Set up 10 years ago, by Dayini and Leo, this place is famous for fresh, organic and homemade ingredients. The casual yet chic ambience of the place rejuvenates you with the first step you set in. The wooden tables and benches with throw pillows immediately take you to your comfort zone. The cool breeze from the surrounding bamboo forests and lovely music (thanks to Leo’s DJ skills) alleviates your stress.

This place is heaven for salad lovers: Ginger Chicken salad and the Seafood salad are few of the favourites. For connoisseurs of Italian food, choose from the long list of wood-fired oven pizzas or simply pick your own toppings and create your own pizza. Another hit is the wide range of burgers, baguette and croissants. A wide smile crosses Leo’s face when someone orders a wholesome Leo’s special. Zucchini cigars and Roast beef cigars can serve as good ‘conversation’ starters.
