“After having relentlessly explored the idea of introducing a new world cuisine, we realized that there is no real, authentic Hyderabadi Fine Dining restaurant in the city. And after tasting tremendous success with the Jewel of Nizam restaurant at the Golkonda Hotel, we embarked on a historic culinary journey by hand picking a team of the finest khansamas (Royal Chefs) to recreate a Shahi Dastarkhwan(Royal Feast) of age-old traditional Mughlai and Afghani dishes, which were in the then Asaf Jahi era, served only to Nizami Royalty. The best part; we built a towering Minar, Hyderabad’s Fifth, as an iconic tribute to our iconic cuisine”, said Mr. N. Suresh Reddy.

Apparently, it’s not just the worldly aroma of the Mughlai & Afghani dishes that are irresistible, but the exquisitely crafted regal interiors coupled with a gorgeous view of the sunset over the tranquil Osman Sagar Lake from atop the 100 feet Minar. In all, Jewel of Nizam – The Minar is touted to be a true blue Hyderabadi Fine Dining experience in every ingredient, and this Nizami Jewel encrusted atop Hyderabad’s Fifth Minar, is poised to take apna Hyderabadi cuisine to never before culinary heights said Santosh Reddy.
