Regional cuisine gets the spotlight as city restaurants revisit their menus

Don’t just ask for wings. Ask for Karimnagar wings fry. And instead of regular chicken malai tikka, go for Gandikota chicken tikka. Restaurants in Hyderabad, especially those with speciality thali menus are innovative, spurred by two years of the pandemic and its many lockdowns.

Many restaurants have revisited their menus, using the time to research regional cuisines and use new recipes to reposition themselves. As a result, a significant number of relatively unknown dishes from the districts of Telangana and Andhra are in the spotlight. Abdul Kareem of Anna Native a restaurant that caters to regional cuisine with a modern presentation says, “Restaurant chefs constantly want to offer newer dishes. With a visible increase in demand for local flavours, it is always exciting to offer dishes that are new to discover, name and taste wise.”
