The Tribal Café launched by the Tribal Welfare Department in Hyderabad’s Masab Tank is reviving flavours that once simmered deep within Telangana’s tribal cuisine. It is more than a food stall, it is an archive of indigenous culinary memories.

Located outside the Tribal Museum at the Telugu Sankshema Bhavan, the café was inaugurated on June 10 by Women and Child Welfare Minister D. Anasuya also known as Seethakka. It is part of a larger effort by the Tribal Cultural Research and Training Institute to bring tribal traditions, especially food, into the urban mainstream while also generating employment for tribal communities.
