Hyderabad, June 22, 2024: Ohri’s Group announced the inauguration of Tansen, a realm where the grandeur of the Mughal era intertwines with the splendid culinary legacy of the North-Western Frontier. The restaurant draws its inspiration from the legendary musician Tansen, whose exceptional compositions and innovative spirit have captured the essence of an era and left an indelible mark on Indian Classical Music. Similar to how Tansen’s music surpassed temporal and geographical limitations, the restaurant aims to honour his legacy and bring his spirit of creativity and refinement by curating an everlasting encounter that seamlessly blends tradition, and ambience with utmost culinary brilliance.
Tansen transcended the boundaries of a mere musician. His exceptional talent encapsulated the very essence of a previous era. By paying homage to his remarkable legacy, the restaurant not only celebrates his artistic brilliance but also infuses his innovative and sophisticated spirit into our dining experience. Much like Tansen’s enchanting melodies, the establishment has been meticulously crafted to create a harmonious ambience where each meal resonates like a melodious tune, every flavour similar to a musical note, and every moment a poetic expedition. At Tansen, guests are embraced by an environment that is both poetic and serene. The gentle flow of water adds a soothing rhythm to the air, while live Sufi singers serenade you with heartfelt melodies. The decor, adorned with shades of gold, reflects the majestic elegance of the Mughal courts. Inspired by the lyrical beauty of Urdu, our language and service embody the grace and charm of a bygone era.
Guests can indulge in a diverse array of dishes, including the Sundried Tomato & Smoke Cheese Kulcha and the robust Hyderabadi Marag—a spicy mutton soup infused with hazelnut and rose essence. The main course features specialities like the Green Chicken Curry, known for its tantalizing blend of chilli, coriander, and raw mango, and the historic Pathar-ka-Gosht, traditionally cooked on flat granite stones. Innovative creations like the Edamame & Green Peas Kebab, a fusion of Middle Eastern and Indian flavours, and the Pepper Fish, marinated to perfection with a peppery twist and served with applewood smoked pineapple chutney, add to the allure.
Mr. Amar Ohri, Owner of Ohri’s Group, stated, “At Tansen, we immerse you in a world where the opulence of the Mughal era meets the rich culinary heritage of the North-Western Frontier.
