This is a refreshing new place with its lemony yellow ambiance, food and service. Between the three of us who went there, we were able to try out a variety of things. The menu is quite extensive, and realised that everything is vegetarian. 'Popeye Goes to Italy' is a must try spinach soup with Italian herbs. The Spicy Spinach and Mexican Corn soup were good too. There are cold soups on the menu as well...perhaps will try next time.
The main course offers salads, wraps and sandwiches (Zondich as they call it). After reading and re-reading the menu and taking suggestions from the staff, we zeroed in on the Kamtein High, Mad Chef's Kimchi and Cream Cheese Zondich. Kamtein High was quite different with channa and peanuts mixed with some sinful mayo and salad cream. It can get difficult for one person to finish off this salad all by themself. Low cal mayo could be an alternative. The staff expalined that the dishes are 80% health and 20% taste...not complaining at all. The Cream Cheese Zondich was very nice with salad served in an unconventional sandwich.
Now for desserts, if you love chocolate or even otherwise, Mississippi Mud is a must. This yummy chocolate cookies with chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream, topped with crunchies and nuts is sinful. The Matcha Green Tea (its not a hot drink) is refreshing.
Suprisingly, this place is not very expensive for the experience it gives. A wholesome meal for 3 of us came to Rs. 600.
This is a promising place and looks like a lot of passion gone in it. Hope the passion stays. I was quite happy to receive the no nonsense tiny bill slip, not wasting too much paper.
Location: Kasturba Nagar (from Ambika Applam turning, take left beside Nalli, end of road turn left)

Another place on the TO-GO list!! Would be great you could add the address and the directions to get to the place. :)
ReplyDeleteIts a great place and we are visiting it regularly, trying as many new dishes as we can. For directions:
ReplyDeleteWhen you are coming from Adyar signal towards Madhya Kailash, take a left at the Ramkay TVS and keep going straight till you see a automatic right turn in the road. Its just before the turn on the right.
If you are coming from Thiruvanmiyur to Adyar signal, take the left after the Mitsubishi car showroom, at the 1st crossing take left and you have it on the right hand side.
If you are coming from Madhya Kailash towards Adyar signal, take left at the Ambika Appalam depot, then left after the Nalli store, on the 1st crossing go straight and on the 2nd crossing turn right. You can see it on the right.
