Top 15 Rooftop Restaurants In Hyderabad To Dine With A View

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 best rooftop restaurants in Hyderabad. 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.

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 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.
