There’s a new table to come home to Orlo, The Indian Cuisine Restaurant, where every meal feels like family and every flavour says “Aur lo.” Designed as a celebration of India’s culinary heritage and spirit of togetherness, Orlo invites guests to gather, share, and rediscover the joy of dining.
Born from the founders’ desire to create an intimate and inclusive space, Orlo captures the soul of Indian hospitality, where generosity and connection are the true ingredients of every dish. It’s a place that feels as warm as home and as lively as an evening with friends.
Orlo’s menu pays homage to India’s regional diversity through its three defining pillars, Community-Forward, Honest, and Vibrant. Every plate at Orlo is a reflection of India’s rhythm: playful, colourful, and bursting with authenticity. From soulful curries to spiced tikkas and nostalgic desserts, the food honours tradition while embracing contemporary sensibilities.
Orlo transforms through the day, offering two distinct yet harmonious experiences.
By Day, it’s a bright and cheerful urban mess-style restaurant serving wholesome thalis and regional set meals from Punjab, Rajasthan, Bengal, and Assam. The focus is on quick, fresh, and nourishing food that comforts and delights.
By Night, Orlo evolves into a spirited highball bar and elegant dining space overlooking Hyderabad’s iconic Cable Bridge and Durgam Cheruvu. Evenings here flow effortlessly — from sundowners to conversations over cocktails. Each drink at the highball bar is “high on India,” inspired by quarter bottles from thekas, fizzy sodas from paan shops, and summer banta nostalgia, reimagined into refreshing, playful mixes.
Orlo is part of Vikksit Hospitality, a new-age group built on the philosophy of “Intentional Hospitality” — creating genuine human connections through warmth and authenticity. Every detail, from the interiors to the interactions, is designed to make guests feel welcomed, valued, and part of a larger community.
