So where do i start from? From the Thrilling experience or the Beautiful message or the Great food.
I'll just reflect on the way it just happened.
A friend of mine wanted to try it out for quite some time now and we decided to give it a shot when i visited Hyderabad.
So we began by booking a veg and a non veg meal at the restaurant still not knowing what it had to offer us apart from the food, although we thought we'd be blind folded and would be asked to identify the dish just by tasting it, bleh it's just mediocre!
Blimey! It was pitch dark, so dark that one wouldn't know if their eyes are actually open or not, right from the moment we stepped onto the actual dining area, ofcourse we were guided by the incredibly supportive staff!
Food was served in that Night King kinda darkness ;) that consisted of a starter ( non veg- Chicken kebab, veg- paneer manchurian) roti, chicken/ veg curry, daal, veggie salad, chicken/ veg dum Biryani in 5 different compartments on the same plate and a dessert to end with. It was an above the decent meal. One of the best part of this experience is that, one could get really messy and enjoy the meal to the fullest ( TBH, all of us wanna do it the messier way )
For me that was a thrilling experience to dine in the absolute darkness but my friend was really anxious throughout and we heard people from other table say and i quote " i wouldn't want to go back to the real world", now you know how serious i was about the darkness.
So what's the catch?
Well, i would just love to detail every minute things here but then i don't wanna be the spoiler!
Dialogue in the Dark, bravo!!
Fixed Menu @ Dialogue in the Dark, Hitech City, Hyderabad
Taste - 4, Quantity - 4, Quality - 4, Hygiene - 4, Service - 4, Ambiance - 5, Price - Expensive
Verdict - Must Eat This
This is one hell of a lifetime experience. If you can, you must go. The food is not the highlight here but the concept is. The restaurant is pitch dark and you cannot see anything in the restaurant (yeah! not even your food). You are guided by a guide and made seated. Now and onwards you can just 'feel' everything rather than 'seeing'. You get to read a page out the book of life of visually impaired people.
The food is a simple fixed menu including kebabs, roti, curries, biryani & dessert. You are detailed about every item in the menu so that 'all' your senses can enjoy the food except the sight.
P.S. - The surprise behind how the staff can guide you in the pitch dark where you can't even see may blow your mind!

It was really a different kind of experience. Dining in pitch-black ambience is a totally different concept. Serving staff is also so polite. Food was also good. Food is served in five compartment plate.6 course meal is served.We opted for veg meal option. Five compartment plate had biryani,2 tawa rotis,rasam,raita,dum aloo,paneer tikka and salad. Shahi tukda was served as dessert.Believe me I got to know the items after tasting them in the dark as its always a surprise menu. Only suggestion is that they can improve the number of items in the buffet as compared to the price, its on bit higher side. But overall a nice experience and a must visit place.You will experience how visually challenged persons manage each and every daily life tasks..
