Over the Moon Brew Co. — Restaurant in Hyderabad

This place gives you the ultimate old vibes. A Jaali pattern goes all around and white being the only colour used throughout along with some shades and dim warm lighting to create an amazing classical ambiance. The food is quite good, some very nice options to choose from and very tasty, along with a decent range of mocktails as well. Over the Moon is one of the finest restaurants in town to have either your dinner at, or just enjoy some fun time with friends. Here's my experience of the place when I visited it for a Friday night dinner with a few friends.

We started off with Bowl of 65 and Peri Peri Chicken Wings. 65 was quite spicy, but the Peri Peri Chicken was very plain. Both of their tastes were good. Next we had Wasabi Prawns. This dish is a crispy fried prawn coated with a strong Wasabi Mayo. It had a strong flavour that some might not like, but I dig it. I like Wasabi.

Then we had their Peri Peri Seafood Basket, which is a mix of prawns and squid with some very tangy flavours. It was a first of its kind dish that I had and it was quite good. I enjoyed it! Greek Souvlaki was the next item we ordered, along with the Mughlai Chicken Roll. Souvlaki is an Arabian dish that we couldn't resist to try once we saw it in the menu. It was perfectly Arabian in its taste and made remember my time in the Kingdom. The pita bread served along with it was also very nice, and so were the authentic sauces. It made me nostalgic.

Before moving onto the main course and just before ending our starters, we ordered mocktails. Pyasa, U & Me, Virgin Mojito, Local Mary and Oreo Milkshake. The milkshake was very plain, and the Virgin Mojito typical of it's taste. Pyasa was really nice, it was very refreshing with nice crushed orange. U & Me is a mix of strawberry, litchi, pineapple juice and vanilla ice cream. It's a romantic sort of drink and tastes incredible. Local Mary is a spicy sort of drink that has a punch to it. Every mocktail was good and really refreshed us before the main course.

We had a few dishes from the entrees - Butter Chicken with Butter Naan and Veg Pulav and Chicken Fried Rice. The Butter Chicken was absolutely creamy and delicious with the perfect taste, made only better with the Naan. It was one of the best gravies I've had. Simply scrumptious! Both the rice items were also great, with a nice balance of flavours and incredible taste.

We ended our dinner with Gulab Jamun Cheesecake and Chocolate Truffle, both luxurious desserts that were the perfect end.

We had a great time dining at Over The Moon and will surely visit again for yet another wonderful experience. A huge thanks to the great staff for a...

Please bear with the long yarn.

I feel people, who are regulars here may send a brickbat or two at me for this rating but please do bear with me while I am explaining my reasons.

I went here on International Women's Day. The ground floor seating looked good but we were promptly told we would not be allowed there (as we were all males). That was not a big deal because the ambience and seatings on one of the floors above the ground which we eventually sat on was not bad too. The eye catchy stuff was humongous beer containers installed right at the entrance of every floor. I personally liked it.

The staff was very prompt too. They did pay heed to our request and gave us a sofa side seatings which was quite generous on their part.

We then ordered a millet lager pitcher and a few mocktails and they were quite punchy.

So far so good.

Then came, the food that we had ordered along with the drinks. The chicken starters were quite good. Peri peri wings were delicious and so was tangdi kebab. But the disappointment came with gosht tikka. It wasn't prepared very well and did not taste good too.

Not to worry though because I, from my crew, had personally ordered another starter which I thought would probably be the best one of the night.

It came in glasses, half a dozen pieces. The way it was presented, it looked gorgeous. But the first bite on to it and I realised that the Peri Peri Prawns were completely devoid of Peri Peri masala/sauce. It looked like green chilli bhajji with a proper besan covering on top of the prawn but it was so bland and tasteless that it literally and immediately brought all the buzz in my mind that I had for the place, down. Was a complete shocker and I would have recommended straightaway to stay away from this place had I put out a review here at that time, such was the feeling.😒😒

The main course was okay although it was a comical relief to say the least when we ordered dal tadka, one of the staff members suggested us to take rajma instead as dal wasn't mentioned on the menu and that could take them longer than usual to prepare that. Even longer than butter chicken that we had ordered alongside in the main course! 😑😑

One from our crew had ordered Sushi which, to say the least, only had Salmon. I was expecting some other standard fishes too but never mind. To their credit, Sushi was tasty, and the Wasabi sauce with sushi was fiery, as it should be.

Overall I would say the prices were a tad on the higher side considering the taste on offer there. I could be a little modest and go out with 3 and a half but Google doesn't allow that. A half mark for the diversified food on...

My recent experience at this restaurant cum pub was nothing short of a nightmare, leaving me deeply disappointed and disheartened. As a loyal customer, I expected much better treatment, but what I received was far from satisfactory.

To provide some context, my group of three was slapped with an exorbitant entry fee of 1500 rupees, translating to 500 rupees per head. This is an unjustified imposition, especially considering that this establishment has never charged an entry fee before. It appears that they've decided to capitalize on weekends by introducing this fee, an unfortunate departure from their previous customer-friendly approach.

The audacity to charge such a fee is magnified by the fact that the quality of the place does not match the expense. While the ambience is adequate, it certainly doesn't justify the price tag. Even higher-ranked establishments offer cover charges that can be redeemed against the final bill, but here, the entry fee is essentially wasted money. This ill-conceived plan of charging a non-redeemable entry fee is nothing short of absurd.

What's more, the lack of uniqueness and creativity in the ambience further highlights the inappropriateness of this fee. Other establishments with a similar cover charge provide an experience that far surpasses what is offered here. It's a clear indication that this place is not interested in valuing its customers or enhancing their experience.

To top it off, the treatment I received when expressing my dissatisfaction was unbelievably rude. The staff and manager's unprofessional behavior underscored the establishment's disregard for customer loyalty and satisfaction. It's unfortunate that a place I used to enjoy has turned into an example of how not to treat patrons.

In light of this experience, I strongly urge anyone considering a visit to think twice. There are far better options out there that genuinely value their customers and offer an experience that justifies the expense. Don't waste your time, money, and emotions on an establishment that lacks both substance and respect.

Let my experience serve as a cautionary tale, guiding you towards a choice that aligns with your expectations and deserves...
