Diners may choose between a single meal or the entire experience, with reservations made only through Zomato’s District platform. Although it provides all-day breakfast dishes like Turkish eggs and bread with omelette and smashed hash browns, as well as pastas and a unique pizza menu with toppings such as butter garlic prawn, the omakase is where it really shines.

Cin Cin, Godrej GCR

The 110-seat facility is reminiscent of a traditional trattoria—lively, unpretentious, and designed for everything from short lunches to extended feasts. The cuisine focuses on the basics: Tajarin pasta from Piedmont, Neapolitan-style pizzas with San Marzano tomatoes, and classics like pannacotta. The bar leans toward aperitivo with spritzes and simple, refreshing pours, while the all-day Cincineria serves coffee, small nibbles and bakes.

Bengaluru

Oye Kake, MG Road

The Mumbai-based vegetarian Amritsari brand, established by Pankaj Gupta and Avinash Gupta, focuses on regional authenticity rather than menu innovation. Oye Kake's menu is based primarily on a vegetarian Amritsari identity, drawing inspiration from three traditional spaces of food and its consumption—langar, street food, and home cooking. Amritsari-trained Ustaads oversee the culinary operations, which focus on tandoor-based preparation, manual techniques, and traditional cookware like clay and iron.

Nōdo, located in Andheri, aims to make Japanese cuisine accessible to everyone. This ramen and donburi restaurant is ideal for weekday lunches or fast single dinners. The restaurant is small, there are no reservations or formalities, the menu is brief and straightforward, and the setting reflects the speed of the meal. The bowls take centre stage, with tonkotsu ramen in rich broths, lighter shoyu and miso selections, and donburi with rice and slow-cooked meats. Small meals include karaage, miso-butter corn ribs and cucumber salad are also offered. Notably, none of the recipes has been modified to suit the Indian palate.

Hyderabad

TheySee, Jubilee Hills

Every feature, from the colour scheme and stone textures to the artwork and landscaping, has been meticulously planned in this space. There are subtle details influenced by Raja Ravi Varma's paintings, with a modern twist, such as a statue of a lady clutching a guitar. At the entryway, matchbox-style installations serve as photo opportunities, nearly inviting you to stop and take a picture. The bar leans experimental, with gongura dust and white chocolate appearing in drinks. You get to taste Nazar Na Lagey, a sweet, crisp combination of pineapple, coconut, and basil, followed by Brew Code, a coffee-forward drink made with vodka and orange cold brew that felt both balanced and familiar. The food, like the environment, challenges memory and identity. Ingredient-forward and authentically Indian, viewed via a modern lens—their tagline says it all: desi cheezein, videsi nazariye se (Indian goods, foreign viewpoints). The restaurant has a dish called Bugs Bunny as a vegetarian starter made with carrots dusted with tandoori masala, playful and unexpected, while Oh So Corny follows on the menu. What sounds like a riff on loose corn turns into a chaat-style dish, a clever take on a cornflakes mixture, layered with textures, where corn appears in more ways than one. Among the non-vegetarian starters, Anda Currypatta earns its place — a Hyderabadi khagina rebuilt as dumplings, the tomato and curry leaf base doing quiet, confident work. Pankh Rock is the table's showoff: wings loaded with minced meat, rich and unrestrained. The Not So Chilli Cheese Toast is a light-hearted tribute to Hyderabad, mediated through chef Suryansh Singh Kanwar's interpretation of shahi tukda. It combines white chocolate rabdi with bread soaked in a tres leches-style sauce and finished with nutty brunoise cheese. What starts as a bar snack ends up as dessert; think of it as a more decadent, textured cousin to sandesh.

Timing: 12 PM - 3 PM and 7 PM - 11 PM
