The latest entrant on the Pali Hill food scene, giving company to Irish House, Papa Pancho, Kitchen Garden and Suzette, is Project Hum. One more ‘green and clean’ café added to Bandra’s roster, which some say, has turned the suburb into a pseudo–Downtown LA that’s gaga about avocado toast and berry smoothie.

Our pre-visit research revealed that the restaurant aims to create a healthier food system, allowing guests to witness choices that are sustainable, nutritious, and local. The team collaborates with community-supported farming with a focus on seasonality and local sourcing. The open kitchen façade is lined with red bricks; the walls are done up in yellow chrome and sea green tiles. The island community table is tempting for customers who walk in alone. The al fresco area is spacious, but the pop of pastel and tastefully executed interiors are more inviting in the October heat. There are yellow lamps and a wall of knick-knacks that also seat a in-house baked cookie platter you can dig into.
