The Food
The menu at Superfood has changed significantly since we last visited. The menu is now divided into two; you can either order a Harvest Bowl, which are prefixed bowls with set ingredients or you can
Make Your Own Bowl. There are 9 Harvest Bowl options to choose from and it varies from vegan and vegetarian to meat and seafood and there are two bowl sizes; small or medium with the difference in the bowls being a mere Rs. 200. We opted to order their Pesto
Chicken Harvest Bowl in medium size (Rs. 1300). For the base, we had mixed salad leaves, basil and rocket leaves with a side of couscous, avocado, tomatoes, celery, bean sprouts, mung beans, cucumber, long radish, garlic carrot, quail egg and the proteins were grilled chicken thighs along with a green pea sauce and a pesto sauce. With over 15 ingredients in a bowl, the Pesto Chicken bowl looked quite intimidating at first glance, but once we mixed all our ingredients in and dug into it, we experienced how well each ingredient worked with each other.
Our favourite was the Make Your Own Bowl options because it allows you to pick your favourite ingredients and it’s a lot more fun. A small bowl is priced at Rs. 1100 and a medium bowl is priced at
Rs. 1300 and you can choose 2 bases, 6 main ingredients, 1 protein and 2 sauces but you can also add – on extra ingredients at a nominal price.
Our Make Your Own Bowl was a little eccentric. We chose mixed salad leaves and warm quinoa for our base and our main ingredients were a mix of vegetables and fruits like avocado, strawberries, apples, celery, roasted pumpkin and herbs. For our protein we picked their grilled salmon for an extra Rs. 100 (but it's totally worth it!) and our sauces were the mustard vinaigrette, and, since we were feeling a little adventurous, the baked eggplant paste. We also added some mozzarella cheese balls and grilled halloumi cheese.
The eclectic variations of flavours and textures in our made up bowl were quite unique. Adding in fruits gave a certain sweetness to the dish and the two different kinds of cheese really contrasted in texture as mozzarella is soft and has a lactic taste while the halloumi is semi – hard and salty when grilled. The protein options for making your own bowl are plenty with all kinds of meats and seafood with no added costs but paying an extra Rs. 100 for their grilled salmon is completely worth it because not only do they serve a large chunk of salmon, they also cook it perfectly.
As for our sauces, the mustard vinaigrette was a great choice, but the baked eggplant paste was a hit or a miss and depends entirely on personal preferences; you either really like it or you really don’t, and unfortunately, we didn’t really like it as a mixer for our salad.
Superfood also has vegan dessert of which we tried their vegan Apple Pie (Rs. 690). In the future, Superfood plans to introduce sugar free desserts made with dates. All the vegetables used in the making of the bowls are completely fresh as they are brought in daily and the cheeses are brought from a
Sri Lanka based cheese producer specialising in European quality cheeses and none of the sauces have sugar and even the drinks substitute sugar with kithul.
