We thank the entire city of Hyderabad and everyone from all around the globe who supported us all through, who believed in us and in our establishment. We both had a great ride since the start of conceptualising, making, designing, constructing, marketing and running the cafe since 6 years when we started to build this from scratch.. You all were a great part in that beautiful rollercoaster ride! We believe our cafe has been serving all you guys well since 4.5 years of being in the business end.
We requested Times Food and Nightlife Awards 2022 to Delist us as the winner for the category “Best Ambiance - Casual Dining”. We are very sorry we are unable to accept such an honour. In fact this was the first time we got nominated since 2017. We were never acknowledged much with awards previously and we feel we are better off without them. We apologise the entire judging panel of these awards for not accepting what they gave us. Today its time we have to stand tall for what we believe in and for all of you who stood strong for us. Team Vantage has been a strong family we had from the start and without their effort and energy, it wouldn’t have been possible. We believe that our cafe is not just about the ambiance but in fact it takes a lot and lot more to make one and run one for all of you to meet at a space with a Vibe in the concrete jungle, to have a great time conversing, enjoy a warm and an honest meal and chill out with some cool music!
It would be usual to take this best ambiance award for the architecture and design that we ourselves did for this cafe, but it would be selfish on our part for not acknowledging the hardwork and sweat that our entire staff had invested in this entity since years. We never had a mindset that awards will only be your badges of honour, but our honour comes from serving you guys and this city Right !
So we apologise everyone for letting this award down.
Thank you 🙏
