New restaurant
The latest addition to Mumbai’s culinary scene, Seeds of Life is out to give healthy food a delicious makeover. Dig into thin crust pizzas with zoodles (zucchini noodles), quinoa veggie upma, or smoothie bowls. All of its dishes are free from refined sugar and white flour. We recommend the cafe’s dessert range—all of which can be ordered in a vegan and gluten-free version. Pick from a sinful almond blueberry cake, rich chocolate cake and oats and raisins cookies.
