HOSA Filter Coffee Club Launched in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Hosa, the modern South Indian restaurant known for its contemporary exploration of regional flavours and traditions, brings the Hosa Filter Coffee Club to Hyderabad, an experience that brings the ritual of South Indian filter kaapi into focus. Designed as a slow, sensory pause in the day, the club highlights coffee not as a quick beverage, but as a moment to linger, connect, and savour. Served from a cart on the patio outside the restaurant, the club goes beyond serving coffee to explore the craft and culture behind the brew through curated tastings, brewing rituals, pairings and community-led experiences.

Filter coffee has long been part of everyday life in South India, brewed patiently, shared generously, and woven into the rhythm of daily conversations. At Hosa, this tradition takes centre stage where freshly ground coffee blended with chicory is brewed into a rich decoction, paired with boiling milk, and poured using the iconic dabara–tumbler. The coffee experience is also complemented by a selection of South Indian-inspired bites including Onion, Nellore, Egg and Chicken Bhajis, Murukku Sandwich and Banana Jaggery Tea Cakes.

The menu also comes with an array of Chef Harish’s much-awaited crispy benne dosas in innovative flavours such as Karam Podi, Karevepaku Podi, Chicken Ghee Roast, Spinach and Corn Cheese, Mutton Kothu Kari, amongst others.

A major part of the experience will be the brewing ritual at the cart, where freshly prepared decoction is poured and frothed in the traditional tumbler and dabara. The experience unfolds each evening at the Hosa Filter Coffee cart at the Loft with visible decoction stations, brass service ware, and storytelling around beans, blends, and brewing methods, transforming a simple cup of coffee into a shared ritual.

Speaking about the launch, Harish Rao, Brand Chef, Hosa, shares, “Filter coffee is deeply personal to anyone who has grown up in the South; it’s more than just a beverage; it’s a daily ritual. At Hosa, we’ve chosen not to modernise it, but to give it the honour it deserves. We’ve paired these brews with snacks that complement them effortlessly, from our much-awaited benne dosas, in all the varieties you crave like karam podi, karavepaku cheese podi, mutton kothu kari, to lighter options such as spinach and corn cheese dosa, along with nostalgic favourites like egg and nellore bhaji there is something for everyone to enjoy.”

Varun Sharma, Head of Bars of EHV International, adds, “With the Hosa Filter Coffee Club, we wanted to approach filter coffee with the same level of precision and respect that we bring to our bar program focusing on extraction, texture, and depth of flavour. At the same time, it’s about creating a space where

people can slow down and truly engage with what’s in their cup. This is not just coffee service; it’s an immersive ritual that celebrates both craft and culture.”
