Off late, we've been super focused on our nutrition! Apart from better health it also got us to explore the best salad spots in the city. If you're on a health kick too or are simply craving fresh and light salads to munch on hot sunny days, here's a list of our favourite eateries and subscription services for the best salads in Hyderabad.
Light & Fresh: Our Top 8 Picks For The Best Salads In Hyderabad
Yello Life Cafe
There's a new name in town for all things organic and guilt-free, and that's the Yello Life Cafe. Bang on the busy street of Jubilee Hills, you cannot miss this building even from a distance. This cafe has an inviting warm decor with wooden accents, which we absolutely adore. It's this kind of soothing atmosphere we prefer for a salad meal. They have a variety of veg and non-veg salads to choose from —chicken, shrimp, black rice, beetroot and watermelon— with over six options on their current menu. Cherry on top? They're all farm-fresh!
LBB's Pick: Ancient Black Rice Salad and Poached Shrimp with arugula and mixed seed.
Price: INR 379 onwards
Roastery Coffee House
A cafe with a loyal foodie following for its chill ambience, Roastery makes it to our list for a light evening meal that consists of a cold brew and a salad. Sounds refreshing, right? They have four options to choose from, the only bummer is that there's only one vegetarian option.
LBB's Pick: Buffalo Mozzarella Salad and Chicken Salami Italian Salad with your choice of caffeine.
Price: INR 232 onwards
Sage Farm Cafe
Don't worry vegetarian and vegan friends, we're making up for the lack of vegetarian salad options with Sage Farm Cafe (they have only one non-veg option). As the name suggests, it's a farm-to-table cafe that only serves clean and fresh food. Seat yourself in their rustic, earthy vibe and be spoilt for choice. They have 10 options on their menu, and each one of them has organically grown greens and veggies. Not just your usual, they have experimental ones like Pesarattu Salad and Pumpkin and Podi Salad. The best part is that all of that can be made vegan upon request.
LBB's Pick: Sweet Potato Salad, The Wholesome Crunch Salad and Chickpea & Millet Salad
Price: INR 250 onwards
Concu
We bet you didn't know Concu made kickass salads, did you? Ditch your usual dessert picks, sandwiches, burgers and pizza for once and pay close attention to their menu to find their salad section. They have five different options (three veg and two non-veg) to choose from, all of which are fresh and juicy. They have multiple outlets spread throughout the city, which makes it quite convenient as well.
LBB's Pick: Summer Salad, Slow Roasted Vegetable Salad and Quinoa & Grilled Chicken Salad
Price: INR 350 onwards
Burma Burma
Love, love, love Asian cuisine? Check out Burma Burma for ah-ma-zing salads. Zing, because they're so full of unique flavours! We're talking about samosa as a salad. Bizarre, right?
