While eating your fresh-baked glazed doughnut (God are they good!), watch the entire doughnut-making process from a glass-viewing area in the theatre. Watch how crispy doughnuts move along the conveyer belt from one stage to the next, finally flipping over and passing through a waterfall of glaze. Enjoy it with a hot or fresh beverage — buy one doughnut at Rs44 or take away a dozen at Rs450 onwards.

Experience the finest Haleem, an ancient recipe that delighted people around the world with its rich aroma, texture and taste. Crafted by a master chef to suit your palate, look forward to indulging in the Hyderabadi Haleem — coarse lamb mince cooked with whole wheat, lentils and a special Hyderabadi Garam Masala or enjoy the satiating Raan Ka Haleem — a leg of lamb pounded and cooked with lentil and whole wheat and spiced, or the Murgh Ka Harrisa — Haleem made with chicken pounded with traditional ingredients. Vegetarians can treat themselves to Subz Haleem — whole wheat and lentils pounded with garden fresh vegetables and cooked in clarified butter and flavoured with Garam Masala or Arbi Ka Haleem — Coloccacia boiled and pounded, cooked with traditional spices, a delicacy of Hyderabad. The chef suggests that these mouth-watering Haleems are best enjoyed with Khamiri Roti or Nan-e-Bah Kumach.
