What people say, in short
Nandhana Palace is an Andhra restaurant that many people recommend, especially for its biryani, with one diner saying any biryani on the menu is tasty and a couple praising the Hyderabadi paneer biryani in particular. Others disagree: a few commenters call the place overrated, one diner found the biryani bland and the price unjustified after a long wait, and another describes it as flavourless, dry biryani in a bad Hyderabadi style. Another warns that quality drops on delivery apps, so it is better visited in person.
