Make The Best Of The Romantic Weather! Top 10 Rooftop Restaurants In Hyderabad

Let's start with a royal affair. A dinner reservation at The Gol Bungalow in Taj Falaknuma should be on your bucket list for the peak romantic vibes, especially during winter. With a royal welcome ferrying you to the palace in a horse carriage, showers of rose petals as you walk in and a walk around the heritage palace—a meal at the Gol Bungalow is an experience you will never forget. Sufi musicians play live music here while you dine and take in the panoramic view of the city. If you can't make it for dinner, try heading to Falaknuma for high tea during sunset. The place is as royal as it can get! 

One of the most reliable spots in Hyderabad for a good time, Exotica in Banjara Hills, has been around for over a decade and serves great Mughlai food. Dig into some butter naan with butter chicken or paneer butter masala along with seekh kebabs as the candle-lit space hosts you. If you'd like a secluded spot inside the restaurant, request for a table right next to the entrance. You get a view of the restaurant while still having your private space. The restaurant is great for family dinners and buffet lunches as well. 

This rooftop space at The Westin Mindspace serves excellent Mediterranean food, including hummus and falafel, and they carry a wide variety of drinks. We love that Casbah rarely gets crowded, so you can chill through the night here with your SO. Get yourself some cocktails, a veggie platter, and chat away! 

Fat Pigeon is great for Sunday Brunches and music scenes, but come here during early evenings and you'll see that their rooftop space is one of the most calm, romantic spots in town. Get yourself a Sangria, some finger foods like loaded nachos and watch the stars appear in the evening sky. We recommend heading to Fat Pigeon during weekdays for a relaxed time, since on the weekends it usually gets crowded. 

Love pizza and a good view? Get both at Slice'd - The Gourmet Pizza. Grab a couple of seats by their viewing deck where you get a pretty stunning view of KBR Park. Head here during sunset, and don't miss their brownies and blueberry cheesecake to finish off your pizza date! 

Not only does The Sky Kitchen offer a lovely view of the city, their Burmese khow suey is the best meal for a winter evening. In the mood for Chinese? Try their hakka noodles, egg manchurian and tandoori mushroom. You could also opt for Amritsari machchi, chicken katsu and kadhai jhinga. Their thin-crust pizzas are some of the best in Hyderabad—just try their Mediterranean or chilli pomodoro pizza. Finish off the meal with a creme brulee—date night sorted! 

The rooftop space at Stone Waters is great for date nights if you can get there before the party scene begins. Even when it does, this spot still gives you ample space for conversations. The food is great and we recommend their chilli chicken and crispy corn for starters. They also have a wide range of indulgent main course options including North Indian, Continental and Chinese food. Gobble it all up with your beers or cocktails. Head here if you'd like some upbeat music to provide a background score to your date night. 

One of the best restaurants in Hyderabad with a stunning panoramic lake view, Jewel of Nizam is another bucket-list restaurant that you should visit. While the space isn't al fresco per se, the views overlooking the sprawling Golkonda Resorts give you the same illusion. The cuisine served is Mughlai and Hyderabadi, with dishes like Haleem and Marag keeping you warm on a chilly winter night. Walk around the Golkonda Resorts' lawns before you leave—it's the perfect setting for a romantic date! 

Piping hot steamed momo and soup straight out the pot—are you drooling yet? 7 Sisters Northeast Cafe and Restaurant in Banjara Hills is one of those cosy spots in Hyderabad that makes you feel like you're at a hill station, complete with an artsy ambience. Their Khow Suey is served in an elaborate Thali-style platter complete with all accompaniments. They also have an indoor section if the outdoors get too chilly for you. Visit when you're ready to chow down some great Northeastern food with bae.
