The first time I saw came upon this restaurant, was a few months ago. I was with boyfriend and we had originally wanted to try another place. I was standing around and saw this pretty wooden sign with "Gaba Concept" on the wall. I thought ... what is that? A few days later, my coworker went there and said it was a restaurant that served healthy, low sugar food. It told boyfriend and he said ... yeah. Low sugar. Go on your own.Gaba Concept is a restaurant with a difference. They aren't just your
Gaba Concept is a restaurant with a difference. They aren't just your regular "organic" or "vegetarian" place. Hardly. Their purpose is to serve low GI (glycemic index), low sugar and dairy free meals including desserts! So, you can have your cake ... and eat it, too, without feeling guilty of eating a gazillion calories.
So, today after a pretty hard yoga class, I came here for lunch.
You have to press the code on the door (it's written on the plaque) to let yourself in. Then you walk up the stairs to the restaurant. There is no elevator. After that workout, you're ready to eat healthy!
The restaurant is spacious with a large window to let in lots of natural light.
There's a DJ system at one part of the restaurant. Apparently, the owner is a DJ and he likes to DJ on certain weekends at the restaurant. I should note, the music chosen at this place was a nice selection of music. Every single piece I liked.
I was presented with the lunch menu. Everything was under $100 and included the daily soup, salad and daily tea or daily juice. There was no 10% service charge. You can add $15 for coffee and $25 for their daily dessert. I chose the bell pepper frittata.
It seemed everything was made to order as every thing came rather slowly. Including my drink which came last.The daily salad was cucumber and okra. The cucumbers were fresh and crunchy. It had a subtle tartness from the vinegar.
The daily soup was tomato and carrot. It was thick and chunky. Very rich in tomato flavor and felt almost like a gazpacho.
Bell pepper frittata with multigrain rice and satay sauce. Satay sauce was very peanut in flavor with a touch of spice. The fritatta was soft and fluffy. The multigrain rice was soft and fluffy.
I had the daily juice which was mango/passionfruit juice. You can tell no added sugar was added to this as it was not sweet. Just tasted like mango and passionfruit.
I saw they have a Wednesday special where you order their special dessert, you get a latte or cappucino for free. I'm curious if their desserts are good as they will be using no sugar but other sweetening methods. I will be back.
