Scared of stepping out of your home after lockdown? Looking for a romantic candle light dinner with your Loved one ? Want a rooftop dining experience, covered with greenery and cool breeze ? Zafraan Exotica has got it all covered. One of the oldest rooftop restaurants in Hyderabad which offers a variety of Mughlai, North Indian, and Chinese dishes on their menu.

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.

Good ambience & service given by umakanth was good and nice gesture of receiving....
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 :)

Exotica, is one such casual dining restaurant which is located in the most popular banjara hills road no.12.

We started with some deleactable starters,cooked well till perfection and we couldnt ask more for a better start.
From the appetizers, Chicken biryani,pasta, chicken curry and roti and ended up with deserts. desserts were too good.
All I could say is this place has something different but, when we visit this place in the weekdays, they keep us waiting for the table.
This makes us way more dissapointing!!

Honestly I was quite apprehensive visiting a restaurant post lockdown. However, it has been 3 long months since I stepped out so decided to give it a shot! I most say most of my fears were laid to rest. Exotica has put in separate cellophane blinders across each seating area to ensure that guests are isolated from others. Each cutlery is sanitised and kept in sealed packs. Moreover their service is completely contactless so you can rest all your fears!
The food is exquisite N I’m planning to visit Exotica again
Lovely place to have a peaceful and tasty lunch on weekdays.
I have been to this restaurant because it is owned and designed by my chief architect in banjarahills. I really loved the ambience. Roof top, water ponds, deck seating, indoor buffet section. Perfect for dates and intimate celebrations like anniversaries or romantic birthday surprises. Food haven’t surprised me much. It was ok though. But can visit the restaurant for cool, breezy delight ambience.
This vibe of this place matches the name completely exotic
The vibe is exotic to say the least and the food tastes phenomenal I had the veg Handi biryani here while on an official trip and the taste was just amazing with some mixed veg on the side it was a delightful combination the presentation was great the quantity was filling and the prices were reasonable
A fine dine experience is what I had at this place really liked the over all experience
Recommended for sure

We visited this place on a weekday evening with pre booking , as we arrived their they have arranged a pool side table .
Coming to the ambience it was eye-catching as this place is located at centre and surrounded with KBR park and cool music , roof top ambience with cool breeze was an ultimate experience for a perfect candle night dinner .We were here on a cold weekday evening and though initially sparsely populated, it got almost full by the time we left.
We went their for al la carte , So , at first we started with some cool starters - which were great !!
We had to wait for quite a long for starters and then in meantime we have ordered main course which were quite common in menu. But , mutton biryani made it up , was yummy!!
Prices are quite fair enough for the ambience and food !! staff were courteous!!
Restaurant was jam packed and Service was slow. We had to wait for starters to be served. Overall, it's been a decent experience and I would definitely want to visit it again for dinner and more preferably for their ala carte.

This is one of my favourite restaurants in town, went with my friends, had a bottle of Australian Wine, it was really good and the starters as well. Always a place to enjoy a cost dinner with friends
Must try: Dal Makhani (The best in Hyderabad) and Paneer Lababdar along with butter naan. The staff is very courteous. The ambience adds to your dining experience.
We tried vegetarian buffet which was delicious and well spread. The restaurant ambience is beautiful. Mr Kalyan served us really well throughout. We would definitely visit again.
Subhrajit was very polite n courteous.......he deserves an appreciation
Deepak was very helpful the best food good hospatility
The food was amazing and the service was very good
Especially barek and Ranjan did a very good job hosting a big get together would definitely recommend for food and service.
Service and foods are awesome.
Thanks to sukanta and joy
A eye-catching sparkling place along with a very hospitable courteous staff and delicious food. Overall a Fantabulous Experience.
Food and cocktails are must have... Deepak Sahu the bar specialist can recommend you some out of the world cocktails whic will surely give you wings🤗
All the food served was amazing in taste specially the dal makhni was one of the best i had anywhere before certainly the best in Hyderabad. The mix vegetables where good but not out of the box taste but a good taste.
The things i did not like was the price of steam rice it was too high for 350rs not at all justified when u serve curry at 450rs then to cost 350 for just steamed rice i think is too high not justified.
Also the waiter served all the naans and rotis all at once , so by the time we went on to the second serve they where cold ,dry and hard which we dii not like at all had to ask then to warm it again.
Overall very good place the ambience is superb the food is tasty just that they need manage things in more proper manner learn form other good restaurants and follow the small goods they do and seriously need to think on there pricing on certain items for sure specially the steam rice. Ordering that felt like i was in TAJ but it was just Exotica.
Deepak from the bar was a great service with all customisation!
Deepak was amazing with his cocktails especially old fashioned whiskey and plum peace Martin. A must try if u are visiting exotica . Make sure you ask for Deepak for exclusive service.. keep it up Deepak.
Beautiful place , Fantastic location. Exotic food. Thanks for your hospitality. We wish Team Exotica all the best for its grand opening @Hightech city
Excellent family lunch. We went out for brunch on Saturday. Great selection of starters and main course.
Our server Umakant was courteous and friendly. We had a great time. Highly recommended!
Biryani could be better. Service and ambience are amazing
Decent menu . Good food . Decent price.
The atmosphere and vibe is just different here. I was disappointed with the starters/appetisers but main course made it up. Also the crowd is good here. Prices are fair.
Very lovely ambience & good utilization of space.
Ramesh was very courteous & professional.
Food was good in taste as well as quantity.
Perfect Dinner Date!

The best one in Hyderabad and so far in my whole life. Just loved the place. Best rooftop experience. Located in Banjara Hills. We went for the first time and was mesmerized by the place.
The restaurant is situated on the rooftop of the building. There is an outdoor arrangement as well as an indoor arrangement. Both on the rooftop. I chose to sit in the outdoor. The ambience is amazing. Beautiful place. Beautiful decorations. Go especially during winter and in the nighttime. You will literally fall in love with the place.
The rooftop view is so good and you will enjoy a relaxing and pleasant time with your loved ones.
The staffs are really polite and well-behaved. The servicing is really good and on-time. They have both a-la-carte as well as buffet section. Try their buffet section and you will love it !! The foods are awesome in quality-wise and in quantity-wise. The hygiene is maintained well. The price is so much reasonable. The location is also in a proper place. I recommend this place to everyone. This place is like heaven and worth the money !!
one of my Favourite restaurants of all time. The first Restaurant which comes to my mind when I am planning to celebrate an occasion
Amazing and delicious food, great mocktails, super friendly staff, charming ambience!!! Perfect for family friends ❤️♥️
Amazing food with a great rooftop sitting area! Loved the desserts especially.
One of the best places to have buffet here..great variety of dishes and also satisfies your cravings..different varieties of starters for both veg and non-veg. Y'll get one complementary beer/cocktail 😉🍸
excellent quality mutton biriyani, very less options but all of them are great.. ambience is awesome. overall the price you pay is worth the hospitality, taste and great ambience. Barun was the one who served us and was great
It’s a roof top restaurant.. We went on a special occasion. Ambience is great. Best place to have a candle light dinner with your loved ones. and i did that :) They only serve lunch buffet and not dinner buffet. So it's ala Carte. The food was delicious and the staff was extremely courteous!
We ordered Lemon Coriander Soup, Murg Malai Kabab, Lehsooni Fish tikka, Amritsari Macchi, and Gosht Dum Biryani. All items are delicious and would like to visit this place for the starters again. However Gosht Dum Biryani is different here....They won't serve Hyderabadi DUM Biryani. They serve Lucknowi Biryani (Pakke Gosht ki Biryani). It was average.
Overall good exp. Will visit again !!!!!!
We were looking for a budget friendly buffet around our place. Got to know about this exotic la from a friend. Thought of visiting it and surprisingly to know we had a best buffet there in a long time.
Amazing place.... Ambience 10/10 Staff service 10/10 Food 9/10.... Mr.Dipti was quite good with his service... Being an outsider we went here randomly n it turned out to be an awesome evening... Must visit place...
Liked hospitality served by Mr. Ramesh 👍
Everything. Ambiance, food and drinks. Loved the way they service. And music tooo. Very good. And live too hang
The calm rooftop setup, with quaint decor and the soothing sound of bamboo fountains scattered across the place, is in sharp contrast with the wave of flavours that hits you when you eat the food. Nothing that I tasted let me down.
The Sunday Brunch at Exotica featured the best Chicken Tikka I've had in Hyderabad, hands down. I kept asking for more. We were in good hands, with Manmat* and Dipti* catering to our every need.
I left the restaurant wondering why I hadn't been there before, and with the certainty that I'll be back - hungry for more Chicken Tikka.
*Pardon any spelling errors.
Ambience is too good. food is good and service by pavan is excellent. Veg Starters are good. Desserts are fantastic.
starters & desserts are simply superb.
for vegetarian, so many items are there.
serving is good and ambience is awesome.
