With the pandemic hitting us right in the gut and ruining all of our travel plans here are few places that can take you right into a dining experience in Japan or a quaint little place on the streets of Himachal.
Here are our top-picks for Asian Restaurants in Hyderabad:
1.Chubby Cho :
Located right below the most happening pub of Hyderabad, Fat Pigeon is this hidden gem on Rd 45 in Jubilee Hills. As you enter the restaurant you are immediately transported to Japan where everything is bright and colourful in red and yellow. The ambience is very cheerful with multiple artworks inspired by the Japanese culture infused with modern pop-culture references around. You are greeted with a cup of hot Jasmine tea before you begin your dining experience and we would not have it any other way.

Average cost: ₹1,600 for two people (approx.)
Recommendations: Hot Basil Chicken, Lotus Steam, Chilli Garlic Noodles
Must-Try: Spicy Ramen Bowl (with chicken)
2.Hashi :
With multiple restaurants of Hashi located throughout Hyderabad. Here is our outtake of the branch located in Rd 10 Jubilee Hills. The place seems like a tiny little place for a cosy Japanese experience only to enter to see a decently large place that has a live sushi counter as well. We better get to the good stuff now, the food.

The ambience of the place is surely a worthy mention with blue accent walls and cutlery with a lot of wooden furniture with multiple money plants and creeper growing appropriately the place does calm your mind down from the busy roads and traffic we encounter through our commute to here.
