Main menu and brands

Around salads, it offers soups, wraps, bowls and smoothies. It has a three-acre organic farm of its own in Vasant Kunj, Delhi, and draws part of its leafy greens from there. Sourcing leafy greens of a quality safe to eat raw on a steady basis is difficult in India, which led the restaurant side to run its own fields. For a Japanese company considering a fresh-produce business in India, it shows where the procurement barriers lie.
