“The grains are always perfectly cooked and the lamb is incredibly flavorful. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are generous.”
“Love the food but it costs too much for a bowl, plus extra for protein is getting ridiculous. Not worth it anymore at these prices.”
“The line was out the door at lunch and it took 25 minutes just to get to the counter. Way too long for fast casual.”
