Hyderabad bar and kitchen combines tropical brutalist design with verdant social spaces
Nestled in the heart of Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, Babylon has made its grand entrance as a new bar and restaurant. Located at Plot no 346,8-2-193/82/A/346/346/1, the venue boasts a distinctive address in Telangana 500033, India.
The architecture of Babylon is a stunning blend of rugged and refined elements, with Dholpur sandstone used to fortify its boundary walls. The interior design is equally impressive, featuring a mezzanine with double-height ceilings, a kinetic sculpture, and weathered Corten steel frames enclosing the indoor bar. The floors are washed concrete flecked with black and red stone chips, adding to the overall aesthetic.
Landscape design for the venue is by Kiasma Studio, and the result is a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, divided into four distinct zones anchored by a central courtyard.
Babylon offers a diverse menu, catering to a wide range of palates. From Hyderabadi specialties such as Mutton Ghee Roast and Bheema Royyala Vepudu, to Turkish dishes prepared by Chef Murat, and Italian and Pan-Asian offerings, there's something for everyone. Chef Samat is responsible for the grills at Babylon, overseeing dishes like spiced Kuzu Kafes and citrus-bright Norwegian salmon.
For those with a sweet tooth, Babylon's dessert menu doesn't disappoint. The Rose Pistachio Puddle Cake is a standout choice, and a berry cappuccino is recommended to pair with it.
The brewery at Babylon is semi-open, and beer is served directly from tank to tap, adding to the authentic dining experience.
Whether you're looking for a unique dining experience or a night out at a trendy bar, Babylon in Hyderabad is definitely worth a visit.
