I cannot emphasize enough how much you need to try this place! This is by far the best hidden gem in all of New England for plant-based and flexitarian eaters. TRY THE TOFU FRITTERS OR BURGER! I’ve been vegetarian for 10 years and have always tried tofu but I had never tried anything even remotely similar to the way this places does tofu. It was so flavorful and you can’t get anything like it anywhere else that I’ve ever been. I promise you, even the biggest tofu haters will love it. The service was also great and the atmosphere was super cute and cozy. The portions we received were also totally worth the price we paid and more than sufficient (we all ended up needing to-go boxes) so don’t listen to those other reviews. 10/10 for sure

Vegetarian options: The tofu and falafel is to die for! Their tofu is truly unique and much better than any tofu you’ve ever had before (coming from a tofu lover). The falafel sate appetizer was also super inventive and delicious; I had never thought to put falafel with a curry sauce and it was a great pairing.

It’s worth a try. Great salad dressing. They’ve been offering vegan items for years. Much respect.

I like the food but if the Uber driver doesn't match like 90% of the time and then steals half my stuff it's really a huge let down.. food safety is not a priority here and I'm sick of the lying. If you can't qualify to deliver Uber eats then I don't want you showing up at my door plain and simple

Warm helpful staff. You won’t go hungry!

Ordered for delivery. Got the tofu burger salad. Very bland, and lacking any flavor. Rice was almost inedibly uncooked. “Tahini dressing” is a long stretch. It was abot 90% water / filler and 10% tahini.

I have been going to the like for years and years. It was amazing, but since the new ownership a couple years ago it has not been the same. The portions are not what they used to be (I needed to order extra chicken for the blackened chicken wrap just to get the same amount as it should have). You shouldn’t have bought the restaurant if you have to cut corners and compromise the integrity of the food. The rice used to be amazing - now it’s just regular rice and mine today was barely cooked. They used to give out a good amount of zucchini bread and it was amazing. Now you have to ask for it. This is what made me, and so many others love the lime. I keep giving it one more chance but don’t think I can after my lunch today. To the owner - Please restore what the restaurant was when you took it over!!

Wow!! Just had a quick lunch and what a pleasant surprise. My husband and I had the Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad and it was delicious. Perfectly grilled and seasoned chicken over spring greens with blue cheese, julienned yellow and red peppers and perfectly ripe avocado. The vinegarette was spectacular - had to be house made. And the side of rice was so different...a lime dressing?? Slice of cantaloupe completed our perfect lunch!! Service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. You must try The Lime Restaurant.

Everything was severely underwhelming except the cran-apple juice. Falafel, tofu burger and the chicken pita wrap were simply awful. My son ate the falafel and everything else we just left on the table. I complained about the chicken pita wrap being so dry. Photo of my single bite for reference. What's worse is that our server offered no solution. He Just brought the full check. I tipped him because he's not cooking this food and i'm not a j**** Will never come here again, ever.

The owner of this business is super nasty, His attitude is ridiculous and they treat workers as slaves. He screams at them and make them feel useless. He is a short older man bold headed looking. I feel so bad for his employees. After seeing this i would never go back to this place, he doesnt care about costumers service or his employees. I tired to help and he started screaming at me told me “to mind my business”. This place needs a new manager or owner who ever he is.
