Zamindar Restaurant

"I have been a regular customer of Zamindar, but after this incident I will never order or visit again. My latest Swiggy order of Hyderabad Dum Biryani was an absolute disgrace to food and hygiene. The biryani was drenched in oil—when I squeezed the rice, nearly 150 ml of oil poured out. This is not the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani they serve during dine-in. Instead, it was greasy low-quality, stored rice and chicken, a careless, unhealthy mess that no responsible kitchen should ever serve. I immediately called the restaurant. A lady said she would “check and get back.” I sent videos and photos as proof, but instead of resolving the issue, she blocked my number. When I called again, I reached another person who apologized and offered either a replacement or extra food on my next visit. I clearly stated I wanted a refund, not more food. He promised to “check and send” the money—but never responded. This is pure negligence and disrespect toward a loyal customer. I then complained to Swiggy, who at first refused to refund me. Only after a long and exhausting argument did they finally return my hard-earned money. And this is not a one-time mistake. Zamindar operates on false claims and dangerous practices: They boast “no artificial colors or tasting salt,” yet dishes like their Hong Kong Chicken are loaded with harsh artificial coloring that stains your hands and refuses to wash off. They claim to use Amul butter, but this is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. They use cheap stock chicken and have even served me spoiled chicken during dine-in in the past. On another visit, we ordered Butter Naan and Butter Chicken. The butter-chicken vessel had visible dish-washer stains, clearly not cleaned properly. After we showed it to the staff, they took it back—and within just five minutes returned the same contaminated butter chicken transferred directly into another vessel, proving how irresponsible and careless they are with hygiene. This restaurant is unhygienic, dishonest, and unsafe. They fool customers with big words while serving food that is harmful to health and show zero accountability when caught. 🚫 Do NOT believe their fake promises. 🚫 Do NOT waste your money. 🚫 Do NOT risk your health. Zamindar is dangerous. I strongly urge Swiggy, Zomato, and food authorities to take strict action against this restaurant for cheating customers, serving unsafe food, and providing pathetic customer service."

"Authentic taste & Great ambience I recently visited zamindar restaurant and was truly impressed. The food was delicious especially their south Indian veg and south Indian menus - the chicken kabab were top notch. The service was polite and quick. Highly recommend if you are looking for south Indian food..."

"⭐ 1/5 - Horrible Experience! Avoid This Place! I regret visiting this restaurant after being fooled by their Instagram ads. The reality was shocking—terrible food quality, unhygienic conditions, and even cockroaches near the food storage! The food had a bad smell, was cold, and tasted awful, so we left without eating. They even charged extra for lemon! The restaurant was empty (no surprise), and the staff admitted the food quality was bad, yet nothing was done. The manager was informed but didn’t care. Previously, this place had good food on the 3rd floor, but now they only care about money, not customers. That’s why they’re misleading people with ads—don’t fall for it! A complete waste of time and money. Never coming back! Photos attached as proof."

"I visited Zamindar Restaurant with friends for their unlimited non-veg combo priced at ₹329, which includes two chicken starters and two varieties of chicken biryani. While the price is quite pocket-friendly, the experience was mixed. The kebab and chilly chicken were decent in the first serving, but subsequent rounds mostly had bony pieces, and the chilly chicken even tasted undercooked at one point. The biryanis were served cold, and although the dum biryani tasted slightly better once reheated, both options were just average overall. Beverages were limited, and the Goli Soda at ₹80 felt overpriced since extra was charged over MRP. The raita was watery, tasteless, and when we requested a replacement, the staff refused, saying they couldn’t prepare a new batch until the existing stock was finished. Zamindar used to be one of my favorite spots for unlimited combos near Kammanahalli, but compared to my earlier visits, the taste and quality have clearly dropped. For the price, it’s still a decent budget-friendly option, but the food and service no longer live up to the old reputation."

"We have opted for 450 rs buffet and it was nice.. we enjoyed.. bit less crowded when compared to the 340 buffet.. Staff behaviour is also good better u reach there by 1pm after that it will be crowded.. we almost 11 people are there we liked it.. it was decent.. u can give a try..."

"Waste of money..."
