Picture this: your stomach begins its own protest, and suddenly, the day feels like an uphill battle. In the intricate dance between hunger and irritation, the ancient adage 'you are what you eat' steps into the spotlight. Let's embark on a journey into the realm of food therapy at Flayva, where we unveil the enchanting link between your plate and your overall well-being.

A Symphony of Flavors

Our food hall is a symphony of tastes, taking you on a journey from the familiar to the exotic. From the kick of spicy Korean BBQ to the warmth of comforting Ramen, the explosive flavours of Dum Biryani and the smoky grills. 

While food therapy isn't just a concept; it's backed by the science of how certain ingredients can influence your mood. Take serotonin, for example, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood. Foods like bananas, turkey, and dark chocolate contain tryptophan, an amino acid that helps produce more serotonin, elevating your mood.

Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, nuts, and seeds reduce brain inflammation, contributing to improved mood. Even spices like turmeric and ginger boast anti-inflammatory properties, reducing stress and anxiety. It's not just a meal; it's a mood-enhancing experience.

Beyond Ingredients: The Experience

At Flayva, we go beyond the plate. Picture a vibrant and lively environment, perfect for sharing a meal with friends or family.
