    Completely waste of money, with cost of one cocktail you can buy a bottle. They serve only Italian food and starters we were clueless what to order so we ended up googling top recipes so it suggested tacos are best. But the dish was just ‘OK’. And we wanted to try lasagna which tasted like sweet. We billed with Rs:2100 for 2 items lol. And worst thing is at the entrance near the entry door a women asked me if i had a booking.. i dont find bookings in zomato or dineout or in google.. ok thats a mistake by me but the lady did not allowed us to sit where we want. The place was literally empty and we were too early like around 1:00 we wanted to sit outside but she was not allowing us and after sometime I ignored her and went out to sit there and some guy with coat allowed me to grab a good place and finally we chose what we want. I prefer not to go there cos they atleast dont have a good parking place where we need to park only cars literally on the main road.

    First time going to this place and it did live up to my expectations of what it would be. The ambience is beautiful and you feel surrounded with lush greens all around. Every corner seems to be curated beautifully. You'll find a lot of people dressed up and grabbing photos on the stairs and in the lobby. The food was fresh and delicious. Their service is good and staff is attentive. It is quite expensive for a whole meal here with everyitem almost starting at 600rs Don't try the americano if you like black coffee it isn't well made here. Valet parking available up front.

    Cool place to hangout with tasty food suitable for a healthy lifestyle. Lots of options in both veg and non veg with one of the best pizzas I have ever tasted in Hyderabad. Totally worth the time, money spent. Staff were unexpectedly professional and treated the customers the right way.

    Very good food. Pretty good menu for the variety. Very good service and the restaurant accommodated our very late arriving party of 15. They provided high chairs for children after sanitizing them.

    Multi cuisine restaurant, great ambience and good food. Their Mutton Galauti Kababs are delicious if you’re a spice lover. Their Malai Chicken Tikka, Mushroom Tarts, Dosa Chicken, Paneer 3 wats was good too. Chicken Wings platter is average as it’s pretty dry. Spinach Ravioli was overdone.

    Super relaxing dinner with a colleague. The place made you feel as if you were stepping into an Oasis that is in the middle of the hustle/bustle that is Hyderabad. Service was attentive and the food was really good. Starters and mains were well received, we particularly enjoyed the salad (forget the name - puri?) , mutton curry in a spicy but delicious gravy and of course the thin crust pizza - very tasty. Will add this to my list of places to eat in Hyderabad.

    Food and ambience are great but the restaurant charges service charge. Even after asking to remove it, the waiter told it's there in the menu, Having service charge in the menu doesn't entitle the restaurant or hotel to charge any customer with service charge as per the CCPA act.

    Restaurant Review Taste: We ordered pasta, mushroom rolls, pepper chicken tacos, Arabic Mezze Platter, thin crust barbecue pizza and tossed salad. All the items without exception were very tasty. Mushroom rolls were amazing. The portion size of each item was just about adequate for 2 people. We paid about 5k for the whole order which I found to be a trifle expensive. We were 5 adults. Service: Very prompt, and responsive and polite. Ambience: indoors was well laid out classic and neat and very nice. Outdoors was noisy and smoky and crowded...but, I guess that's how the crowd wanted it. Restrooms and toilets: neat and clean Parking: valet parking was available. COVID protocols: staff were following all protocols. Overall experience: good. Will I go again? Yes.

    This is by far the best restaurant and bar I visited in Hyderabad. The open space is amazing, and the environment is pretty chill. Waiters are very friendly. My and my then partner went with another friend of ours. She had her first alcoholic drink there, and she said it was really good. The dish with lotus petal is amazing! I forgot the name of the dish. The pizza and starters we ordered were also amazing!

    Great ambience and lovely vegetarian food. Visited the place for the first time and have to give it to chef for the wonderful vegetarian food. Absolutely great taste and quick service. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Usually gets busy after 9 PM in the weekends. Better to book a table if the plan is for a weekend.

    Sanctuary is actually a sanctuary. The back of the restaurant takes you far away from the city without actually going anywhere. The food is a 5/5. The salads are the best in Hyderabad. The pasta and the small bites are so amazing. The drinks are a 5/5. The best bartender in town. The only place that actually knows how to make a Moscow mule!! Ambiance is a 5/5. I only ever go for brunch and they have a DJ but it’s like he is barely there. The music is faint enough that it creates a nice vibe and you can still have a decent conversation without having to lean in Service 2/5. Sometimes the staff comes off as a bit rude. I get the feeling they only care if they know you will spend well there. I would so give this place a 5 star review but hospitality is so important in the restaurant world. I hope management works on this.

    I was completely blown away by Sanctuary. The place is stunning ! I can't stop raving about it to friends and fam back in NCR about how wonderful it is. Apart from the gorgeous decor and design, the cocktails are fantastic and so is the food. Although we ate only a few things as we had other places to hop, the lamb, prawn tempura, shrimp tacos were really good

    Very serene place!! The backspace of the place is well maintained with lots of greenery. Evening ambience is spectacular with candles and original flowers on table. Great service and friendly staffs. But the food is not up to the mark. They serve pepper chicken tacos with curry leaves as garnish and the sauce used was not ideal mayonnaise. It had weird taste.

    I visited this place on a weekend it was not that too crowded place. Ambiance for both seating in and out is amazing. Coming to food we ordered only appetizers they were good and mocktails were also good to have. price is also reasonable as i felt it was worthy. I would suggest to explore once atleast as it was different experience compare to any other regular one. Overall my experience is i liked it.

  • 5/5 konala a. 2 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful ambience and awesome food. Its better to book a table before if you want to enjoy outdoor dining. Chicken sliders are yummy. Only problem is with the parking, it's little far to park the vehicle.

    The Sanctuary Bar & Kitchen lives up to its name by providing a haven of tranquility and culinary excellence. With its serene ambience , attentive service, and exquisite menu, it offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    One of my favourite places in Hyderabad. Great food great ambiance good music. Though it’s pricey I think it is worth. I have visited these places for lunch and dinner and the vibes are totally different at both the times.

    A very very wide variety of offerings. Tastefully done ambience, with options for both outdoor and indoor seating. There's a small area on the first floor too for a more private and quiter experience. The outdoor section offers a different feel altogether, often turning into an energetic club like atmosphere with great music , giant candle lighting, high tables and good crowd.

  • 4/5 Diya S. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking for Expensive Dinner dates or chilling weekend vibe... Then this is the great place to visit. But guyz this is quite expensive like 2k-3k spending at once. Ambience is really amazing... Food and Cocktails have lot of great options to try... It has valet parking also. You can also book a table and plan your candle light dinner or coffee dates. Only one thing that...the space is not airy and they don't have fans or AC arrangements in outdoor sitting. After some drinks & dance you might feel as sweaty.

  • 4/5 Vishal B. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited for dinner on a Sunday. We were seated outdoors where they had live music playing. The performers were really good and play every Sunday. The food and drinks are great. We had the Pepper Chicken Tacos, Wild Mushroom Tarts, Peri Peri Fries, Chicken Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo. I paired the food with a nice Old Fashioned. The place is a bit on the costlier side. We paid 5.5k for four people where only two of us had one alcoholic beverage each. Still a great experience overall.

    One of the best Restaurants that I have visited. Such elegant place with peaceful ambiance. The interior decor, wood work, seating were Amazing!! I'm basically from Bangalore I've seen my fare share of restaurants but I was genuinely impressed. Food the best part of the food we experimented a bit n was delighted. Desserts being the best part. Definitely a must try place especially for special occasions and family outings. The brunch scenes were looking very happening we opted dine in it was very pleasant and the service was also good.

  • 5/5 Ayanti R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great good, cozy ambiance and helpful and friendly staff. This place is a must-visit even though it's a bit steep. A meal without drinks with two starters, 1 main course and a dessert will easily get you back by 3.5 to 4k. But it's quite worth it.

  • 4/5 Archana P. 11 months ago on Google
    Earthy tones with lush green is a beautiful liaison, the place is even more gorgeous in the evenings with the play of light and shadow. exceptionally good is their team headed by Gandhi who is courteous and warm enough to take care of the guests. Uday is always extremely polite and heeds to our requests on point. The pizzas are really good with the perfect crust. Indian fusion food like the bhel puri , avocado tostada were really bad, the guacamole was tasteless and tasted dead. The drinks are alright not so great concoctions, hyderabad still has a long way to go to serve good food infusions. The chicken bao were scrumptious to hog. The French fries were really dead . The paneer makhani & naan were alright . I keep going to this place more for the ambiance.

    This place is awesome for brunch!! Free flowing drinks and awesome food. The staff is friendly and always very helpful in suggesting the right drinks and food. This is a must for Sunday brunch. The outside seating is perfect for a Sunday brunch. I was fortunate enough to meet the head Chef Asif. This is a great place to hangout on a lazy Sunday!!

    Great place for dine-in. Had Lasagne, Butterchicken tarts, Mutton ghee roast and lamb cheese balls. Loved the food. Lamb cheese balls deserves a special mention. Satiating.

  • 1/5 Maitreyi S. 2 years ago on Google
    We came to this place looking at the reviews and it was the worst mistake ever. The food and cocktails are average and i agree with anyone who has said on this forum that it is over priced. We had a watermelon and pomegranate based mocktail which tasted bad. The cocktails were passable. We have had much better at most pubs around Hyderabad. For Items that we ordered from the menu, we were told after half an hour that they are not available (again and again) . And the worst of all- there was a glass with well defined lipstick stain on our table, which we did not notice for a long time due to the dim lighting. In this pandemic time, having tableware that has not been properly cleaned is a big NO. I don't think I need to elaborate on this point further.

  • 5/5 vadde v. 2 years ago on Google
    Five star for ambience , it’s very unique in its own style . Ambience dominates food here , still cocktails are good . Pizza can be better .

  • 5/5 Bithin R. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Great ambience,great blend of the interior with old and new.the dj plays good electronic music in the evening, good place for special occasions n celebration, and for a party of approx 50 people. Alcohol is getting costlier every day n so is the case here as well, can't complain. Food has a variety of choices, from Indian to Oriental to continental.

  • 4/5 sreekrishna p. 8 months ago on Google
    More than any specific cuisine/ food If you’re looking to be into a sort of heritage place where Daggubati’s lived out there life’s, you can’t feel the same about it like they did back then.. still your dining as a guest in there late home, just a little past time frames. it’s quite a quick reach too amidst jubliee..(gokul) the guy who knows where to cut the corners but isn’t so apparent, managed to turn their late home into another Nice place to unwind.

  • 4/5 Manish M. 2 years ago on Google
    I misjudged the place based on zomato reviews where it was rated 2.8 but oh boy! the food which we had was bomb! Great service and greay food!

  • 5/5 Mahi I. 7 months ago on Google
    Sanctuary Bar and Kitchen is my go-to place every week. The vibe is amazing, and the music sets the perfect tone, especially on weekends when they play great techno, deep house, and Afro beats. The food is outstanding, and it's the ideal spot to chill and enjoy a fantastic weekend.

  • 4/5 Nikhil K. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice bar and restaurant. There are two seating area outer and inner. Outer space is good and music is there. Inner space is quiet and closed. Stags are not allowed to use the outer sitting area. Not sure why this kind of separation.

  • 5/5 Radhika D. 1 year ago on Google
    Where under the sky did I come! Wow what a beautiful place. It's completely full of lively and lovely plants and trees. After a very very long time I visited this beautiful place. I was so mesmerized with ambience, that everything looked lovely to me...🙈 Food I will for sure recommend Lotus Stems, I had it for first time and it was spoon licking good... 😜 Tom Yum Chicken soup was ok, but again we ordered a chicken starter which was yummy... Chicken Tikka Biryani, must say was perfectly cooked with nice raita... Desert was some sticky gum toffee pudding, it was different and nice... I could not take many pictures as it was more a treat to eye... 🤩 Hopefully will visit soon again and will share more pics... And fingers crossed, wish you also good pictures and memories at this place...

  • 5/5 Pratha R. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely visit this place for good food and ambience! The food The drinks, moctails and cocktails all were very good..loved everything we ordered but a must try is the pink sauce pasta, the pizzas.. The galauti kabab was also really good. Service gets a thumbs-up staff good, quantity of food served very good! Overall a very good experience and a must try to go with family and friends and couples as the indoors is of dim lights more like candle light dinner! Did not get to try the outdoors though.
