We sell bowls, wraps, salads, smoothies, coffee and matcha. We do not sell health, because health is an outcome that depends on your whole diet, your activity, your sleep, your genetics and your medical history, and a restaurant can see none of those.
So the word does not go on our menu. What goes on instead is information.
What we publish
Every public component in the menu is listed on the nutrition page with per-100g values where our source data carries them. There are 176 of those rows. Sixty-four have at least one macro we cannot yet source, and those show as “Unavailable” rather than as a zero or an estimate.
Our menu builds are published per variant with the serving attached, rather than treating a flavour name as one fixed number. A Harissa build with chicken is 672.9 kcal as a 300g bowl and 565.9 as a 280g salad, both lab-certified. The Lebanese declarations predate a dip change and await recertification, so we withhold their totals despite matching database records. We print the heavy ones next to the light ones. Where there is no published value at all — the Asian wraps, most of the desserts — the page says so instead of showing an old export.
What we refuse to print
- A number we estimated, presented as measured. If we calculated it from a recipe rather than measuring it, that is a different confidence level and it should be visible.
- Zero in place of a missing value. A blank field means we do not know. It does not mean none.
- "Allergen free" from an empty allergen field. Absence of a record is not absence of an allergen, and getting that wrong hurts somebody.
- Organic, farm to table, or superfood. The first two we cannot certify. The third has no definition to certify against.
- A health outcome. No food we sell will fix your energy, your skin or your weight, and any menu that says otherwise is selling something other than food.
Why this is a commercial decision, not a moral one
Claims that cannot be checked stop working the moment somebody checks. A customer who reads our nutrition page and finds a suspiciously complete set of numbers has learned that our numbers are not to be trusted, and there is no recovering that.
Sixty-four unavailable fields look worse on a page and are worth more than sixty-four invented ones. That is the whole argument.
What "real food" means when we say it
Ingredients you can name, built in front of you, with the component list published. Not a nutritional grade. Not a promise. A description of how the food is made and how much of it we are willing to show you.
The rest is your call, which is where it belongs. Browse the current menu and check anything you like before you order it.
