My mixed grains and salad bowl with braised lamb was really good. The flavor profile was amazing. Definitely putting in my lunch rotation.
I was so excited for this place! I heard great things about it so when I went in today, I was really hopeful. The people working there weren't super helpful. It was my first time in and I asked a bunch of questions but got a lot of short answers. There was some tension or something with the staff as one person was helping me, then another got moved into that position and then she grumbled some complaint under her breath that she wasn't supposed to be in that position... that was odd and uncomfortable.
Finally, the food. I got the white rice and it was lumpy, which is always disappointing. I also got the falafel, which was like mashed potatoes inside, no texture whatsoever. I'm disappointed and probably won't go back.
Updated review:
I have since been back and had better experience ls than the first go around. Getting a little extra rice and multiple “protein” categories has helped make up for the fact I don’t get so baby toppings. Still think it’s a bit in the salty side, but it’s great for grabbing a quick bite. I love that they have spindrift drinks too.

I tried this new restaurant recently and really wanted to like it. The fact that it is allergen friendly is a huge plus to me. However, my food was only ok. The flavor was decent but it was fairly salty, and since I didn’t order a lot of the “toppings”, I didn’t actually get all that much food, and my bowl looked kinda empty. I feel like they could have been a little more generous with the base, although perhaps that’s on me for not explaining sooner. My friend who ate with me got meatballs that were undercooked (they did give her a fresh bowl with fully cooked meatballs when she brought it back up though). The interior was over air-conditioned and freezing cold. So I overall wasn’t impressed. Maybe I’ll go back sometime... maybe not.
Delicious, healthy food at a reasonable price. Ordered a grains + greens bowl and the crazy feta was amazing. The chicken was seasoned well and it's super easy to order and customize what you want.
Fun, exciting, and trendy. They have really good food and friendly attentive staff. Definitely recommend the grains and greens bowl and the pita. Crazy feta is delicious. They also have an eclectic drink selection, I kinda like it.
