The staff was very understanding, but the place always has a huge crowd. It is better to book a table in advance or you will have to wait for at least 30 minutes. This place offers sheesha and some delicious starters. It was kind of expensive, but worth it.

Oh my goodness ! Best place ever. Trust me ! I don't mind going daily also :D. From the starters to the desserts! You can't just point out at anything and the management is so organized including the hospitality ! It's just so wonderful. I can never forget the tomato bruschetta and mutton minced Panini from here! Not to forget about the iced tea, amazing !

One of the fewer places where they constantly change the coal for #Shisha on their own without being said.
Besides food were actually served hot and perfect in taste. Pretty nice place to hangout, spacious too. And service is very prompt.

One of the best places in Hyderabad to have hookah. The staff is courteous and you will not have to ask someone to change the coal repeatedly.
They serve delicious starters.

Been there almost five to six times until now with friends for sheesha and it's been my favourite for a nearby rooftop spot. The chicken drumsticks here are yumm and heavenly spicy. The shakes I personally love strawberry & Chocolate. The mocktails you definitely need to give a shot are passion lemonade and Virgin Mojito (My favourite).
The place is too crowdy though but nice!!

This place servers one of the best pizzas in town and for me that's enough to go visit but let's just tell you more.
What I've had here :
1. Margherita pizza (veg) and Chicken Alfredo Pizza (nv) : The pizzas are wood fired , thin, crispy and delicious!
2.Cheese Garlic Toast : Makes for a really yummy and crispy side to go with your pizza . Must order.
3. Mocaccino Frappe : I was very dissapointed with this frappe and it tasted too milky.
4. Masala Fries : If you're a fries lover, go for it.

The ambience is part indoor and part outdoor and decent looking. Service is good. Food is worth the prices.

It is one of the oldest sheesha lounges in Hyderabad. The hookah you get here uses normal charcoals and not specialized ones. So, they will change your coals from time to time. I visited this place many times. The hookah is great. But i was moslty bowled over by the yummy chicken tikka pizza. It was absolutely delicious. The choco frappe, milkshakes are great as well. The service is a little slow as this place is normally full. I hope the service gets better.

A very cool place to hangout over a sheesha. The atmosphere is lovely if you sit outside. The hookah service was pretty good and they made it really smooth. In terms of food and drinks, we had frape and iced tea which were simple, as they should be, and best. The presentation was really good. Apart from that, tried chicken wings, which didn't disappoint.

One of the main pluses of this place is both indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Good food and staff. A big nice screen to match with the big outdoor area would have been nice :) (improving the music would do equally good :))

One of the best hookah parlours in town and also a great place to catch up with friends over a cup of coffee. I am really impressed with the waiters who are always on their toes to look after the needs of the customers. To my surprise, we never had to tell them when to replace the coal of the hookah. Such is the service.

Had sharwarma which is average :. I just loved the art which is at small room ..this place have both in and out seating .. As it was afternoon we preferred to sit inside ..

Coming to hookah is good and just love the coal they are using .. It is a natural local coal .: this way they went according to the theme!!

Ambiance are good !!

Outdoor seating is what I seek for every time I go to a place. This place has a good outdoor seating but would've been even better if there was a see-through glass overlooking the road instead of a solid brick wall which would cut us off from the beautiful view but , never mind , the food compensated this lack.
Food is good,I had ordered for Manchuria and some jalapeno poppers. Do try the burnt garlic rice -it tastes fab! My friends who had ordered for seesha said it's one of the best they had tasted.
Overall a good place to hang out with friends!

One of the best places in Hyderabad to try Shisha. The Shisha here is different than most places since they use the type of coal that lasts longer. It is also less expensive than most places. The food is good and the must tries are chicken 65 and chicken majestic. Their drinks are okay and I just order soft drinks. The place is a rooftop Shisha bar and thankfully they don't play music, which allows for people to hear each other talk. The only bummer is they close at 11-11:30 pm.

I have been to this place quite a few times now, but never have been disappointed. The food here is really good one of mu favourites is the grilled chicken and chicken paprika. It's got a very positive calm ambience, the music is good and not too loud. Service is prompt. Haven't tried anything from the beverage section so can't comment on that.

After being on my wishlist for a long time, I happened to chance upon this place due to a Google maps mix up. The ensuing experience however made up for it.
To be honest, the pictures on zomato are dated and can be a little misleading.
Although the decor is the same, the place is not well maintained. The paint was peeling off the wall at places, the tables had their paint coming off as well. The staff however was extremely prompt and well experienced.
Mainly a sheesha joint, the hookah was quickly served and my friend who had ordered it, validated that it was a really well made hookah.
We had ordered fish and chips. The fish was of good quality and prefectly crumb fried. Loved this dish and the accompanying French fries.

The place has both an indoor and outdoor section. There's a huge screen in the rooftop section that screens matches etc.

The outside section is a nice option for a breezy evening /dinner. We had also ordered for an Irish Frappe which was quite good and a Lemon Iced Tea which was too sweet for our looking.

A decent place to hang out with your friends.

I have a thing for rooftop and open-air restaurants/cafes/lounges, so I think it was a given that I had to visit HTC. Went there with a bunch of friends and sat in one of those cabanas. Honestly, I believe that sitting comfort is an important part of a good experience and I was left disappointed with the wooden benches. We ordered quite a lot and I'll review what I can recollect. My friends ordered lemon iced teas and they loved it. I ordered a tea which was good too. We later ordered a few hot chocolates, which were yumm and a pizza which was good. The ambience is good and the staff is decent. Not a place for those quiet outings.

HTC has been there for some time now. It was one of the top cafes when it opened up. Over the years with the opening up of many new places it has definitely lost it's shine. The outside seating is perfect for catching up with friends especially during late evenings.

Went there last night and by far among the other places the hookah was served like in under 5 mins. The guy who made it definitely knows a thing or two about making hookah. It was just perfect. We ordered cappuccino, paneer 65, chilli cheese garlic toast and veg alfredo pizza. Coffee was good, Paneer was ok, garlic toast tasted very good and pizza was average more like home style cooking. The dishes were reasonably priced which was good to see.

Definitely a place u would go more for the hookah than for anything else.

One of my friends suggested this place and I decided to go with it. My friends and I went here during the daytime on new year's eve to spend some time and obviously good food too. It is located on a prime location and very easy to locate. As soon as I entered, there was live music playing which is always a plus point. The ambiance gives you a chilled out sort of vibe and the staff is welcoming too. We ordered 2 starters, pizza and a pasta along with hot chocolate and coffee. We were not there for hookah, so no comments on that. Starters were good and pizza was nice too. However, pasta was more on a sweeter side which disappointed me a little. The prices are also reasonable and not too expensive. But the ambiance, live music, crowd made up for it :) Overall, would definitely recommend this to my other friends and would love to visit there again !!

I and my friend were very hungry and the most closest place to us was Hyd Times Cafe , so we landed here for FOOD and not hookah ( though it is famous for the latter one).

This place was easy to locate , it's near jubilee hills check post, just opposite blood bank . There is separate entrance for this place from behind .

The place was very pleasing and smelling all of Hookah but we weren't in mood for hookah instead wanted something to fill Up our tummy.

So we ordered veg Schezwan fried rice and chicken soft noodles along with panner chilli wet , so that it could serve as sauce or gravy for the main items .
We even ordered lemon ice tea and Black current shake to complement the food dishes .
The quantity was much more than we expected and it filled out tummy to the brim ( we were over full actually , it had some much ).
Chicken noodles was great and so was the rice dish. The chilli panner was yummy and very soft , complemented the dishes well . A good choice made by us I must say !
Black current shake was amazing and it was different ( shakes lovers do give this a try) but lemon ice tea was very average .

On the whole ,
Ambience - 4/5 ( over door preferable it hookah takers)
Hit on wallet - 3/5
Food yuminess - 4/5
Quantity - too much but too good for us 4.5/5

The service was little slow but I assume they took the time to prepare fresh food for us.
This place is known to every hookah taker but people don't try food here , I would suggest you to try food here coz it's amazing both quantity and quality wise .

Visited this place last week with my husband and brother. Heard a lot about this place from my colleagues so decided to give it a shot. First impression was good. Though I did not like the roof top seating arrangements. Those wooden benches looked nice visually but I didn't find it comfortable to seat on. May be some cushions would have worked. Anyways coming back to the food, it was delicious. Hukkah was upto the mark too. The ambience gives you a feeling of kinda old city. I liked it.
Overall experience was not bad neither it was too good. Just an average.

I went to catch up with a couple of friends and only had hookah. It lasted pretty long and I like the fact that they keep checking the coal every 15-20 mins without us calling them every time the coal is dead.
So the second time I visited I ordered
1.The onion rings.
2.The burnt garlic chicken noodles.
3.Strawberry ice tea.
4.Sweet and salt lime juice.
5.Triple chicken.
And also a new type of hookah that I've tried for the first time. Where they use a watermelon as the body of the hookah.
I was really disappointed with the food here. The chicken wasn't fresh at all it tasted old. Although it tasted better with mayo.
As it is I am not a huge fan of Chinese and the noodles here just tasted bad I couldn't really taste the garlic at all and the noodles were very very dry. The onion rings were decent probably the only thing I liked from the things that I've ordered. It was crunchy and slightly oily but tasted amazing with the mayonnaise that came with it.
The strawberry ice tea was really nice. I absolutely loved it.
The ambience here is very casual like you're sitting in someone's backyard. I.e only if you're sitting outside. They also have an indoor seating with A.C.
