On the day the rest of the imagined world was giddy on love and chocolate, and feasting on -- oh, we don't knowu00a0-- fatty stuff (?), two solitary souls headed tou00a0a cafe in Khar to sample 'sensible' food.

The 50-seater restaurant that's pegging itself as a health food stop is big on its fruit juice combos; no surprise given that it has one of the guys behind the now-defunct juice chain: J Kart, at its helm. Apart from juices, they also offer "shots" and protein shakes.
Don't be deterred by the thought of spinach in your juice, the Spinach-Pineapple-Apple (Rs 79) might soon become a popular option, especially given the whole-hearted endorsement by its owners, who insist you try it. Welcome drink, did you say! They don't use sugar ("only honey" in certain juices) and only juice seasonal fruits, so you can practice your smuggest grin while sipping on these combos.
The Orange-Guava-Strawberry juice (Rs 89) was so good, we felt a sudden urge to run inside the kitchen to ensure no one was secretly dunking spoonfuls of powdered sugar inside it. For now though, we have only the owners' word to rely on. We might soon have more than that to go on, as future plans include going online with their live kitchen.
We started with the Aubergine Moussaka (Rs 149), which was a feast for the eyes, but not as much for the taste buds. The aubergine was slightly undercooked, and as a result had a chewy texture, and though the menu promised sun-dried tomato salsa, we could have sworn that was just tomato salsa it was layered with.
The Polenta with Harissa (Rs 199) was good; vegetable ragu sandwiched between layers of steamed cornmeal and topped with what looked (and tasted) like green mint chutney. The Pumpkin Tortellini (Rs 199) laced with a light cream sauce provided solace to our inner carb-divas. Satisfying, though the skin of the 'perfect' tortellini must be so thin it's almost translucent. These weren't.
Fellas is a good, solid option for those looking to absolve themselves from the guilt of engaging in the deadly sin: gluttony. Our suggestion? Order the juices. Steer clear of the vegetarian Main Courses, and opt instead for the soups and sandwiches, which they're likely to find more success converting into healthier meal options.
