Roastery Coffee House : More than just a place to dine

Asmita Mukherjee | Hyderabad

Visiting Roastery Coffee House in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, on a sweltering summer evening is pure magic. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a cup of coffee and delectable accompaniments. The serene ambiance, blending colonial elegance with contemporary comfort, offers a charming escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

The exterior of Roastery Coffee House is a striking colonial-style bungalow. Inside, the ambiance is warm and inviting. Vintage furniture, soft lighting, and an eclectic mix of artwork adorn the space. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods fills the air, providing an irresistible invitation to relax and savor the moment.

The true highlight, however, is the open garden at the back. Under the canopy of ancient trees, wrought-iron tables and chairs are scattered across a verdant lawn. Fairy lights strung overhead twinkle softly, casting a magical glow as the evening progresses.

On this particular evening, our culinary journey begins with a double chocolate blend cold coffee. Served in a tall, frosted glass, the drink is visually appealing, with rich, dark coffee topped with a generous chocolate cake. The first taste is a revelation: the bitterness of the coffee perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the chocolate, creating a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and indulgent.

Next is the Narabari coffee, a lesser-known but highly recommended choice. This coffee, served in a simple glass, allows its pure essence to shine through. The first sip reveals a complex profile—with subtle hints of coconut milk and a delicate sweetness. Each sip uncovers new layers of flavor, making it a coffee that demands to be savored slowly, letting its nuances unfold.

The culinary experience is further enhanced with an array of delightful dishes. First to arrive is the fish and chips – a classic. The fish, encased in a golden, crispy batter, is tender and flaky inside, practically melting in the mouth. Accompanied by thick-cut fries that are perfectly seasoned and a tartar sauce, this dish delivers on every front, balancing textures and flavors with perfection.

Following this, the chicken wings in barbeque sauce make their entrance. Presented on a rustic wooden platter, the wings are generously coated in a smoky, sweet-and-spicy barbecue sauce. Each bite offers a delightful burst of flavor—the smokiness of the grill, the sweetness of the sauce, and the tender, juicy chicken creating a symphony of taste.

The highlight of the evening, however, is the baked chicken stuffed with mutton keema. This dish is a masterpiece of culinary artistry. The chicken, baked to perfection, is tender and juicy, with a golden-brown crust that hints at the flavors within. The mutton keema stuffing is rich and flavorful, a perfect blend of spices and finely minced meat that complements the chicken beautifully. Each bite is a medley of savory goodness, with the spices dancing on the tongue and leaving a warm, satisfying aftertaste.

The combination of excellent food, superb coffee, and the serene garden setting creates an experience that is both memorable and deeply satisfying. Roastery Coffee House is more than just a place to dine, it is a sanctuary where the flavors of the food and the charm of the setting come together to create an evening of pure delight.
