Project Hum
Healthy, Cafe, Farm-to-table · ₹₹ · Bandra West
Project Hum is a small farm-to-table café in Gasper Enclave on St John Street, Bandra West, near Pali Hill. It opened in September 2022, started by three hotel-management classmates, Raghav Simha, Pragun Bajaj and Jatin Talreja, who were on the Forbes India 30 Under 30 list in 2025. Hum is Hindi for "we", and the idea is to buy straight from farmers: produce comes from farmer producer organisations around Junnar, Nashik and Nanded. A second café opened in Versova in January 2025.
The menu is short and changes with the seasons: wraps such as the Fiery Chipotle and the Thai It Up, bowls like the Habibi Mediterranean with falafel and hummus, sandwiches including a prawn ghee roast and a Korean chicken, and coffee, matcha and Vietnamese cold brew. It is not a vegetarian café; chicken, prawns and fish sit alongside plenty of vegetarian dishes. The sweet potato fries and the Hum chocolate cake are what reviewers mention most.
The Bandra café is compact, with a shared community table and a few outdoor seats, so it can feel cramped at lunch. LBB puts a meal for two at about ₹1,300. It is open every day from 11 AM to 11 PM.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Project Hum, and is there one in Juhu?

Is Project Hum vegetarian?
No. It serves chicken, prawn and fish dishes as well as many vegetarian ones, so check the menu if you eat only vegetarian food.
What should I order?
The sweet potato fries and the Hum chocolate cake are the reviewers' favourites. Add a wrap or a bowl, and a Vietnamese cold brew or matcha to drink.

Google Maps lists the Bandra café as open every day from 11 AM to 11 PM. Its phone number is +91 91378 83053.
How much does it cost?
LBB puts a meal for two at about ₹1,300.
How do I get there?
It is in Bandra West near Pali Hill, about 1.4 km from both Bandra and Khar Road stations on the Western line, so a short rickshaw ride or a 15 to 20 minute walk.
What does farm-to-table mean at Project Hum?
The founders buy from farmer producer organisations in Maharashtra rather than from wholesale markets, feature a farmer of the month, and change the menu with the harvest.
