Reel 01

Programme

Off Durgam Cheruvu Road, past a slatted wall that lights up gold at dusk, the roof stops and a courtyard begins. Rain trees and palms come up through the deck. Tables in green marble sit under them. There is a bar along one side and a projection wall along the other, and on a Friday both are busy.

The yard

Most of the seating has no ceiling over it. The trees were there first and the deck was cut around them, so you eat under branches rather than under a pergola pretending to be branches. Above the yard there is a covered room in glass and timber for when Hyderabad decides otherwise.

The screen

A projection wall facing the open seating. Google's listing flags the venue as good for watching sports and for live music, and the photographs show a full yard in front of a lit screen after dark.
