The Spicy Venue - South Indian restaurant in Hyderabad - Hyderabad, India

Visited with a lot of expectations but was not worth the hype. Huge waiting times, pricy yet not so tasty food items were the drawbacks. Price and quantity of food didn't match either. Presentation was also very disappointing. Service is good for a very busy restaurant but was definitely not impressed with taste of the food. Apricot Delight was the only thing that felt satisfied for the price and it's taste even though its presentation was mediocre at best.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Mushroom Biryani and Chilly Paneer at this restaurant, and I must say, both dishes hit the mark with their perfect medium spice levels. The flavors were spot-on, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. But the real star of the show was their famous Apricot Delight. It's an absolute must-try! The unique combination of flavors in this dessert left me craving for more. One thing to keep in mind is that the wait time can be quite high during weekends, so it's advisable to visit early to secure a table and enjoy your meal without any delays.

We ate Pepper chicken, Apollo Fish, Ginger baby corn, MLA Potlam Biryani and Apricot delight. All the starters were good. Portion was very good. I saw so many good reviews for the Potlam Biryani but found it to be over hyped. Apricot delight was very good. Very busy on weekends. One can reserve a table on phone. We booked during peak lunch time and had to wait for just 15-20 mins. We got table on first floor where ambience was ok. No issue with parking as they provide valet parking.

Classy ambience but you have to wait to get in. Wonderful service and the best part is the food. I would definitely recommend trying the MLB potlam briyani. Perfectly cooked briyani rice with keema and luscious prawns. It's a must have for every briyani lover. The thali is good, the paneer briyani is awesome, Ulavacharu Chicken Wings and most of the other dishes taste good. The apricot delight is just fantastic. It's available all over Hyderabad but these guys have perfected this desert. It's also a must try if you are here at the spicy venue.

Foods okay not so great. Service was good. Ambience is okay. No reason for me go back to this place again

The Spicy Venue is an excellent place to enjoy authentic local food. Ambience and decor are typical earthly colours making you feel welcoming and hungry. Do try their apricot delight. Highly recommended

Loved the starters of Chicken And Veg. The must try item in this place has to be the MLA Potlam Biryani. The biryani has mutton keema, chicken and prawns wrapped in a huge omelette. the aroma makes up for how heavy this dish is. The other star item of this place is the Apricot Delight dessert. I have not tasted a better Apricot dessert than here in the city. Surely a place to visit for these and enjoy.

The place looks small, but this gives good authentic feel over the Andhra flavours. Food tasted good, went in by around 4, so there was no rush. But afternoons are busy. This can be one of your visit locations.
