Tansen — Restaurant in Hyderabad

Fine Dining, as the name suggests comprises of food, service & atmosphere, all of these components are offered to the patrons to the finest level. It particularly has a strong focus on quality ingredients, presentation, and immaculate service. Moreover, this particular segment is growing at a healthy rate in Hyderabad city as well. Ohris is one such renowned chain that boasts of the top theme-based restaurants & hotels in Hyderabad, the culinary legacy for which was laid down by Ravi Ohri in the year of 2000. Ohri's is now two decades old & still staying strong in the foodservice industry. Be it 100 Degrees, 1857, 70MM, Ohri’s Boulder Hills, De Thali, Cafe Loop, Chowpatti, or for that matter any of Ohri’s other restaurants, all of them offer a sumptuous fine dining experience with some theme associated with it. Ohri's Tansen is one such theme-based fine dining restaurant where food united with Sufi & art. Tansen is all about providing the patrons a royal grandeur dining experience. As you enter, there is a pathway with huge pillars on both sides that leads you to the seating area. Moreover, there is a special place for musicians who sing ghazals. Even the service staff at Tansen are dressed like khansamah of courts in the earlier dynasties. Ohris Tansen is located in the Ohris Jalavihar campus on the Necklace road with close proximity to Khairatabad MMTS. We happened to visit this place for lunch on a weekday and this being my first visit to Tansen, I was totally excited and looking forward to having a great experience. The entire dining experience started from the moment we entered the premises of Tansen thereby transporting them back in time of Maharajas. We started off the fare with 'Marag' which is a yogurt-based Hyderabadi lamb soup, served with bread was the right start we were looking for, the lamb chunks were tender, succulent and almost fell apart. Moreover, ghee and cream gave the rich and fragrantly flavorful taste. From the appetizers, we got Dahi ke Kebab, Veg Cheese Kurkure, Lahori Murg Tikka; dahi ke kebab was deep fried pieces stuffed with hung curd & paneer which is surely a popular pick. A few more to add up were Jhinga E Tinka, Dum Machi Patrawali, Mutton Shikampuri & Paneer Dum Roll, clearly, Mutton shikampuri swept the show as the tender mashed mutton pieces completed got mixed when consumed. Even the paneer dum roll which had shallow-fried rolled paneer stuffed with veggies and cheese tasted really good and is another recommended pick from the menu here. Dum Patravali Machi had steamed fish Wrapped in banana leaf tasted really good as well. Moving onto the mains, we got Mahi Kaliya, Behmati Murg, Jhinga lebabdar & Mutton Rogan Josh, the rogan josh was tasted really apt in terms of flavors & texture, well-balanced going well with assorted varieties of bread from 'Roti ki Tokri'. Even the Jhinga Lebabdar tasted really nice as it was a creamy rich prawn’s preparation, sautéed in rich tomato gravy. Winding up the fare with desserts, we got Phirni, Baked Gulab Jamun & Jauzi Halwa; clearly, Jauzi Halwa was the winner amongst the desserts as all the components like milk, ghee, sugar, saffron, jauzi were clearly distinct & is surely a recommended dessert from the menu here at Tansen. Overall, Tansen is a place wherein one can experience the amalgamation of perfectly cooked Mughlai cuisine clubbed with dazzling lights, with an ambiance that will surely...

For all my posh &rich friends,I have got a nice place for you to dine like a king. The theme built here was much close to mughal's dining area. They just made it to the perfection. Their only vision is to make feel the customer happy and to provide utmost quality of food and service. And the place and set up looks royal with those corridors,columns,bronze glasses and a small pond while entering it. That was totally a jaw-dropping experience for me when I was at the entrance.

Basically, this is a fine dine-in place which has got the best ambiance when compared to other restaurants till date. You can enjoy with your family ,you can have a get together party with friends and what not. They are serving drinks and the food (North Indian and mughlai cuisine) . This place just located beside Hussain sagar . It has got ample space for parking as well. . We started off with the drinks, Orange chatpata was refreshing ,but jaljeera in it dominated more than the orange. But,the Ohri's delight drink...I must say the best Mocktail you can get there. It is infused with pomegranate flavors which is such a delight.😅 . Sunehri Khasta veg which are veg rolls filled with spinach,tomatoes and shaped in cylindrical. This melted in seconds after keeping in my mouth. Dahi ke kebab which is another attractive vegetarian option available here. These are very crisp and filled with vegetables and hung curd in it. . shikampuri kebab is soft to handle which is totally made of minced mutton . Aroma of it totally reminded me of haleem. The quality and the taste of it was extremely good. One of the best item I can recommend for all the mutton lovers to try it. Lehsuni makhani prawns were creamy and tasty . They were also loaded with veggies like capsicum and tomatoes. Nimbu chicken is a much preferred item and the best to have along with drinks like vodka,whiskey etc..; In this item,lemon is applied to it which bought soury taste to it . But the chicken has got ample amount of spice levels in it. . And in the main course ,there were parathas,kulchas and garlic butter naans which impressed me a lot with the taste and the texture of it. In the curries,I have tried saoji gosht in which meat is too hard to cut it into pieces and the masala was creamy. Double seena masala was not spicy enough . And the final one is zartani kofta which is topped with cheese. It was a whole new experience for me to taste kofta which is quite different when compared with the taste of home made kofta. . And the best part is here..!! Yes,it's about desserts. Even,after having these kind of starters & main course, I will definitely have some space left for desserts. Baked gulab jamun was perfect in taste and comes along with rabdi which brings some more creaminess to it. Malpua with rabdi is also soft and tasty as well. . Coming to the service, Everyone knows that Ohri's is not only famous for their food but also loyal to their customers . Mr.anand has taken care of everything about the dinner. He made sure that every item came in time and he didn't even hesitate to tell the name of every dish. And the chef also described about the process of desserts and importance of it in the cuisine. Overall,that was a fantastic experience to me. . Thank you,Ohri's tansen. . Regards,...

Dropped to one star on second visit on April 13th Like I said Tansen is my favorite place to bring in family. After my first visit to the new location I was excited to come back within 5 days and brought newly wedded couple as guests. Since I got to the table, service went downhill because of Nandini(Captain), she couldn’t speak english or understand well and wouldn’t talk in Telugu when we tried which I was told by a different staff that she is comfortable with than English. Nandini couldn’t manage the rush hour, was struggling hard and miserably failed in hosting her guests well not just my table. 15-20 mins before she came to get the initial order for drinks and Appetizers, came in with chutneys which isn’t necessary to mention but she got the crisps to go with it after we finished half of our meal probably an hour after we were seated. Water was ordered, never brought in. Drinks came with no straws, then came food. We started our meal trying to be patient but had nothing to drink until I asked. As water was poured, I had a dead fly in my glass, staff didn’t notice until I mentioned. They changed the glass and dumped the water but made sure to charge me for the water that was wasted. We were there for good 30minutes after we finished our initial order and Nandini never came back to ask for what we needed next. I called for manager Gajendra, whom I met on the 8th during my first visit to bring matter to his attention, he calls in Nandini and gives her pointers. As he leaves she disappears and never comes back for another 20minutes or so. We served our own meals mid-way, which I don’t mind btw but mentioning it so others are aware. I wanted to surprise the newly wedded couple with a cake, I have asked the host that received us at the door about it, she said she would check but never came back with an answer, Asked Nandini to check and ask the host to come see me. No answer and Nandini never got in touch with the host. I asked Gajendra about it and he finally comes back with an answer. I asked Ashok who was a savior in all of this to bring it after we finish our meal, Nandini was pretty much asked by the staff to stay away from our table, or atleast I was told so. Meanwhile Nandini walks in announcing rate card for the cake, describing it and ruining our surprise saying that it was important for her to know that we are willing to pay for it(Seriously?), While I agreed to all of that when she decided to be a no show at our table. Ashok finally gets everything done, a lot better than his Captain Nandini. Nandini did not embarrass just us but her colleagues aswell. She shouldn’t be hosting at all, I say this after being very patient and empathetic. Guests cannot be treated this way and she cannot be allowed to ruin someone’s special moments this way. Overall a horrible experience and a nightmare. Been a customer forever and never did I once had a hiccup and this one experience ruined it all.

Initial 5 Star review from April 8th. Bimal, Nissa & Gajendra hosted us real well. Tansen has always been a favorite place for years. They really did a good job with the ambience at the new location and brought...
