Buffets are fab especially if you're someone who can never decide where to go for a meal or are heading out with a group that likes different cuisines. You get to eat your fill while spending quality time with your loved ones without worrying about what to order next, or how much the meal is going to cost. Hyderabad has some amazing buffet spots that offer the best of Sunday brunches and weekday buffets as well. So the next time you're planning a team lunch or birthday party with a big group, check out these best buffet spots in Hyderabad. 

Little Italy

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, 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 get persuaded to eat way more than your tummy permits. We recommend pacing yourself because almost all the starters and mains here are delicious!

Barbeque Nation

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 table top 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.

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.

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!

Absolute Barbecues

Absolute Barbecue was all the rage when they opened in Hyderabad, and continue 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 everyday, 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 7-8 options for cold desserts and 2-3 options for hot Indian desserts.

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

Head to this super fun and colourful buffet-only restaurant with your family to have a host of Indian delicacies. We love that Manchi Baphe's are super vibrant and great for photo-ops, making them a great choice for special occasions as well. They also have a dedicated play area for kids, so they can have fun while you dine fuss-free. The appetisers are especially great here, aside from a bunch of live counters for chaat, pizza, pasta and even momos! We're pretty sure you'll be full after the first course, so we recommend jumping straight to desserts.

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.
