Hum Garden Located on D10 Street, District 2, this restaurant impresses with its lovely garden space, close to nature. The word "Hum" is inspired by the Sanskrit mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum.

This mantra means "The Bodhi mind blooms in the human heart". The highlight of the restaurant's menu is the maximum use of clean food - in the direction of using organic products, organic orientation or certified ingredients from many localities. The dishes are rich, beautifully presented and almost retain the original flavor.
