I have always had a complicated relationship with vegetables. Growing up in a Bengali-Muslim household meant that my family dinner table was typically brimming with meat curries, kebabs and beef. Tons of it. And so, my palate warmed up to vegetarian food only once I started living on my own. As I see the world around me shift speedily towards a more plant-forward future, I find it imminent to acquaint myself with this type of food. And because I cannot yet try the all-vegan menu at 11 Madison Park—earlier this year, the famed New York-based restaurant announced that it was removing meat from the menu, making waves in the F&B industry—yet, I decided to do the next best thing. Have lunch at Mumbai's newest plant-based hotspot, Greenr Cafe.
A California-based brand, Greenr Cafe has been around in India since 2015, with outlets in NCR. And I can imagine how the rise in trends towards healthier foods and lifestyles (especially post-pandemic) may have accelerated their entry into Mumbai's foodscape. Of course, Bandra—a neighbourhood that is characterised by its hip, almond-milk-latte-sipping, Pilates-loving crowd—is a reasonable choice for a brand such as this one. Plus, it sits perfectly inside Bandra's serpentine lanes and beside cutesy little shops selling colourful knick-knacks.
