New cafés in Hyderabad blend comfort and creativity on the menu

Hyderabad: Hyderabad’s café scene is having a moment. There is an exciting wave of menus that comfort you with regional flavours while still keeping things fun and fresh. If you are planning your next coffee outing, here are three recent openings that deserve a spot on your list.

Kaaram Café

Minister Road, Vegetarian South Indian café, ₹200 onwards for two

If you believe the best days begin with good filter coffee and a plate of steaming idlis, Kaaram Café is built for you. The space is open and relaxed, with an easy view of the kitchen so you can watch every ladle of ghee go to work.

What to order

• Ghee kaaram masala dosa for that punch of spice without losing crunch

• Soft ghee-soaked idlis with a bright green chutney that lifts every bite

• Filter coffee soft serve for a cold, caffeinated dessert twist

• Sitaphal fresh fruit juice when the weather calls for a sweet pause

• Bangerpet chaat if you are stopping by after 6 pm

Why visit

The founders set out to make a place that serves familiar food with dependable quality. The result is a neighbourhood-style café rooted in Telangana comfort. No frills. Just solid South Indian staples, done right.

Brew Cow

• Barbecue wings with a sweet-spicy glaze

• Pressure cooker biryani served straight from the pot

House of Koyilaa

Madhapur, Global café menu with regional touches, Approx. ₹800 for two
