Was invited here for review for a Sunday Lunch. From the entrance itself, the place gave a very positive vibe. The Moment I entered the place I was captivated by the beauty of the place, the furnishings the artefacts everything very meticulously placed and looked beautiful. So I headed towards the first floor and as I was about to take the stairs I was held back by the beautiful bar setup, it was probably one of the most beautifully arranged bars I would have seen in Hyderabad. I stood back for a while and took a good look at the bar. After getting over the bar I headed towards the first floor again, and believe me it was looking fabulous. The lightings the seating, decor everything was just too good. Ok, so now enough of praising the place now let's dig into the food. The chef curated the menu himself and we were served following:
Mocktails: Nature's love Green queen Marito: Great orange and pineapple drink. Affair yoyo: This was my favourite drink of the day. The thickness, the chocolate everything was as per my liking. MAK
The drinks here were very well balanced and perfectly presented. Also I would like to appreciate the bar tender who maintains such a beautiful and organised bar.
Starters: Sambal Fish: Soft, moist, musy fish coated with spicy masala served with raw onions and chutney. Wasabi Prawns: Prawns in wasabi sauce served with a sweet and tangy mango salsa Paprika Chicken Tikka: This was just melt in the mouth very mild paprika lingering the taste buds, lovely dish. Cha Chay Vegetables Mac n Cheese Balls Subz Gilafi Nacho's
The dishes had a pleasant twist to it and the presentation was just on point. The skills of Chef Ahmed were clearly visible in the dishes. A dish as simple as an omelette twisted to Kari Omelette which was delectable.
Main Course: Verdure Miste Pizza Blackened Chicken Pizza Both the pizzas were cheesy and had delicious toppings.
Thai Green Curry Tawa Biryani Chicken: an Absolute delight to have, different from regular Hyderabadi biryani, there was a tad bit sweetness of onions which was giving a good aftertaste. Maa Di Dal Aloo Jeera Platter: The daal makhani was slightly different from what we get regularly and little over smoked for me Chicken in Chilli Basil: Served with sticky rice, went really well. Spaghetti Bloodymary
Desserts: Galaxy by Chef Ahmed: Ok, this dessert is served as a really huge platter. When I say huge it actually means huge. The platter has got a lot of artistry on it from different sauces and creams. There are fruit slices and chocolate pastries everywhere and in the centre, there is a sphere having a white heart inside. This was priced at Rs. 799 and was sufficient for 4-5 people. You can try ordering this when in big groups or celebrating. Churros with Chocolate Dip Pavlova
Overall, a must try place for food and ambience. Bookmark it and try it soon.

Read moreAffair at 10th Street is it's name, which is beautifully carved on a big wall in golden just outside the entrance. When you step into this place, it looks so serene and peaceful(I went on a Sunday noon), so it wasn't very crowded. Soft music, beautiful interiors and what else would you want when you head out.
Coming to the food, I am going to list out my most liked dishes at this place, first.
Fish popper- Fish served on an ice cream stick, the fish was so soft and loaded with the right amount of flavors. One of my favorite fish dishes, this has become. Veg slider & lamb slider- Platter of burgers served with french fries. Totally loved these medium sized burgers. Exotic dim sums- I just loved these, so soft and moist dim sums. these were utterly delicious. Thai chilli basil momo- It also tasted really good. Lamb chop- It was really very tender and delicious, with the right amount of gravy over it. Chicken lasagne- This was an absolute hit. I don't need to say anything about it. just one thing, go and try it out and you will love it for sure. Cashewnut roll- this is the best dessert which I have had lately. Just go for it blindly. Crunchy rolls topped with ice cream. Crispy Lotus stem- Oh, my my! I just loved these. I absolutely loved it. Lotus stem sliced into thin pieces and fried and coated with amazing sauces. Korean pot rice veg- I liked this a lot. Green rice served with veg gravy and cucumber and carrot pickles. Veg and non veg pizza- I loved both of these pizzas, thin crust pizza over loaded with cheese and topped with veg and chicken pieces respectively.
other dishes which I liked are- asian chicken pakora, assorted kebab platters, tandoori gampa, prawns ajillo, loose fried prawns, butter chicken, koila ke bhatti se, milenge pudding and water chestnuts.
One dessert I didn't like much was blueberry cheese cake. I didn't like the taste much, however communicated about this to the chefs, and very soon we can hope to see the changes.
The reason for rating this place as 4 star is mocktails, I didn't quite like it. They tasted kind of ok, nothing very outstanding like the dishes.
The staffs here are really very polite and attend every customer and take care of their requests in a proper manner.
I had an amazing experience at this place. And I would highly recommend you to check...
