Hyderabad: Hyderabad’s culinary scene continues to evolve with a steady stream of new menus designed to elevate dining experiences. Whether you’re in the mood for rooftop ambience, comfort food done right or a fusion of global street eats, there’s something new to explore. Here’s a round-up of three recently launched menus that are worth your time and taste buds.

Zindagi – Sky Bar & Kitchen: Elevated Dining with a View

If ambience matters to you as much as the food on your plate, Zindagi – Sky Bar & Kitchen is likely already on your radar.

Perched high above the city’s bustle, this rooftop restaurant has built a loyal following with its mood lighting, panoramic views and breezy charm. Its latest menu refresh continues that tradition, offering new dishes that pair well with the laid-back setting.

Figaro’s Pizza: A Fresh Take on Familiar Comfort

Pizza is often the go-to comfort food, and Figaro’s at Kondapur gives it a slight makeover to suit local tastes. The new menu balances classic toppings with Indian-style sauces and spice blends, appealing to both purists and those looking for a twist.

What to try:

- Rainbow Pizza: Loaded with vegetables and a creamy garlic base instead of tomato.

- Kadhai Chicken Pizza: Infuses tikka flavours into each bite with a generous tandoori sauce.

- Keema Pizza: Spicy chicken mince, chopped green chillies and melted cheese—a fusion winner.

Though desserts were unavailable during our visit, a chilled cola helped beat the heat and spice.

Price: Rs 400 for two

Location: Kondapur

The Beer Cartel: Global Street Eats with a Local Twist

Tucked inside Hitech City’s concrete maze, The Beer Cartel’s new menu taps into India’s love for street food while throwing in some global curveballs. It’s the kind of place where vada pav meets lamb sliders, and lotus stem gets a podi makeover.

What to try:

- Fried Lotus Stem: Light, crispy and spiked with garlic podi.

- Vada Pav Sliders: Bite-sized but packed with spice and nostalgia.

- Lamb Slider: Cheesy and rich with a spicy mayo kick.
