Fifty9 is located in Radisson Blu Marina, CP. It's a fairly big sized restaurant with buffets and a-la-carte. I went there during their recent Andhra Food Festival, named "Aromas of Andhra". It's a buffet with loads of variety of veg & non veg food in typical Andhra style. There were many options of non alcoholic beverages and starters. I tried out the Fish(Tawa Chapa) & Chicken (Menthmkoora Kodi Vepudu) in starters along with blue lagoon and lamp soup (malayi paya). The buffet had an elaborate menu, i tried the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, haleem, Pulihora Annam (Tamarind Rice) and Telangana Chapal, the fish Tikka. The food was very tasty. The south indian touch made it all the more delicious. You must note that the whole menu doesn't have a single bread piece, so you might want to order it separately. There was Khumani ka meetha (Apricot) & Elaichi flavoured Sewayi in dessert and both of them tasted very rich and flavourful. Their service was top class, as you would expect at Radisson Blu. The servers and the managers were equally helpful and polite. I will try out their Sunday Brunch buffet, the next time I am here 😊 Ambience: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5
