Mazzo Unveils a New South Indian Menu: A Rooftop Ode to Memory, Spice & Modern Craft

Hyderabad, October 31, 2025 - High above the city, where the wind carries echoes from Charminar to Durgam Cheruvu, Mazzo at Marriott Executive Apartments Hyderabad unveils a menu that feels like poetry plated. It arrives like the first rain on red earth, deeply familiar in scent, yet astonishing in the way its flavours unfold.

This is not just a new menu. It is a love letter to South India, a tapestry woven from temple-town traditions, toddy-shop boldness, coastal heat and authenticity, home-style nostalgia, and the quiet refinement of contemporary cooking.

A Menu Rooted in Memory - Crafted for Today

Curated by Chef de Cuisine Suresh Rajan Pillai, the menu reads like a map of personal heritage. Each dish carries memories from his Malaysian lineage, Madurai's festive streets, and verandas where spices bloom in shimmering oil. These are dishes shaped by stories, passed down like recipes whispered over fences and reimagined for today's discerning palate.

"Hyderabad's palate deserves craft and comfort in equal measure, and this menu delivers both with modern finesse," - Ashwin Vaidya, General Manager, Marriott Executive Apartments Hyderabad

Highlights from the Kitchen - Familiar, Yet Made New

From playful reinterpretations to bold signatures, the menu traverses the peninsula's culinary breadth:

Wild Mushroom Cappuccino

Silky, aromatic, and crowned with truffle notes and a crisp goat cheese crostini.

Tarbooz-e-Murabba

Watermelon meets pickling spice in a clever collision of sweet, tangy, and refreshing.

Rajwadi Dhungar Paneer

Smoked, seasoned, and deeply comforting - hearthside warmth served with modern polish.

Mangalorean Ghee Roast

Fiery, fragrant, unmissable. A coastal classic given its rightful spotlight.

Shahi Chicken Burger

Mughlai-spiced juiciness tucked between flaky Malabar parotta, an inventive, irresistible twist.

Sheer Khurma (Reimagined)

A festive favourite rebuilt with balance and finesse, nostalgic without being overly sweet.
