What people say, in short
Exotica is a fine dining restaurant that locals often recommend for dinner, especially in the evenings, with the Banjara Hills branch coming up most. People praise the food, the family-friendly vibe and the romantic rooftop, though some note the rooftop is so dim you can barely read the menu or see your food. One local who visited felt it was overpriced and that the food did not justify the cost, so it may suit ambience-seekers more than value-seekers.
