HYDERABAD: As we gear up to celebrate freedom in all its glory, can there be a better way to do it than through food? This Independence Day, restaurants in the city are doing their best to help guests experience ‘freedom of food’ through special brunches and menus. Eateries across Hyderabad are all decked up in tricoloured ambiences and even tri-coloured dishes. While few restaurants have already started rolling out unique brunch experiences to guests, others are busy making last minute preparations to ensure customers taste freedom.
Platform 65, the train-themed restaurant is offering 75 dishes this month which started from August 11. Speaking about what they have in store for their guests, Sadgun Patha, managing director and co-founder of Platform 65 says, “We are actively taking part in the celebrations and have curated about 75 special dishes. The specialty of these recipes is that we tried to keep the theme of tri-colour consistent. We have been working on this for a month and have finally been able to curate so many dishes with the theme. These varities include Chinese, North Indian, Andhra and Telangana delicacies. This tri-colour celebration will continue across all our outlets.”
