“ I had an outstanding experience at Pista House. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was lively and welcoming. Our waitress, Ashley, really stood out — she was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was spot on throughout the meal. Her service added a personal touch that made the visit even better. As for the food, it was phenomenal. The Apollo Fish was a game-changer — crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Kababs were ridiculously tender, full of flavor, and had the perfect amount of spice. And the Mutton Pulav? Absolutely incredible. The rice was fragrant, and the mutton was so tender, it practically melted in my mouth. Overall, Pista House offers great food and a fantastic atmosphere, and with Ashley providing top-notch service, it’s definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend it! ”

“ ARE YOU MISSING HYDERABADI HALEEM?? YES, this is the place for everyone 365 days a. They serve the same authentic taste of haleem, which has the same Hyderabad essence! I loved it; Been here multiple times when feeling bored of cooking; I think this is the place next to home food and yummy snacks. Haleem is the best, and their biryanis are yummy. And not to mention their Meat Appetizers and Sweets. I loved the food and will be there next time !!Don’t forget to have desserts and paan. The ambiance was good. The service was excellent. ”

“ Best Indian Restaurant to try below dishes. Boneless and with bone chicken biryani (Try budget biryani which would just cost 7 if you are alone) Mutton biryani is ok Tandoori Chicken All fish fry Pomfret and Apollo Shrimp Pepper and Shrimp 65 Paneer Biryani Egg bonda Onion pakoda Note: Every dishes across the world at every restaurant cannot be great awesome and perfect so stop blaming the restaurants, hence choose the best from the menu based on reviews or select popular/fast moving ones and enjoy the food thoroughly. Recommendation: Take Shrimp Pepper and Shrimp 65 fry here and have it with White/Brown rice or with Chapati/Pulka/Roti/Naan at home. Also you can try shrimp fries with vegetable curry and rice. Shrimp is considered as a healthiest and fatless sea food it contains lots of great properties, have it Stay fit syay healthy. ”
