Three decades
on Nalgonda Road.
Beside the Government Hospital on the Malakpet – Nalgonda cross, Sohail has been the neighbourhood's big, loud, family-friendly fine-dining room — AC banquet upstairs, busy ground-floor service, and a menu that runs well past midnight.
The brief is simple: Hyderabadi biryani the right way, Mughlai with the fire on, Chinese for the table in between — and the sweets that follow. Kunafa, umm ali, qubani ka meetha, fruit salad.
Listed across Zomato, District, Swiggy Dineout and magicpin at a single Malakpet address (Shop 16-8-1/4 / 16-8-992, Ground & First Floor), with no standalone official website — only listings. The cuisines are consistently tagged North Indian, Mughlai, Kebab, Chinese, Beverages, Desserts. Diners tag it for great buffet spread, ample seating, family crowd and good quantity.
