Short answer
The Deccan Grill menu recorded by this guide leads with chicken and mutton biryani, mutton nihari, mutton haleem, chicken mandi and butter chicken. The prices on file are catering tray prices, not plate prices, so check the restaurant for what a single portion costs.
The Deccan Grill menu in this guide is built around biryani, slow-cooked mutton dishes and a few chicken curries, and a first visit is easiest if you pick one rice dish and one curry to share. One caution comes first: every price on file is a catering tray price in up to four sizes, so none of them tells you what a single plate costs.
What does the recorded menu actually cover?
The restaurant in Irving, Texas serves Hyderabadi, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi food, according to its official website. This guide could not read the restaurant’s own dine-in or pickup menu, because the ordering page showed an error on 11 November 2026. What it holds instead is the official catering menu, which lists a very large range of dishes in tray sizes.
That means the dishes are real, but the prices are for feeding a group. For a single meal, use the official website, deccan-grill.com, or call (972) 594-1999.
Which rice dishes should you start with?
Rice dishes sit at the top of the recorded menu, and they are the safest first order for a group.
- Chicken Biryani: catering tray, from $37 for the shallow size up to $135 for the large.
- Mutton Biryani: catering tray, from $47 shallow up to $190 large.
- Chicken Mandi: catering tray, from $40 shallow up to $150 large. Mandi is a Yemeni-style dish of meat over spiced rice that Hyderabad has adopted.
- Veg Biryani: catering tray, from $35 shallow up to $125 large, for anyone avoiding meat.
Prices were read on 11 November 2026. Biryani is usually eaten with a side of raita or a spicy gravy, so ask what comes with it.
Which curries and stews are worth trying?
Two dishes stand out because they are specialties of Hyderabad and the wider Deccan region rather than everyday restaurant curries.
- Mutton Nihari: a slow-cooked stew, catering tray from $65 shallow up to $225 large.
- Mutton Haleem: a thick stew of meat and ground wheat, catering tray from $50 shallow up to $185 large.
For something milder and more familiar, the menu also lists Butter Chicken, catering tray from $45 shallow up to $175 large. Chicken Curry and Chicken Karahi are the lowest-priced chicken curries on the list, from $35 shallow.

All figures are catering tray prices from the official catering page, read on 11 November 2026. How many people each tray feeds is not stated on that page.
What about starters, sweets and sides?
The recorded menu also lists starters such as Chicken 65, Chicken Majestic and Apollo Fish, samosas sold by the piece, and a long dessert list that includes Double Ka Meetha and Qubani Ka Meetha. Hyderabadi side dishes such as Mirchi Ka Saalan, Bagaray Baigan and Dahi Ki Chutney appear in the vegetarian section.
Samosas are priced per piece on the catering menu, for example Chicken Samosa at $2 per piece. The full list, with every size, is on the menu page.
What should you check before you go?
- Hours: the official site and Google Maps agree on 11:30 AM to 11 PM Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and 11:30 AM to 12 AM on Friday and Saturday. Zabihah shows shorter hours, so call before a late visit. See hours and location.
- Halal: the official website says the food is 100% Zabiha Halal. Ask staff if you need to be sure.
- Single-portion prices: not recorded here. The restaurant or its pickup ordering page is the source.
- Spice level and allergens: the menu on file has no descriptions, so ask the restaurant.
