When In Rome

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is a well-known saying. But today, I am talking about the restaurant When in Rome in Hyderabad.

We recently visited the restaurant for a family outing after almost three months of not meeting each other properly. Since the children wanted to enjoy pizza and pasta together at one place, we decided to try this much-talked-about retaurant. We pre-booked our table through District, which offered a discount on the final bill.

When we reached the place, we had mixed feelings. The dining area was smaller than it appeared in the pictures online. Another thing we noticed was that there were no physical menu cards on the tables. Customers need to go to the counter and order by referring to the menu displayed on the wall.

However, the staff member taking our order was patient and helpful. She explained everything clearly — from basil sauce and pasta varieties to crust options and add-ons that would make the dishes taste better.

Gradually, our food started arriving at the table. We liked some dishes quite a lot, while a few others did not match our expectations. Still, the outing turned out to be a pleasant family get-together filled with conversations and laughter.

The total bill came to around ₹5700 for a family of five, even after the discount. For that budget, Hyderabad definitely offers several other dining options with a larger spread and ambience. But When in Rome is still worth trying at least once — especially for those who enjoy experimenting with European-style food and spending relaxed family time together.

Property- real estate in Hyderabad

In recent years, Hyderabad has emerged as one of India’s most promising and livable cities, especially for working professionals. The rapid development of areas like Financial Distt,Kokapet, Gandipet, Mokila, Rajendra Nagar, and Narsingi reflects the city’s growing importance as a major IT and residential hub.

One of the most encouraging aspects of Hyderabad’s growth is the role played by its real estate developers. Renowned builders such as Rajapushpa Properties, Aurobindo Reality,My Home Group, Prestige Group, NCC Urban , Jaibheri Group, and Sumadhura Group have significantly contributed to transforming the city’s skyline. They have not only focused on premium housing but have also ensured that quality homes are available across different budget ranges, making homeownership more accessible.

Today, buying a home in Hyderabad is no longer limited to high-income groups. Builders are thoughtfully designing projects that cater to middle-class and young working professionals, offering smart layouts, efficient use of space, and modern amenities at reasonable prices. From compact apartments to spacious gated communities, there is something for everyone.

These residential projects are more than just buildings—they offer a complete lifestyle. Facilities like in-house grocery stores, gyms, landscaped gardens, and clubhouses create a comfortable and convenient living environment. Moreover, the strategic location of these developments near IT hubs, schools, hospitals, and shopping centers adds immense value for residents.

What truly stands out is how Hyderabad balances affordability with quality. Compared to other metropolitan cities, homebuyers here get better space, better amenities, and better overall value for money. This makes the city especially attractive for young couples starting their journey together, as they can plan their future without excessive financial burden.

In addition to infrastructure and housing, the city’s charm lies in its culture—the delicious Hyderabadi Biryani, the famous Osmania Biscuits, and the warm hospitality of its people make it easy for newcomers to feel at home.

Hyderabad stands as a shining example of how urban development can be both inclusive and progressive.
