Photo Credit: Instagram/The Pantry MumbaiIn today's time, where most of us are cautious about how we look and what we eat, few restaurants are doing a great job in helping us turn towards a heathier lifestyle. Food that is grown organically is not just healthy for you but also for the environment. Keeping this in mind, organic cafés and restaurants are transforming the eating-out scene in Mumbai with their healthy greens, vegan beverages and gluten-free alternatives pitted against gluttonous joints that have crowded the lanes for long. From salads, sandwiches and smoothies to grills and guilt-free desserts, these eateries are making sure you get your dose of health without compromising on the flavours.1.Birdsong- The Organic Café
