A Feast as Joyous as the Festival Itself

The all-day menu at Pause is a vibrant celebration of seasonal produce, brought to life with imagination and finesse by Pooja Masurkar – Founding Chef & Culinary Innovator. Start your morning with wholesome breakfast favourites like the Eggless Akuri Toast, Tropical Smoothie Bowl, or the boldly inventive Kimchi Pancakes. For lighter bites, explore fresh layers of flavour in the Rainbow Salad Rolls, Thecha Cheese Grill (made with cashew and almond cheese), Broccoli Millet Salad, or Jackfruit Sliders. When it’s time for heartier plates, signature mains like the Plant-Based Mac ‘n’ Cheese, Mediterranean Bowl with Kodo Millet Tabbouleh, Tofu Schnitzel Wrap, and Jackfruit Makhani reimagine comfort food with nourishing, plant-powered twists.

Staying true to its philosophy of mindful dining, Pause also serves a thoughtfully curated no onion, no garlic Jain menu, ensuring inclusivity and thoughtful options for every palate.
