A new Indian fast-casual restaurant, Hyderabad Biryani & Kababs, has opened at the corner of Bellevue Way and Main Street. It is currently the only restaurant of its kind in the area.
The menu includes a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Starters range from onion samosas and chili paneer to pepper chicken and Apollo fish. Curries include vegetarian dishes like paneer butter masala and eggplant, as well as non-vegetarian options such as lamb and meatball curries.
The restaurant also serves several styles of biryani, including chicken fry and goat curry, along with Tandoori clay oven items like naan, chicken tikka kebab, and tandoori chicken. Desserts and soft drinks are also available.
The site has seen multiple restaurant tenants over the years. A Jack in the Box operated there for decades before closing in 2019. It was followed by Thai restaurant Racha Go, and later Chawla Cafe, an Indian restaurant that closed in less than a year.
The location is part of a larger redevelopment project approved by the City of Bellevue for the southeast corner of Bellevue Way SE and Main Street. Plans include a seven-story, mixed-use residential building with 376 apartments, ground-floor retail, and underground parking.
The project will feature 15,026 square feet of retail space at street level, three levels of below-grade parking with 438 stalls, and a total gross floor area of about 322,294 square feet.
The new development will replace five existing commercial buildings, including a strip mall, low-rise retail spaces, and the former Jack in the Box building—currently Hyderabad Biryani & Kababs.
