Cooked in traditional copper vessels for additional health benefits, they have three types of meals — Healthy Meals, Diabetic Meals, and Jain Meals. Each meal is further divided by varying serve sizing into Eco, Mini, and Executive. The food is light and exceedingly flavourful with piping hot Pudina Parathas, specialities like Pav Bhaji, and desserts like Apple Sheera to end the meal.
