Garage Project and Satya Chai Lounge are back at it, reviving one of Auckland’s favourite pop-ups for a limited run. Open now, the Karangahape Road lounge has been transformed into Hyderabad Hotel — a vibrant nod to the spirit of India’s southern food capital, where spice, music, and conviviality reign supreme.

Expect all the cosy energy of Satya’s beloved K’ Road haunt, now paired with a full Garage Project bar pouring cult favourites and fresh additions like Zinger, a brewed alcoholic ginger beer designed to zing up the season. On the menu, street eats shine: smashed dahi puri, onion bhaji, papdi chaat, and curry fries, alongside more substantial offerings of Hyderabad fried chicken, biriyani, curries, and rotating street snacks.

True to Satya’s style, the flavours are unapologetically bold and perfect for sharing over craft brews or a chilled natural wine. With its mix of atmosphere, spice, and playfulness, Hyderabad Hotel once again promises to be a short-lived but much-loved fixture on K’ Road — best experienced before it disappears.

Hyderabad Hotel’s doors are officially open for an undisclosed period of time, so we suggest you make your way to the pop-up fairly quickly, before it’s too late. 

Opening hours:
Wednesday — Monday from 5.30pm
Closed Tuesday
