tabula rasa

this place is heavenly with greatmusicand good food.
very well maintained. would recommend to book the seats in advance. the food is good in quantity and quality.
they will charge you 500/- as an entry fee if there is a livemusicschedule, trust me it's totally worth it.

a must have experience in hyderabad.

pros:
livemusicand ambience
decent service and food

cons:
unprofessional management

dont forget that at the end of the day you still run a hospitality business and making sure guests are comfortable is sacrosanct

1. when i called to reserve a table, they said you can walk in and occupy any available table as they dont take reservations for couples
2. when i reached early and asked for a table, they said we can only sit at the bar as there are no tables
3. there were a lot of tables empty with the “reserved” tag on them. the “management” (mis management team would be the right term) has no idea how and where to seat guests
4. be transparent in your reservation policy and dont scam people into paying the cover charge first and fending for themselves once inside
5. i remember this place used to be rated above 4.5 at some point in time. its sad to see its dipping below 4.2 and surprised why it hasnt fallen below 4 with the level of crappy attitude their management demonstrates

no offence intended. learn from your mistakes and try to offer better experience for your guests.

loved the place and well taken care by rajesh he was too polite made our day livemusicwas awesome food was also good overall awesome experience

was pretty crowded on a weekday. i like this place, no it's not the ambience nor food (not that i have any complaints about the food)..it's the crowd,musicand the vibe! do not know if it was confined to that particular day but the trippy house and the happy crowd made for a much deserved break from my stressful schedule. would certainly go again. heard some good reviews about a nice band that plays there on the weekend. cheers!

i’ve been wanting to go to this place for a long time now! finally made it last night for the electromusicparty!!
ambience was good
only disappointing thing was that the serving staff wasn’t attentive enough
i ordered for a spicy chicken pizza, which lacked chicken and was entirely topped with onions and bell peppers.
great party but slow serving.

a perfect date night place!
so, my boyfriend got me here and he's a vegetarian, so we had tried pretty much everything in the veg menu by the end of the night.
no doubt, the food is brilliant here. service is on point and well, well, well! what i loved the most was subtle livemusicwhich gives you a chance to talk to your partner yet at the same time have a great time.

good place!!

this place!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ if you want a place for a romantic date, don't look further. this is brilliant. we went on a livemusicnight of shiv menon and they have plenty of other artists also playing on different days. it was wow! and food. i have to say, excellent food. i don't have pictures because we were not in a mood to click or even check phones!
the cocktails are superb and strong enough. and the staff is very friendly and polite.
on a whole a very classy place! ❤️ it's fine dining btw...so it will cost you some, but according to hyderabad standards for places in banjara...it's quite worth it!

absolute fun place. their livemusicand ambience is a perfect delight with friends and great crowd too.

went for a casual visit at around 8 on a tuesday night. there was livemusicbut i think it was supposed to start after 9 .

the place was relatively full even for such an early timing. not big a place , but looks pleasing aesthetically. no ac's here but you do have the water sprays to cool you off. not everyone likes these though. the feeling of water/mist being sprayed right above you while taking a bite doesn't go down well for me.

coming to food, we ordered a rosemary and garlic grilled chicken and a cheese stuffed onion ring. and for drinks a nutella shake and a honey ginger iced tea.

rosemary & garlic grilled chicken- the aroma of rosemary was amazing in the dish but the hard chicken pieces didn't do justice to the dish. the smaller chicken pieces were soft but the bigger ones were too hard and it was difficult to cut them by knife.

onion rings- these were good with cheese stuffing but i have had better .

nutella shake - best one of the night. good flavours of nutella and the lady loved it.

honey ginger iced tea- the initial few sips had a good taste of the honey ginger and the strong tea but after some time it got too watered down and tasted bland.

the service was quick but the overall experience didn't go down well.

you have high expectations when visiting a place rated 4.3 on zomato but it didn't feel like that to me.

i'm going for 3 stars for this experience , but, i'll give this one another chance .

food -3/5
drinks-3/5
ambiance-3.5/5
service-4/5

it was my first visit to a livemusicplace. ambience was good. initially place was empty but eventually it got fully crowded.
we had some mocktails & cocktails along with different type of starters. cocktails were fine but for mocktails like cranberry & mango it tasted like they used some flavours instead of the original drink.

i would recommend this place for a gang looking out for spending some masti time with friends along with music.

wonderful place,friendly staff,amazing livemusicand cozy place for a couple,non veg appetizers are so stunning and alcohol is at the best price.

absolutely loved the place, great music, good food and appealing ambience. the crowd was exceptional and the livemusickept everyone hooked. would recommend the place anytime and to everyone.
i think i’m gonna be visiting this place quite often now.

tabula rasa cafe & bar,

wonderful place with livemusic, with regional band. food is good but the star of the evening is definitely the music. reservation is mandatory here, otherwise you might end up standing and having food enjoying the music.

there was some nice technomusicplaying ! but the drinks served were not so great!! they don't understand what they have to do with drinks! all that i asked for is smirnoff with sprite and they served it with water! i would have given it a 5 but this was disappointing.. plus i ordered chicken pizza and there was no chicken in the pizza at all !! very disappointing

this is the place for many live events andmusicgatherings. situated amidst a green cover of jubilee hills with rocky and natural vibes. it has an ambiance to fall for. it is expensive a bit but worth every penny spent when it comes to live performances.

music lovers must visit
