Hyderabad Indian restaurant: Hyderabadi cuisine under the lanterns, in Sharjah

In Sharjah, Hyderabad Indian restaurant serves the cuisine of Hyderabad: mutton and chicken biryanis, curries, kebabs, breads and milk teas. Dineora designed a website in tones of gold and brown, lit by lanterns, that stages the big biryani pots and makes a very extensive menu readable, all the way to ordering for takeaway or delivery.

A Hyderabad table in Sharjah

Hyderabad Indian restaurant is located in Al Qulai'aah, in Sharjah. Its promise is written as soon as the site opens: “Authentic Hyderabadi cuisine”, a cuisine of Hyderabad summed up in four words, “Biryanis, curries, kebabs & more”. Biryani takes first place: mutton dum biryani, chicken dum biryani, Hyderabad-style mutton biryani, fish biryanis.

Around it, the menu stretches over about thirty sections: meat starters, snacks such as mirchi, fried chili, chicken and mutton curries such as the mutton kadai or the chicken khorma zafrani with saffron, slow-simmered mutton haleem, shami kabab, breads and naans, vegetables and rice, fish and seafood. An Arabic cuisine section offers chicken or mutton madhbi. The sweets range from qubani ka meetha, an apricot dessert, to dam ki tea made with fresh milk and malai. Several days of the week also have their own dish: bhendi gosht, mutton with okra, on Wednesday, green chicken with green masala on Thursday, ginger chicken on Sunday.

The challenge: an immense menu, a heritage to make felt

The first challenge was the menu itself. Biryanis, curries, kebabs, dishes of the day, Arabic cuisine, teas and desserts: a visitor had to find their way in a few gestures, whether looking for a mutton biryani or simply a naan to go with a curry.

The second challenge was one of atmosphere. The restaurant claims a heritage, “Taste the Royal Legacy”: the site had to evoke Hyderabad, its monuments and its lights, without taking the visitor away from the essentials, choosing dishes and placing an order, to take away or have delivered.

An art direction of gold and lanterns

The palette is warm: deep brown, gold, burgundy, with the amber glow of chiseled lanterns. The first screen cuts, within a scalloped arch, an illuminated monument with minarets, above the restaurant’s name in large golden letters. On the left, a facade lights up with a blue sign and strings of lights; on the right, a dining room with wooden tables awaits its guests. In the foreground, two biryani pots steam, one crowned with boiled eggs, surrounded by raita, curries, a naan and a plate of raw vegetables.

The headings are set in a typeface drawn from the letters of the logo, and golden handwritten notes accompany the scenes. The Order button is painted in the world of the place: a burgundy cartouche edged in gold, which stays at the top of the screen throughout the visit.

A home page in successive tableaux

The home page is explored like a series of tableaux. After the title and its lines, “Rich flavours, timeless traditions” on one side, “Taste the Royal Legacy” on the other, the set table fills the screen, framed by two handwritten phrases, “Fresh Ingredients” and “Royal Dining Experience”. A skyline of monuments drawn in golden thread carries the sentence “A True Taste of Hyderabad”.

A second tableau repeats the restaurant’s name in glowing letters, with “Traditional Flavours, Timeless Taste”, then a new table: a tray of chicken and egg biryani, a ginger meat curry, an orange pepper curry, a raita with herbs. Further down, under the Hyderabadi’z logo, the biryanis are served in metal bowls, including a hammered golden bowl garnished with cucumber and carrot.

An online menu for takeaway or delivery

The ordering page opens under the same monument, with the title “Menu & Order” in golden brush-drawn letters. The setting is a dark brown background covered with golden scrollwork, red chilies, lit lanterns and small dishes of spices. Each section sits in a cream cartouche crowned with bowls of turmeric and chili, with a title in purple capitals. A bar at the top of the screen scrolls through all the sections, from biryanis to dishes of the day.

Each dish appears with its image, its name, its price and, often, a short description. The guest adds dishes to the cart, then chooses to pick up the order at the restaurant or have it delivered.

On a phone, the same light

On a phone, the home page rearranges itself vertically: the monument and the name at the top, the lit sign and the dining room in the middle, the biryani pots at the bottom, with the Order button always visible. The ordering page stacks its cream cartouches across the full width of the screen, an ornamented menu button sits at the top right, and the cart bar, decorated with paisley patterns, stays fixed at the bottom of the screen with the number of items and the total.

A website prepared for local searches

The site is prepared for the searches people make in Sharjah: an Indian restaurant in town or nearby, a restaurant in Sharjah, a Hyderabadi biryani or a mutton biryani, fresh breads, or directly the restaurant’s name and its menu. The page title, its description, its texts and its structured data describe Hyderabad Indian restaurant, its neighborhood, its cuisine and its menu with the same words.

A detailed presentation page complements the home page, and the full menu can be read as text on the ordering page. No one can guarantee a place on Google: the work consists of giving search engines accurate, structured and consistent information.

A website for a Hyderabadi biryani restaurant in Sharjah: menu, delivery and pickup

A Hyderabadi biryani restaurant like the one in Al Qulai’aah, Sharjah, has an immense menu: mutton and chicken dum biryanis, mirchi, achari mutton, haleem, Arabic dishes, milk teas with malai, qubani ka meetha, even a Wednesday special. An Indian restaurant website has to sort all this by thumb, put the pots in the spotlight and take biryani orders for delivery or takeaway, for families and for the nearby worksites at lunchtime.

  • A site with no quote and no percentage. The restaurant pays no studio and no share on each pot ordered: biryani delivery earns it full price.
  • Ready at the speed of a dum being opened. The restaurant’s name is enough, and within minutes the menu, the images and the order page exist.
  • Gold, brown, chiseled lanterns. The scalloped arch, the lit minaret, the facade with string lights, the steaming pots: a setting composed for this Sharjah address.
  • The special of the day is replaced within the day. Friday’s haleem, Wednesday’s dish, the price of mutton: the manager edits it himself and the menu follows at once.
  • From the kitchen to the door. Orders reach the restaurant’s own kitchen, with no delivery platform or agency interposed.
  • Sharjah, Hyderabad on the plate, London in the browser. The same software runs in Nice, London, Rabat or Sydney, in each address’s own language and currency.

For an Indian restaurant in Sharjah, it is a lantern-lit room and a hot biryani, orderable from a phone.

The result: Hyderabad within reach of an order

The Hyderabad Indian restaurant website brings the visitor into a dining room lit by lanterns, in front of still-steaming biryani pots, then leads them to an orderly menu and a simple order, for takeaway or delivery. That is what Dineora seeks in every website: a setting that looks like the restaurant, and a menu that reads effortlessly.
