Savour superfoods, herbal brews, and mindful dining at the Aujasya Cafe at The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences

Is it possible for a café to nourish not just your body, but your spirit too? Tucked beside the serene spa lobby of The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences, Aujasya Café is not just a post-treatment pitstop—it’s a sensory embrace, where wellness is served to you on a plate. Inspired by Aujasya by The Leela, the brand’s holistic wellness initiative, this new café feels like a natural extension of a spa ritual—only here, nourishment comes on a plate or in a cup, thoughtfully curated to mirror ancient wisdom with modern nutrition. ‘Aujasya’—Sanskrit for vitality—is not just the name; it’s the feeling you walk out with.

Step inside, and the ambiance does the heavy lifting. There’s a quiet intentionality to the space: natural textures, soft lighting, and a subtle sense of calm that gently invites you to pause. The air is subtly infused with the comforting notes of fresh herbs, perhaps just clipped from the hotel’s in-house hydroponic greenhouse, a signature touch that underscores The Leela’s farm-to-fork ethos. Yes, they grow their own herbs and vegetables—on property, sustainably and seasonally.

But while the design draws you in, it’s the menu that delivers holistic nutrition and seals the experience. Take the Seasonal Mushroom and Thyme Soup—at only 145 calories, it’s a warm, earthy bowl of comfort elevated by a delicate chevre cheese tart that melts just as you bite in—or the Thar Quinoa Salad, where roasted ash gourd and baby spinach echo India’s earthy bounty with each forkful. Another must-try is The Himalayan Earth Bowl—a riot of texture, flavour, and purpose with its red rice kedgeree, organic beets, and bean tofu. And just when you think wellness means skipping dessert, in comes the Wild Berry Popsicle, which will remind you of your childhood with its refreshing flavours of raspberries, blueberries, cherries & mint.

Even the beverages read like poetry. The 69-calorie ABCG Press (apple, beetroot, carrot, ginger) delivers both punch and purity, while the De Toxify Me is refreshingly restrained at just 28 calories. For those looking for more substantial sips, the Green Apple Smoothie or Blueberry & Chia Seed Smoothie hit the spot, and traditional wellness drinks like Turmeric Ashwagandha or Paradise of Kashmir round out a well-travelled menu. It’s also worth noting that the coffee, sourced from Hardoor Estate in Coorg, is exceptional—deep, nuanced, and just bold enough to anchor your afternoon.

Whether you’re popping in post-massage or simply seeking a beautiful space to reconnect with yourself over an herbal brew, Aujasya Café is indeed your place to be.
