Katha is a Banjara Hills coffee shop and bakehouse with a separate record-store and listening component. The Listening Room was set up with The Revolver Club and gives Hyderabad a place to browse records, hear them properly and join scheduled music sessions.
The programme draws on 1960s and 1970s records, vinyl DJ sets, live music and occasional open-mic events. The exact playback chain has not been published. The useful detail is the room’s function: it is a working record shop and lounge with refreshed selections, rather than a café using vinyl only as visual shorthand.
Coffee, food and conversation are part of the space, so this is not a silent listening salon. Visit during a dedicated vinyl session for the strongest music focus, or use the room as a place to explore records without nightclub volume.
