In Mumbai and looking for a place to eat? Among your considerations, healthy eating tops of the list? You could consider the cafe at new-kid-on-the-block The Moon Village.  

Spread over 1,500 square ft., the café at The Moon Village in Khar is modelled as an urban oasis, with raw, whitewashed walls and lush greens. The walls are adorned with art that pay tribute to energies of the moon and the universe; celestial-themed geometrical ceramic tiles offset earthy tones running through the space, welcoming you to rest, relax and rejuvenate.

As you soak in the good vibes, you can also soak your gluten-free sosas in a Mangalorean style curry and other delicacies from the eclectic, nutritious, primarily aiming at gluten-free and sugar-free menu, heavily influenced by different parts of Southern India.

Mexico meets Tamil Nadu with the Pulled Chettinad Kathal & Makki Tacos with Avocado and Tuscan flavours merge with those from South India with the Podi Idli Panzanella. You can also pick the surprisingly delicious Snapper Ceviche with Coconut & Kokum Sharbat.
