    I always go grocery shopping at MOMs, but this was the first time I actually stopped at Naked Lunch to grab something to eat. I love how unique their vegetarian and vegan dishes are, and I'm glad to see such tasty food options for those of us who have a restricted diet. Although there were many great options to choose from, I decided to get the cauliflower tacos. It tasted delicious! It was a cauliflower and chickpea filling with lettuce, and the dressing was a delicious vegan crema and salsa verde. The dish came with three tacos that were a pretty decent size and was very filling. I definitely recommend!

    Confetti Bowl!!

    Tucked away inside MOM's grocery store is an unassuming vegan counter serving up delicious bowls of healthy goodness. I went on a whim and was surprised to see a line around dinner time on a Thursday. Word must be out! I got the Confetti Bowl: brown rice with black beans, mixed peppers, olives, corn, tomatoes and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and lots of jalapeños. The rice, beans and olives were soft, dark and warm and the veggies were bright and crispy. And just enough jalapeños to give it a little bite! It was tasty and filling - the portion was much bigger than I expected. I'm definitely coming back. You need to give this place a try. And I'm asking for more jalapeños next time!

    If I could afford to do so, I would eat here EVERY SINGLE DAY. Can't beat super fresh and delicious food prepared with sincere smiles. The food, pressed juice, and staff are superb.

    Cannot believe I never knew this place existed before today and now it honestly may be one of my all-time favorite food establishments for lunch. Just wish it was in walking distance because if it was, I would probably go Every. Single. Day. Tried their Sushi Bowl (incredibly yummy). The lovely lady behind the register offered me a sample of their split pea/butternut squash soup (since I was eying it as I waited for them to finish making up the bowl) and it was SO good I got a 32 oz container of it in addition to the Sushi Bowl. (Note: the Sushi Bowl is gone and there's only about 6 oz of the soup left!) The restaurant is *inside* MOM's Organic Market (which is a treat in itself to walk through), so you can conveniently enough pick up groceries and lunch all in one trip: how perfect is that?

    Pink (something) juice

    Hmmm.. I have mixed feeling about this place! I think I would have loved this place if I had gone for lunch, because their salads look really good. I went in the evening on a rainy day so I probably didn't enjoy the food all that much. Anyhow, I had the confetti bowl and my friend had bean burger. The portion of confetti bowl was huge, the burger looked decent. My friend surely enjoyed the burger. But I had hard time finishing my bowl. The freshly made juice was awesome though. The place is inside a grocery store Moms. There is not lot of seating area, so I would say it's a great place for grabbing lunch!

    Love it! Got the salad bowl with spinach sweet potato corn zucchini pineapple avocado and got chimichurri and sesame ginger on the side. Everything was just so delicious and fresh! Love that you can swap out whatever you want for the bowls and can make your own combo.. All the sauces were delicious too! Good healthy option for lunch!

    Its a counter inside the front of Mom's Market -- Nice healthy filling meal that makes you feel good about yourself after. The curry dressing was AMAZING (they should market this stuff). The veggie burger was also really good here - mostly sweet potatoes and beans. By the sauces they even have nutritional yeast too so you can get your B12 in :) I'd definitely return!

    I have passed by this place so many times and I am so upset that I am just now discovering it. Naked Lunch, to me, is like a blend of sweetgreen with the food bar at whole foods. There are bowls, sandwiches, salads, a few baked goods and an occasional entree or two. As I have only ever had the bowls, I will focus on those. They have a menu of various bowl types with different veggies, legumes, dressings, etc. Or you can create your own. Everything is super fresh and the veggies are perfectly steamed. I tend to find the bowls are sometimes on the dry side so I will often as for a little extra dressing. The employees are awesome and super patient when one is indecisive (Me?! Never! Actually, wait a minute.....)

    Always a great vegan meal!! Located inside MOMs Organic Market this place is fantastic. The servers are very accommodating and friendly. Easy to see the market from Randolph Road and has lots of parking. The food is SSSOOO FRESH and delicious. I got the Crowder bowl and asked not to have it steamed, dressing on the side. I also got 2 juices, The Pink Lady, kombucha on the side and another with carrots, apples and ginger. SO FRESH and HEALTHY!! Love that I can pick up a few groceries along with a great lunch. Would have given it a 5 star but it is organic pricey. The small juice is $6.50 each and the bowl is $9.50. I asked for a few additonal things which cost $.75 extra per item. I will say the portions are big, my 5 year old and I shared the bowl. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for foodies!! Especially vegan foodies.

Butter chicken Daal (lentils) Veggie biryani Chickpea masala We should've expected it, but we also received a ton of basmati rice, and got the lemon cardamom and eggnog tres leches churro cakes. Every single item was a 10/10, honestly. The butter chicken was so creamy and cashew based, and was easily my favorite item, though everything was fantastic. This might be the best Indian food in Maryland... I'm not shy to say that given how much I've had (though there is still plenty more to try). Applause. Give this place several claps for having amazing vegan desserts and amazing Indian food. If you haven't had it yet, what are you waiting for?!

He went to prepare our table, then showed us to a wonderful outdoor seating area. Our server, Ava came out to great us . She was just fabulous and assisting us to try a little bit of everything. She had high praise for the chef and she was right. She was both courteous and friendly. We visited during happy hour. We had two drinks. My honey had Apreol spritz and I had a Mezcal maybe. Both drinks were delicious and well-made. Next came the delicious food. We had the kimchi baos, spicy tuna maki roll, the spicy tuna hand roll, and the summer roll. The last thing we ordered was the udon noodles. All of the food was delicious, but I must say that the udon noodles were a standout. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the creamy sauce gave me my first food epiphany! We didn't try everything on the menu, but I'm sure there are more delicious gems to be had.

So one random week I decided to contact them just to inquire about their prices, flavors and such (I found this info on their website). They actually didn't respond until over a week later, and I realized it was because they were out of the country! So they let me know when they would be returning and so I contacted them again then. By some insane twist of fate, the day they said to contact them also happened to be National Donut Day -- obviously a sign. It turns out they don't have delivery right now (probably because they just returned?) so I had to arrange a pickup.

The hummus is very good. The babaganoush is very smokey. The falafel are the best I have found other than the world famous Maoz, I just wish they were bigger so they would stay hot and moist longer. T. $6 for 5 doesn't feel right when I could eat 20 of them so unfortunately I won't be ordering them again. The falafel are clearly labeled vegan and gluten free, as are many other items. The sauces are very good and they squirt them from bottles that dispense a generous amount. The meat unfortunately does not come right off the spit but is held in a metal bin like chipotle so they can keep the line moving, but you can see the 3 giant spits roasting away in the back. The last thing I love about this place is that you get something you simply can not make at home. Even if you make shawarma style chicken and have rice and greens, there's no way you're making hummus and babaganoush and all the sauces and then you'd also have to buy 20 ingredients for the toppings... It's the same idea as chipotle or if you know Cava, it's more like that. The price starts at $12.99 and the only thing that raises the price is if you get lamb or steak or double meat. All toppings are included. It's worth mentioning again, the hummus is very good, perhaps the best I've ever had. Not only great flavor but it's the creamiest smoothest hummus.

This flavor profile emphasized the juicy, slow roasted flavor of the chicken, with parsley salad adding sharp herbal notes and the garlic sauce adding creamy richness. The supreme chicken shawarma had saj bread, chicken, hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, pickled red cabbage, pickles, and garlic sauce. I added spicy harissa and diced onions to it at no additional cost. The sauces and varies ingredients made this taste like a combo halal rice bowl. Price point seems quite reasonable for the quantity and customizability.
