Sydney's first organic raw vegan cafe - the sadhana kitchen




Sādhanā (pronounced Sah-da-nah) is a sankrit term that translates into “conscious spiritual practice”, so its no wonder this is such a magical space. After hearing rave reviews for the Sadhana kitchen during my travels, I was so excited to finally be back in Sydney and able to check out the latest spot for nourishing food. So on a day spent digging through Newtown vintage after work, I stopped in for lunch. Tucked away just off Enmore road, attached to the Jivamukti Yoga studio lays the small kitchen. 

Specializing in healthy, organic, raw vegan foods and cold pressed juices, medicinal tea, and awesome cold drip and espresso coffee. They also serve up an amazing breakfast and lunch menu including chia porridge, granola, banana coconut pancakes, seasonal fruit bowl, super food salad, tejas tacos, quiche, lasagna, and finish it all off with treat; all sugar free, wheat free and a guilt free including yumballs, rocky road, cakes, tarts, cupcakes, and more. 

I started off with a fresh cold pressed green with envy juice full of seasonal greens, celery, apple, lemon and turmeric and a super choc yum ball. Everything on the menu sounded delicious but I HAD to try the lasagna, and it was beyond amazing. Like in my favorite new zucchini bolognese recipe, the pasta is replaced by thinly sliced zucchini strips and layered with cultured cashew cheese, basil pesto, walnut mince, wilted spinach and chunky tomato sauce. My friend opted for the kelp noodle pad-Thai and harmony juice.



All was amazing but I can’t get over the energy of this place. You leave the Sadhana kitchen feeling completely nourished; mind, body and soul. Although raw food isn’t for every one I’m sure this place is bound to convince your taste buds otherwise, not to mention the health benefits of raw power foods. xxFox
