Discover Soho Gourmet Kitchen — the best Asian restaurant in Kondapur, Hyderabad, with cozy ambience, mouthwatering dishes.
How we went to Soho Gourmet Kitchen
We see the restaurant called Soho Gourmet Kitchen every time we pass Shilpa Valley. Every time he points toward it and says, “Let’s try it someday,” I ignore it with a “maybe next time.” However, that Friday night was different since neither of us had the energy to prepare. He said, “Let’s go to Soho at last.”
Ten minutes later, we were in front of Soho Gourmet Kitchen in Kondapur. Warm lights spilling out, people laughing inside, and something smelling so good I forgot I was mad.
If you’re hunting for an Asian restaurant in Hyderabad that feels calm but not boring, stylish but not pretentious — this is it.
Walking In – Calm in Every Corner
The first thing you see is this big white sculpture of a face, finger pressed to its lips, like it’s saying “Shhh.” I smiled because… well, I needed that reminder. The whole space just breathes differently like someone designed it to calm you down.
There are two floors. Downstairs is brighter, livelier. Upstairs, though, feels like another world quieter, softer lighting, couples talking over mocktails, that sort of thing.
There’s greenery hanging from the ceiling, small golden dividers with little plants, and soft bulbs glowing everywhere. It’s warm, cozy, and beautiful without trying too hard. Even the wooden flooring somehow adds to that earthy, “sit here forever” vibe.
The Drive There (and My Almost-Meltdown)
We started from Gachibowli. You know the stretch chaos, honking, everyone in a hurry. At one point I almost said, “Forget it, let’s order biryani and watch TV.” But I didn’t. And I’m so glad I didn’t.
By the time we reached Kondapur, the city noise faded. The signboard for Soho Gourmet Kitchen glowed softly. The smell of grilled chicken hit first, then music not loud, just a nice hum in the background.
Parking was surprisingly easy. You don’t realize how much that matters until you’ve done four parking loops around a restaurant on a Saturday night.
The Food (Because That’s Why You’re Here)
I didn’t even open the menu for long. I saw Lemon Chicken and it was done.
The plate arrived sizzling crispy outside, soft inside, with that lemony tang that makes you forget your diet in 0.2 seconds. I actually told my husband, “Don’t talk. Just eat this.”
Then came the Non-Veg Combo— fried rice, chilli chicken, corn pepper, sautéed veggies — the works. Every bite had that smoky, wok-tossed flavour that makes Asian food so comforting.
He ordered the Veg Combo Thali (don’t ask me why, but it was amazing). The vegetables were crunchy, the sauces weren’t overpowering, and it smelled incredible.
And dessert? Brownie with ice cream. Warm, gooey, melting vanilla over chocolate — the kind of dessert that fixes everything wrong in life.
Prices (and Why It’s Totally Worth It)
No, it’s not cheap street food. But it’s not wallet-crushing either.
Around ₹500–₹700 if you’re solo and go easy. Around ₹1,200 for two if you’re doing starters and dessert.
And for what you get — the ambience, the service, the quality — it’s completely fair.
Getting Soho Gourmet Kitchen
If you’re in or around Hyderabad, getting to Soho Gourmet Kitchen is simple:
- From Gachibowli or Hitech City, take the Kondapur Main Road via Botanical Garden.
- From Miyapur, the Hafeezpet route works fine too.
- Ola or Uber drivers all know this place — just say “Soho Kitchen” and they’ll nod like regulars.
The restaurant’s location is easy to spot, right off the main road. And yes, the parking is actually decent — which already earns it five stars in my book.
Why People Keep Going Back
Here’s the thing. Soho Gourmet Kitchen isn’t one of those “come once and forget” restaurants. It sticks with you.
The soft lights, the warm staff, the aroma that lingers long after you’ve left — it’s comforting. The servers smile like they actually mean it. They don’t rush you. They let you eat, talk, and breathe.
You know how some restaurants feel like they’re trying too hard to impress? This isn’t that. It’s just… effortlessly nice. You can come here with your family, your partner, your colleagues — or just alone, with a book. It somehow fits every mood.
And that’s what makes it, honestly, the best Asian restaurant in Kondapur.
