We will never eat here again. After eating a falafel wrap 2 nights ago, I have been sick to my stomach!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roots to Rise is truly a gift to our community. Founded by Chefs Jyoti Tewani and Michael Kagan, (who created the best grain free bread you will ever taste!)this restaurant has become our absolute go-to because every dish is prepared with genuine love and care. You can taste the attention to detail in every bite. I never worry about ingredients, preservatives, or sourcing—everything is thoughtfully chosen and beautifully prepared. Chef Jyoti's Ayurvedic background means the food is created with healing in mind, but don't mistake healthy for boring. These dishes are rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Whn I eat here I know I am giving my body the best! Beyond exceptional food, they've built a true community. They educate customers about wellness and food choices, and I've heard amazing stories—one regular shared how Chef Jyoti created a personalized meal plan that helped him lose weight and improve his heart condition. The customers have become like family, and it's clear why so many return again and again. Roots to Rise has created a space where we gather, connect, and nourish ourselves with food made with true integrity and heart. They go the extra mile in ways no other restaurant does. Simply put, you can feel the love they cook into every creation.

Five stars for the chaat samosa bowl and the mulligatawny soup. Incredible. So invigorating, so fresh. Now the gluten-free bread that comes with the soup? Gross. Smells and tastes like a pile of gym clothes. But that samosa bowl and soup? Incredible and cannot wait to get it again. The beet burger is also pretty good, especially with the spicy aioli, but nothing beats the latter dishes. Trying the tofu-bean wrap next time, too.
5 stars!!!!

So, so good! Lots of healthy options, including some great salads. I saw honey listed on one packaged item, so if you are vegan and you do not consider honey vegan, consider double checking that your order does not contain honey.

Great food and wonderful service.

I do not know a better place for delicious yet healthy food. Being gluten free and vegan does not come at expense for the taste (especially in the Mumbai Cheese Toast and Double Chocolate Muffin)!! So delish!!!

The pale girl with pretty eyes was so kind and hospitable! The food was also amazing! So perfect for my gluten free child.
Ariana was so helpful in helping me choose what food I wanted!

My wife and I have eaten here multiple times this past year and the food and service has always been great, except for our last visit several weeks ago. I have always ordered the vegetable panini with basil pesto sauce, which is usually delicious. Unfortunately on our most recent visit the panini was extremely salty and spicy, so much so that I could barely eat it (but I did). In hindsight I should have brought it to their attention but didn't until after I ate it. I spoken with the manager owner who proceeded to thank me for letting her know. I don't recall getting an apology and there was no effort made to make it up to me. All she said was she would taste the sauce to determine if it was made properly, which I assumed she would do immediately. When my wife and I were leaving I asked her if she sampled the sauce. Her response was that she would after finishing her coffee. There was obviously no concern about the quality of the food they are serving and certainly no concern about her customer's discontent with the food nor did she care about me as a customer. No apology and no effort to make it up to me. She just thanked me again for letting her know. My wife and I eat out regularly, and rarely if ever get treated so poorly. Considering the prices they charge they could certainly be more customer oriented, but she certainly didn't have a clue. We will not be returning!
