As the winter comes to a close, don’t miss this tour bus, Hyderabad! From the makers of Feu comes Kembara – an all-new Pan-Asian experience from Shilpa Datla and Chef Seefah. An imagination inspired by cherry blossoms, origami cranes and much more, Kembara is a culinary fantasia that explores the exquisite flavours of Asian cuisine.
Featuring Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Malay, Korean and other exclusive kitchens of Asian splendour, Kembara brings home the true tastes of rich Asian heritage.
With handpicked recipes featuring the best from various regions, Kembara is focused on the quality of delectable outcomes. “Kembara, in Malay, means ‘to wander’… to explore without any predetermined destination. It alludes to something we all yearn to do — explore the world, carefree and happy”, says Shilpa Datla. Kembara is truly a call for a delectable expedition – like a ship setting sail, as depicted on the logo itself.
Offering authentic comfort food made from indigenous recipes featuring the finest ingredients, Kembara is indeed a familiar journey that ends with the satisfaction that one finds in discovering a new destination, or sometimes even home. About the menu that features Dimsums, Sushi, Thai Curries, Ramens and many more staples, Chef Seefah of Seefah Hill Road (Mumbai) says, “There is something for everyone, and the food is comforting yet authentic. The menu adapts to the region as well and offers unique culinary options.” The chef was surely leaving a hint for all the Hyderabadis who love adding a bit of spice to their life and food.
With high ceilings and big tastes, the interior of the joint features a lot of reflective architecture and wooden embellishments that display contemporary minimalism. Meandering light fixtures and lush foliage reiterate the rustic theme of wandering into uncharted territories for authentic flavours that wait to be discovered. Kembara has done its homework to be a boutique restaurant with an optimal balance of comfort and the opulence of rich Asian culinary heritage.
With intriguing interiors, mood music, and aromas from kitchens across Asia, Kembara offers a vibrant environment that is focused on authenticity and satisfaction, served with a side of dedicated service. “I come from a family that’s invested in the business of construction, but it’s also one that loves feeding people. My background and my love for cooking led to food being one of the biggest passions in my life,” says Shilpa, the entrepreneur and dreamer behind Feu and Kembara.
