Zega — Restaurant in Hyderabad

ZEGA – An Astounding Asian Affair.

Coming from the Sheraton group of hotels it’s obvious and expected to be finest in every aspect of F&B and hospitality. With an elite ambiance, appreciable view from the 10th floor, impeccable choices on the menu makes it a place to be for your pan Asian cravings. Be it your working lunches, client meetings, an evening to hang out over a dose of refreshing divine fluids, Zega got you covered. Basically, it goes around the motto of “Eat-Drink-Socialize”. So do you still need a reason to visit?

Open till 2 in the midnight from 12PM the place coverts itself from a fine dining & bar to bar only place at 10PM with a bar static menu. Price factor ranges from 1400 – 1800 for two (few more hundreds if alcohol is included).

I was munching over the crisps, pickled veggies served as complimentary while I wait for food and there arrives an array of chefs choicest dishes crafted to its goodness or at least to the nearest possible level. Started off with a brilliant Sichuan hot & sour soup that tuned the palate. While we wait for the starters a set of short and long glasses appear with colorful barman special fluids that took over the attention and I couldn’t resist to capture the best of it before I devour them. Foodie you know. Off all #Cojito (Malibu, white rum, pineapple juice), #HerbalDelight (Mint, Basil, Orange juice, honey), #NoonCharger (Spinach, beetroot, carrot), #papasuya (fresh papaya, skimmed milk, walnut, honey) were the best for me. Here comes the much awaited small bamboo basket carrying #Jadedumpling, #FourMushroomdumpling, #Crystaldumpling, #ChickenBao, pan-fried #ChickenGyoza, Non-veg #Sushiplatter. Crystal dumpling, Bao, salmon sushi from the sushi platter stood the best out of all good ones. Followed by #Lambchops, #Taipaichicken, #Lotusstem, #Crispyvegetableuramaki, #dicedchicken, #prawnspringroll, #buttergarliclimefish. Prawn spring roll, Butter garlic lime fish & Lambchops does need a mention. Lotus stem got its crispness well but the sweetness was little overpowering. Otherwise, it was great too. Moving on to mains #JasmineRice, #Prawnfriedrice, #Chickenhakkanoodles, #Vegfriedrice, #kungpaochicken, #Greencurryvegetable, #stirfriedprawn in chef special sauce, #crispyfriedfish in pineapple sauce was served. I couldn’t indulge much as rice and noodles are currently no for me but crispy fried fish & green curry vegetable were alluring. The wait is over and the delightful desserts #BananaToffee with #saltedcaramelicecream, #coconutcreambrulee, #coconuticecream finds its way to our table. The banana toffee was the best and we all went hogging.

Overall an appealing meal which needs another visit to forget 😉 & there is nothing like “What could have made the experience better ?” as I find it good in all aspects.

Special mention to Pradeepto who has got an extensive knowledge on what he is serving and chefs of Zega who made it a brilliant meal

Zega is one of the finest Asian fine dine that we have in Hyderabad. It may not be authentic as one would expect and there is a reason for it. The main intention of Zega is to cater Asian cuisine to global audience that they have. Located in the IT HUB, this place has walkins of people from all over the globe and their in house customers are of the similar type. They tune the dishes so that it would please larger audience.

We have started our dinner with szechuan hot and sour soup which was unlike any other hot and sour I have tried till date. Totally impressed. Four mushroom dumpling was very good of the lot I have tried. Chicken Gyoza was another dumpling that satisfied my ventriculus - Soft and juicy, just the way I love it. Chicken Bao was more of bland and quite dry to my palate. Their Sushi Platter is quite an order, if you want to try best of their menu 😋 Their Tuna nigiri and salmon sushi left us wanting for more. Lamb chops from their grill menu and crispy lotus stem from their regular menu were super good. Both diced chicken and Prawns spring roll were just OK and bothung great about it.

Though their were quite a few dishes in the mains, given that I've tried considerable number of starters, I could inky manage to try couple of mains so that I had enough space for desserts 😉 Chicken hakka noodles did its job right in satisfying. Thai vegetable green curry with Jasmine rice was star of the mains 😋

Their desserts are made in house including ice creams. Tried their banana toffee with salted caramel ice cream, coconut ice creams and cream Brulee. While their Icecreams are nothing outstanding, banana toffee and cream Brulee were mild on sugars and brilliant in taste. If I would order anything from their dessert menu, it would be these two. It was quite a dinner that we had which only got better with their amazing service and whiskey sour 😉

Amazing rooftop place with great views of the IT offices.

When you enter the restaurant it strikes you as a very pleasant place. The dimly lit interiors near the bar to the soothing and not over the top music being played by the DJ and the big transparent window to kitchen where the chefs are busy preparing delicacies.

The entire theme goes with their tagline of eat drink and socialize. As it's on the top level , the view from the restaurant​ is simply amazing, grab the tables​ near the window for the perfect evening.

They also have private dining cabins just next to the bar for a romantic date I presume.

Coming to the mocktails , recommended are the Galangal Spritzer and the Herbal Delight. Herbal Delight is a refreshing drink to freshen you up.

For starters there are dimsums and wok tofu ,fish and chicken.

The Wok tossed Tofu is very good and it's certainly recommended here. The water chestnuts with honey garlic sauce is also too good with the crunchiness and flavours oozing from each bite.

The chilly chicken had a homely feel about it and the Korean chicken wings had a smoky feel and served on a smoky bed tastes better when you keep eating more of it.

If you like sushi then it's the place to be. They have a myriad of options and each of them is good.

From the main course don't forget to order the Thai yellow curry with sticky rice and bacon and prawns fried rice.

The chocolate gateaux from the desserts is a must have and the creme brulee too.

It certainly is a refreshing place and again the music is not too loud so that it hinders conversation and that what I like at a place which has socialize as their tagline.

Great work by the team here and I'm recommending this as a perfect after office...
