Rooftop dining and Mexican delights: Teraso, House of Prema, Mexarosa enthral Hyderabad with latest cuisine

Hyderabad: Whether you’re in the mood for an upscale rooftop experience, a diner celebrating South Indian flavours or a vibrant Mexican fiesta, Hyderabad has it all.

Here’s a look at three new hotspots in town that offer unique culinary experiences:

Teraso – Sky Bar: Sophistication with a view

Perched above Noho in Jubilee Hills, Teraso – Sky Bar offers the perfect blend of relaxation and revelry. The stunning panoramic views set the tone for an evening that transitions from laid-back lounging to a lively party as the night progresses.

The bar menu stands out with the Floradora, a salmon-hued gin-based drink infused with raspberry syrup and ginger ale. Teetotalers can enjoy the Crimson Spice Cooler, a refreshing mix of pomegranate soda, chaat masala and black salt.

Pair your drinks with popcorn tossed in spicy kaffir lime togarashi or the crispy Gyoza with its delicious fillings. For something hearty, try the Bhuna Chicken Pizza, which features a buttery puff pastry base and spicy toppings.

As the DJ kicks in and the lights come on, the space transforms into a buzzing party spot, complete with catchy house music to set the mood. Dessert lovers shouldn’t miss the Créme brûlée; its coconut-flavoured custard topped with almond flakes and berries is a must-try.

House of Prema: A celebration of South Indian flavours

House of Prema in Jubilee Hills is a serene haven surrounded by greenery, designed to coexist with nature. The restaurant is built around trees, rocks and even roots, creating a tranquil dining experience.

Focused on showcasing the diversity of South Indian cuisine, the menu takes diners on a culinary journey across the region. The Creamy Corn Thoran stood out for its texture and rich gravy, with spiced cornflakes adding crunch. Another favourite was the Mutton Uppu Kari, slow-cooked to perfection with a thick, flavourful gravy. Vegetarians can indulge in the Kerala-style Classic Vegetable Stew, a rich coconut cream-based dish traditionally served with appam.

The ambience adds to the overall experience, with nostalgic Telugu hits from the 90s playing in the background. For dessert, the Coorgi Kaapi Cheesecake is a filter coffee lover’s dream, while the Coconut Berry Pudding is a refreshing choice for brunch.

Mexarosa: Mexican flavours with a twist

Mexarosa brings the vibrancy of Mexico to Hyderabad, both in terms of décor and cuisine. The colourful, funky interiors create a lively, youthful atmosphere, with bamboo ceilings and neon-lit bars adding to the fun.

The menu kicks off with staples like Guacamole and Chips, made with a chunky blend of avocado and tomatoes, complemented by crisp chips. The Veg Chipotle Quesadilla offers a tangy, smoky flavour, while the Cheesy Cauliflower Tacos present a hearty vegetarian option.

For meat lovers, the Carnitas and Blackened Fish with Chipotle Sour Cream are not to be missed. The slow-cooked pulled pork and subtly spiced fish each bring out the flavours of their respective dishes, elevated by well-balanced accompaniments.

For dessert, Mexarosa offers a range of tempting options, including Churros, Tequila Lime Pie, and a unique Chilli Chocolate Flan. Whether you’re craving sweet, sour or spicy, these desserts wrap up your meal with a delightful finish.

Each of these new eateries brings something unique to Hyderabad’s ever-evolving dining scene, and they’re well worth checking out on your next night out.
