    🎀 The main Arambol street can be a bit overwhelming from time to time... 🤪 The traffic, crazy motorcycle drivers, shop owners trying to pursue you into buying something... One of the best ways to take a little break from it is to climb to the Shantaram's rooftop. ☀️ Very chilled atmosphere. Nice music that's not too loud (quite important to me) - so that you can journal or read a book without distractions. The staff is polite & kind. And the food really tasty. My favourite is the "Walnut maca smoothie bowl" - with yummy figs on top... You'll end up feeling full but not heavy for sure! :) The owner is there most of the time - very smiley & welcoming. Her art pieces are shown there - very cool! 🪷 A place is nicely decorated, clean & has a lot of beautiful plants. 🌿

    Omg 🤤 I wish I could rate this 6/5 stars! Wow! This restaurant reminds me of chic cafes in Miami Beach, but this is actually affordable.. and tastier. The food is so fresh and delicious and made with love. 💜 The workers are kind and attentive and not over bearing. The kitchen is open so you can see the freshness of the food and the cleanliness of everything. I have high standards when it comes to vegan/raw food, and this place truly knows what they are doing. I can’t recommended enough! I stayed in arambol 3 nights and came here 5 times… that speaks for itself. ✨🙏 I ordered the americano everyday which is 2 full cups for only 110 rupees. I also got the Moringa Avocado Smoothie Bowl with mango and strawberries every day. It’s to die for 🤤 — it’s rich with nutrients and goodness. Ask for extra ice if you like it cold. Everything else on their menu is fabulous as well. Those are just my two faves. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. Enjoy!

    I’m so happy to have discovered this beautiful cafe. It offers some amazing vegan smoothie bowls and plant based thali. Loved the masala chai so much that i went back the next day . The owners have put a lot of heart and soul into their food and the space . Will definitely keep going back .

    The prices are a little bit higher than in other restaurants around but considering that there are few that serve raw and vegan dishes, it is worth it. I ordered raw hummus and raw zucchini pasta pesto and they were delicious. Of course nuts cannot be considered strictly raw food (all nuts are dried with high temperature) and they use nuts a lot but it is still the best i found around. I kind of tired eating only green salad and fresh juice, so was very exited to eat here.

    Lovely relaxing cafe, however the staff wasn't friendly. I tried banoffee cheesecake and sushi, both were yummy. The atmosphere is chill and comfy.

    I love their cakes (especially the 🌈 cake). They have different kinds all vegan, gluten- and sugar free (as far as I understood) and they are delicious 😋Ok they are costlier than "normal" cake but then they also use high quality ingredients. Try the cold chai latte with coconut milk. It's addictive

    Had been waiting for this restaurant to be reopened after the lockdown and finally had the chance of visiting this lovely place today and enjoyed each and every item that was ordered. Raw vegan thali was full filling and enriching. Beetroot soup makes you high 😉 and the Carrot juice gives you the feeling of inner joy. I highly recommend you to visit this raw vegan restaurant if you are visiting Arambol and I would be definitely visiting this place often for sure

    Don't miss this place when in arambol goa . It's a peaceful, vibrant, artistic place and full of positive vibes. Loved everything with this place, right from tasty and healthy food to atmosphere and the service. Everything here is vegan and raw It's equally tasty, too. So one can indulge without any regrets 😁

    The only one and the best raw rest in Goa ❤️

  • 5/5 Vladimir F. 11 months ago on Google
    Very cozy place on rooftop in the center of Arambol. Beautiful view, fresh atmosphere, rich decoration in interior. Low tables with pillows and martasses around are very comfy. Meals though expensive, are served in big portions, and are very tasty. Latte ice chai is the best!!! Stuff is friendly delightful, and executive. There is very nice option of combining ingredients (out of the dozen options) of the main meal - raw salad.

    Great raw vegan food. Very tasty. The staff was slightly aloof though. And it would have been great if someone would have spoken to us about the concept and history of the restaurant. Slightly expensive...

    Nice, calm rooftop cafe with very good music and chill vibe. The food is amazing, so fresh, so vital! The special salad is a must! They have a very good chai as well.

    Beautiful location but the food wasn’t that tasty in my opinion. I wouldn’t come back again.

  • 5/5 Dilpreet S. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a brilliant place for RAW Vegan food. The food is so refreshing as there is no frying , deep frying for making any item. Its pure RAW. The smoothies and Salads are just out of this world. You would have never experienced anything like this before.

    This place is amazing! Came here 3 years ago and happy to know they rode out covid, and even have a new roof now! The most soul-full food in the Arambol Area - 6/5 :) (their whole menu is also Gluten-Free)
