What to order

The best things to order at Manam

Whether it is your first visit or your tenth, these are the dishes that define the Manam experience across every section of the menu.

The signature

Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani

Manam's founding dish and best-seller. Tender chicken marinated in whole spices, layered with saffron-infused basmati and cooked dum-style until the flavours meld. Order this first — it is why most people visit.

Street food must-try

Pani Puri

Crispy hollow puris filled with spiced tamarind water, chickpeas and chaat masala. One of India's most beloved street snacks executed with fresh ingredients and consistent heat. Order a round as your opener.

South Indian classic

Masala Dosa

A perfectly crisped rice-lentil crepe filled with golden spiced potato, served with sambar and fresh coconut chutney. An essential order for the dosa section — or go for the Ghee Roast if you want maximum crunch.

Curry comfort

Butter Chicken or Dal Makhani

Both are North Indian classics done well. Butter Chicken delivers a rich tomato-cream sauce ideal with Butter Naan. Dal Makhani — slow-simmered black lentils with cream — is one of the best vegetarian mains on the menu.

Dessert finish

Gulab Jamun or Shahi Tukda

Gulab Jamun (₹100) is the classic crowd-pleaser — soft milk-solid balls in rose syrup. For something richer, Shahi Tukda's fried bread soaked in condensed milk with rabri is an indulgent Mughlai finish to your meal.

Drinks pairing

Mango Lassi or Masala Chai

A chilled Mango Lassi (₹100) alongside a biryani is a classic Indian pairing that cools down the spice. For post-meal, a spiced Masala Chai (₹60) rounds out the experience the way any great Indian meal should end.

The biryani menu

Manam's biryanis — the reason to visit

Manam built its reputation on the dum pukht tradition: rice and protein are layered in a sealed vessel and slow-cooked so steam and aromatics cannot escape. The result is fragrant, moist rice with deeply spiced meat throughout — not stirred together, but in distinct layers.

The Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani (₹320) is the entry point and best-seller. Mutton (₹420) is richer and more complex with longer cook time. Prawn (₹380) cooks faster and yields a lighter, coastal flavour. Vegetable Biryani (₹240) replaces meat with seasonal vegetables and paneer.

Biryanis are typically served with raita (chilled yogurt) and a side of salan (thin curry). The combination is complete without ordering extra sides, though a naan alongside is a popular choice.

  • Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani — ₹320 · the original
  • Mutton Biryani — ₹420 · richest option
  • Prawn Biryani — ₹380 · coastal-style
  • Vegetable Biryani — ₹240 · vegetarian
  • Egg Biryani — ₹260 · a lighter alternative
South Indian favourites

Dosas, idlis and the South Indian section

Manam's South Indian section anchors the menu alongside biryanis, reflecting the chain's Hyderabad roots. All items are vegetarian.

₹180

Masala Dosa

The standard by which Manam's South Indian section is judged. Crispy exterior, warm spiced potato filling, served with sambar and two chutneys. The benchmark version of the dish.

₹200

Ghee Roast Dosa

The same thin rice crepe but roasted in ghee until the surface is deeply golden and glass-crisp. No filling — the dosa itself is the attraction. Best paired with coconut chutney.

₹160 · Andhra specialty

Pesarattu

A green moong dal crepe unique to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana — naturally protein-rich, slightly earthy, and lighter than a rice dosa. A Manam nod to its Hyderabad roots that you should try.

₹140 · Vegan

Idli Sambar

Two or three steamed rice-lentil cakes served with lentil sambar and coconut chutney. Soft, light and easily digestible — the classic South Indian breakfast that works at any hour.

₹80 · Vegan

Vada

Crispy fried lentil doughnuts with a crunchy exterior and fluffy interior, served hot with sambar and chutney. The cheapest item in the South Indian section and a consistent crowd-pleaser.

About Manam

India's go-to casual dining destination for home-style Indian food.

Manam was founded in Hyderabad around 2014 with a clear mission: to present authentic Indian comfort food — the kind of cooking associated with home kitchens, street corners, and regional dhabas — in a clean, casual restaurant setting accessible to families, young professionals, and food lovers of all backgrounds.

The name itself is a nod to Telugu culture (Manam means "we" in Telugu), anchoring the restaurant firmly in its Hyderabadi identity even as it expanded to other major cities. The biryani — prepared using traditional dum methods — has remained the cornerstone of the brand through every stage of growth.

Today Manam operates outlets across Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and other cities, making it one of the most recognisable Indian casual dining brands in the country. Each outlet maintains a consistent menu of chaats, dosas, biryanis, curries, breads and desserts.

Manam is best known for its Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani — a dum-cooked layered biryani that has become the restaurant's signature dish — and its wide spread of Indian street food.

The Dosas & South Indian section is entirely vegetarian. Vegetarian mains include Dal Makhani, Paneer Butter Masala, and Vegetable Biryani, and all breads are vegetarian. Vegan guests can enjoy several items — just confirm preparation methods at the specific outlet.

What is the best biryani at Manam?

The Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani (₹320) is widely considered Manam's signature and best-selling biryani. It is prepared dum-style — the rice and spiced chicken are layered and sealed, then slow-cooked so the flavors meld together. The Mutton Biryani (₹420) is a close second for meat lovers, while the Prawn Biryani (₹380) is popular at coastal-style outlets. The Vegetable Biryani (₹240) is the top choice for vegetarians.

Does Manam serve Hyderabadi food?

Yes. Manam was founded in Hyderabad and Hyderabadi cuisine is at the heart of the menu. The Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani is the flagship dish, prepared using the traditional dum pukht method. Other Hyderabadi-inspired items include Mutton Biryani, Pesarattu (an Andhra specialty), and the spiced kebab selection. The menu also draws from other regional Indian cuisines — South Indian dosas and idlis, North Indian curries and naans — making it a broad Indian casual dining experience with Hyderabad at its core.

Is Manam good for families?

Manam is an excellent family dining option. The casual, vibrant setting is welcoming for all ages. The menu spans chaats and street food that appeal to children, hearty biryanis and curries for adults, a wide selection of vegetarian dishes for mixed dietary needs, and Indian desserts and drinks that round out a complete family meal. The mid-range pricing (most mains ₹220–₹420) makes a full family dinner accessible without feeling like a splurge.
