Once Upon A Time - Hotel GreenPark - Buffet restaurant in Begumpet, Hyderabad - Medchal Malkajgiri, India

I liked the taste of food. They have variety of veg and non veg dishes and starters, plenty of desserts. Only this I missed is, if chicken biryani is there then no mutton biryani, but mutton curry.

This was a pleasant surprise. The tandoori chicken was excellent- smoked and juicy, the button idli like rotis that came with it were an instant hit with everyone. The mutton shikampuri were almost the size of Idlis! They tasted fine, were flavourful in a neutral/bland sense- can't blame the chef since that's usually how shikampuris are. The khatta jhinga tiger prawns were tangy and flavourful- it was a new take on the same Indian masalas that you won't mind at all. The tandoori broccoli was coated with fresh malai, it was bland but was still quite tasty. The mushroom starter was enjoyed by the vegetarians, though I found it a bit too curry-masala for my taste, no complaints though. The classic green park mutton biryani which we requested from the adjacent restaurant was great- it's a must try if you haven't tasted it before. What could've been better? They didn't have half the beers on the menu. The waitstaff had a hard time dividing the food in equal portions for our large table of 10 people. The gravy for the paneer mains was incredibly bland. In summation, this is a highly recommended place if you eat meat, and if you don't, it's an expensive risk that might just deliver.

Amazing place! Best Indian food I've had in my life. The service and ambience is on point. A bit Crowded. Should book a place in advance. Recommended dishes- must try subz mishran 5/5 it's a mix of vegetables in creamy pistachio sauce Butter chicken - 5/5

The moment you enter the restaurant and scan the menu you will find set menu options.... Non veg 1650+ tax, they will mention that the items will be tasting portion, but you will never expect that the portion will be onlyyyy 1 piece of chicken, 1 prawn and not even 1/4th of a Crab. Tastes great but according to me it is like cheating the customers by charging a lot and serving almost nothing. I guess no need to pay such a huge amount for having 1 piece. Better to order from Ala Carte

The calm and subtle music playing in the restaurant was the perfect accompaniment to my meal. The soft melodies provided a relaxing atmosphere, allowing me to truly enjoy my dining experience without any distractions. The music was not too loud or overpowering, creating a peaceful ambiance that was ideal for conversation. I felt like I could easily unwind and let go of any stress while listening to the gentle tunes in the background. Overall, the calming and subtle music helped to make my dining experience one that I won't soon forget.

Once Upon A Time at Green Park Hotel in Begumpet, Hyderabad is maintaining its standard by offering wide spread of buffet lunch and dinner. But taste of some of their items are not the same as they used to make few years ago. There are plenty of vegetarian items lined up separately beside the table kept for non-veg items. Little away from all the items for main course, large number of dessert items which look yummy and delicious are also available for the visitors loving sweet dishes. The ambience and lighting inside the restaurant hall have undergone some change. Now the dim light everywhere in the dining hall makes the ambience much darker. Each staff member attending the customers are properly maintaining the covid protocol by wearing masks. The entire lobby and dining areas are aesthetically decorated and maintained beautifully. The rest rooms for both gents and ladies are spotlessly clean and wheelchair accessible. There is a ramp for wheelchair access and a valet parking facility.

Tried their Deccan Tales tasting menu and it is the best thing I have ever had in a sit down dinner. The innovation in menu, quality of food, authenticity to hyderabadi taste and service are something to talk about. I highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again soon. Hats off to chef. p.s. if you are someone who wants big portions then you should definitely skip the tasting menu and go for alacarte.

Aptly named 'Once upon a time'. Great decor and ambiance specially the concept of flooring with the reflection of brass birds on to the ceiling. Great deserts. Not a place recommended for vegetarians as there are not many options. Minimal vegetarian buffet spread. I didn't like the service of welcome drinks and starters as we can see in the picture I have posted with the welcome drink served as it is. An OK place to drop by sometime.
