Coffee Sangam

You may not realise when you lose track as you wander from the walkway into the backyard of a countryside home for a hot filter coffee and a quick bite. Coffee Sangam, a cafe designed by Studio Vriksh, camouflages itself in the nostalgia of banana plants, mulberry, sampangi flowers and fragrant creepers, woven into a soft umbrella, transporting one to their childhood courtyards and slow afternoons. Warm stone, dark basalt, soft wood and lush plant greens blend into the cafe’s unpretentious environment. Filter coffee cups dot the communal table with its banana-leaf inlay while strangers lean into lively conversations.

PS Cheese

Sitting amidst a cheesy yellow haven, this space transports you into a sunny bliss — a celebration of light and life. Designed by The Narayan Architects, the space blends classical European character with white arched windows and doors, a checkered mustard-and-white floor and polished marble tables. The only bursts of colour aren’t on your plate but in the plush violet cushions with white polka dots, balancing the earthy palette with a hint of green.

TheySee 

The aroma gives it away and the first bite confirms it — but have you noticed the way you look at it? TheySee builds around the moment when the food is seen before it is tasted. A menu learned from private homes, team hotels and public-facing luxury contexts. Crafted by Fellow Yellow, red Levantine Italian marble anchors the bar with Italian design elements and rattan-navara seating that references Indian material culture. Matchbox installations and glass-blown lemons and chillies express an unapologetically Indian point of view in art and serve as an extension to the flavours. ‘See’, a secret nook for private dining and cocktails for people ‘in the know.’ TheySee carries a memory, a reference or a piece of somewhere into its food and cocktails. A little chaotic and immediately familiar.

Osaka 

A slice of Japan is brought in when a beloved Hyderabad bakery vacates the neighbourhood. Fellow Yellow envisioned this empty shell, inspired by the Japanese principle of nagare, to permeate every aspect of the design. The aroma of fresh ingredients and the sight of food in preparation set the tone before one moves into the refreshing alfresco dining areas. From koi fish sculptures and asian motifs to private rooms with zashiki seating and dining with a Zen Garden, every detail evokes nostalgia. Traditional kigumi, kawara roofing and breezy open-to-sky sit-outs feel like a step into Osaka, Japan.

Moai

What if you could embark on a journey to the Moai statues of Easter Island while seated in Hyderabad? Designed by Architect Vikram Singh Minhas, Moai celebrates global cuisine reimagined through a contemporary lens. Weathered grey stone walls and the elements of nature — air, water, earth, fire and moai spirit — infuse into the space, creating an experience of the legacy of the Rapa Nui people. Enjoy the culinary experience, paying homage to Hyderabad’s culinary heritage, reinvented by the play of textures, flavours and storytelling and the liquid alchemy of sensory experiences.

ED loves: Are the Moai on Easter Island? Last heard, they were in Hyderabad.

Telusa 

Being heavily influenced by the past and the present, Telusa by Fellow Yellow draws inspiration from the cultural layers of Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana. A space imbued with authentic Telugu cuisine and culture, the black Kadappa stone, Kalamkari, Ikat and gold weaves and Kakatiya architecture bring a sense of familiar village-home nostalgia in a fine-dining setting. Red accents and Kondapalli toys reinterpreted in a red hue become moments of contrast, yet grounded in memory, meaning and the local flavours that define Telusa.

Churrolto

Fellow Yellow weaves a fragment of classical European space into local routines in the neighbourhoods of Sainikpuri, adapting an existing residence. A black-and-white striped awning and signage in signature red make up the storefront, transitioning from grey stone to black and navigating a path to the inside. The space, with its lounge seating, upholstered chairs, softer furniture and a bookshelf with artefacts, recalls the warmth of a home. Familiarity sets the tone, from casual encounters to conversations after work; Churrolto has your favourite nook reserved.

NOHO

Choosing between Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Indonesian cuisines is no easy feat at NOHO. A menu of 95 dishes is complemented by 11 Silk Route-inspired cocktails and ingredients like poppy seeds, oranges, and tomatoes. Designed by Ameet Mirpuri Design Studio, the space is wrapped in a palette of brass, copper, iron and steel, punctuated by red accents. A central bar, a sushi bar and a teppanyaki counter frame the dining experience, while chandelier beams and cascading lights, copper-and-gold live kitchen panels and black chrome bar front concoct an immersive setting. At NOHO, it’s one address with countless Asian flavours to the space and the plate.

Terrai 

Designed by Sona Reddy Studio, Terrai is derived from the word terrain and links the design to the land, topography and cultural richness of Telangana. A fine dining experience that abstracts the layers of Telangana, reflecting Hyderabad’s mix of old and new in every meal. Inspired by the ikat weaving tradition, the Dokra craftsmanship and the Bathukamma festival, the spaces are crafted with natural materials like terracotta, black granite and kota, expressing the layers of Telangana’s identity. Open the bold blue entrance doorway and gaze at the vitrail glass windows, casting a playful blend into one contemporary experience.

Fireback and Barback

Finally, you don’t need a ticket to visit Bangkok — just a reservation. At The Loft in Hyderabad, Fireback and Barback bring authentic Thai cuisine and the late-night spirit of Bangkok’s Chinatown under one roof. The experience begins at Barback, where the after-dark energy creates a louder, smokier, more intimate and more nocturnal atmosphere. Beyond this lies Fireback, where Thailand’s fire-driven culinary traditions of smoky grills and fragrant curries meet vibrant flavours that balance heat, sweetness and citrus in every bite. Designed by Russell Sage Studio, the spaces reinterpret Thai culture through warm natural materials before transitioning into moody burgundy hues, soft gold accents and layered textures. As Afro rhythms take over, the ambience captures Bangkok after dark — bold, expressive and deeply social.

Roast CCX 

Step out of the noise and follow the scent of slow-brewed coffee, warm buttery pastries and velvety gelato at the Roast CCX. Accommodating seasonal menus, weekend brunches, screenings and celebrations, the space also features a patio and a space for up to 500 guests. The cafe gently shifts with the day at its bustling core, with a coffee gallery, a pastry laboratory and a chef’s table designed for more intimate experiences. Soft sandstone, sage and dusky rose tones paired with rich wood, subtle gold accents, hand-cut stone details and oak-and-velvet seating add a sense of stillness to your coffee experience, sustainably — a cafe that makes you linger long after the last sip.

Nomme

Fresh coffee beans that fly, whoosh and tumble their way through pneumatic transparent pipes into the roaster before being brewed in front of your eyes, just like in the sci-fi movies. At Nomme, it isn’t just coffee; it’s a coffee theatre. It swings between soulful mezze, wood-fired grills and Mediterranean pastries to flavours of Levantine tradition. A space transporting you into a Mediterranean narrative, warm yet modern, neither confined to fine dining nor a casual food truck — a space to eat, drink and come together.

ED loves: Mediterranean accents in every piece, from laced cold brews to pastry pairings

Mikro

Mikro is located at a desolate cul-de-sac and is poised to become a prototype for contextual urban intervention. Crafted and operated by Urban Narratives, the cafe integrates with the street’s lively, social public space. A scalable urban module, wood for warmth and a home-like feel, green Indian granite, dark grey flooring and creamy coffee walls make the space embedded in everyday urban routine. A space for a quick date, a remote start-up, an encounter or even a pit stop on the way to work; you can find yourself here seated at the cafe’s stepped seating.

Cafe Niloufer

Enjoying Irani chai alongside bun maska has transcended from a mere ritual to an emotional experience. Continuing this tradition of Hyderabad’s evolving food and tea scene since the late 1970s, Niloufer Cafe at Hitech City carries forward a legacy steeped in flavour and familiarity. From freshly baked loaves and on-the-go bites to an aromatic country-style tea room, this cafe serves it all. Earthy hues, marble surfaces adorned with teacup motifs and the aroma of freshly brewed tea coalesce the city’s cultural and historical identity.
