Kebapci Hills brings a Turkish-Nawabi feast to Hyderabad
Now a multi-city, family-run brand, Kebapci has carved a niche for itself with its commitment to slow-cooked traditions, authentic Turkish flavors, and heartfelt hospitality. With Kebapci Hills, the brand brings not only its celebrated charcoal-grilled kebaps and house-made breads but also a regional twist that reflects Hyderabad's rich Nawabi heritage.
The restaurant's standout dish, Biber Mandi, is already creating a buzz. Infused with smoky Urfa Pepper from Türkiye, it delivers a bold, aromatic punch that bridges Eastern Turkish spice with Deccan soul. Alongside, classic offerings like the Adana Kebap, Pide, and delicate Baklava remain true to the brand's roots, while new menu exclusives nod to the city's royal palate.
Set against an opulent backdrop blending Turkish architecture with Hyderabad's regal charm, Kebapci Hills is more than a restaurant—it's a sensory journey. 'This is not just about food,' said co-founders Aasim Shah and Adeeb Shah of the Kofteci Group. 'It's about sharing our story, blending cultures, and creating something truly special.'
Whether you're a seasoned kebap enthusiast or simply hungry for something extraordinary, Kebapci Hills promises a rich dining experience that feels both global and deeply local. The spirit of Türkiye has found a soulful second home in Hyderabad.

Will Pakistan get S-400 air defense system? Turkey made a plan for F-35... what is the Russian connection?
Will Pakistan get S-400 air defense system? Turkey made a plan for F-35... what is the Russian connection? Turkey To Sell S-400 to Pakistan: Geopolitical equations are changing rapidly around the world and another big headache may emerge for India's security policy. The air defense system that protected India from air threats from Pakistan. Now the same S-400 system can go into the hands of India's enemy Pakistan. This claim has been made by a former minister of Turkey. Turkey, which bought this system from Russia for $ 2.5 billion, is now preparing to get rid of this system to build better relations with America. This matter is not just about military technology, but also indicates a new 'cold war' between India and Turkey. The bitterness in India-Turkey relations in the last decade is now openly moving towards confrontation at the level of military strategy. India and Turkey are now seen at two opposite poles of global diplomacy. Recently, when India increased diplomatic and military partnership with Turkey's rivals Cyprus and Greece, it was a clear message that India is not taking Turkey's growing closeness with Pakistan lightly. The visit of the Indian Air Force Chief to Greece and Prime Minister Modi's visit to Cyprus are part of this. At the same time, Turkey has started many military projects in collaboration with Pakistan and has also supported Pakistan on various global forums. Now selling state-of-the-art systems like S-400 to Pakistan can become a new challenge for India. Turkey wants to give up S-400, wants to get F-35 from America Turkey had made a deal for S-400 defense system from Russia in 2017, but due to this it was excluded from America's F-35 fighter jet program and also had to face CAA TSA sanctions. Now Turkey wants to improve relations with America and is developing a new multi-layer air defense system called 'Steel Dome'. 'Steel Dome' will be completely domestic, in which Turkish defense companies ASELSAN, ROKETSAN and MKE are working. Turkey has made it clear that the Russian S-400 will not be included in this system. This is an indication that Turkey is preparing to get rid of the S-400 and is trying to rejoin the F-35 program. Will S-400 be sold to Pakistan? Former Turkish Minister Cavit Caglar created a sensation by saying that Turkey should consider selling S-400 and its potential buyers could be India or Pakistan. Although he gave preference to Pakistan, but this is just speculation, not any official confirmation. The reality is that Turkey has neither been able to fully integrate S-400 into its network, nor has it activated it. In such a situation, it may think of satisfying America by selling this system. How possible is the sale of S-400 to Pakistan? However, technically and diplomatically it is not that easy. Turkey's agreement with Russia makes it clear that it cannot transfer or sell S-400 to any other country without prior permission from Russia. And getting this permission is almost impossible. Russia is not only a strategic partner of India, but it has already given India five squadrons of S-400. Russia would not want India's rival Pakistan to have the same system. Also, Pakistan is not in a financial position to buy an expensive system like the S-400. The cost of one squadron is around $500 million. On the other hand, talks are going on between India and Russia regarding additional batch of S-400 and S-500 systems. India is already the operator of these systems and Russia also trusts India. In such a situation, if Turkey wants to get rid of S-400, then India can become a viable buyer for it. Provided Russia allows it. Currently, both the S-400 units Turkey has are lying dormant and kept at an undisclosed location. Turkey does not want to activate it so that it can maintain better relations with NATO and the US.

Indore Metro Eyes Major Expansion to Boost Ridership, Financial Sustainability by Year-End
Q: Despite offering a safe, comfortable, fast, and eco-friendly ride, Indore Metro's ridership is continuously reducing. Commuters are demanding a rapid expansion of Indore Metro. What is the deadline for that? A: Any Metro project, including the one in Delhi, experiences low ridership initially; this improves significantly with track expansion and end-to-end connectivity. We aim to complete the civil works and system integration from Super Corridor's station number 3 to Radisson Hotel Square by Oct this year. Following inspection and approval from Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety, we anticipate extending Indore Metro's operations on this approximately 17.5 km-long 'Priority Corridor' by the end of this calendar year. We are hopeful of achieving considerable ridership on this stretch, as also demanded by commuters. Q: There is currently no dedicated parking facility for Indore Metro passengers. Will this discourage them from using this new mode of transportation? A: We are committed to developing parking facilities wherever feasible and have already begun identifying suitable land parcels. Furthermore, we will integrate other existing parking facilities, including those managed by Indore Municipal Corporation and Indore Development Authority and other relevant departments, to enhance convenience for Indore Metro passengers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo Q: There seems to be some confusion regarding the underground line of Indore Metro. Can you clarify? A: We finalised the plan and even awarded the contract for development of the underground line of Indore Metro, which will connect railway station to airport. The route and station locations for this underground tunnel are clearly defined and have been officially notified. Soil testing for this stretch was also completed. Q: What is the status of Automatic Fare Collection system, which was awarded to Asis Elektronik, a Turkish firm, for Indore Metro (along with Bhopal Metro), especially since the state govt has ordered an investigation to probe its link, if any, with any anti-India activity? A: The probe details were reported to Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and other concerned govt agencies. We are currently awaiting their instructions regarding this matter. Until then, manual ticketing facilities are available at Indore Metro stations. Q: The operational cost of Indore Metro currently appears to be significantly higher than the fare box revenue collection. What could be the reasons for this disparity? A: Our operational costs include fixed expenses such as electricity, security, staff salaries, and maintenance. As ridership increases and we extend operations over longer distances, the fare box collection will naturally rise, leading to a reduction in the per-kilometre operational cost. This is a common trajectory for new metro systems as they expand and gain more users. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!
