Nizami Food gets Farzified

The hush-hush Hyderabad winter has given way to a radiant spring time. The weather is perfect, neither too hot, nor too cold. This is the best time of the year to indulge in some great Hyderabadi food. Of course Hyderabad is one city where food overpowers everything all the year round. To the extent that sometimes there is an overdose of Hyderabadi food. You often wish for a relief or a re-churning of things. Or at least a re-think.

Khatti Dal Cappuccino, Tomato Foam, Curry Leaf Dust

Paneer Pakeeza, Gongura Pickle Mayo

In all of this, Farzi café Hyderabad celebrates the colourful and effervescent Nizami Food Festival by bringing together royal and authentic flavours from the Nizami cuisine. The food festival offers authentic delicacies from Nizami cuisine ranging from soups, main course and desserts to choose from. But when it is Farzi Cafe we are talking about, trust them to shake things up a bit. Normal is boring, as they say. So the Farzification of Hyderabadi food is what some of us bloggers experienced yesterday. Each dish presented itself like a bouquet of the choicest colour, flavour, texture and creativity.
