Nestled within the luxurious Golkonda Resort & Spa in Gandipet, Hyderabad, Jewel of Nizam – The Minar is a spectacular fine-dining restaurant that captures the royal grandeur and culinary legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad. Towering elegantly above the serene Osman Sagar Lake, this architectural marvel — built in the form of a majestic minaret — offers 360-degree panoramic views, making it one of the most exclusive dining destinations in South India.
Inside, every detail echoes regal opulence — from the richly adorned interiors and chandeliers to the traditional cutlery and royal seating, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The restaurant’s cuisine pays tribute to authentic Hyderabadi, Mughlai, and North Indian flavors, each dish meticulously crafted using age-old recipes and premium ingredients.
The signature dishes here include the Dum Pukht Biryani, Shahi Nehari, Murgh Khubani Kebab, and the legendary Double Ka Meetha, each prepared with precision and passion. Vegetarians are equally pampered with rich Nawabi gravies, paneer delicacies, and aromatic dals. The restaurant’s set-course menus, accompanied by soothing ghazals and personalized service, turn every meal into a royal affair.
Beyond the food, Jewel of Nizam – The Minar is celebrated for its unmatched ambience, ideal for romantic dinners, business meetings, and special celebrations. The gentle breeze from the lake, coupled with candlelit elegance, offers an enchanting experience that few restaurants can rival.

a week ago⭐️⭐️ 2/5 Our experience at Jewel of Nizam – The Minar was quite underwhelming. They didn’t have a baby chair, and even the main lift wasn’t working—we had to use the service lift. The starters were a disappointment: the Kaju Malai Paneer Tikka came without salt and tasted more like a dessert, though the replaced Paneer Tikka was just okay. Biriyani was good, but the Apricot Pudding was quite bad. The only saving grace was the beautiful lawns and children’s park where we spent some quality time. Overall, not worth the hype.
