  • 5/5 Not_so_local_wayfarer 2 years ago on Google
    It is one of the current booming bars in Hyderabad. It’s uniqueness holds in the open air restaurant and bar idea. We Hyderabadi’s are kinda bored with rooftops now and so this can be interesting if you wanna get some fresh air while you socialise. On a rainy day, ofcourse, as you would expect, the roof is on. The place is perfect and easily accessible. The ambience is decent enough. The food is good if you enjoy spicy stuff. Prices are not very high. There are quite nice music bands during the weekend. The best part is, the singers here sing in most south indian languages like telugu, Tamil, Malayalam. The place is mostly crowded. Specially during the weekends, you can’t find a table without prior reservations. What I dint like, is the long waiting times for the order to arrive. The staff and the ordering system is not very organised.

    Huge rush was there.. they are charging 500 per head as entry fee. Inside ambiance was not that good. Half part open to sky half was covered. Over priced.

    Nice place and good service. Food was decent enough for a drinking place. Have given 1 star less because they don’t serve my favourite beer, Budweiser :)

    This place has the best live performance in the city. Food is quite amazing. Overall ambience gives a lovely vibe. Slightly older age profile on a Monday evening. Beer is quite expensive and I didn't find my favourite Kingfisher here.

    3 stars for tiny space, poor lighting and 4 stars for food, but 5 stars for the band. No entry fee, cover charge (1500 per person if you go as a couple, 4000 for stags) or reservation needed on Mondays. El taxidi band was impressive. Would go again just for the live Telugu music bands here.

    The worst place ever ! I travelled all the way from Bangalore to visit this place looking at the reviews ! But it’s such a disappointment to see how the staff behaved with us. There is this one person who was so so rude to us and he treated us like we don’t belong there ! He was so happy we left early ! I have no idea why they are over rated ! When someone comes to you with such excitement pls learn to show some respect and be kind ! I really hope this guy behaves well and show respect to people who visit there ! I will never visit this place !!

    Place and ambiance is 5 stars and food is amazing, very beautiful live bands are available and they are awesome. The reason I gave overall 3 stars is because they won't provide water for free it seems and you have to purchase water bottle, come on man its water you have to provide for free and worst is they are charging 100/- per bottle which is very costly and bad. Rest everything is good.

  • 3/5 srinivas n. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my friends opted this place for the live band. "Elyzium" group played on the day of my visit. valet parking takes care of the car parking, so no worries there. They charge extra for entry on weekends as far as I know. This place is small and usually crowded but the Sound system equipped here in tabula rasa gives that enhanced feel to the live band which makes us forget how tightly the crowd is packed inside. Nothing note worthy about the food but every starter we ordered was good. Staff needs to be more attentive, I felt tabula rasa is a bit expensive for the overall seating and food they provide but somehow live band experience covers that up.

  • 4/5 Anurag T. 1 year ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Decent and pretty place with good live music and DJ. The ambiance is really good and the taste of the food is really good . The pricing is usually high but, compared to other pubs, it is okay, and the staff here give you a table according to your dressing style and group, and the seating is really good, only when you get a table in the middle. Corner seating is not really good. For a group of 5, you usually need to spend 10k~

    Nice place for live music. Despite being outdoor, they had good cooling to ensure that it doesnt seem hot even in April. The food was decent and service was not bad. Would like to come back here again if there's a decent band performing.

  • 4/5 Girish G. 4 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    Good place for drinks and food. Good variety of mocktails and cocktails. Prompt and quick service. Valet for parking available. Good to invite any of your guests for gathering and have fun. Visit this place for more enjoyment on days with live band

  • 3/5 Rohith P. 3 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    I recently experienced this place and wanted to provide some feedback. The live music performances by Moksha Band were outstanding, adding a vibrant energy to the atmosphere. However, in terms of other aspects, the overall experience falls in the average range.

  • 4/5 satya swaroop n. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a bar with live music and the best part is it's always Telugu music playing. Food and drinks were decent. Ambience was not so great but okay. Go here only with reservation else the place is usually crowded and you will have to stand at the bar counter which may not give you good vibe.

    Ambience is good. Rude staff. Down sized menu. You cant even get a pizza or pasta. Over priced too. Food is not that great. Dont know why this place is so over hyped. Live band is okay. Didn’t enjoy . We can choose better options.

  • 1/5 H R. 3 years ago on Google
    Hmmm its was just not a night to be.. if you do not understand telugu then DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. The singer didn't or couldn't sing any hindi or english numbers. Though credit to him, he had a good voice and tone, whilst others were quite high on the music it was a total waste of time for us On a weekend pre-booking is recommended, valet parking available and the service is prompt, in fact very quick as if in a rush to feed you. Ambience was good, food was okaish and very pricey. The mocktails were alright. Could have spent the evening at home watching Netflix instead...

    Place is very good 👍🏻 but it’s a very small place may not accommodate more people When I went it I felt it very crowded and suffocating. The live music is good.food and beverage are very nice both in taste and price.

    Too hyped. The place lighting is very low. Hardly able to see anything. Food taste was below average. Im a vegetarian and the vegetarian dishes tasted very poor. Also the service was slow. I will not recommend this. There are better cafes in that area

  • 4/5 Rohan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good if you like live music and crowds in a dark atmosphere. Quite a happening place at night. Weekend nights here get crowded upto an extent to make it feel like a mini music festival. Seating isn't very comfortable.

  • 4/5 saurav d. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the popular places with live music in Hyderabad. The only downside for me is that most of the bands who perform play only Bollywood and regional music, I have never seen anyone perform rock or any other international genre here. However, the food is decent and almost all kind of drinks are available with exception of tea and coffee.. :P

  • 4/5 Usha D. 2 years ago on Google
    Friday late evenings here is at a different level. The ‘varnam’ band was playing live, belting Telugu songs from old to latest, throwing in some retro numbers too at the end. Was pleasantly surprised at the ‘packed to the brim’ place with guests enjoying the music inspite of lack of space to even put two feet together. The bar was busy serving beer buckets mostly and the starters were coming in randomly from the kitchen. Most guests just nibbling at the food in that sultry stuffy atmosphere Foodkarma verdict: Taste : 4/5 Ambience: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Value for money: 3.5/5 Service staff Valet: stole chocolate bar from the car which is unprofessional, and petty Ushers: Intimidating until one shells out some ₹1500 for entry Table staff: rude, impolite and treating guests differently as per their whims and priorities which was pathetic and shabby. Bar staff: quick, smart and earnest (2/5) The starters rolled out of the plate while serving but they graciously replaced.

    Good place for gang out with friend Don’t allow stags some times, advance booking is best for front seating for band lovers

  • 1/5 Saketh R. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here on a Saturday. There were so many people that we didn't have enough room to stand let alone find a table. No social distancing whatsoever. No wonder we're still having a lot of cases in Hyderabad. The place should've restricted people entry after reaching seating limit but they didn't. The crowd are at fault too as they should've left right after seeing the rush, which is what we did. We're not going back here ever.

  • 4/5 Akhul R. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is good but the seating was not proper. Corner tables will not have a proper sight of live music. Food was really good. Working staff is not costumer friendly. I would suggest that it's a good place to hangout with not more than 5 unless you get a proper seating.

    The atmosphere was lively and fun, and the Varnam band was amazing. The food was also delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend Tabula Rasa to anyone looking for a fun night out!

    Nice place to hang out. We loved the experience. The live music is so good. The volume is a bit on higher side. So if you hang out with friends for conversations it's not the best place to visit. But if you want to enjoy good and music then this is best place to be..

    Music is too loud and the place is small. Everything is so expensive here for God knows why and it's definitely not worth it. There is a cover charge of 3000 for couple and another 1000 for entry.

  • 1/5 Ritesh R. 2 years ago on Google
    Skip going here at all costs. Read further to save u a horrible experience. We rarely rate a place as bad, but this place deserves negative ratings. Many people had similar opinions like us, but still wanted to give it a try for capricio band. So this is the detailed experience we had. We had called in the evening much before the opening time and had asked for a table reservation, it was informed to us that the reservation was not required and we can walk in directly. After reaching, they said there were no tables vacant(on a weekday, at 7:30 pm) and said we can have an area at the bar with high chairs (after entering found lots of empty tables for two people) but were denied these places and moreover no high chairs were provided at the bar too and have been asked to stand and order. Even had to pay an entry fee of 500 rs per head (non refundable)(i doubt management knows this/may be self interests invested??). We are a couple and have been asked to stand and no place to sit was provided. Had to walk out and speak with manager to get a place to sit for the lady. Management needs to be extra clear about reservations. This is a pathetic service. Customer is how d hospitality industry survives. If your customers are not respected, the downfall is around the corner. Secondly the ambience. Overcrowded. They have been pushing in the crowd and overjamming people, much, much beyond sitting and even standing capacity. Looked like a rush hour in japan trains. Poor covid restrictions. This is a very substandard way of making extra bucks for the restaurant. I cudnt even find a place for people to stand, that it reached a point of pushing each other to even stand. If it was a major event like a new year or may be sunburn in goa its passable, but there will be elite crowd expecting a goodnight and booking the restaurant for a good dinner, if above thing syncs with you, give the restaurant a pass. Food is over rated, not upto the mark, had better food than this at local restaurants. Waiters are horrible. They take the initial 2000 rs which has to be paid(will be deducted from food and drinks later)but when they give u d bill, they donot deduct it, u need to be extra vigilant with the bill, and cross check things. Waiters argue with you, ill mannered, this is against the hospitality service. And the drinks, i wonder if they give the drinks u have ordered for or go for cheaper versions, its unmonitored and connoisseurs can easily make out the drinks are exchanged for an alternative cheaper brands. This place is okay for younger crowds 19-21 who are yet to experience finer things. But not a value for money. Could hardly appreciate good things about this place. I would give at a minus rating if possible. I would recommend skip going to this place at all costs.

  • 4/5 Navyasree C. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place especially during nights!! Try visiting when they have scheduled live band. You will surely love it

  • 3/5 John Sudeep J. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite a hyped place in Hyderabad. They are known for live bands performing there. So the crowd pulling could be because of the Artist, but not about the place itself. Small place. They do have an open seating area and an transparent awning that would be pulled up if its raining. They do serve food and Alcohol. Pricing is a lil on the higher side.

  • 3/5 Prapul V. 1 year ago on Google
    The place, ambience, food were lovely!!! Completely liked it. Three things are not that great. 1. The place has lots of mosquitos 2. Place is too crowded. We were 14 but we got a table for only 10 after having a reservation a day before. 3. Valet parking is a mess.

  • 5/5 Kannan 2 years ago on Google
    Great place. Surprisingly good vegetarian fare for a place like this. Irrespective the crowd the waiters seemed to be very attentive and good.

  • 2/5 Vignesh I. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambience is great but the seating was quite cramped with very little space between the tables. Music was too loud but lacked clarity to appreciate the lyrics. Food quality was not upto the mark and caused indigestion troubles to multiple members.

  • 5/5 Keerthi r. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has low lit ambience perfect for dinner nights with loved ones and ambience with live music is cherry on the cake. Food is awesome ..Dynamite shrimp must try.. If u wanna enjoy some good food n music ..must try...

  • 4/5 V S. 2 years ago on Google
    They have live bands playing Telugu and Hindi songs! Food was good, we had the kebab platters. Service was decent, though the food took a while to arrive. We were there on a Saturday night and the place was packed!! Better to book ahead, otherwise you have to wait in line. The crowd was good and seemed to love the songs, many people were joining in and singing and dancing to their favorites! Overall a fun place to try. It is expensive.

  • 1/5 Phani M. 2 years ago on Google
    The worst place we visited ever. Went for a concert to cheer a cousin - the staff was very bad in service. 1 - they took away my drink (only 1 sip down) while I went to the washroom. Wasted 20 mins, 5 different waiters heard but there was no action to replace or cancel from bill 2. As another concert was about to start in 1.5 hours, the manager (6 foot high, half bald ) , comes to us and says he can give us 10 mins to vacate. I told him I'm fine to leave, but because the food just arrived, will take 20 mins and pay the bill. He was absolutely rude, wanted to push everyone out. These guys are high on their bubble popularity they've been receiving. They want to push away the guests, disappear the drink and give deadlines to vacate. Mind you, we actually paid our full bill, tabled a very good amount, but this is how they treat Do not visit, respect your self respect. This is a shallow place which wants to put water as vodka and still bill you. Disgusting that the management hasn't still got hold of such people.
