OYO 78998 Flagship The Hotel Nalanda

We got there around 10 pm on Sunday, and almost all the dishes were gone. We ordered biriyani, kabab biriyani, chicken noodles, chicken masala, naan, and paneer masala. Everything was spicy. There weren’t many staff, and water wasn’t free.

I’ve eaten here several times, and most visits the food has been good. It’s hygienic and not too expensive, though a few dishes are too spicy. There have been small mix-ups: once my parcel came without gravy, and another time I got a different biriyani. They could improve on those things and get closer to a 4 or 5 star rating.

The food was a pleasant surprise, and our son enjoyed it too. We came as a family and found the place neat and clean, with the servers taking good care of our table. They brought sulemani tea at the end as a nice gesture, although it hadn’t been available when we first asked. Definitely worth trying.

I felt uneasy about the room's security, especially for a family or women. The door lock was flimsy, the doors didn’t lock properly, and dim lighting in both the room and hallways made it feel less safe. Cleanliness was also a serious problem. There was visible dust throughout, stains on the sheets, mold in the shower, and the towels smelled unpleasant. I was deeply disappointed. Clean rooms and basic safety are things I expect from a hotel, and this place didn’t meet either standard.
