Love The Hussain Sagar Vibe? Check Out These Top 7 Restaurants Around The Area
By The Bay
A swanky bar overlooking the lake? Oh, yes! By The Bay is an adda for many locals for good drinks, great food and fantastic views. Reach there in the evening to catch the sunset and watch Necklace Road get lit up. They have a standard bar menu with pizza, fish and chips, pasta, grills, kebabs, and wings. Expect good North Indian, regional dishes and continental delicacies. Wash that off with beers of your choice or zesty cocktails. The bill won’t come up as a bomb.
Must Try: Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Spicy Korean Chicken Wings, Sangria Swirled Margarita, and Bahaman Ice Tea.

Aqua The Park
This is an out-and-out party place to get your groove on. Aqua has been the happy place for partygoers for a decade now, and the place still holds its post. Chill on the poolside and order a bucket of beers with your pal, and you won’t realize how the hours will pass by. Coming to food, they have everything from finger food to proper meals.

Lake District Bar & Kitchen
Lake District is another hot spot around Hussain Sagar to let loose. It’s tastefully done up with plush wooden decor and jazzy lights —the vibe is lit. On a day that’s nice and breezy, you should choose the outdoor seating that directly overlooks the lake. We’ve been here a couple of times to vouch for their food and drinks. They have quite a few options for food —Chinese, North Indian, and regional dishes are what we usually go for. While the food might not be exceptional for us, the overall vibe makes up for it.
Must Try: Hakka Style Lotus Stem, Pizza Pockets, Buffalo Wings, and a bucket of beers.
Price For Two: INR 1,300 (approx.)
Altitude - Hyderabad Marriott
In the mood for fine dining? You cannot go wrong with Altitude in Marriott. The view is breathtaking, and the city landscape is picture-perfect. Sit comfortably on plush couches and raise a glass to your celebration. They have amazing North Indian food, bar bites and strong cocktails and spirits that we keep coming back for.

Ohri's Gufaa
A cave-themed restaurant? Yup, that’s Ohri's Gufaa, a family favourite for more than a decade. Ohri's is known for great food and hospitality and adding a quirky theme to that is a formula for gold. The whole place is dimly lit like a cave with mashaals on the walls and faint music. We’ve been going here for one of Hyderabad’s best Mughlai cuisines paired with refreshing drinks. Fun fact: your order of kebabs here will be served on a sword.
Must Try: Cheese & Veg Kurkure, Talwar Kebab, Smoked Palak Panner, Turkmenistan Murgh and Ohris 75, their signature cocktail.
Price For Two: INR 1,500 (approx.)
