It has been around 10 months since they have opened their first branch in Banjara Hills. Their newest branch is in Gachibowli, right beside the Central Mall. Since, it is on the main road, this small salad parlour is easy to locate. Well…not that easy! You really need to look down!
Even though this place is small, they have a well decorated interior.
They have around 40 ingredients and 18 dressings to choose from, which beats any other popular salad parlours.
Having its origin in France, a baguette, is a thin loaf of French bread. Hence, it is often called a French Loaf or French Bread.
A salad consists of a mixture of small pieces of food, usually vegetables. However, there are different types of salads with different kinds of ingredients in it, garden salads being one of the most popular variant among all. Salads have been very popular in Europe since the Greek and Roman imperial expansions.
The items we ordered were:
Tex-Mex Chicken Pita with Classic Caesar Dressing : This was a chicken salad with romaine lettuce, jalapenos, tortilla chips and cheddar cheese in pita pockets. The combination of warm, and crispy pita and the cold salad was quite appetizing!

South Beach Veg Baguette with Chipotle Dressing : The main feature of a baguette is its cripsy crust! Even though this baguette’s crust was very crispy, the bread lacked moisture. It was very dry. The salad was a little spicy and had ingredients like paneer, tomatoes, corn, black beans, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, and avocado. All the ingredients were very fresh and the quality of paneer was also really good.

If I ever have to visit again, I will spend my money on the Crazy Fruits and Nuts Bowl, Tex-Mex Salad in a bowl form rather than a baguette or pita, and any of their smoothies! Caution alert started when we saw a few of their ingredients on the display to be stale! However, the staff informed us immediately that those are for display purpose only. Their fresh counterparts which are used in the dishes, are all inside the kitchen. So, we took a look at their kitchen and confirmed whatever hey told! The kitchen was small yet organized and hygienic.
Overall, a really good experience. All my health conscious friends, do pay a visit to this place or order online on Swiggy! They have a wide range of tempting salads and smoothies. You can also choose to ‘Make Your Own Salad’. Soon, they will be coming up with unique desserts in all their branches. Till then, try out the other items!
