Dr. Karan & Dr. Gati
The Doctor Couple!
Dreams & Mocktails (D&M) was originally founded in 2019 by a passionate foodie doctor couple with a vision to provide healthy and hygienic fast food to the community without compromising the taste. Our Café is currently serving western part of Ahmedabad. It is India's first café which is being run by a doctor couple. Majority of the recipes are curated with a special focus on Health and Glycemic Index Balancing. The restaurant industry is growing at a very fast pace but the quality of food served is decreasing day by day with the use of substandard and harmful ingredients. D&M ensures the use of premium quality ingredients in all of their recipes as the ethics are set by doctors themselves.
Our Recipe Curator!
Dr. Karan Shah, apart from having his M.B.B.S. and M.D. degree is also having Internationally accredited Diploma in Weightloss, Diploma in Diet Planning, Diploma in Nutrition, Diploma in Fitness and Diploma in Dietary Supplement Advisor. He himself is an excellent chef and has curated every detail of our stellar recipes. He believes that the health food industry is going in a wrong direction by promoting diet foods and salads (the so called FAD foods). He firmly believes that fitness is a journey and not a destination. You have to modify your eating lifestyle in such a way that it can be continued till life. Keeping this in mind, majority of our recipes are curated via removing the most unhealthy elements in them. Dr. Karan has his own transformation story to back this up!
Dr. Karan's journey from Fat to Fit!
Our founder, Dr. Karan Shah is having his own transformation story. He was weighing 108 Kgs in 2017, when he realized that he will have to do something as his weight was hazardous to health. He started exercising and going to gym for the first time in his life. But after a month of joining the gym, he realized that only exercise is not sufficient to make yourself fitter. He then started researching about various diets and nutrition related info available across the world. He came to know that making healthy eating habits is not a rocket science but majority of our community is unaware of the same. He implemented his own research in the diet without compromising the taste or turning to salads and soups (the so called diet food). He got tremendous results in the form of fatloss and he was weighing 72 Kgs just after 6 months of starting this balanced dietary approach. That was a whopping 36 Kg transformation. He struggled a lot to manage his meals as he was pursuing his residency and there was not a single restaurant which was following these basic dietary principles. Based on his own experience, he realized that there was an urgent need to open such kind of restaurant which follows the right dietary principles and help people make healthier choices. The most important part about his transformation is he being able to maintain the same since last five years. Dreams & Mocktails follows all his dietary principles in it's menu by which he was able to lose extra fat.
