SRIPRIYA & ADITYA REDDY

AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF HYDERABAD'S CULINARY SCENE, THIS ENTERPRISING COUPLE HAS INTRODUCED THE SOUTHERN CAPITAL TO NOUVELLE CONCEPTS THAT ARE CHANGING THE CITY'S GOURMET SCENE. HELLO! MET THE DUO FOR A QUICK TÊTE-À-TÊTE ABOUT THEIR LOVE FOR FOOD AND WHAT DRIVES THEM TO REACH GREATER HEIGHTS

Aditya and Sripriya Reddy hail from some of the most noteworthy real estate families in Hyderabad. When the two tied the knot, many assumed they would take on the mantles of their family businesses, but the couple surprised watchers by foraying into F&B, a fickle industry in a city dominated by a handful of players who had made entering this select club almost impossible.

Today, the duo have managed to open two of Hyderabad’s most popular eateries, introducing culinary concepts that people wouldn’t have ever imagined would survive in a market where biryani rules the roost. Taro and Tiger Lily, the restaurants nurtured by the Reddys, are the toast of the town, with several new projects coming up, contributing to the ever-evolving gastronomic scene in Hyderabad. The couple share tales of their journey and their plans for the future with HELLO!.

ADITYA REDDY

Tell us about your foray into F&B and what the journey has been like so far. We identified a need for an upscale bistro concept in Hyderabad and filled that gap by launching Tiger Lily. Although the first Covid lockdown hit us hard, we navigated the challenges through innovation and learning, resulting in continued growth during the pandemic. It’s been an encouraging journey as we shaped the city’s dining scene with our unique concepts.
