Healthy Indian food is super nourishing. The thali is amazing and generous portions. Turmeric latte was really yummy too (made with coconut milk - they've thought of everything!) Very reasonable priced, especially considering the quality and thoughtful menu. Lovely staff.

The best Indian food I’ve ever eaten, served quickly and with a smile. I can’t recommend this place enough! Especially for someone with gluten/dairy allergies. Beautiful little restaurant run by a mother and daughter who are happy to talk you through the menu. Highly recommend!

Menu changes every week - please ask our staff for this week's menu. Our tasting platter typically consists of six dishes, each representing a specific taste. It is normally a platter of rice, dal, curry, salads, sauerkraut, roasted vegetables, and poppadoms.

This tasting platter is the Ayurvedic perspective of balanced eating based on the six-taste principle of Ayurveda. The six naturally occurring tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, astringent, and salty. When we eat all the six tastes in a meal, our bodies feel nourished, satisfied, and balanced.

Fluffy, flavoursome, fibre rich - our favorite F words 😋😂⠀ ⠀ These pillowy samosas are filled with sweet potates and lentils - are no doubt packed with protein - but also fibre!⠀ ⠀ 💩⠀ Lentils are are great source of soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is great for keeping your gut nice and clean and ‘sweeping” your insides and keeping your bowel movements regular ⠀ ⠀ 🦠⠀ Soluble fiber acts as a fertilizer and the bacteria love gorging themselves on it and produce short chain fatty acids.⠀ ⠀ What are Short chain fatty acids? ⠀ 🤔⠀ ⠀ In fact, main reason for the existence of short chain fatty acids is serving as a source of energy for cells inside the colon. They help boost the protective mucus layer in the gut and also have the ability to influence genes that control cell proliferation and cell cycle ⠀ ⠀ 🦠⠀ ⠀ Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) also have an effect on how energy is metabolized in the body, and thus, a possible protective effect against metabolic disease and obesity.⠀ 🧬⠀ ⠀ SCFAs also has a massive influence on the immune system. Research shows that SCFAS (in particular, the SCFA butyrate) have anti-inflammatory effects⠀ ⠀ All of this incredible science comes together in this baked samosa with probiotic sauces - yup, we LOVE keeping healthy eating FUN, interesting and tasty 😇⠀ ⠀ For more amazing resource on Gut Health, check out @theguthealthmd⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Eat the rainbow they said...⠀ 🌈⠀ ⠀ And they are sooo right!⠀ 🤣⠀ ⠀ Nothing makes your eyes, heart and most importanty your tummy all happy at the same time other than a bowl of easily digested, nutrient packed, prana rich, living foods ⠀ ⠀ 😇🥰⠀ ⠀ Prana level 💯 with this curry bowl! ⠀ 💪⠀ ⠀ Eating for how you want to feel, not how you want to look 👍
Ahhh the good ol’ Masala dosa giving the western counterpart sourdough bread a run for its money 🤣 😋 ⠀ ⠀ If you’ve been to India, you would’ve no doubt tried the dosa and fallen in love with it⠀ ⠀ 💓 🇮🇳 ⠀ ⠀ We use a traditional stone grinder just like what is used in India till today to grind the soaked and lentils and then fermented for 48-72 hours ( in summer, longer in winter) giving the perfect “holes” in the dosa. It is a real labour of love standing by the stone grinder and making sure every grain is blended. ⠀ ⠀ 😇⠀ ⠀ Could there be a more apt “bread” that is not only Gluten free, but also fermented and sooo gentle on the tummy and yet soooo darn delicious! ⠀ 🤤
It’s that time of the year when everyone gets all lovey and mushy with Valentine’s Day around the corner! ⠀ ⠀ 💓 ⠀ ⠀ Here’s a meal that is sure to send powerful love messages to your lifetime companion - who looks after you, talks to you every single day, (albeit subtly if you’re not listening carefully), keeps going even though you probably haven’t shown the necessary TLC in nurturing the relationship and is closer to you than anyone can possibly get! ⠀ ⠀ Yes, we’re talking about your GUT!⠀ ⠀ 🥰⠀ ⠀ Day in day out, our gut is working to make sure we are able to carry on doing what we love doing. ⠀ ⠀ 😓⠀ ⠀ Believe it or not, “Wellbeing” and “healthy” IS our natural state. ⠀ ⠀ 😇⠀ ⠀ According to Ayurveda, “Health is a balanced state of Doshas, balance of the bodily tissues, balance of waste products, balance of the digestive fire AND clarity and balance of the senses, mind and spirit” ⠀ ⠀ So, “health” isnt merely an absence of disease. ⠀ ⠀ Therefore this state of happiness and balance is attained and sustained by maintaing a healthy lifestyle in congruence with nature. Right nutirtion for YOUR body, proper exercise for YOUR body, positive emotions, healthy realtionship with YOUR body and others and a daily routine all contribute of a healthy life. ⠀ ⠀ So therefore, wrong nutrition, improper exericse, repressing emotions and negative relationship with our body and others, disconnecting from nature affects our gut, (and Agni from an Ayurvedic perspective) and ultimately leads to illness.⠀ 😞⠀ ⠀ Dont let this be a one sided relationship. Like every relationship, this one with our body needs a lot of nurturing and care so it can go on to protect us, provide us with energy and keep us feeling calm and healthy from the inside out for many many years to come ⠀ ⠀ 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️⠀ ⠀ Gut loving Thlai this week consists of all 6 tastes your gut will LOVE with a lovely zucchini and lentil curry, probiotics, healing dal and energising and cleansing salads ⠀ 😇⠀ ⠀ We really do LOVE your guts! 😉
Did someone say “Ayurvedic Burger” ?! 😋🍔⠀ ⠀ Our mission has always been to modernise and adapt Ayurvedic principles to the current day. ⠀ ⠀ For a 5000 year old system is truly timeless, it means developing an understanding of the principles used and trying to adapt the principles for today. ⠀ ⠀ The means, you should still be able to eat “ayurvecically” regardless of whether you’re Italian or South American or Asian, whether you’re Paleo, Keto, Vegan. ⠀ ⠀ So, Ayurveda truly extends beyond the parameters of Indian cuisine. ⠀ ⠀ Which means.....you can now eat a super flavoursome, burger guilt free that is Gluten free with Dosa as the “bun”, probiotic sauces and a mouth watering vegan coconut mayo ⠀ ⠀ 🤤🤤⠀ ⠀ We’ve taken your suggestions and have improved our patty to be still juicy and flavoursome but less messy! ⠀ ⠀ Come and try the new burger now. Oh and dont forget to add a side of Taro chips on the side! 🤤🤤 ⠀ ⠀ ONLY available at our Bronte location - 263 Bronte Road, Waverley 😇⠀
Mmmm ⠀ ⠀ Would be perfect to have one of these @chachasicecream donut sandwiches right now to cool down ⠀ 😋 🍩 ⠀ ⠀ These guys are gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar free AND have 10gms of protein in each donut. Now that’s a real guilt free treat!⠀ ⠀ 😇⠀ ⠀ ONLY @chachasicecream - 42 Hall street, Bondi Beach
