Salads, bowls and paninis
Korean tofu
To beat the heat this summer, Maiz Hospitality launched Harvest Salad Co, a cloud kitchen that offers a global menu with Vietnamese, Mexican and French flavours made using local produce. Some of the hits include avo crunch, which comes packed with lettuce, arugula, basil, ricotta cream drenched in a French vinaigrette, beets by dre that has Romaine lettuce, arugula, beetroot, hummus, feta and pepper cashews.

The paninis are made with in-house multi-grain bread and meat-eaters can try grilled chicken panini which offers grilled chicken, bell peppers and basil with chipotle caesar mayo in handmade multi-grain bread.

Square and delicious
The duo of Anand Morwani (of Brewbot) and Rohan Mangaonkar (of Pack-a-Pav) have teamed up to serve Detroit-style square pizzas (above) . The base undergoes a 72-hour fermentation technique to form a whole-cheese crust with crispy edges. Some wacky combinations include Detroit red top with secret marinara sauce, house cheese blend, and marinara drizzle; galactic garden with spinach, caramelised onions, pickled red chilli and even a holy pepperoni with Italian pepperoni to choose from.
Time 12 pm to 3 am
