212 All good – Clean eating

Clean-eating at 212 All good

Tucked away in a quiet corner of an otherwise buzzing mall, 212 rides the ‘clean eating’ wave that’s sweeping across Indian metros. People on Gluten-free, low carb, dairy-free diets are sure to find enough options on the menu at 212 All good. Keep an eye out for the events and workshops usually held on Sundays. I loved the one on Fermentation that I attended and pickle my own veggies now.

Pros and cons of an open layout

The open layout, use of wooden tones in the floor-n-furniture, bar counter high-stools, spotlight lighting, a splash of green from the plants – all work towards creating a quaint and comfortable vibe to the place. The open layout also seems to invite flies and these hover irritatingly over the food though.

All good juices and smoothies

Belly good

The house cola, dairy free smoothies and juices are all great to kick-start the proceedings. While refined sugar is a strict no-no at 212, they still manage to sweeten the drinks a bit too much for my liking. You can ask for your drink to be made less sweet. My faves are the fig, almond milk, flaxseed Belly Good and the Green cleanse.

Do away with the disasters!

Some of the dishes at 212 All good cross-over the health and taste fine-line into not so palatable disasters. The fish tacos and the tender coconut pad Thai do not work for me.

Desserts need fine-tuning

212 needs to get its dessert act together. Almost all the desserts I tried are in the do-good zone but need a definite taste tuning. The newly introduced vegan ice-creams that I still need to try, may be just the answer.

A place that is trying so hard to offer clean eating options that taste great is to be encouraged. We will look the other way while hoping some of the disasters exit the menu unobtrusively. In the meanwhile, All is well (said Aamir Khan style) at 212 All good.
