Minerva Coffee Shop, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad

Hyderabad is known for it Biriyani. Hyderabad is revered for its typical Andhra cuisine. Hyderabad is famed for its spice. The spice however can sometime
s get to you, and after two to three spicy, hot culinary experiences, the time may be just right for food that is light and easy on the stomach, but at the same time extremely delicious. Minerva Coffee Shop is just that oasis that you may be looking for.
A restaurant that has stood the test of time as one of the best places in Hyderabad where one can sample some light, delicious vegetarian South Indian delicacies.

Minerva coffees shop has nice comfortable seating becoming of the cuisine that they serve. They have sofas, instead of the usual chairs and you have more than enough space to seat yourself and enjoy your meal. Service is also prompt as is I guess the norm for this sort of a place. What really struck me was the menu card, which had an interesting caricature promising a culinary journey.
I sampled the Paper Dosa and some Button Idlis when I went to Minerva Coffee shop for break fast. The dosa was crisp, thin and very tasty, just right for a sumptuous breakfast. The experience rivalled that of a Sarvanna Bhavan in Chennai. The button Idlis were served hot and swimming in a bowl of Sambhar. Very tasty. Again a fantastic breakfast dish.
We finished off our breakfast with some traditional filter coffee which is of course a must in a place like Minerva Coffee Shop. Definitely a must try if you are looking for a good breakfast in Hyderabad and get some relief from the spicy Biriyani and Andhra meals.
A meal for two at Minerva Coffee Shop will cost you approximately Rs 200/-
How to get there: Minerva Coffee Shop in on Himayatnagar X Roads in Himayatnagar, Hyderabad. It is right on the main road and is pretty much a landmark. Your auto/ cab driver should easily be able to locate it.
