Top Hyderabad Buffets For Outstanding Value And Delicious Feasts

If you love your share of pasta and pizza, head to Little Italy, the all-vegetarian kitchen that throws legendary Sunday Brunch buffets. We love their assortment of hummus, salsa, and dips that go perfectly with your nachos, pita, and bread. You can also whip your own salads and canapes at their live counters. The service is hands-on, and you might be persuaded to eat way more than your belly permits. We recommend pacing yourself because almost all the starters and mains here are delicious!

If you like a lively atmosphere while dining out and enjoy kebabs and starters more than mains, head straight to Barbecue Nation for your next team lunch. Once you're seated at the table, a coal-fired tabletop barbecue station is set up, and rows of unlimited starters begin to pour in. Right from chicken to seafood and mushroom to pineapple, several kinds of starters are served, and vegetarian folks have a ton of options too. With other non-barbecue options like crispy corn, potatoes, mutton seekh kebab (don't miss this), tangdi kebab, and more seafood delicacies, you can take a hard pass on the main course. Don't skip the hot desserts, though; they're always delicious. We recommend reserving a table here ahead of time, as the spot can get crowded.

If your entire gang is craving some Chinese and are ready to belt some, head to China Bistro's buffets. We visited China Bistro a couple of times, and their buffet has always been top notch. Whether you love dim sums or Mongolian Chicken, there is a fine spread for you to tuck into. Starting with a piping hot soup, the starters arrive at your table, and then there are plenty of desserts too.

Looking for a great all-vegetarian place for catching up with your buddies? We recommend A'La Liberty's buffet that has a diverse spread covering everything from North Indian to Continental food. So, whether you're in the mood for Gobi Manchurian, Pulao, pasta or pizza, you'll have a great time here. Don't fill up on the starters alone, the main course here is equally amazing.

Dining at Flechazo truly is a fun experience, with live counters where you can try your hand and bite-sized chaats served on a conveyor belt. The place serves excellent pizza, pasta, Indian mains, chaat and the regular buffet dishes like starters that will be served on the table. Once the welcome drinks and first round of starters are done, we totally recommend heading to the live pizza counters, where you can choose your own toppings and try your hand at baking the pizza (with Chef supervision, of course). Fill up on the pani puri here, it's the best!

Prego at The Westin is where you should head for fun Sunday Brunches with the boys or your family. You get to eat gourmet Italian food served pan-to-plate style on your table while dancing away to a live DJ set poolside. You also get access to the pool, so you can take a dip and have lunch leisurely. The vibes are always upbeat here, and the food is amazing. Don't miss their wood-fired pizzas and fresh bruschettas when you visit. There are also elaborate cheese platters and made-to-order grilled meats on the buffet.

Absolute Barbecue was all the rage when it opened in Hyderabad and continues to be, especially for team lunches and birthday dinners. Since the place gets so busy so fast, we recommend reserving a table, especially for special occasions, and getting there on time to avoid losing your table (yes, it gets that busy.) This spot is a meat lover's paradise, offering you a host of appetisers in chicken, mutton, fish, prawns and a few exotic meats as well. With coal-fired barbecue stations at your table, welcome drinks and live counters that change every day, the fare here is nothing short of luxurious. Mains can be a hit or miss here, so we recommend heading straight to desserts, where there are at least seven to eight options for cold desserts and two to three options for hot Indian desserts.

Seasonal Tastes, the all day buffet spot at The Westin is great if you'd like to dine with your family in a peaceful yet lively environment.

Head here for a scrumptious breakfast, or sit back and relax for a lunch or dinner meal. Make reservations ahead of time, and don't miss the in house ice cream counter.

Food Exchange is that fool-proof spot we'd pick on any occasion to have dinner with our buddies or with family. This buffet space at the Novotel Hyderabad Airport serves a mix of global and Indian cuisine with many live counters. Take a pick from their selection of breads and soups, and settle in while you're served appetisers on the table. We like that their mains are as good as their appetisers, and yes, they also have a chaat counter. Check out their homemade podis and pickles to go with your rice dishes; they're yummy. They also organise food festivals pretty regularly, highlighting food from various states in India or overseas. If you're looking to drink with your meal, look for their alcohol packages to save some coins.

One of the best places in town you can head to for Sunday brunches, Jonathan's Kitchen provides an upbeat buffet experience on the weekends. As live musicians belt out the latest Bollywood and Pop hits, walk around and explore their salad counters, live counters serving amazing meats and mains. We recommend going for the kebabs, Butter Garlic Prawns and other appetisers served fresh from the live counters, along with some decent biryani. They also take up special cooking requests if you need any modifications to your dishes. Book a table ahead of time, so you're not waiting in long queues when you visit.

Housed inside Thrill City in Begumpet, Signature Grills is an all-vegetarian buffet spot offering a massive variety of 70+ appetisers, mains and desserts. The service here is especially fab, so we recommend heading here for special occasions too. As is the case with most buffet spots, the appetisers take the prize at Signature Grills as well, offering a host of innovative dishes like stir-fried Broccoli and Cheese Kurkure and barbecue starters grilled on the table. They have live counters for Pani Puri, pastas and pizzas, and the Dal Makhni is a must try. We also liked that they have a variety of Jain options on the menu. So once you're done gaming and chilling in Thrill City, you know where to head for lunch!

Hummus on your mind? Check out Zouq for a different kind of buffet. Make yourself comfy amidst a themed decor with Persian-inspired art and blue and wooden-toned seating, and get ready to dig in. Expect Baba Ghanoush, Shakshuka, Falafel, Kofte, Turkish Bread, and a whole lot of veggie and non-veg grills along with clay pot dishes. The different types of Khunafas are a cherry on top. Make sure you end your meal with that melt-in-mouth dessert, or you will have to return for another feast (which you should anyway).

Jalpaan remains one of Hyderabad's oldest vegetarian buffet restaurants, and that's for a reason —food that will never disappoint you. The atmosphere is cosy with warm lighting, comfy seating, and a dark ambience, just right where you can take a breather from Begumpet traffic. This place is a favourite for family gatherings due to its large seating capacity. Their buffet is dominated by North Indian dishes followed by Indo-Chinese, Continental and South Indian. We love the chaat, kebabs, paneer butter masala, veg chatpat, butter rotis and rasmalai— a hearty meal for us at Jalpaan. Pay special attention to their dessert spread because that will be enough to fill you with many varieties.

Expect chaat live counters, soups, starters, salad, main course, bread, dessert and a beverage section. They serve flavorful veg and non-veg North Indian, South Indian and Chinese dishes. What makes them stand out is the fact that they have more main course dishes than regular buffet restaurants (and more veg options, too). Coming to the ambience, the place has abundant natural lighting and a huge seating space. If you go on a festive occasion, their decor matches the mood.

Parampara is an all-vegetarian restaurant with a delicious North Indian buffet spread. They bring flavours from around the country, and this is the best place for family gatherings and hearty feasts —think get-togethers, corporate lunches and big dinners. It's a spacious place with a cosy and colourful vibe. You can go for their set menu, which includes soup, three starters, three main courses, two rice dishes, breads and two desserts (perfect for a large gathering) or go for the regular. Expect your usual starters: Chili Paneer, Paneer Majestic, Babycorn Manchurian, Indian main course and kebab. While the dishes are standard, the taste makes Parampara a reliable restaurant for great food. The buffet spread is maintained piping hot, and fresh bread is prepared upon order. All in all, it is a solid place for vegetarian desi khaana.

Rustic decor and scintillating aromas of regional cuisine, Rayalseema Ruchulu is where we take our non-local pals for a taste of coastal Andhra cuisine. First, many dishes are spicy here, so if that's your jam, that's great. If not, let the staff know to make it mild. Coming to the buffet, there are a lot of varieties, so get ready to burn some calories in between walks from the table to the spread. You'll have soups, starters, biryani (of course), plain rice, dal, curry and desserts. Their Natu Kodi Curry, Ulavacharu Chicken Pulao, Karivepaku Chicken and Pachi Mirpa Kodi Pulao are must-try; be sure to wash them down with majjiga (buttermilk).
