Empowering health in Richmond Hill: Female entrepreneur introduces Healthy Choice Restaurant

In a courageous endeavor to champion healthy eating and lifestyle changes, a visionary female businesswoman, alongside her prominent husband with a remarkable 20-year history in the community, over one year ago opened the Green Leaf Bistro in the heart of Richmond Hill, Queens, New York. This dynamic duo’s commitment to the neighborhood goes beyond decades of business — they are on a mission to redefine the local culinary landscape.

Recognizing the scarcity of accessible and nutritious dining options in the area, real estate guru Karl Mohan and Tashanie Jameer, set out to address the gap by establishing this health-conscious haven for the community. They envisioned a space where the community could savor delicious, nutrient-rich meals without leaving their neighborhood.

Since its opening, the impact of Green Leaf Bistro on the community has been nothing short of amazing. The outpouring of support from residents is overwhelming, as people express their excitement and gratitude for having a health-focused dining option right in their backyard.

Their menu reflects a careful curation of dishes designed to provide essential nutrients while maintaining a balance of high protein and fewer carbs. From vibrant salads bursting with fresh ingredients to protein-packed entrees, every item is crafted to align with the principles of a healthy lifestyle.

The visionary business owners are keen on dispelling the misconception that healthy eating equates to bland or tasteless food. “Eating healthy does not mean compromising on flavor; in fact, we believe healthy is delicious,” Tashanie asserts. The menu at the Green Leaf Bistro is a testament to this philosophy, offering a delightful array of dishes that tantalize the taste buds while promoting overall well-being.
