Mandala – A Food Trance Or A Homedelivery
Event with Food Bloggers
The MANDALA Life!!! An Event with the Food Bloggers Association of India.
The Evening started off with an Adventurous trip taking us through the bylanes of Byculla to this Amazing Organic kitchen and An even more Amazing evening and Delectable Food Delicacies later on.
MANDALA – symbolic of a dream of Completeness of A TRANCE that’s what we experienced at this Brilliant dinner which was almost all Organic.
Organic also means Guilt-free, Healthy. So we could Gorge on this Delicious meal which was full of Awesomeness.
Mandala was created with the thought that people should be pulled towards their grassroots, traditions. A secret place that nourishes your vitality through healthy organic food At Mandala they have a deep-rooted respect for the environment and this faith is reflected in their business practices.
They grow their produce at home or source it locally. every ingredient used is grown ecologically. every dish they serve is in gratitude towards the people who grow the produce.. What a lovely thought.
The seeds of Mandala were planted due to a passion for conscious eating, the combination led to the birth of a Brand that offers only quality fresh and Earthy cuisine.. their Menus are carefully crafted every season to constantly focus only on fresh Ethical produce brought in from the local farmers market.
On this note, I would like to mention the presence of Ms. Kavita Mukhi who gave us such an Informative knowledge about the local organic food that is now available in the Farmers market and also all the benefits of having organic food. the Discussion was a Pleasure indeed.
