It delivers on what people expected from Subway back in the day and current day Chipotle. You can order tons of vegetables that are perfectly prepared and make the bowl of your choice. I love getting the spinach base with pickled onion, corn, crispy onions, hard boiled eggs, chicken, sweet potato. It is just that... and so yummy! The price is reasonable too! I ordered takeout here and the food was immediately ready at the time promised. The stag kindly greeted me and had me on my way. The store fits the mark too. Current decor, well laid out, and just downright comforting. I'll be going to Roots for many more lunches.

When I first came in, the girl who greeted me was very welcoming and kind. She could see I hadn't been there before and explained how it all worked. I was happy when she said I could make my own. She was patient as I walked through the options and chose what I wanted. Made my own bowl with steak, rice and veggies with lemon tahini dressing. Soooo good! It was $16 for the bowl but I ate half today and will eat half tomorrow. I think k it's a big portion and a good deal. I'd like to come back and try another option. Check them out.

Great spot for lunch takeout on Pitt campus. Roots has done a good job filling the fast casual…read moreniche with some healthy feeling, largely vegetarian options. Most bowls are rice, greens, and/or beans based with various vegetables for toppings. Heartier than a salad but healthier than Chipotle. I've gotten lunch there a few times and have always been satisfied. My favorite bowl is El Jefe, which comes with rice, kale, black beans, corn, red onion, avocado, and a protein topping (I like the miso tofu but you can also get chicken). The bowl also comes with cilantro/lime sauce, which I do not get because it's very salty. That's my one complaint about Roots - despite their healthy ingredients, their bowls can get quite saucy and salty if you go with the default options. This particular location is well-staffed, so service is usually quick, but it can get a rush of students around 12pm.

The bowl was good but I was a little disappointed in the portion. Roots is a little bit more expensive than other similar options but I usually don't mind as they often give me a very full bowl, but that wasn't the case with the Gary bowl. It was less full than the bowls I usually get along with being very heavy on the rice and not too much chicken or even the kale. Aside from that it was still yummy but I think I'll be going back to my regular order next time.

My frittata was excellent. Stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes and a nice side salad. I was most impressed by the kid's menu. It wasn't a sugar overload; it was good, whole foods. My daughter devoured her eggs, seasoned potatoes (I was fighting her for them-- rosemary potatoes were amazing!), and her toast. Excellent service, and any restaurant that gives you a piece of delectable crumb cake when you sit down is 5 stars!

My husband and I ate one lunch here. We had no reservation, and we wore casual clothes. Our hostess/waitress served us well, although perhaps they could have lowered the window blinds for us. I ate the Portabella Mushroom Ravioli (4.5 stars). Several large raviolis contained mushrooms and were covered in tomatoes, basil, and a rich parmesan sauce. My husband ate the Chicken Parmesan (4.5 stars). Two large pieces of chicken were covered in a crispy breading, marinara, and three cheeses. On the side was an arugula salad. It was a generous serving size, so he had leftovers to eat at home later. At the end of the meal, our waitress gave us two free mint chocolates. My husband commented that this restaurant is decent for being in a department store. The total price for our two entrees and one soda was $48 plus tax and tip.

Hello Bistro's menu and ambiance are very different and appeal to a younger generation. Hello Bistro's menu items include salads, wraps, pastas, burgers, sides such as fries and soups, cookies, beverages, etcetera. Menu items may be customized. A kids' menu and catering are also available. Prices are reasonable. I have been a customer of this Hello Bistro in McCandless Township for a couple of years. I have felt happy with the quality of the foods and the employees' service, although my husband believes that a meal here made him sick a couple years ago. During my most recent visit, I ordered and paid for my food on a kiosk. I took a buzzer and told its number to an employee. Several minutes later, an employee handed my food to me. I got my food as takeout, although many tables and chairs were available. I usually order the salads (e.g., cranberry-apple-chicken salad and Thai-peanut salad), and I like their large size and their fresh and healthy ingredients. I also like the harvest-vegetable soup and the sugar-free blackberry Bubbly soda.

Food:5/5 Before…read moreHanadi, most Mediterranean restaurants tasted pretty similar to me--similar herbs, spices, and sauces. I realized, I was definitely missing out. Though the wait was long (1hr on a busy Sunday), the food came out piping hot. Each dish was flavorful. The chicken shawarma was juicy, and had the right blend of spices and sauces without being overly heavy or soggy. The rice was simple side, but had nutty buttery taste profile complimented by the parsley garnish. And the friend cauliflower reminded me a bit of Indian Dahi Wada in flavor, but was piping hot and crispy. Now Hanadi's is my standard for good Mediterranean food Reasonably priced, fair portions, and good quality ingredients. Service: 3/10 Self order, food came out 1 hour late, but worth the wait. Ambiance: 3/10 Don't go for the ambiance, it looks like a humble family restaurant. But makes up for the interior with the quality of food. It was clean and tidy,

The vegetarian sampler platter is often my go-to, as an appetizer for sharing with someone or as an entrée for myself. Today I had it as an entrée while my friend had Sally's bowl, which also looked delicious. I very much enjoy the pomegranate green iced tea here and our server was happy to keep providing refills while my friend and I caught up over 2+ hours after not seeing each other for over a year, and never complained about needing to turn over the table. Granted, we were early in the day, starting at 11:30 and continuing through lunch hour, and there were always a couple of tables open, but it did get relatively busy during the lunch hour. This is located in a strip mall and has maybe a little less ambience than my usual location closest to home in Mount Lebanon; the thing I appreciate about that location is that it has outdoor tables set up during beautiful weather like today. Here, they don't seem to have that option on the strip mall outdoors so you are going to be eating inside or taking out. In any case, the food remains consistent and fabulous and the service is always great at every location I've tried. We didn't get dessert today as we were both very full and I was headed next to celebrate Easter with my family, but you can't miss with the absolutely decadent desserts here if you choose to get one.

So creamy and delicious and even more flavorful with the pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. The Chicken Pesto Pitza was so flavorful and delicious. Loved it! I always got the arayiss pitza but this is my new favorite. I want to try the Greek pitza sometime. It sounded really good. My husband always gets the super savor because it has a lot of different items and they're all delicious. We're obsessed with their cakes and actually come (although I am a little ashamed to admit it) regularly for them. The double fudge cake is my jam. It's so unbelievably moist and the fudge is out of this world. The carrot cake is always a favorite too. I'm also obsessed with their chocolate peanut butter brownies. My favorite combo. Whenever we want a delicious healthy meal, we always come to Aladdin's.

The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the cornbread cause it was drenched in butter and was just too rich for my taste, but my husband enjoyed it. The restaurant was full of character and the walls are lined with work from artists. My biggest question mark is the care of the dining room. Patrons are expected to clean their areas themselves, which doesn't always happen, so there was leftover trash or water jugs left at tables. I felt like I should've brought my own wipes to clean down a table before sitting as a "just in case" measure.
