Picture this: you are at a restaurant with a view of Durgam Cheruvu, digging into a steaming bowl of Maggi. At Café Delhi Heights in Inorbit Mall, that is exactly what awaits you. Only, this is no ordinary two-minute Maggi — it is their signature ISBT (Inter State Bus Terminus) makhani Maggi, served in a generous pasta bowl. And while you are at it, do not miss their indulgent pecan toastie.
Curious about why Maggi needed a makhani makeover, I decided to order it. Fifteen minutes later (because let’s be honest, even regular Maggi never takes two minutes), my bowl arrived — glossy with ghee and smelling suspiciously like butter chicken masala. One bite in, and all I could think was: why? Why did Maggi need this? And why, despite not being part of the ‘young crowd’ the staff insisted loves this dish, did I go along with it?
Café Delhi Heights has plenty to choose from — Punjabi kadhi chawal, Punjabi palak choley, Jammu special rajma rice, pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and more. So there is absolutely no need to follow Gen Z’s picks. The café, done up in soothing pastel greens, offers comfortable seating, a view of the lake on one side and the mall on the other, making it the perfect spot to wind down after a shopping spree.
I quickly redeemed my palate with a plate of spicy garlic chicken wings that vanished in minutes. Next came the grilled chicken for me and a chicken jumbo lollipop for my colleague — both dishes left us grinning in satisfaction.
And because no Hyderabadi meal feels truly complete without chai, I wrapped it all up with a steaming cup of adrak wali chai (ginger masala tea) and a vada pav. As the rain began to fall outside, it felt like the perfect finish to the afternoon.
Prices start at ₹250.
