Taj Falaknuma Palace

This was the ultimate palace in Hyderabad but today, it is an exquisite hotel.  

You need to make an appointment, if you are not a hotel guest, to dine in their restaurant.  A very strict check would be done at the entrance and if your name is not on the list, it would be goodbye for the day.

If you pass through the entrance check point then it is wonderful to be transported on a royal carriage to the entrance of the palace, where you would welcomed warmly.

The amazing view of Hyderabad 

You would be covered with rose petals as you walked up the staircase

Sweet, isn’t it?

English Hi-Tea.  Tasteless!
Food was presented beautifully but that’s just it. In my opinion, they focused on quantity and not quality. For the price you have to pay, quality should have been the top of the list. I was MOST disappointed.

The palace slowly lights up as the sun sets

A well decorated fine-dining restaurant

Loved the painting, not the desserts!

Sunset was amazing
