Jkart, Bandra

Bandra's found a caffeine replacement but Bandraites are still getting adjusted to this 24-day old healthy substitute. J Kart screams fresh fruit juices all day long from 7am to 12am for anyone wanting to opt for a healthy, rejuvenating lifestyle.

Rachna and Anupam, the partners in crime, have chalked out a menu comprising combinations of a variety of fruits; unbeliveable combos, really! From Orange + Ginger + Apple + Carrots to Coconut Water + Pineapple, the two well-informed, avant garde owners teamed with a nutritionist and a hotelier to make sure customers get as healthy, satisfying and 'noveau' combinations of juices as in Latin America or Thailand. Hygiene and quality are definitely the first things on the cards at J Kart; the servers use gloves and head caps while preparing that tall glass of juice.

The "rush hours" are usually 7-10am, and the customers fall into the age bracket of 35-60; the young 'uns still need to be convinced of the virtues of fresh fruits. Foreigners as well as filmstars seem to be addicted to this 'fruit' rush, and are regular patrons here. J Kart's biggest advantage is free home delivery (within Bandra only) and all the lazy buggers who want to clean out their systems of all things toxic can just dial-a-glassfull/platefull of fresh fruits. The most hard-selling item on the menu is the wheatgrass shot, served just like a tequila shot with salt and lemon; regular intake of this boosts your energy levels!

This little corner joint falls in the shadows of more premuim-looking eatieries on this stretch and can often be overlooked, but with its menu growing into 'fruit soups' and mushroom teas, you can't completely escape it once given a chance. A la Kart - the new restaurant mantra!
