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
