Review Hotel Samskruthi Restaurant - Hyderabad

Decent and perfect place for typical andhra meals.. They serve buffet for 180rs.. includes water bottle, Any flavoured Rice, white rice,2curries, 1fry, 1deep fry, Dal,sambar,rasam,raagi sangati, papad, ghee, curd,raita,banana,sweet.. Taste was good.. Good quality.. Service was not up to the mark.. Decent dining.. Best place , those who wants to eat perfect meals..

They market as Home food & do agree that it is almost close to home food. Though it is self service buffet not all the items were steaming hot. Taste was good & they had good variety. Good place to visit for lunch but parking is tough as the road is small. Hotel interiors could be better

The best South Indian meals ever had in Hyderabad. I have visited almost 20 places in Hyderabad but not one is close to the price and food. All varieties - very nutritious. It's my go to place for a Veg Thali The quality of oil and rice quality. Healthy and tasty.

I found this to be a decent place serving good quality South Indian meal at reasonable prices. It has a dhaba like setting. I tried their buffet. Everything had a homely feeling.

Love their meals and wanted to try their biryanis too. The place gives you a vibe of 2000's hotel nestled in deep interiors of Andhra. Their ulavacharu chicken biryani is a must try! I don't prefer ulavacharu but these people made me a fan out of it. Great taste! Gongura chicken is decent too!

Very good food. If you are looking for South Indian meals, I would suggest you to try. Worth it. Ambience is also okayish.

Recently, we ordered catering for a lunch party to celebrate our Gruha Pravesham (Housewarming), and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! Our Gruhapravesham function went seamlessly, and undoubtedly, the highlight was the exceptional lunch organized by your team. Everyone at the event appreciated the delightful spread and the incredible taste of the items served. The Fruit Punch was especially awesome, and every dish was not only delicious but also plentiful. Surprisingly, the catering exceeded our expectations, accommodating more guests than we had originally ordered for. I'm genuinely impressed, and I will definitely be recommending your catering services to everyone in my circle. Thank you very much for making our celebration memorable!

We ordered for team lunch food is tasty. Mutton curry is good. I am suggest increase quality of charuva

Amount paid for Vegetarian Buffet is really worth it. The place and ambience is cool, clean and I felt a bit traditional. Overall a good choice to dine in. Tried their gongura mutton biryani as well..it touched my soul🥹🥹🥹really good. The cook needs to be appreciated.

If you want to taste authentic Andhra meal at the best price, then Samskruthi is the best place to enjoy. They offer veg buffet meal at just Rs. 180, which includes chapati, 1 veg starter, 2 veg curries, veg biryani, plain rice, pappu, sambhar, curd, gun powder, 1 sweet and fryms. You can also order Ala Carte which includes non veg items viz. Chicken starters, chicken curries, biryani etc.. which are also available at reasonable price. Only issue is the parking, since its located on a small row. Food is tasty and proper hygiene maintained

It's a great experience to have homely like food with affordable prices. Had veg buffet every item tastes much better with no masalas or added flavours.

When you are in Gachibowli, do visit this place for great Andra Pradesh food. It's very tasty and very regional. Loved the spices and presentation. I had order prawns curry and chicken biryani. The prawns curry was very tasty and chicken biryani was very spicy.

I have ordered one veg meals and bendi fry. The quantity of the meal is good and tasted like home cooked food. <br/>

Went here for veg buffet with family. The food is tasty and looks healthy. There is a decent enough spread for the amount.

Tasty n quality food value for money.

Food was not tasty. I ordered ghee sambhar rice. It came somewhat cold. Sambhar taste was not good. It felt like watery sambhar there were no veggies. And overall felt it to be bland. Packaging was ok

Today I bought rice item with chicken curry . It's not at all worthy of 191(including delivery charges).. worst taste.that curry was too worst .

It is like collection of leftover, i am very much dissoppointed to have such a food on my first order from Zomato. I will try to keep away from booking orders on zomato

This is the place if you are looking for thalis either veg or non veg,<br/>Me and my sister ordered two veg thalis and to our suprise the portion of one thali was enough for more than one ..<br/><br/>Portion size : it will have two chapatis , one dal ,two vegetables , one raita and salad along with lot of rice<br/><br/>Taste : typical home made i had after a long time and was really happy i ordered here..<br/><br/>Price : probably the best place in town where you will get everything you can have at very little price ..<br/><br/>Overall a highly recommended place for everyone..

This restaurant did not provide any bill for the order and when we contact with manager he said they will not be providing any bills for online orders

This is one of the good Pocket friendly buffet restaurant around Gachibowli. 120 bucks for veg buffet per person. The restaurant is small and without air conditioning, but buffet spread was worth spending time here.<br/><br/>Veg buffet includes unlimited items of following<br/><br/>Roti,<br/>Green peas and aloo curry,<br/>Dum aloo and carrot,<br/>Dondakaya fry,<br/>Ragi sangati,<br/>Palak dal,<br/>Sambar,<br/>Rasam,<br/>White rice,<br/>Majjiga charu,<br/>Fryums,<br/>Chutney and pickles,<br/>Sweets like rava kesari or Ras Malai<br/><br/>All the dishes will be changed every day.<br/>Different veg dishes and desserts will be replaced.<br/>Heard that non veg biryanis were worth trying.<br/>Looking forward to try them as well.<br/><br/>Only thing to keep note here is hotel has no air conditioning and in this summer, be prepared to sweat while eating :-D<br/><br/>Happy dining folks ... !!!<br/><br/>

not good

I want to be as honest as I can in this review. Today I ordered a veg Biryani from this hotel and was excited to receive the parcel on-time However my excitement for a Sunday lunch was short lived as the package I recieved had a cover in and it was not just any cover but a cover of gutkha packet. It looked like it also got completely cooked in the Biryani. We paid 130₹ for this Biryani and inturn a pack full of bull****. Worst Biryani ever.

One of the best places to have mess food in Hyderabad. The quality of food they serve for the price is very commendable. If u are planning to visit during lunch, over a week day then you might have to wait for the table.

I have been here almost every day for 3 months. I liked the both veg and non-veg dishes, number of items in the buffet. pocket friendly restaurant.

Food is awesome and especially the buffet is way to awesome and budget friendly. It’s just that the place is always crowded. Apart from that you can indulge yourselves in almost every kind of a dish you want.

on time delivery

Good and on time

Good food

Awesome taste of egg fried rice

Tried the ragi sankati with natukodi. Was very furious when I found out they were serving broiler chicken for natukodi. Very disappointing. Never prefer this dish.

Though hygine was maitained while i ordered the food... but the taste was not that great. Ragi was too salty. And the food sent was not even warm.

This is a very good pocket friendly option for traditional Andhra cuisine. Meals are unlimited and they cost around 120 bucks. There is a good variety of dishes and it’s very clean.

<br/>Very fast delivery thanq

good

nice<br/><br/>

Worst quantity of food you guys are giving. I kept food order on 8/5/2018<br/><br/>order no:1446946284<br/><br/>I have ordered 1 full chicken curry and 1 full chilly chicken.<br/><br/>I am very disappointed with the quantity<br/><br/>the quantity is very less ,also<br/><br/>some bad smell is coming from food<br/><br/>this is not the way to deal with customers. the bill I paid is 410 and the food I got is not even worth 200<br/><br/>I need clarification regarding this

Since the time I have been to Hyderabad,I really didn't prefer much of Andhra Cuisine untill I was suggested this place by my roommate and truly speaking, I actually started to develop a liking for the local Andhra Cuisine.<br/><br/>I happened to order food online from this place....and both the times they left me amazed by their signature dishes, a special mention to Raagi Sankati with Natukodi Pulusu Curry (Andhra style chicken curry). While Ragi and Rice is staple in Andhra and it went really well with spicy Chicken curry. And then I tried the delicious and homely Mutton Curry which consisted of spices ,grated coconut and the tender pieces of Mutton. 😍😋<br/><br/>Overall a great place to try out some local cuisine within budget!! With Durga Santhpet

Sorting places near DLF to have lunch with lesser waiting time on a FRIDAY 🙏 I Got to know about this place from one of my colleague as they serve good veg buffet, 🙁 Then I took help of Zomato bhayya to find either i can get non veg or not 😜Finally Yes! Samskruthi serves good veg buffet for the price of around 130 bucks and we will get an option of choosing non veg from menu. Which is really interesting 😊<br/><br/>On the day when we have been here we didn’t found good options in the veg menu (of course how can we eat veg when there is non-veg option in other hand) 🤣 Ordered Ragi Sangati combo with Natukodi pulsu which made me to remember my home food and also tried fried peace biryani which is little bit oily but still it’s fine with good taste. 😋<br/><br/>Price is also very reasonable. Worth for the money spent. Ambience is good in the AC dinning hall,Don’t ask me about other dinning hall because I really donno. yeah the price may vary between these two halls☺️ but still it’s fine 👍<br/><br/>Really loved this place like anything as this became my first option to choose in online to order.And they really serve with good quantity even in online too which is really appreciable 👏🏻

I had been to this place with my roomie to pick up veg meals parcel...the place is decent and also serves buffet as well, they also have non veg options as well

The veg meals buffet cost me RS.120, not too costly for a buffet you may feel. But the items and the sequence in which they were placed makes it impossible to even try 70% of the items. By the time u complete chapati and jeera rice with hostel quality gravies (aloo gravy couldn't be made in a more cheaper way) u get almost full. The taste of dal and rasam were good, but felt extremely bloated after the meal (soda possibly??). After extreme disappointment, finished the meal with high quality curd and slightly watery buttermilk. Also the whole concept of a buffet that includes sambar and rasam will make u regret the whole experience.

This all together a different restaurant not the typical regular one. No restaurant does the way like this.<br/><br/>It offers ultimate food in just a budget of Rs 100-150. The ambience is modest and the place is always busy. At one point this become our top spot for team lunch..:)<br/><br/>The food is amazing with wide variety available.

This is one of the most irritating restaurant .<br/>They made me to wait for 30 mins and not confirmed the order and made me to cancel .<br/><br/>Never order / eat here . 😤

This is not your regular restaurant. This is a busy place that serves food to hungry people and make them happy at mere 140 Rs of budget. I had couple of lunches here and never regretted even once. I wonder how they are providing such a range of veg buffet at 120 Rs with such a good quality of food. Its homely to the core ! <br/><br/>The only problem you would face is to find a seat to sit and safeguard it. You will see people eating in standing and near the buffet line itself. I bet you would feel like you are eating too much with out control. <br/><br/>Overall, a must visit place for any south Indian to have a sumptuous lunch.

Samskruthi is Culture/Tradition! Well the name is as good as the food over here. The most famous one remains the Veg buffet served along with the famous ‘Ragi Sankati’! Food is served along with different sabjis! Me & my pals ordered the Chicken 🍗 Biryani which was Good! The fry piece biryani was spicy but yumm! Decor is normal but very well maintained! The hotel personnel are very busy considering the crowd but they make it a point to attend your request. The serving style of the buffet reminded me of Buffets in Marriages though 🤪 They treat you like the guests who come to a traditional Andhra marriages. Quick tasty servings 🤩 Good for a quick lunch with loads of options!

Went here while visiting a friend. Initially I was skeptical about the place. But the taste blew me over. Taste of paradise for having vegetarian meal buffet. Don't miss out on this place!

Tasty south Indian food for a very affordable price. Authentic Godavari,Krishna- Andhra style food. Must try royyala iguru(prawn curry) and chicken curry. The place is usually very crowded as expected from any place with tasty food.

A good place for veg meals with good decent number of items, ragi mudha will be good and biryani is ok to try, mostly meals will be worth to try and will be good for the price

Planning for an heavy n tummy full lunch with high on economy calculation????<br/>Yeah....samskruthi will make you happy in either ways......<br/>It’s a full end Andhra meals/food you get here with guaranteed taste.....<br/>PS: please don’t ask for a awesome ambience...😜😜<br/>🥘 🥘🥘🥘

I went there for a lunch buffet with a team of 10 people. We opted for veg.<br/>These r the things we had-<br/>Roti, jeera rice, plain rice<br/>Cucumber curry, cauliflower curry, yellow dal,<br/>Dondakai fry, egg plant curry, sambar,<br/>Chutney, papad, some sweet made from pumpkin.<br/>Food is okayish. Couldn't expect more in such cheap price.

Excellent place for authentic andhra n rayalaseema food. Try Raagi Sangati here. Lunch buffet is simply super. Be prepared to wait as there will be rush during lunch time.

I m regular customer here ! But today I faced worst experience and response from the guy at the counter is non sense. I order a Natukodi biryani parcel at 8:50 PM and found only bones are available, not even a small piece of flesh to eat. When I came to the place to give feedback , I came to know that biryani was completed and we were given with just bones and rice and they costed 210/- even without chicken in it. This is completely shittiest response & no one cares for it rather other guy (old age) tell some times it happens, I told some times I don't pay full money will u adjust ? He is like no ! I told go and f*** ! Some one I got good response from another employee to come and meet manager tomorrow afternoon. Let's see what they does !

Best veg buffet for reasonable price with local flavors and excellent taste. This is place is near to software companies and hostels and you can easily prefer for an normal food being bored with pizza, burgers etc. Chicken dum Biryani is ok and looks like home cooked. Recommended place.

A quick lunch during an office day made very satisfying. Nothing mind blowing or drama. Simply a filling homely meal with local tastes. A nice place to try out the local cuisine for the wary. The manager/owner is a friendly chap who makes you feel welcome without being overbearing.

Very nice place for a good meal or biriyani at a relatively low cost. Their veg meals Buffet is awesome. Then they have a chicken dry fry, that's delicious too

The best mess I have come across in Gachibowli..I have been visiting this place from the past 5years..The price is still the same..The best Andhra bhojanam..i like the veg buffet spread..poddulu, pachaddlu, neyyi, kura, pappu, ulava charu, raagi mudda, pulusu, sambhar, rice, roti, appadalu, pulihora, rasam, perugu, arati pandu..all these varieties at very much affordable buffet prices..I have noticed that many employees around gachibowli have their daily lunch here..hygience is maintained..I love the andhra food here..I'd surely visit this place again:)

Worst Natu Kodi biryani Worst Natu Kodi Biryani Worst Natu Kodi biryani Worst Natu Kodi biryani Worst Natu Kodi Biryani Worst Natu Kodi biryani

Been to this place for lunch,<br/>Had buffet lunch@100₹,<br/>Had plenty of items to choose <br/>and tastes good.<br/>I mostly liked ragi mudda,veg curries.<br/><br/>Overall good.

Had Veg Buffet couple of times here, I feel like this is the most pocket friendly. Food is very good and its worth the cost. Must try place in Gachibowli.

I don't understand how are people writing positive reviews about this place. It's a horrible place to have meals. Even if you are ok while eating the food (which I was not) you will for sure feel the bloat in your stomach later. Even the small 60 Rs meals are far better than this. I felt so uncomfortable for at least 2 hours after having food here. the number of items and food given are more also the quality of curries or other dishes are ok but the soda added to fill your tummy is too horrible. Moreover none of the guys are professional. Starting from the billing counter till the waiters none of them knows how to do their work. Only few people may like it.

Had lunch buffet here and the taste of the food is very good. Didn't try biryani here, will have it soon. Coming to veg dishes they have ulavacharu as well in the serving and rest south indian thali items. Must try.

Salt for starters, salt and baking soda for main course and sugar for desserts; that my friend is what this place specialises in. Have seen rats running around 2-3 times I have been there. Tried the natu chicken curry once and the chicken was almost purified; yuk! Since then I have tried (yeah tried because of the enormous salt content eating only the vegetarian fare there.<br/> <br/>I cannot understand how people who eat there can withstand a salt induced stroke; I went there a few times only because I didn't know of any other option of a Andhra/Telengana buffet place nearby. But now I have figured out a place called Krishna food court at Kondapur junction and that's where I will go to satiate my Andhra food cravings.

Ordered prawns biryani and prawn chilli. Both tasted exactly same. There was no flavour in rice but spices.Prawns chilli was ordinary.<br/><br/>After all this didnt had much courage to order anythng else, price is also in higher side. Not worth it

If you want a sneak peek into Business-As-Usual lunching style of Telengana, try this place. Ambience can be better, to be honest can be a lil more clean. Apart from that, good veg buffet with options like Banana fry, Gongura dal curry, Ulavacharu rice and decent Rasam. Chicken biriyani is average!

The behavior of the staff wasn't pretty good , to add up with the fact that the chicken served in Chicken Fry tasted foul & stale. When complained, the old person sitting at the counter gave us looks as if we were stealing something of sorts :-P taste isn't pretty good , although price is a little on the budget side

One of the best place to have a nice Veg Buffet lunch at Minimum cost. <br/><br/>This restaurant can be applied to CHEAP AND BEST. It is very hygienic as well as Healthy.

Had buffet from here. it was very good. The dishes are tasty and rates are affordable. I recommend this place for buffet which they serve during both lunch time and dinner time.

Highlights : 100/- for veg Buffet ; Taste was good ; Served a variety of dishes like 4 veg curries , dal , roti , pulav , ragisangati , veg manchuria , dessert , ulavacharu , etc <br/>Negatives : Dishes were not that hot ; average ambience , should be more hygiene , improvement of infrastructure needed .<br/>Overall a budget friendly place .. go ahead !!

Foodlovers plz avoid this dirty stuff, in addition to food they serve lizards, coakroachs and houseflies purely unhygenic and irresponsible management

A good pocket friendly place to have normal meals.. It basically is a regular mess where you order a meal but, presented in a buffet format.. the food here tastes good so attracts good crowd..

This is one place where I can think of first, when I want to have some buffet style lunch. It is always crowded durum by the lunch time, plan accordingly.<br/>Price 4/5<br/>Ambience 2/5<br/>Taste 3.5/5<br/>Overall I can recommend this place to my friends

I will rate it high as this place overwhelmed me with my most fab item that is EGG MASALA. I loved the spice and flavours that this guys served on the plate. Cost front its wise to pocket. Disappointment was the fulkas they are very dry and far from good at taste.

if good food is all that matters then this place is a must visit<br/>its a little crowded between 1pm to 230 pm so i dont recommend to go at that time but the homely buffet they serve is one of the best in town its typical telugu style buffet but  taste and flavor seemed as good as my moms food which i was missing in hyderabad<br/>the biryani bursts with flavor, me and my friends order the biryani almost 4 times a week its awsome <br/>the non veg curries they serve are pretty good natukodi pulusu and ragisangati beats all in the restaurant  its spicy as it should and the flavor is good too<br/>the sea food is good fish cuury ,prawns  curry and fry are fresh and had no problems with those <br/>all in all its a very good restuarant but when i look at the phulkas they dont look cooked properly but when i taste them oh they are more than cooked i think it depends on the stove the use for phulkas or chapatis<br/>i strictly recommend to not go in crowded timings from 1pm to 2pm people literaly stand and eat as if they were attending an function and loving the food, i see many  regluar customers , this place is well liked by people

As the name suggests the food here is definitely homely. Everytime I went in came out with full of food till throat😂😂. Guys who stay away from families would love it. The place even makes you feel home.

We went for a Dinner Buffet...!! Awesomee... Lovelyy food..!! It feels like you are in your home.. Non native guys gonna love this place.. Try this for sure

One of the worst biryani ever been I had.king of tasteless biryani.if I would've the authority of shortlist the restaurant based on ur horrible taste of biryani definetly I'd been nominated ur name Samskruti for limca book of record.shame on all of the most talented cook of samskruti...

Vegeterian Lunch Buffet at just 100 bucks!<br/>The spread is quite lavish and so are the taste of the dishes. On another visit, I tried their chicken biryani and Natukodi which I liked. Though the taste of the dishes are more on the South Indian cooking style, still this place is good for a change.

Good for veg buffet, dominated by South Indian tastes, have tried their chicken biryani and natukodi (country chicken) with ragi Sankati and found them to be flavorsome though on the spicier side and very moderately priced. Ambience is not something great to talk about though and it gets severely overcrowded during lunch times esp Fridays.

It's a good place for veg buffet at 100Rs. They have lot of servings for 100Rs. The Roti was not warm as I went after 2pm but it tasted well. Must try place for heavy eaters at low price.

Off late I have been very experimental with food and hence one such day decided to check out this place just because of great reviews on Zomato. After my outing there, I am confused on who would rate this place so great. Walked in around 10PM one night and were put off first thing was the hygiene or rather the lack of it. However, there were veg meals being served which did not look too promising and cold too. So we asked on what was available. Natukodi curry plus 4 rotis and egg bhurjee and 4 rotis were the combo available and we settled for that. Besides the numerous mosquitoes, we were also greeted by cats roaming freely inside the place. The rotis looked half cooked and were more slammed onto the table in one go rather than being served one after the other as you would expect. The food was not tasteless and was not great either, nothing to write about on that front. When we went to settle the bill, the menu that was at our table and the one that the cashier was referring to had different rates. Though there was not a huge difference in rates but looks weird to see different rates on the same menu at one place.Not a great experience dining here.

Average food. Few curries were decent but can't expect much as the price is on the lower end. Good place for everyday dinner, nominal price for working professionals. I personally liked the dry dishes better than curries.

Taste - 4.5/5<br/>Ambience - 3/5<br/>Service - 4/5<br/>Value for money - 5/5<br/>Best and must visit place for working bachelor's, working women , students and foodie .. With lowest and cheaper price your hunger will be fulfilled with delicious and home made type buffet lunch.

I ordered chicken biryani and they delivered me how exactly I wanted it to be. Of course, the biryani is delicious. I once had vegetarian buffet here it is too good and completely worth the price.
