Today the kids and I along with a friend we met in Hyderabad (from Seattle) and her son ventured to Falaknuma Palace (currently operated by Taj Resorts/Hotels) for High Tea. We had the choice of English or Indian, veg or non veg. We choose English and non veg in hopes the kids would eat some of the goodies but my friend and I did enjoy some masala tea (chai tea).
We were treated to High Tea on the balcony of the Jade Room. The Nizam or the Prime Minister (I can't remember) loved Jade so there is a room painted a light green, with green furnishings and carpets. Very nice greens. The balcony is the second floor in the picture below.

Here are some pictures of our High Tea.

Then we went and played with the canons at the front of the Palace.

This was K's reaction when she saw the horse drawn carriage pull up. We didn't ride in it, but classic reaction.

Oh did I forget to mention, we all went in our Indian clothes.
