Say Hello to New Restaurants in Town
Hwealth Cafe
Their tagline says “Eat well. Live well” and their menu offers healthy salads, appetisers, sandwiches, wraps and more. Meet Hwealth Cafe, whose motto could well be Health is Wealth. Granola bowls, Tuna salads, high protein power smoothies, fruit and vegetable detox cleansers, low-calorie grilled sandwiches, and meat platters with Chettinad Chicken and Thai Basil chicken on it, are some of the menu highlights. Every dish on the menu is accompanied by a calorie counter that takes stock of the amount of proteins, fibres, and carbs you are consuming in each portion.
Bundar
Another day. Another restaurant called Monkey. This time it is the hindi name for the monkey i.e. Bundar. The restaurant {launching this month} is a fast food space that will offer everything from spicy vada paos to hearty burgers with a global twist. So look out for this monkey business!
Sotally Tober
The decor here is slightly tipsy what with chairs perched on walls, paint splattered tables, and teapots moonlighting as sources of light. The cocktail menu reads like a mishmash of influences such as Sour Chai {whiskey, black tea, sweet and sour}, Tober Chocolate Fudge {tequila, chocolate, Triple Sec and ice cream} or Tiffanies {whiskey, orange marmalade, cardamom and honey}. from their bites , look out for the alcohol-infused ones that are sure to elicit a chic or two from you. Soto Corn on the Cob {corn tossed with an in-housespice mix and drizzled with vodka} or Soto Chicken Sausage {spicy chicken sausage and potatoes in a brandy sauce}.
