Adaa

The palace is magnificent to look at and their hospitality makes you feel at home. Unfortunately all good things come to an end. The food story is a mess here. Talking about specifics, the mutton was dry as a stone and chicken was dry as a rubber band. I can say with shear confidence that the food isn’t Taj worthy or “food worthy”. I know my opinions are strong but so is their pricing.

Is the experience worth the money?
Yes it is !!
You get the royal feeling of Nizams when you dine here in Adaa of Falaknuma.
Good hospitality.
Starters - 5/5
Haleem - 5/5
Do I have anything to complain about?
Yes ! Might sound hyderabadi but as a hyderabadi in the hyderabadi cuisine why don't you have hyderabadi deserts? For example - to name a few - Kaddhu ka kheer, Qubaani, Double ka meetha?
And Why can't we finish with Paan?

As the place says , they provide finest service and they treat you well . But the food is not at all worth of 6500 , the worst part is I got hair particle in mutton curry . Mango desert is very good , rest all normal taste . Better take palace tour with High tea unless if you want to spend 13000 for 2 people lunch .

We opted for the set menu which was 5500+taxes per person. Free for kids below 5.

Good
1. Overall quality of the food served. All the meat was juicy and tender, esp mutton unlike typical Hyderabadi dry fare
2. Tomato shorba, wild berry sorbet, double ka meeta and the bloody delicious mutton curry were the highlights.
3. Service was great and attentive.
4. The decor was charming, grand and luxurious.
5. Palace tour was really exciting.
6. Picturesque , beautifully maintained palace.

Bad
1. Overdose of chicken and mutton items.
2. Menu was wanting for high quality seafood at that price.
3. Service should have been personal. I would have loved introductions to the items, the origin of the ingredients, chefs profile etc…
4. I wish we didn’t have to remind them to repeat a few items.
5. You would eat enough calories sufficient for a bear getting ready for hibernation.

Overall a wonderful, grand, luxurious experience but would avoid set menu and go for a la carte next time.

Very expensive for what you get. The food wasn’t super memorable however the setting and the atmosphere was unforgettable

Ada is an excellent restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The menu is diverse and features a mix of traditional and contemporary dishes. The flavors are bold and well-balanced, and the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who go out of their way to ensure that customers have a pleasant experience. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, making it a great spot for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. Overall, I highly recommend Ada for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a comfortable and welcoming setting.

The place has an unmatched grandeur
May be a touch expensive but one has to understand that the price is being paid for experiencing a slice of history and not merely the food.
Even the veg food which we ordered from the set menu was extremely delicious and almost every dish left a lasting impact on our taste buds

We had wonderful experience at our 10th Anniversary. First we had a tour of Falaknuma palace and then we were served Royal Hyderabadi delicacies at Adaa. Phenomenal experience, must visit once in a year. Will be back soon...
