This place used to be awesome before ownership change. I loved the veggie bowl with brown rice! Service was with a smile and atmosphere was welcoming. We went in a couple weeks ago and most of the tables were pushed together like they wanted to discourage dine-in and the dining room was dirty. They used to have a selection of fresh brewed ice tea. Now, just the hibiscus tea that they charge for refills. They even removed the fountain drinks and now sell only cans, again charging for refills. And the containers were filthy, you could see a hardened red ring around the dispenser. When we ordered there was no smile and we felt that our order was a burden. The gentleman working kept mumbling how short handed he was and made excuse after excuse for the sate of the restaurant. Unprofessional behavior at best. The food went downhill like the Hindenburg! The veggies were not even seasoned, rice bland and they even went from using fresh green beans and brussel sprouts, to using frozen, yuck! The only thing that was still the same were the prepackaged sauces. It was so nasty I decided not even to include pictures. It's sad to see so many places going downhill just because they're too lazy to make intelligent adjustments. I know how hard things can be, I was in the food business for 23 years, but this is just unacceptable on all levels. We will definitely not return.

First time trying and it was a great experience. The Greek salad is good size containing all the core ingredients of tomato, cucumber, pepercinnis, lettuce, potato salad and a good greek dressing. Also built two bowls with multiple options for protein, vegirables, bowl base and sauces. Tried steak and volcano shrimp. Both were well cooked and good portions. The bowl is good size with fresh vegetables. Tasty and all was fair price for quantity and quality. Will purchase again.

5 stars because it's keto friendly, 4 stars for the food, and that is not an insult. It's just not gourmet food. It is high quality healthy food. Had the PD steak, kids chicken tacos and a burger. Everything was freshly prepared ( I watched him make it) and all three of us were pleased. Big portions and a low price. Definitely recommended.

We ate here for the first time. Our meals consisted of, a ciabatta burger with an egg, cauliflower steak with broccoli and a protein bowl with a wrap on the side. Everything was freshly made, so it took a little time and well worth the wait! All meals were delicious and we would be back again!

So glad to see this place re-opened. This is one of those places where you can pick your meal by protein, carb, veg, sauce, etc. Yet they are so much more than that. They have fully prepared meals, or any combination you want. This Mediterranean taco really hit the spot. It has plenty of souvlaki style chicken seasoned just right, with asparagus and some homemade hummus on a flax seed lavash shell. It's served with a side greek salad that is a great combination. It rivals any greek restaurant with a healthier twist. They have options from just healthy to vegetarian to keto to vegan. Give them a shot, the food is prepared as you order and they are fast!!

The owner is a racist and openly so on his business Facebook. I guess, only eat here if you don't mind your burger with a side of hate. "If you are such a horrendously stupid individual that honestly believes I owe reparations money to a group that has never been a slave, and a race I never enslaved, unfriend me," he continued. "If you think trying a good cop for murder for a justified killing, unfriend me." The only reason this place is still in business is because of the cops and racists in this county that keep it thriving. Full article here:

I wish that I could give them more stars! Literally just left the place and I am impressed with the flavors they are rolling out of this restaurant! Try them out at least once and I guarantee that you will go back for more!

Loved the healthy options on the menu. The gentleman working there was super friendly. However, he needed help. He was working like crazy trying to keep up with the demand. I gave 3 stars as the food was good, a bit pricey for the quality and it did take 45 minutes to get my food. They were also out of ice in the machine. It wasn't super busy, but steady. My feedback to the restaurant is try to find someone to help prep, take orders and let the gentleman do the cooking. Most people on a lunch break don't have 45 minutes. I would go back and try again. I just think it needs a little more staff.

Amazing food, awesome place! Would eat there everyday if I could. The food was was very flavorful and the healthy desserts also tasted great.

Food was bland, my asparagus was undercooked, the chicken was overcooked. It lacked flavor overall, which is surprising because I ordered blackened chicken and a chimichurri sauce on it, both are pretty powerful flavors. The personal "pizza" I ordered was pizza toppings on a tortilla, and it smelled bad. Not very appealing at all. Didn't even bother trying to eat the rest of my chicken bowl after I smelled the "pizza". I will never order from here again. I could've made these items better at my own home.

I'm gonna start off by saying I wasn't going in with the highest hopes, and man was I blown away. My food was cooked so well. The chunks of jerked chicken were juicy in the center, all while still retaining a spiced sear on the outside. I really enjoyed those charred bits in the edges of my zucchini, they gave for a fire roasted taste they helped enhance their flavor. The sauces were on point as well. Tried both the avocado and the tzatziki, both were gone before the end of the meal. All hail the sauces! Check this place out the next time you want some quick service food.

You gotta check this place out! A great local place to get a HEALTHY meal! I didn't check out their keto & SF desserts. Really great & flavorful, and a good portion size.

We swung in looking for a healthy lunch with lots of options. As we had kids in the car with us we did our best to order off the online menu, a few things were out of date, but that wasn't much of a bother as there was lots of different options. We had a huge spread of choices of meat, veggies, and base options. The food tasted good and the service was awesome. The amount of shrimp in our bowls was fantastic. I had the coconut curry which was on point. Wish we would have gotten a tad more sauce. Great place for a healthy meal would hit it up again. Hopefully the online menu gets updated soon.

Love coming here. It's very hard to find healthy food in Pasco county. The Tofu here is amazing . I love the bowls and the way I can modify them based on how I feel for the day. The desserts are great too. I will continue to make this one of my favorite spots.

I really wanted to like this place. The menu looked like great choices where you couldn't go wrong. It's hard to find truly healthier choices in restaurants. The kid taking the order seemed like he rather be sleeping. My order was not correct. The owner/ cook was nice so I left it slide & was happy with what he took the time to cook for me. However the food, I found to be very oily. & I have since been violently ill. Pure water diarrhea I had to stop 5 times before I even got home only 14 miles away. My daughter & her friend threw up & they have been pouring out water diarrhea as well. We all got different items. The owner seen me throw out my entire untouched drink, my untouched pickled grey egg, majority of my food & offered to let him know next time I come if the food is bad. There definitely will never be a next time. I currently am soaking in the tub & hoping my insides calm down.
