Sante Spa Cuisine, the trailblazer of healthy and delicious vegetarian and vegan fare, has unveiled its seventh outlet at the historic Royal Opera House in Mumbai. This new location marks a significant expansion for the brand, which has already won hearts across India with its outlets in Pune, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai’s bustling BKC. The latest venture positions Sante Spa Cuisine at the very heart of Mumbai’s cultural and historical landscape, bringing its unique culinary experience to a venue that embodies the city’s artistic soul.
Founded by Sonal Barmecha and co-owned by Agnelo Rajesh Athaide—a respected author, social entrepreneur, and business mentor—Sante Spa Cuisine is more than a restaurant; it’s a lifestyle choice. The brand embraces the philosophy of Sattvic cuisine and the principle of #HonestlyHealthy, focusing on fresh, pure ingredients that promote both physical and mental well-being. With this ethos at its core, Sante Spa Cuisine has become a leader in the hospitality industry, known for its innovative approach to healthy eating.
At the helm of Sante Spa Cuisine’s culinary journey is Chef Shailendra Kekade, a maestro with over 35 years of experience in the kitchen. He has curated a menu that is a symphony of flavors and textures, drawing inspiration from global cuisines while showcasing the finest locally sourced, organic ingredients. With a focus on ancient cooking techniques such as grilling and roasting, and the introduction of nutritious millets, the menu offers guests a taste of the future of healthy dining.
“The Royal Opera House is a landmark in Mumbai, and we are honored to be part of its legacy,” says Sonal Barmecha, founder of Sante Spa Cuisine. “We believe that Sante Spa Cuisine’s commitment to healthy, delicious food aligns perfectly with the Opera House’s artistic and cultural ethos. Humanity deserves great food that is a delight to the senses and, at the same time, nutritious for a healthy and hearty life. With Sante Spa Cuisine, we are doing this one person at a time. We look forward to welcoming guests to this beautiful space and sharing our passion for wholesome dining.”
The new Sante Spa Cuisine outlet at the Royal Opera House is a visual and sensory delight, where modern architecture meets earthy elegance. Designed by renowned interior designer Prachi Joshi of DesignWorx, the restaurant is a haven of sleek lines and natural elements, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both sophisticated and comforting. The al fresco dining area, adorned with lush greenery and a serene Buddha statue, offers a tranquil escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, making it the perfect setting for a meal that nourishes both body and soul.
The menu is a celebration of healthy eating, with a variety of delectable dishes that exemplify Sante Spa Cuisine’s principles. Start your day with the refreshing Organic Cocoash Nectar, a revitalizing blend of tender ash gourd and coconut water. For a taste of global fusion, try the Creole Quinoa, a vibrant combination of charred pineapple carpaccio, Danish feta, quinoa, and fresh herbs. Plant-based protein lovers will adore the Buddha Thai, a raw and energizing dish packed with greens, zucchini, cucumber, spinach, avocado, peas, sprouts, and seeds, all tossed in a zesty Sriracha dressing.

For those seeking a savory indulgence, the Balinese Tempeh “Satay” features chargrilled tempeh complemented by a rich, homemade peanut and chili dip. Dive into the earthy flavors of India with the Arbi Tuk Tuk, a comforting dish of roasted colocasia bulbs infused with aromatic Asian spices, or try the Zucchini Zoodles in Hemp Pesto for a lighter option. The aromatic Green Thai Curry, served with steamed, unpolished brown rice, is another must-try, as are the antioxidant-rich Cherry Berry Smoothie and the unique wood-fired Pizzas with a Ragi, Almond Flour, and sourdough bases.
Sante Spa Cuisine’s beverage offerings are just as impressive, with a selection of healthy juices, kombuchas, iced matcha, activated charcoal lemonade, and milkshakes, as well as stimulating teas and coffees. End your meal on a sweet note with the divine Salted Peanut Butter Mud Pot dessert or the French vanilla gelato Peach Melba, both of which provide the perfect ending to a delightful culinary experience.
