Exotica Banjara Hills (zafraan)

It was a great restaurant. Dining there was like dining in a small rooftop garden. Even though it was crowded it felt all soothing and calming. The staff is highly skilled and very prompt in service. The dishes we tried both vegetarian and non-vegetarian were great (except masala papad) Only feedback is to have more than one ladies washroom as there was quite a line outside the single washroom they had.

This is by far one of my go to restaurants if you live North Indian food. The service and the ambiance of this place is super and you will leave the restaurant with smile. They have seating arrangements inside as well as outside on the rooftop and I would highly recommend the rooftop. Rajasthan Laal Maas, Murg Malai Tikka, Laccha Paratha and Kashmiri Pulao are a must try at this place.

As the name suggests exotic and has a very good atmosphere The food is also delicious we went there to celebrate our anniversary 🎉 and it was a great experience to spend time with your family or someone special ❤☺ at the entrance you will get rose once you enter and lady who was there to welcome guests is politely welcomes you feels good and one photographer is also there if you want your precious moments capture he will click and print pictures 🖼 it costs 100 rs per picture overall great experience ❣ happy from bottom of my heart ❤

Fish is the best served non veg here.

It has both inside and outside sitting

Please prefer sitting outside.

Must must visit with Family or friends.

We had a nice time at the restaurant. They had valet parking, which was convenient. The food was good, especially the beetroot kofta. It was soft and flavorful. The roller coaster drink was also fun to try. The service was good, too. They were attentive and friendly. The only downside was that the place was very crowded. We had to wait for a long time to get a table. And the vegetarian Manchuria was not very fresh. It tasted a bit stale and dry. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience there.

Exotica is an upscale place in Banjara Hills . Been to this restro recently for dinner . The moment you enter you would be in awe of the ambience which has been tastefully done and it looks more beautiful when the interiors are totally lightened up . Food was yummylicious. The starters were delightful to start with , the panner & brocolli starters were succulent while the chicken malai starter was the star of the day . The main course was delectable too . We enjoyed each and every morsel of the food , the quantity given for each delicacy is generous too . The cost is definitely on the higher side . nevertheless , if you are looking for a fine dining place with family , this is the go to place .

Great Food. Great Ambience. Good to go with Family. Terrace Garden style ambience with Bamboo and mini pools Thai Bali style. We went with family and enjoyed the food here.

It was a beautiful balmy Friday night! The weather was just right to sit out. The ambience was soft and relaxing. We found ourselves at Zafraan exotica. The service was exemplary. The staff polite and courteous. Extremely efficient. The food was mouth watering. Beautifully presented! What more can you ask for? our mocktails were a delight. The food was a sensual delight to the taste buds. If you have not visited yet, please do. From kababs, to dal to the kulchas . Everything was par excellence. Specially the gelawti kabab, fish achari tikka. What are you waiting for? Why wait for tomorrow? Who has promised tomorrow? You have to visit as soon as possible. Why not tonight foodies?

Buffet here is really worth trying. Every dish like prawn chilli, babycorn chilli, butter garlic chicken are delicious. The naan is the best i have had so flaky and tasty. The butter chicken was yummy too. Aam panna was great.

Ambience is really super good. Enjoye the time here with my office colleagues and main thing the garden view spot and hut table system is simply good. And prices are too high. Service is good. Min thing in this restaurant is rooftop view definitely you will like it while dining. Pleasant music and water sounds.

I must admit one of the most romantic restaurant we have in hyderabad. I just loved the ambience and experience of candle light dinner. Food is awesome and I loved the overall experience I had here. I took nice photos and they are classy.

Had the most wonderful evening here! Amazing food, service and cocktails. A must visit in Hyderabad!

Not the most innovative menu but the ambience is great, service is good, food is delicious, they have the softest paneer in Hyderabad.
It’s a bit expensive for Hyderabad standards but it’s a good place for a special occasion.

they have very special or tasty dishes in North Indian style. I felt with the style and interior design of restaurant .they have the best services for customers and iam really going back to eat some spicy and tasty food. they have a magic in their dishes

It is an expensive restaurant but totally worth it. The chicken korma is the best I've ever tried anywhere. They have other amazing dishes also. If you want to go for a candlelight dinner, this restaurant is highly recommended.

Food is excellent. The shrimps the fish and the chicken. The kebab not so much. Makhni daal is also great

Ambience. On the rooftop open terrace. Light breeze with the electric fans. Great place

The food is just yummm, veg and non-veg with alcohol options are available, please do book a table as its gets full quickly and wait time could be longer.

The ambience is very good and amazing .. the foods are fresh and tasty . The customer service stands out .. if you want to have high end food with family in a weekend this is the best place .. the food that we tried all of the them tasted good ..

I recently visited Exotica Restaurant in Banjara Hills and I must say it was a beautiful experience. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, with tasteful decor that added to the overall experience. The outdoor seating had Koi ponds and open air seating that is very popular.
The restaurant has valet parking.

The service was prompt and friendly, and the staff were knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations.

Speaking of the menu, it was a food lover's paradise. The dishes were expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors were simply outstanding. The presentation of each dish was also impressive, making the dining experience a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes.

I would highly recommend trying the Dum Biryani and the methi paneer which pairs beautifully with ajwaini lacha paratha, both of which were cooked to perfection and had an amazing depth of flavor. The dessert selection was also fantastic, and I particularly enjoyed the Gulab Jamun and the refreshing Kala khatta drink.

The bathrooms are spectacularly well kept and super clean.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Exotica Restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Banjara Hills. The food, ambiance, and service were all top-notch, and I look forward to my next visit
