After 40 years, Indu Deluxe, 1 of Hyderabad’s fashionable restaurants located astatine Saifabad, opened its 2nd outlet successful Banjara Hills earlier this month. Traffic bottlenecks had progressively made the travel to the archetypal edifice tougher and the caller summation is being welcomed by loyalists.
Rohit Reddy, the 2nd gen proprietor of Indu Deluxe says, “It is bully to spot immoderate of our regulars travel present accompanied by their friends and children to effort the thali or the pulaos.”
Step into the Banjara Hills outlet and it is evident that this edifice is not selling a unsocial conception of decor. Nor is it trying to presumption itself excessively otherwise from the archetypal one. Rohit and his spouse Chhaya Pal designed the spot to bespeak the ethos of the genitor restaurant. Says Chhaya, “With this 2nd spot we privation to archer our clientele that we are besides astatine Banjara Hills, offering the aforesaid menu, down to the aforesaid chutney. What is astir apt missing is the showstopper omelette.”
This caller spot has 2 sections connected the aforesaid level and tin accommodate astir 80 diners. It has a caller beverage paper that includes beers, prime of prime whisky and a fewer mocktails. The seating is elemental yet comfortable, 1 that has the vibe of a household eating abstraction astatine a clip erstwhile everyone is looking to connection the vibe of Bali oregon Greece.
The woody accents and the two-tone tiling connected the level adhd an aged satellite charm.
For those who are acquainted with the aged favourites successful the menu, thing overmuch has changed. Their signature specials stay the thali, chickenhearted fry, mutton roast and the peculiar mutton curry.

The tandoori conception is simply a caller summation and Chhaya insisted that I effort immoderate of them. She ordered a information of tandoori paneer and greenish chilli chickenhearted tandoor. On a time erstwhile atom and carbs are disconnected the chart, these are perfect. The greenish chilli chickenhearted tandoor with the somewhat singed edges was a bully commencement to the meal.
After the tandoor trials, I tried the veg thali with chickenhearted fry piece, mutton curry and mutton roast arsenic accompaniments.
The thali arrived looking representation perfect. The curries had the acquainted flavours. I besides looked for the signature chutneys which was my — a non Telugu’s — instauration to roti pacchadi and atom operation successful my aboriginal days successful Hyderabad.
The serving of atom and puri are unlimited here, truthful if the sweltering vigor dissuades you from making them astatine home, caput to Indu Deluxe.
The dessert successful the thali was a moderately saccharine semiya payasam. None of the curries were oily oregon excessively spicy. The mutton curry was hard to resist, with the nutty gravy paste making it special. The boneless mutton roast was brushed and flavourful. The chickenhearted fry piece, however, did not conscionable my expectations. The pieces were connected the larger side, the masala tasted antithetic from that of the Saifabad branch. When I brought this to the announcement of Rohit and Chhaya, they assured the OG fry portion volition beryllium back.
To calm maine down, Chhaya suggested I effort the filter java crystal pick and guava chilli. Both look to person immoderate effect, and I decided to ore connected the mutton curry’s flavour and the nostalgia of the roti pacchadi.
Cost for 2 without drinks volition outgo ₹1200 (for the peculiar thali).
