All the ingredients are fresh, locally sourced, wholesome and made with love to nourish the soul. Jyoti says, “I love the creativity and freedom when experimenting with seasonal ingredients, this allows me to offer a forever-evolving menu.” One of Jyoti’s favourite dishes is the vegan scramble with baked shrooms and green eggs with jalapeno sauce. But right now, Jyoti is also crushing on roast pear and parsnip ravioli with rosella flower and shallot vinegar – this flavoursome dish is featured on the dinner menu. 

Pollen 185 is also known for its coffee, where the organic beans have been roasted locally with almond, brasil and cashew nut mylk, all made in-house. There are also beautiful smoothies, juices (including cold pressed), house-made chutneys and jams on offer.
