Bites N Flavors – Journey 1853, Hyderabad, India

For posts on various restaurants that I visited, go here.

Prologue: May 10th is National Small Business Day. One of those are these cute little mom and pop restaurants or locally owned cafes and dive-ins. This series brings forth those little nuggets of places that I visit for my meals.

This is an ode to Sahib, Sindh and Sultan – the three locomotives that became Asia’s first rail in Mumbai in 1853. And aptly we get to see one carriage, a Pullman style carriage, in its full glory including antique lamps and wonderful woodwork that serves as a dining area now. All the carriage is on rails and resides inside the restaurant.

Verdictum:  Although the ambience was royal like, we didn’t feel royal as the food that we ordered ran out. In fact a few menu items we had to change. Otherwise the food was delicious with a location fit for a photographer’s dream.

Here are my 2 cents:

First Impressions:

Splendid ambience that takes you back to the 1850s.

Delicious food and varieties of mocktails. However, they ran out of a few menu items we ordered. Which was surprising.

Decently priced and courteous staff.

An interesting place where we celebrated my nephew’s birthday.

Amelioration:

Running out of a few menu items was not appealing.
