Locating it wasnt a difficult task and the maps shows the exact location. Now talking about the service. The service was good. The staffs were polite as well.

Now talking about the food.

First of all this place serves the fusion of healthy food and definitely defines the phase - Who says healthy food cannot be tasty!💜

If you are looking for healthy yet tasty then I guess this is the place for you.

Hey guys I just hopped in to this cafe and found some yummy yet healthy options. Chicken Momos made out of jackfruit flour which dint have any flavour of jackfruit at all. The gol gappas which had fillings of sprouts and was served with unique flavours of pomegranate and pineapple which was a pleasant surprise .Some juicy baked Hariyali murg Tikka and come the main course we ordered some multigrain parathas with chicken tikka which was just the perfect combination . Finally the desserts were just amazing , do try the mango tart cheese cake and the handmade berry ice creams , sinfully sweet.

This place can be defined by just one word - BEAUTIFUL! 💜
This was the first word which came in my mind when I entered the cafe. The ambience is so on point and peaceful.

Now talking about the food.

If you are looking for healthy yet tasty then I guess this is the place for you.
Here it goes

• Spicy sprouts filled golgappa which was served with three kinds of water and i personally loved the spicy pani. Initially i was a bit hesistant to order as being a huge fan of golgappe , i didnt want to mess it up. But when i tasted it, i was amazed. It was brilliant.

• Spinach , hara pyaaz & water chestnut Momo : Ever heard of water chestnut in momo? No! This was my first reaction. But again I was surprised how well it tasted in form of momo along with spinach and hara pyaz in it.

• Baked Potato smiley : This one was from kids menu. Yes, they do have separate menu for kids. Generally the potato smileys are fried but here , it was baked and tasted yumm.

•Kathal Quinao Biryani : This was basically biryani made with Quinao and not with rice and had jackfruit in it. Much healthier version of Biryani.

• Paneer maska masala : Paneer gravy which did not impress me much as the paneer was little sour for me.

• Buttermilk pancakes : No, it wasnt sour nor did it have curd taste in it incase you are wondering. It was normal pancake topped with ice cream and fresh fruits on top. BRILLIANT it was. 💜

• Caramelized banana cake: This one has my 💜. The cake was so soft and moist. Topped with caramelised banana which was just heaven. It was so tasty that we ended up ordering one more. My mouth still waters whenever I think about it.

Overall I loved my experience. Main course were little disappointing but starters and desserts were just on point! 💜

Happy eating! 💜

This place suites for the phrase 'First impression is the best impression'. The ambience took everyone to a peace mode instantly on a hectic weekday. We, a group of 5 friends gathered for here for dinner after a long time. All we expected is a peaceful ambience and good food which was satisfied by Fabcafe.

The menu was on point so we were not confused about what to order. We started with few refreshments. Then we moved to starters, Spinach and water chestnut momos, spicy sprouts filled Golgappa, Chicken Momos, Mutton Samosa, Mutton Galouti kebab. All were good in taste, so for sure you can buy any of these starters without hesitation yet, I would like to point out the best out of the above-mentioned starters. Sprouts Golgappa and the mutton galouti kebab were too good.

Then we moved to the main course in which we ordered Kathal Quinoa Biryani, Chicken brown rice biryani, Kashmiri mutton curry with brown rice. Since all of these are under the healthy food category the taste comes next to the quality. I liked the quality of the meat and the ingredients used in all of their dishes. I would recommend the cooking team to mix and match a few other varieties of ingredients to bring up a bit more taste to serve our taste buds as well.

And finally, we arrived at the dessert page. OMG!!! I'm in love with their desserts. I would definitely visit this place frequently at least for the taste and quality of their dessert. Caramelized Banana cake, chocolate cake, Berry ice cream and one item from their all-day breakfast which I considered as dessert :P it's none other than banana pancakes with ice cream. All the 4 dishes were good in taste. I would for sure recommend this restaurant to you if you want good variety and tasty food under quiet descent ambience near Bessy.

My rating to this place goes as follows,
Ambience - 4.5/5
Food - 4/5
Service - 4.5/5
VFM - 4/5

If you wanna eat delicious food without having to count the calorie intake, Fab Cafe is the place.

Happened to visit this place yesterday and I must firstly say that the ambience was very peaceful.

Food was well presented and I can give 100 brownie points to their Mutton Samosa. The kheema was well cooked and was delicious.

I absolutely loved the "Healthy Concept" menu.

I highly recommend everyone to try this place to have a worthy time with your friends and family.

Eat what you love and feel good about it? Fab cafe is sure to give you that feeling and satisfaction. I along with my foodie friends visited Fab cafe the besant nagar branch for dinner. The place is located in a prime location opposite Santosh hosp and very close to the beach. The cafe is in the third floor looks simple and elegant with the fiery lights adding charm to the place. The place gives you a calm and peaceful vibe.

Well Fab cafe is one cafe in the city that focuses on serving healthy food. Well I definitely was excited to try them out.

So , What we had?

Drinks -

Refined sugar is replaced with jaggery.
🔹Peanut Jaggery coffee shake 🔹Mango mint🔹Kokum coconut 🔹Ganna juice
I personally loved the Mango mint and Kokum coconut. All the drinks tasted good.

Starters -

🔹Tri - grain Papadi chat - A healthy version of the chat was just yummax. (Must try)

🔹 Chicken Momos - What makes this Momo's different is that it is made of jackfruit and not maida. Also loved the dips that came along with the Momo's.

🔹Mutton Samosa- Mutton kheema Samosa a perfect snack option. Had the perfect flavours and tasted delish.

🔹 Hariyali Chicken Tikka - The marination could have been better. This dish did disappoint me. The smell , the flavor did not go well for me.

🔹 Beetroot lotus stem tikki chat- Tikkis made of Beetroot and grains was way to healthy for me. In every bite you can feel the grains in the dish. This one is strictly for the health conscious.

🔹Mutton Galouti- This was my personal fav. Minced mutton packed with flavor literally melted in my mouth.(Must Try)

Main course-

🔹Brown Rice chicken biryani- Eating biriyaniiii the healthy way and not feeling guilty about the calories. Eating biriyaniiii like this definitely was different.

🔹Fish Mole and keto rice- Yes , you heard it right. Keto rice it is. For those of you who are in the lookout for keto based dishes you now know where to head to.

Dessert-

Buttermilk pancake with berry ice cream- Oh my this was just the best. The ice cream was just amazzzinnng and the dessert on the whole was good. You can have this as a breakfast option.

The place serves gluten free, dairy free, vegan , keto based dishes. I really appreciate the idea of serving healthy food and also trying to keep the balance in terms of flavors & authenticity.

Fab cafe is ideal for those who are into fitness, diet and healthy eating. The price I felt was slightly on the higher side. The service was good. On days when I decide to eat healthy I would visit this place.

Fab cafe is one of the best health driven Cafes in Chennai. It's located in one of prime locations of Chennai - walkable distance from Elliot's beach. The interiors are simple yet very elegant and dash of fiery lights in the night with a great view!

Beverages
*Kokum coconut
Coconut milk with kokum. This was a very refreshing drink.
*Hazelnut Iced Coffee
Cold coffee - Mildly bitter, as they refrain from using refined sugar
*Mango mint - Dahi based mango drink (Vegan option available). This was yum. One cannot go wrong with mangoes.

Chicken momos - Unlike the usual momos, this was made of dry jackfruit extract instead of maida. It has a slight sweet taste but tasted good nevertheless.

Mutton samosa - crispy samosa with mutton keema fillings, with three types of chutney!

Tri grain papadi chat medley -
Wholesome papadi topped with loads of dahi, tamarind and mint chutney. Delicious evening snack!

Keto chicken biryani - Cauliflower based chicken biryani. This is for all the fitness freaks who can't resist themselves from biryani.

Buttermilk pancakes -
Fluffy pancakes with delicious and rich scoop for berry ice cream topped with banana, chocolate syrup and roasted almonds. This is my personal favourite of the evening!

Service -4/5
Food - 4/5
Ambience 3/5
Overall experience 4/5

They do offer various dietary options,
1) Wheat free
2) Dairy free
3) Vegan

Must try-

This is a great place to go out on a date. It has a view of the ocean and has glass walls which makes the place super romantic. Every dish has a twist to it's taste. I loved the sugarcane juice with ginger in it. The veggie crisps with hummus is something not to miss. A place of class and finesse mixed with great food ! The service is stalwart and prompt. They are very helpful and friendly

Taste : 3.5/5 ; Ambiance : 4.5/5 ; Service : 4/5 ; VFM : 3.5/5

Fabcafe is one place that has got quite a name i recent times for its healthy food..But all i knew was this new outlet in Alwarpet and i had zero about this another outlet in besant nagar operating for almost 6 months now..But fortunately i was able to try this outlet before the Alwarpet outlet..Located on the 3rd floor of the Fab India building right opposite to santhosh hospital..With Exclusive parking for the complex i don't see any issues in this department..

On reaching the 3rd floor you are led into a small pathway that leads into a beautiful dining area..With Glass windows all around and neatly laid out dining area this is one of the best dining spaces i have visited in recent times..Claimed to more beautiful during day time due to the natural lighting along with some plants around..Seating is comfortable with a perfectly cooled dining area..The Service too is polite and quite welcoming with waiting time on the average side..

Given below are the list of items tried and my take on them..

Mutton Samosa : Samosas filled with Mutton Kheema cooked with spices and onions along with some rich coriander...Too good in taste was this filling with a crispy shell of the samosa..Pair it with a yummy pudina/mint chutney and you have a satisfying experience..

Chicken Momos : Though the filling was quite good will you believe if i tell the outer layer was wheat free and in fact made from jackfruit flour..It hence ended up with a slightly sweeter taste..But overall was good in taste..Came with a chili and garlic chive dip which complimented the momos very well..

Galouti Kebab with Mini Kuttu Bread : First impression was it looked small..The Galouti kebab was good in taste and perfectly cooked served on a mini kuttu bread which am having for the first time..The bread was really hard and the melt in the mouth texture of the kebab was held back due to this..The Rich pudina chutney also couldn't help it...A experience not so good and also not bad..

Hariyali Murgh Tikka : After a long time i have had a hariyali tikka actually marinated with coriander and pudina leaves rather than using some coloring..The Meat was juicy and tender and the taste was really good here..A must try for sure..

Desi Egg Akuri : Perfect Scrambled eggs cooked along with onions and tomatoes..The Scraambled eggs consistency was just perfect and with the spices along with veggies it was just too good in taste,,Served along with a set of singara parathas...A Good combo IMO...

Parsi Chicken Dhansak : Dhansak is one dish that was in my list for sometime now and i finally happened to try it here..This is basically a dish where the chicken is slow cooked along with lentils..The cooking and the consistency of the gravy was really good..This was my first try and hence cant talk about authenticity but i loved it completely..

Keto Chicken Biryani : First impression was that the biryani had an overpowering flavor and aroma of cauliflower as it uses cauliflower rice but it just goes above tolerating limit..The Meat however was well cooked and had a completely different and a good biryani taste..Served with a decent raita and mirchi ka salan...

Buttermilk Pancakes : These were one of the lightest and the fluffiest pancakes had in recent times..we are allowed to select the toppings but we left it to the chef to put out the best combo with were banana and nuts along with chocolate syrup and berry flavored ice cream..A must try for sure..

Caramalized Banana Cake : Grain free Cake made with banana flour and ripe bananas..Was really moist and tasted really good...The topping of caramelized bananas acted as a good topping to this cake..

Mango Cashew Tart : Mango is one of those fruits for which almost everyone will have a soft corner and something that everyone will long for..And this Mango rich cheesecake was one of the best i have had in recent times...The mango compote was just perfect...Must try for sure...

Fruit Payasam : Sliced and Cubes fruits in coconut milk..Fresh and perfectly sweetened..Not the traditional payasam taste but loved it..

Drinks : Ordered a few drinks for us of which happened to try a few..The Lime soda was powerful one with an average taste..The Cane one was the best of the lot with awesome taste..All other drinks were just about average..

Though the food had couple of minor issues overall it was really good added with an awesome ambiance and a good service..The Pricing is on the higher side for the quantity but the fitness quotient with the vegan and gluten free options makes this worth a while for ppl looking for such places to try..A definite for health freaks...

Let me start with disclaimer - I hate any kind of diet food but Fab cafe changed my perception. I was surprised to see menu full of all non-carb options and was wondering how the taste would be. The taste and presentation were all great and beyond my expectations.
They make tasty food out of healthy ingredients like quinoa, ragi, brown rice, wheat and even the cold coffee has jaggery instead of sugar in it. I tried pancakes and got jaggery syrup instead of maple but it was awesome specially when they coupled it with dry fruits. We tried Momos, chicken and chapatis and didn't miss the so called 'normal version' of them.
Apart from food, the service is also good plus they also have parking option so give the place a visit even if you are not a fan of healthy food.

Place with the most beautiful decor. I went to have lunch here. It was so beautiful. The food was amazing. The chicken momos, the orange sponge cake with honey topping, chicken tikka.. everything was juicy and so delicious. I loved it. The hazelnut ice coffee was so bad though. But yeah it was such a nice place
I would love to come to this place again at the night time. I recommend this one.

So we went for the lunch here and found the place as it sounds ‘fab’. Ambience was great, lot of natural sunlight to brighten up. The smoothies of almond fig and mango mint were great. The taste was natural and not too sweet. Also their breads tasted great and one should try quinoa paratha which was different and the momos. Overall very happy with the service and food. Price is a bit higher but the food is worth it.

The decor of this place is lovely! Tried the chicken tikka rumali katori and galouti kebab, both of which I loved! For dessert, had the infamous caramlaized banana cake ( which was really good!) and the strawberry cheese cake which has fresh jus made! Overall a great experience but a little heavy on the wallet.

We had a wonderful time at lunch. The staff is very welcoming to start with. The menu is lovely, different and very refreshing. The decor is pretty and springy. We had the veggie crisps with mint sauce, crisps with masala liver pate, the pate was awesome. Grilled fish with roasted veggies and coriander pesto was good, slightly spicy for those who can't digest heat. For the mains we had the chicken biriyani, which was lovely with red rice, rice and jackfruit rotis with Bengali fish curry. The jackfruit rotis were nice. The Bengali fish curry was a bit of a disappointment for us who know Bengali cuisine. For desserts we had the chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and the banana bread with caramelised bananas on top. The latter was a perfect finale to the lunch. Can't wait for the next bite. Let me compliment the staff again to end the review, very polite and courteous. Good luck on this venture!

Absolutely loved this place. Noticed the small board saying: Fabcafe and decided to go there. We had seen the one in Alwarpet from the outside and it being from Fabindia, assumed that it would be good. And yes it was. The ambiance was beautiful. Its on the top floor so you wont notice it from the road. Everything is so exquisite, right from the cutlery to the menu. Speaking of the menu, the spread is large. You might find it hard to decide what to eat and what not to eat :P Also they cater to everyones needs. Vegan, Gluten free and other things as well which I cant really remember cause, well, I dont need it 😅

We had the Mutton galauti kebab, Muttar paratha with Cashew Cheese, Rajasthani Gutta curry and Six grain chapati with Masala tea. Everything tasted amazing.

The only thing missing, as we also pointed out to the manager there was sugarfree stuff.

So yeah, it definitely is a must try!

Happy eating 🦄✌🏽

Wonderful ambience. Fab cafe serves delicious North Indian food with a healthy twist. They have a lot of options for smoothies, juices, coolers, paratha, subzi etc.. Tried the chaat and really loved it. The quantity of the potato chaat was very good and the sauces tasted amazing :) A good place to visit with friends and family for an evening. Very good staff. Good venture by Fabindia- always been a fan of their products!
