The US observes National Junk Food Day every year on 21 July. The definition of junk food might vary but it is broadly believed to be food which is high in calories and low in nutrition. While the US has been instrumental in spreading the popularity of junk food, every culture has comfort foods that are taste-oriented instead of being nutrient dense. With growing awareness, people have been inclining towards healthier alternatives. For some, this could mean opting for baked meals instead of deep fried and for others it could be reducing their gluten intake. We have rounded up a list of eateries across Mumbai serving healthy variants of our most indulgent snacks.



Sante Spa Cuisine

The Mumbai monsoon often brings along deep cravings of fried goodness. For those who crave the crunch of samosa but stay clear of fried goods, Sante Spa Cuisine serves a healthy reimagining of this classic - the Baked Raw Banana Samosa (INR 280). The crispy samosas are stuffed with spiced raw banana mixture and served with flavourful chutneys. The Green Pao Bhaji (INR 440) served with homemade multigrain focaccia pao seems equally interesting.

The Pantry

For many of us, pizza is the ultimate comfort food. It’s easy for us to load our pizzas with fried toppings or extra cheese when it comes to indulging our taste buds. Cauliflower has been a popular ingredient among those who are diet-conscious as a replacement for traditional gluten containing flours. Taking inspiration, The Pantry serves a Flower Power Pizza (INR 445), a cauliflower base pizza topped with reduced fat cheese. This healthy pizza is sure to appeal to anyone who follows a gluten-free diet.

Fab Cafe

The menu here is filled with healthy variants of our favourite foods, from gluten-free Low Cal Upma (INR 270) to Ladakhi Thukpa with Zucchini Noodles (INR 220). The cafe is ideal for those who seek healthier alternatives without compromising on taste. If you’re a fan of street food, the Vegan Super Tikki Chaat with beetroot tikkis and wheat-free Spinach, Spring Onion, and Water Chestnut momos (INR 300), made of jackfruit flour, cannot be missed.

AT: 139-140B, Shiv building, Sahar road crossing, Vile Parle East

G.O.D Cafe

A first of its kind A2 milk cafe, G.O.D. serves ayurvedic and sattvic meals. The menu is designed by a certified ayurvedic philosopher and specialist and aims to serve guilt-free dishes. The Healthy Vada Pav (INR 20), made with rock salt and fried in cold pressed oil, is a recreation of the Mumbai local special. Special attention is paid to the cooking process as the takeaway dish is made fresh in small batches in cold pressed oil that is discarded each time, in alignment with the ayurvedic principles. Another popular dish gets a healthy makeover as A2 ghee and fresh sprouted makti is used to make Healthy A2 Ghee Misal Pav (INR 155).

TIME: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Woodside Inn

This neighbourhood bar is known for its scrumptious dishes as much as it is known for its cocktails. If you're someone who loves chicken wings but skips them in an attempt to eat healthy, Woodside Inn is serving some delightful Baked Chicken Wings (INR 550). Glazed richly in Jim Beam barbecue sauce, these spicy wings will satisfy all your cravings.

AT: Wodehouse Road, opposite Regal Cinema, Colaba (Also at Bandra)
TIME: 11:30 AM- 11:30 PM, Tuesday to Sunday
