Five Years later, Hyderabad had transformed into a city, Since I had last visited for an event in 2019.
Flyovers, so much of construction happening.
And a Metro too! This city felt like another city altogether.
The huge spaces of cafes, Restaurants the long wait In Queues. Was this Hyderabad?
The Knowledge City, A landmark that Housed offices, Restaurants and a Cafe was like What BKC is to Mumbai!
Hi-Tech City and Gochibawli landmarks were like the Magarpata township of Pune.
The Jubilee Hill cafes and restaurants were like the Indiranagar and Koramangala of Bangalore or Koregoapark of Pune.
And this was just one side of the city I had visited.
The retail showrooms were huge, and like how Linking Road Mumbai has standalone stores the Hyderabad city too had them with luxury brands on the main road.
Katha cafe felt like Subko in so many ways font, Styling of the space and branding too.
The cafes Toops & Katha two of the ones I visited had Corridor Seven coffee being served, A coffee roaster from Nagpur, Mithilesh V and One of the first Aeropress championship winners from India started this.
Surprisingly Hyderabad had more vegetarian food options, compared to my last visit.
Manam Chocolate Kharkhana. Was an experience. A Chocolate Cafe, Store and Chocolate Factory Experience in Hyderabad.
You could taste all the chocolates Bars, ice cream, Chocolate flakes and Barks, Hot chocolate too, A complete chocolate Paradise.
The Hyderabad we know as Charminar, Ramoji Film City and Golconda Fort felt very long from the side we were stationed in Hyderabad.
The Taj Hotel Falaknuma too was another side. Hyderabad city had become a huge city from what I had travelled to the last time.
Hyderabad is surely a city to watch out for!
In India.
