Long established wholefood shop stocking a large range of organic, vegetarian and vegan products. Sells sandwiches, juices, salads and hot savoury dishes to take-away. There are also a few tables for eating on the spot.
A little known treasure in the BLoomsbury area and all within walking distance of russell square, kings X and the british library. My favourite thing to do it to drop on by and pick up a little something 'naughty' , yet surprisingly healthy for breakfast, the selection of freshly made 'healthy' muffins are a must! And as the other revieer mentioned, you shall be well on your way to being healthier from the inside out...
So there's a small counter for freshly made muffins, breads etc. and the rest of Alara is take over by what is best described as a health food shop. But holland and barratts this isn't - thank goodness! Whilst there are an array of surprisingly wide ranging vitamins etc, where this place shines is in the provision of a tempting selection of healthy eats and treats. If you cannot be bothered to cook, or are too busy brokering those deals over power lunches, then this is the perfect place to buy a power dinner. Even the convenient food is super healthy, and super tasty! Microwave dinners that are actually good for you, and retain full falvours that make you want more - well who could ask for more!
So next time your in the area drop on by to Alara , check out and pick up something a little healthy, your body and tast budes will thank you for it.
Alara is a rare find. Every time I eat here I end up feeling a little healthier than when I went in. It's terribly worthy. You won't find a better organic, locally-sourced, GM-free, hand-knitted muesli kinda place in this area.
The supermarket section is ace, and has lots of interesting and salubrious products from around the world. I especially like their selection of herbal teas (you can find the Celestial Seasonings brand here, imported from the US), and they have a stunning array of organic and complimentary health products. They have Dr. Hauschka, Weleda and Rescue Remedy coming out of their ears.
It's the lunch counter that draws crowds during the day, though. They have a good selection of hot and cold foods, and the menu changes daily. It's all self-service, and priced by weight, so you're guaranteed not to overload your plate, or your paunch.
Eat here, and your body will thank you. I challenge anyone to not feel more...er...regular after their visit. Go on. Go regularly.
