Featuring : Talwar-e-Tandoori Murg (Rs. 525/-) : 5/5
~ This Tandoori murgh served on a sword shaped skewer stand, the chicken was well marinated, perfectly tender, juicy and luscious in taste. It can be eaten as a starter or appetizer, or as a main course. The presentation wooed me totally and the taste was on par with it.

AMBIENCE : 5/5
~ This is by far the best rooftop experience I’ve ever had. Every element in this place worked so well together. The seating, the fresh and beautiful plants, the candle lit tables, dim lighting, small pond with fishes, the sound of running water, wooden flooring, Buddha statue near the entrance which gave a calming feel all these amounted to a beautiful setup. It just feels like a short spanned getaway to a green lush garden, it had a good positive vibe to it. They’ve got both indoor and outdoor seating and the terrace seating is the best I must say. It's a pretty good location for both lunch and dinner, but it's especially mesmerizing after 7 in the night.

Pricing : 4/5
~ The food was slightly overpriced but the ambience and safety measures taken makes up for it. The pricing to me felt a little over the top but for the ambience and the food and the service they provide paying so much felt natural. But I would not call it a budget friendly place. All in all it’s a classy place you’d wanna take someone you’d like to impress and trust me they’d be.

Safety measures : 5/5
~ They’ve got UV Sanitized crockery safely packed, entrance have a mandatory hand hygiene (sanitizer dispenser), Seating arrangement made in such a way that adequate social distancing is maintained, staff wear masks and contactless serving, tables are sanitized before and after a customer visit. Hands down one of the best in the town in following all the safety measures.

Service : 4.5/5
~ The person who served us was very kind and friendly and was maintaining adequate social distancing even while taking the order and I also noticed him sanitizing his hands before and after taking the order and serving the dishes.

All in all one of the best rooftop restaurants in Hyderabad offering great food, utmost precautionary measures, amazing service with an equally great ambience. Go check this place out, don't forget to try their Roti pe boti, Talwar-e-tandoori Murgh and Pan Mojito which are most popular out here.

Beautiful place and perfect for a date! :)

Located in Banjara hills Exotica hosts one of the best rooftop dining and my experience here was amazing. The best thing that made me fall in love with the place even more apart from food is, their staff, they are just some of the most amazing and professional people I've seen.

The food was very tasteful and the rooftop dining just made it even more special. The best time to visit the place is post 7 to enjoy the silence and amazing view from the roof while having food making the perfect place for a date.

Do visit the place for a blissful experience :)
