Jalpaan

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 a wide variety.

Flechazo

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 (under the chef's 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 in Hyderabad 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.

Food Exchange 

Food Exchange is that fool-proof spot you'd pick on any occasion to have dinner with your buddies or with family when looking for a buffet in Hyderabad. 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.

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 fabulous, so it is recommended to head 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. You will also like 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!
