And the award goes to...Majeed Pista House, Hyderabad! While cheery hoteliers from Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Pondicherry look on, Hyderabad revels in the glory amid a few envious glances. After all, we are talking about the South India Hospitality Awards. It picks hoteliers who deliver the highest standards of service to customers in segments such as these: best mineral water, best mid-day meal, best haleem, best budget hotel or best tiffin centre. An “utter rush of exhilaration” is how attendees describe the awards, while an elated M.S. Nagaraju, the managing director of Epicurus, a luxury Hyderabad restaurant, calls it “sensitivity to hygienic food”.
