Flax - Healthy Living (Powai) — Restaurant in Mumbai

“Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.” – Bethenny Frankel Well Said!! Our food is one of the important investments we do in our life. We should pay for food that’s healthy and gives a return in terms of good health and a fit body and mind. Recently I came across one place which is serving different food what we call “Bahar ka Khana”. “Flax”, a place located at Powai plaza, is very easy to access. They serve healthy food so I thought to try it. It’s a decent small place that is clean and has beautiful décor. They have different wraps, sandwiches, salads, smoothies, etc. It was quite surprising for me because I had healthy food which was very yummy. I had The Burrito Bowl which had brown rice, corn, grilled paneer, Greek yogurt, spinach, beans, etc. in a big bowl. It was so tasty that I finished it quickly. Everything was properly chopped and no spices were felt but at the same time, it was full of flavor. Rating: 5/5. I ordered Hummus and Grilled Paneer wrap which was full of grilled paneer of course and jalapeno, cucumber, yogurt, and all healthy stuff that I never had on my own. I can have such wraps daily and it was not oily so you can have them without any guilt. The taste was super good so I wished if they can make such wraps in a bigger size. Rating: 4.9/5 On my liking for wrap filling, their chef suggested I go for Tofu Thing Salad. It was something new for me. Salads with noodles, corn, mushrooms, tofu, almonds, broccoli, and all were mixed with different sauces which tickle your tongue as you get a taste of familiar stuff in diverse versions. Rating: 4.8/5 As for their food, they are great at hospitality. James and Panchanan served food with smiles and care. I would like to give a 5-star rating to them. 5/5. They have maintained hygiene and are good for all healthy eaters. Must visit it...

Ever heard of Delicious & Healthy Diet food in a statement? Thanks to Flax I can use both these words in the same statement! A total of 3 outlets (Powai / Breach Candy / Lower Parel) serving the same dishes.

Their 5 page menu is quite simple offering you multiple options for each items listed; SuperBowls / Signature Salads / Fit Meals / Sandwich & Wraps / Beverages!

We tried all sections with the exception of Beverages; sharing my healthy yet tasty food experience below :

Greek Bowl : From their SuperBowls section, this one was truly super & lived up to the Greek name! Promoted as a Protein rich bowl, this one consisted of a variety of items, a Salad portion consisting of Arugula leaves, Onions & Radish, single serving of Barley rice, Babaganoush which perfectly went with Crisp Pita sticks and a decent portion of sliced chicken. This is definitely recommended! Mega Fish Salad : From their Signature salad section, Promoted as rich in Omega 3 nutrients this one was loaded with the goodness of greens (Kale & Spinach), the sweet potatoes gave it a sugary touch, Egg Whites & minced Tuna provided the meat content on this salad. A salad as healthy as it can get! Basil Pesto Fish : From there Fit Meals Section, a portion of Bhetki fish (Also known as Asian Sea Bass or Barramundi) with Couscous and Pumpkin Puree along with Broccoli. The flavors were balanced on this with the puree going well with the couscous. A must try mini meal! Pickled Tuna Sandwich : Double layered sandwich with Arugula leaves, tomato, boiled egg slices and minced tuna stuffed in between. Definitely filling portion wise and loaded with nutrients!

Flax is a paradise for fitness freaks who also appreciate their palates as they offer healthy & nutritious food without sacrificing on the taste.

So do give your Flex some dose of Flax – You will not be...

A great place to have a wholesome meal and say goodbye to everything unhealthy. From bowls to salads, to basic yogurt and juices, everything served here is gourmet!

We ordered The Burrito Chicken Bowl- This is so aesthetically pleasing. The colours and flavours are satiating! The tangy Salsa Crudo, the sourish Guacamole and the flavoured brown rice and the basic beans were my favourite items in the bowl. The portion is good, however you can't eat too much of it. It's kind of dry and the flavour of some portions aren't very palatable.

Hummus and Chicken Wrap- As delicious as it sounds, this one tasted great. What let me down was, the wrap is so cold and chewy that you feel it isn't fresh. Also the portion size is a little too small.

A bottle of Refresh- Refresh is a cold pressed juice made from watermelon, apple and pomegranate. The cool thing is that the juice lasts a good 20 days from the date of packaging and it doesn't contain any added flavour, preservatives or sugar! Refresh is a great hydrant and give you an antioxidant glow. It tastes nice but the after taste is kind of bitter and not so welcoming.

Last but not the least, we called for a portion of Babaghanoush with Ragi Crackers- Babaghanoush is made from Brinjal and is infused with a lot of seasoning. The Ragi Crackers taste like usual crackers that go along with the dip. It's nice to have as a side dish.

This was the first time I consumed a whole course of healthy food. The experience was great, makes you feel light and you also feel like you've hardly eaten anything but that's the beauty of it.

The service at Flax is quick and the staff are well aware. The dine-ins are competitively lesser than the online orders and orders keep coming in!

In a world where healthy food is given a back seat, Flax takes pride in serving...
