5/5 Jatin S. 5 years ago on Google
From
Pune
to
Hyderabad
and
now
in
Mumbai
-
I
am
talking
about
the
amazing
new
restautant
opened
in
Bandra
Kurla
Complex
at
the
First
International
Financial
Centre
- Santé Spa
Cuisine.
Located
right
besides
Smoke
House
Deli,
Busago
and
Masala
Library
you
will
find
this
restaurant
which
promotes
Honestly
Healthy!
Santé
in
French
means
Health.
And
Spa
Cuisine
is
actually
a
Spa
for
your
body
from
within,
because
you
are
eating
so
healthy.
The
best
part
is
that
the
ingredients
have
been
handpicked
and
chosen
so
well
that
you
don't
compromise
on
the
taste
one
bit,
at
the
same
time
enjoy
a
guilt
free
indulgence at Santé Spa
Cuisine. Chef
Shailendra
Kekade
who
has
also
been
the
executive
chef
for
Pune
outlet
has
been
the
mastermind
behind
this
and
he
has
indeed
done
a
fantastic
job
of
curating
an
amazing
menu
which
you
can
enjoy.
The
restaurant
has
plenty
of
Vegan
and
Gluten
Free
options
besides
vegetarian
which
is
again
not
very
common,
so
a
treat
for
them
as
well.
Moving
straight
to
a
variety
of
vegetarian
and
vegan
dishes
that
I
tried
-
We
started
with
some
Energetic
Beverages
-
Chilled
Vegan
Turmeric
Coco
Latte,
Activated
Charcoal
Lemonade,
Pineapple
Spinach
Spearmint
Black
Pepper
and
Activated
Charcoal
with
Coconut.
All
of
these
in
tasting
portions.
Out
of
all,
I
personally
loved
the
Vegan
Turmeric
Coco
Latte
-
a
brilliant
combo
of
turmeric
and
coconut.
Also
the
Activated
Charcoal
Lemonade
was
really
nice.
Moving
to
appetisers
-
we
started
with
the
"Star
Dish"
of
the
evening
-
Beetroot
and
Spinach
Hummus
served
with
Multi-grain
Khakra.
I
loved
both
the
vegan
hummus
made
in
virgin
olive
oil
and
the
mutli-grain
khakra
was
too
good.
The
combination
was
to
die
for.
Being
a
Gujarati,
it
was
the
first
time
I
enjoyed
Khakra
so
much
other
than
the
usual
way
we
are
used
to
have
it
with
ghee,
etc.
Again
a
brilliant
fusion
of
Lebanese
with
Indian
food.
Next
we
jumped
to
Asian
cuisine
-
Dimsums
and
had
two
varieties
of
it
-
Carbon
Dimsums
and
Crunchy
Chlorophyll
Dimsums.
Charcoal
Dimsums
were
activated
charcoal
tapioca
steamed
with
black
olive
&
hot
black
bean
with
garlic.
Again
something
healthy
and
can
be
had
to
detox
your
body! Chlorophyll
Dimsums,
as
the
name
would
suggest
green
in
color
and
had
vegetable
filling
-
broccoli,
pok
choy,
baby
spinach.
I
personally
preferred the
later
one.
Moving
away
from
starters,
we
tried
couple
of
Salads.
I
personally
don't
prefer
eating
salads,
but
was
open
to
trying
on
chef's
special
recommendation.
We
tried
the
Mediterranean
Quinoa
Salad
and
Spaghetti
of
Vegetables.
The
Quinoa
salad
besides
quinoa
of
course
had
Apples,
Walnuts,
Cranberries,
Rocket
Leaves
with
Feta
cheese.
Tasted
really
nice,
something
you
must
try!
After
the
Pizzas
-
we
tried
three
dishes
which
are
completely
different
from
each
other
-
Bajra
Riso,
Red
Thai
Curried
Vegetables
and
Swiss
Vegetable
Roestii.
Gluten
free
Riso
is
rich
on
protein
and
has
a
very
distinct
taste!
Swiss
Vegetable
Roestii
was
given
a
healthy
spin-off
-
had
grilled
vegetables
with
some
cream
made
of
very
little
cheese.
Out
of
all,
I
preferred the
Red
Thai
Curried
Vegetables
which
came
along
with
steamed
brown
rice
and
coconut
based
gluten
free
vegan
gravy!
Finally
we
ended
our
meal
with
a
wide
range
and
variety
of
desserts.
We
started
with
3
different
ice-creams
(couple
of
scoops)
-
Black
Wasabi,
Almond
Muesli
and
Pure
Coconut
and
Palm
Jaggery!
I
loved
the
Almond
Muesli
and
Pure
Coconut
&
Palm
Jaggery
ice-creams.
Not
so
much
the
activated
charcoal
and
Japanese
Wasabi
combo!
I
had
an
amazing
time
at
Sante
Spa
Cuisine,
one
which
was
so
unique
and
not
comparable
to
any
of
the
other
places
visited!
A
must
visit
for
all
those
who
also
believe
in
a
healthy
lifestyle
or
for
ones
who
are
looking
for
a
change
to
their
regular
routine
and
give
their
body
a
much
needed
spa
/
break
from
the
junk
they
have
practically
on
a
daily
basis.
All
those
in
BKC,
or
travelling
to
BKC
-
a
must
visit!
