Hyderabad cuisine brand opens its sixth restaurant
Diners in Leeds can now experience the flavours of Hyderabad thanks to the launch of a new restaurant in the north of the city.
Mojo Royal Treat in Roundhay, part of the Hyderabad Wala Group, is the brand’s first restaurant to open in the north of England, taking the group’s total portfolio of eateries to six across the UK.
Head chef Sharath Naini, a specialist in Hyderabad cuisine, will lead the culinary team.
Vinay Kumar, director and owner of Mojo Royal Treat, said “We’re thrilled to bring a genuine taste of Hyderabad to the diners of Leeds with the launch of Mojo Royal Treat.
“We decided to invest in the city as it has a fantastic, eclectic culinary scene that pays homage to a breadth of different cultures – we’re really excited to be a part of it.
“The restaurant was born following years of research into Hyderabad cuisine, after which we identified a distinct lack of eateries offering a native taste of the special area of India.
“Our head chef, Sharath, has 15 invaluable years of experience in cooking delicious Hyderabad and continental dishes that perfectly reflect the culture of the region, using traditional spices and ingredients flown into the UK.
“We’re really proud to bring these authentic flavours to people in Leeds.”
The restaurant’s menu features a host of specialty dishes, including the biryani which is synonymous with the Hyderabad region.
Other traditional delicacies on the Mojo Royal Treat menu include a selection of small plates, including Karwari prawns with spices and lime and Cauliflower Kempu Bezule with Manglorean spices and yogurt, as well as mains such as markarni, rogan josh, murgh and masala dishes.
The interior of the restaurant features a function room on the first floor, which can host 40 people for a range of celebrations, as well as providing a backdrop for corporate events.
Mojo Royal Treat also offers outside catering services, with the capability to provide food for between 20 and 1,000 people.
