Restaurant India News: Hyderabad’s Ta.Ma.Sha Café Brings Korean Tofu, Kimchi Pizza & Retro Vibes to the Table

Hyderabad’s Gunrock neighbourhood has a new entrant in its F&B scene: Ta.Ma.Sha – Asian Veg Café. The newly launched venue offers a vegetarian-only pan-Asian menu and combines that with a retro-themed setting, live music programming, and open-air seating designed to appeal to a broad demographic, including families, Gen Z consumers, and pet owners.

Positioned as an all-vegetarian concept, Ta.Ma.Sha’s menu spans various Asian cuisines including Korean, Thai, Japanese, and fusion-inspired dishes. The café’s founders have curated the menu around food trends gaining popularity on digital platforms, particularly focusing on dishes that align with seasonal preferences and visual presentation.

Dishes include Korean Chilli Tofu, Korean-style Paneer, Thai Green Curry with rice, and Japanese Cottage Cheese Katsu. Western adaptations like the Veggie Thin-Crust Pizza and Kimchi Pizza add global flair. Desserts feature Thai Mango Sticky Rice and an Ice Cream Bun Sandwich topped with chocolate sauce. The beverage program includes mocktails like the Rose Cooler and Cucumber Fizz. A separate Jain-friendly menu also caters to specific dietary requirements, offering curated versions of signature dishes.

“We wanted to create a place that’s more than just a café – something that speaks to the soul,” says AK. Solanky, Co-founder, Ta.Ma.Sha.

“Our vision with Ta.Ma.Sha was to bring together all the things we love — delicious Asian vegetarian food, great music, and a space that sparks creativity and connection,” adds Mahender Vyas, founder, Ta.Ma.Sha.

The interiors combine retro design with curated visual elements — from vintage television sets and retro cameras to bamboo lighting and wall-mounted guitars. The café features both open-air seating and an indoor lounge, supported by regular acoustic performances by local artists. Visuals projected behind the live music stage add to the nostalgic appeal.

The property includes a pickleball court, further positioning the café as a multifunctional hangout destination. In line with growing hospitality trends, the café is also pet-friendly. Ta.Ma.Sha aims to cater to a range of customers — from vegetarians and flexitarians to those seeking new formats in casual dining. Its offering reflects an increasing demand for experiential, visually engaging, and dietary-specific F&B spaces in urban India.
