Our story

From chrysalis to butterfly

Papilio opened its doors in October 2023, in Excise Colony, Hanamkonda. It was — and is — a two-craft idea: a patisserie and a café under one warm roof.

The name is Latin for swallowtail butterfly, and the story of the place unfolds the way a butterfly does — patiently, then all at once.

The room

A room people describe by feeling

From the opening month, guests have reached for the same few words — cozy, aesthetic, Instagram-worthy decor, a peaceful atmosphere. That is the language of a room that works.

It is set for unhurried hours: coffee with a book, brunch dates with friends, one last dessert from the counter before heading home.

The craft

One menu, two counters

The kitchen side leans continental and reads the way a kitchen thinks — focaccia sandwiches, porcini mushrooms grilled with cheddar, harissa paneer carrying the heat.

The patisserie side is cream and patience: macarons, éclairs, tarts and celebration cakes, with whipped-cream patisserie running through the café's own Instagram feed.

The founders

Two crafts, one roof

Papilio was opened in October 2023 by Radha Suvidha and Chef Siddhartha Reddy — patisserie and kitchen, respectively, as the café's own Instagram bio introduces them.

The tagline there is the shortest version of this story: Patisserie | Café.

Really happy to know you had such a good experience at PAPILIO… we always want people to feel relaxed, comfortable, and enjoy good food with a peaceful vibe

Chrysalis to butterfly

A café opens the way a butterfly does — slowly, then all at once. Keep scrolling, and the wings open with the page.

That is the pace we try to keep — dough given time to rise, custard torched under a glass sugar top, and a room meant for lingering.
