In the exponentially multiplying maze of Telugu restaurants which operate in Hyderabad today, newly-opened Theta Theta Telugu or T3 stands out with distinction and for reasons I will go into next. Partner chef Vignesh Ramachandran once again displays his OG culinary prowess validating his position on Condé Nast ‘s coveted list in 2020 of best 40 chefs under 40. And playing mentor of sorts is seasoned restaurateur Sampath Srinivas Tummala (of Spicy Venue fame) with an offbeat offering to Hyderabad this time. Chef Vignesh is a Telugu bidda who grew up in Chennai so he had the best of both cuisines (Telugu & Tamil) but at home it was mostly Telugu food and that’s where the soul of @theta.theta.telugu resides.

Kobbari Rasmalai (tender coconut jelly instead of the usual Chhena based sweet dumplings) and coconut milk acting as the base of the Rasmalai was a brilliant innovation.
