Siaa

By -

One Alliance group who got us Fusion9,Liquids and Bottles and chimenys has come up with a radically different restaurant known as Siaa.It is an awesome place for great Indian fusion cuisine. They specialize in Pan Indian cuisine and offer the cuisine of 10 different states in India (first of a kind in Hyderabad).It is strategically located at Road No.1, Jubilee Hills and offers one of the most distinctive dining experiences. The restaurant has a four level seating with a curving staircase leading from one level to the next.You can choose to laze around in the lounge (SPOIL) or choose to be at the indoor seating level which has a persian touch.But what we preferred was the open level seating i.e there is a single wall, done up entirely in glass, and gives a breathtaking view of the city.The lighting is dim and the tables looked like they had triangular pieces of marble stuck on them with lighting below.

Due to the dim lighting a torch is also provided along with the menu for easier visibility.The USP of the restaurant is that it serves the otherwise regular Indian food with a global twist.They have out of the box combinations like okra n mango curry, lotus stem and spinach,etc etc. While the main courses are simple variations on well known dishes,the starters are quite creatively cooked.Cheese marinated chicken with caramelized pineapple ,stuffed sweet mangoes, served on bruschettas with garlic chutney, and prawns on thepla are just some of the creative items listed in the menu.We tried the Tender coconut and Prawn Rasam which was a tangy and spicy appetizer(sure to shoo away your sneezes/cold ).We tried the starter which was flat green patties with poha placed on triangular rotis .

In the main course, we tried the Kerala Parotha with Stew (which wasn't authentic enough) .The must-try-outs there have heard are Kairi Bhindi (lady fingers with sweet and sour mango), phool gucchi and dhingri biryani (a blend of lotus seeds, morels and mushrooms in basmati) and raan gongura (lamb with tangy local greens). They also have a decent dessert platter that serves an assortment of classical Indian desserts or a range of western delicacies like toasted hazelnut parfait with topped espresso cream or hilli chocolate & cointreau tart with ganache of chocolate and a dollop of honey mascarpone, just to mention some of them.

The service was excellent and prompt.Though the prices are on the higher side this place is a must try for the creative cuisine they offer.

Rating (on 5) : Food *** Ambience **** Service ****

Tiger Safari at Tadoba: Once in a lifetime experience

By -
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is one of the best places to spot the majestic big cats in their natural habitat. Located in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra, India, the reserve covers an area of 625 square kilometers and is home to around 115+ tigers, as well as leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, gaur, sambar, nilgai, and many other wildlife species. The national park is divided into 3 forest ranges: Tadoba North Range, Moharli Range and Kolsa South Range. Each of these ranges has core zones and buffer zones. The buffer zone is the area surrounding or adjoining the Core Zone where conservation takes place along with some limited human activity. We visited Tadoba in April 2024, which is considered the peak season for tiger sightings. The weather was hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 40+ degrees Celsius during the day. The forest was mostly brown and yellow, with patches of green here and there. The water sources were scarce and the animals were forced to come out of their hi...

Seychelles: An exhilarating week of beaches and trails

By -
Blessed with a spectacular topography, Seychelles is home to unique flora and fauna. The island is the only place where you can get your hands on the ‘forbidden fruit’ – the Coco de Mer which is the largest and heaviest fruit in the world. Seychelles is also one of very few destinations where you can get up close to wild, giant tortoises. The islands of Seychelles are perfectly spaced from one another, allowing you to hop your way easily. Mahe, Praslin and La Digue are less than an hour away by ferry ride, and travelers can avail of the Inter-Island Ferry Service.  You can also visit Cousin, Curieuse, St. Pierre Islands by signing up for private boat trips, as well the Saint Anne Marine National Park (from Mahe). Explore the stunning, secluded beaches, go bird watching, swim around spectacular reefs and say hello to giant tortoises; the range of activities you can try out is excellent.  We chose to travel during last week of Apr-May Before Travel International Travel Insu...

All Hearts Tour by Shreya Ghoshal: A Long Evening of Music

By -
Getting Ready The All Hearts Tour by Shreya Ghoshal, on 30th November at LB Stadium in Hyderabad was a concert to look forward to. Our first experience of a Shreya Ghoshal concert, we took a less tiring approach to travelling by metro to the concert, avoiding the traffic induced pressure, anxieties and long waits. Travel by metro was a breeze. For the concert scheduled to start at 7 PM, we reached the stadium around 6:15 PM. The stadium was a short walk from the “Assembly” metro station. At the stadium, quickly headed to the ticket counters to gather the wrist band for entry into the designated viewing areas. A gold class ticket with seating that cost Rs.2,300/ticket, was too far from the stage, though the viewing area was within the grounds and not the stadium seating (which was silver). The stadium facilities were inadequate, with temporary outdoor toilets and a limited selection of overpriced snacks (a small popcorn bowl for Rs. 200).  Concert The concert started around 40 minut...
