    Falafel bowl with harissa sauce and side of tzatziki, sides include sweet potato, hummus, and feta
    Andrea M.

    First of all I'm really glad this addition was added to the food court because there are limited healthy options and Roots and Greens provides some refreshing new options. I want this place to stick around! That being said I did not really like my meal. I want to believe it's on me for choosing the wrong combo but I had a couple of issues. First, at least when I went, the rice was sitting out in a separate dish and was room temperature. I would like the rice to at least be warm, even better if it had some fragrant flavor like saffron rice should but I didn't taste it. Second, I got the falafel, which is something best served fresh or it gets dried out, unfortunately it was very dry even when dipping in the tzatziki so I did not finish it. The harissa sauce mixed with tzatziki was really good so I'm hopeful that a fresh and hot falafel with warm rice would have been much better than what I had today. Willing to try again. The staff was young but sweet and helpful, no complaints there.

    Regular customized plate $15.99, entree choice, salad/starch, and three toppings
    Melissa W.

    Customizable, fresh, healthy, and tasty. Wonderful addition to Ala Moana's food court. The price is fair, about $16-19, depending on your number of entree choices. They have grab and go containers for convenience but the best option is the 1-2 choice of protein plates which comes with choice of salad/starch and sides. I like to split the tumeric rice and mixed greens as the base. Then for my sides I love fresh options like their humus, beets, cucumber salad, or roasted Okinawan sweet potato. You also choose a dressing. The lemon vinaigrette is my go to and one or two protein choices. I've only tried the grilled salmon but the falafel and Mediterranean beef looks delicious too. They also top it with a fried pita chip which is crunchy and way better than the ones you find in a bag. Overall, its prices are comparable to all the food court vendors but the quality of food is superior. My new go to at the mall!

    Regular Bowl. half romaine/half pasta, cucumbers, feta, chickpea salad, souvlaki chicken thighs, green goddess dressing.

    I love that there is a healthy food option at the Ala Moana Food Court! You basically build your own salad bowl, from the base to the protein choices. Every protein choice I've gotten here is really good - I especially love the steak and the chicken. The portions are really generous, and the dressing options are numerous. The service is quick (since they make the bowl to order and right in front of you). The price is a bit high, but it's Ala Moana food court so it's to be expected. I am a huge fan of this place and recommend it if you're in the mood for something healthier while you're shopping at the mall!

    Regular size: half Basmati Rice & half Romaine Lettuce, cucumbers, hummus, garbanzo salad, falafels and tzatziki sauce
    Khierstin G.

    Curiosity led my husband and I here while waiting for our boys' order of Mr. Cow and we're automatically drawn to their falafels and assortment of salads and veggies. I'm not a big fan of basmati rice in general, not just here, but I feel that it lacks flavor. BUT little did I know, the sauces and dressings that they provide help curb that issue. I should have followed what my husband did instead of just asking for one sauce! I loved it here! Needless to say it was a lighter and healthier choice than a heavy rice plate and then having to walk around the mall with regret.

    Delicious steak salad with beets, cucumbers, eggs
    Kanani C.

    Still love this place. Great service, tasty entrees. This time got a large bowl, so 2 entrees-- great portion size for $20. However, got a huge clump of dirt in my salad. So it unfortunately messed up the entire bowl.

    Love the delicious gluten free options Filling and under $25 I've gotten the falafel, salmon and chicken options. I always get a cumin basmati and greens base mix, roasted purple potatoes, humus, chickpeas, and lemon dressing. So delicious!! I get the biggest size to be full and have breakfast the next day with whatever is extra!! Yum!! I've taken it to go and each at ala moana beach park under the trees or at the beach.

    Salad bar

    Absolutely love this place. There are pre-prepared options, and design your own salads. If feeling lazy then I usually buy premade salads either ceaser salad or possibly a middle eastern dish with falafel. On days I do make it your way..I choose regular size with the base, 2 sides, meat and sauces on the side. They have lettuce, rice, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes. Various cheeses, variety of dressings and the proteins...shall I go on? My favorite part of this experience are the meat varieties...salmon, grilled chicken, Mediterranean flavored beef, and the list goes on. Topping the dish with your favorite sauce or not is a nice finishing touch. Service is great! Super nice staff! Helpful! Clean kiosk and very bright which is inviting. Nice ambiance because it's in the crowded food court. One of the better food options!

    Fresh and delicious , my favorites are the hummus, pickled onions, hummus, harissa dressing. I can't wait to try the falafel

    Vegetarian option
    Chloe L.

    As a vegetarian, I was surprised by how many choices there were and how good everything tasted. The falafel was definitely my favorite, and I like mixing the pasta with the greens to make it more filling. The portions are big enough that I usually have leftovers for another meal, which I love. The people working there are always really kind and make the place feel welcoming.

    Haven't been to the food court over a year and a half cause all the food there is mediocre, but was hungry and decided to see if there was any new places and found this place amazing just look at the picture also smells so good and healthy at the same time. I will definitely be a regular so glad there's a place like this in the food court now.

    Caesar Wrap
    Sunny V.

    Located on the Makai food court. They have Build your own plates and options of cold or hot to go plates. I chose a Caesar Wrap. I chose this as a quick snack to share. The price of the wrap is kind of average but the chicken seemed like a bigger portion than most places, so that's why I chose it and it was pretty good. I really liked their house made Caesar dressing!

    Chicken and Steak

    Still my go-to spot for lunch or dinner whenever im in Ala Moana. Alex behind the counter is super cool, he's been working there a while now. They offer likely the cleanest eating in the entire food court. Freedom of choice is key when you want to eat and they allow you to choose what goes in your salad.

    Mixed green salad with Grilled salmon, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple sweet potato, pita chips with evoo and herb dressing

    Here on vacation and decided to visit the Ala Moana mall. This mall and food court are both fun and lively. Tried Roots and Greens. Got a salad with mixed greens and salmon. The whole salad was amazing. Got it with beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple sweet potato and the evoo and herb dressing. The grilled salmon was probably the best salmon I've ever had at a mall and could easily have been served at a high end restaurant. The man at the counter was nice and friendly. The food court is packed with many delicious less healthy offerings so not surprising that there wasn't a line at this place, but if you want a healthy and delicious meal at this mall and you enjoy grilled salmon, definitely try out this place.

The man working was incredibly kind and helpful, took the time to help us decide what to order, mentioned he could make items more or less spicy depending on our preference, and even offered to cut our sandwich since we were splitting it. Great music playing the whole time made the experience even better. We are already planning to come back tomorrow because it was that good. Highly recommend.

I went around and looked at the 5offerings... it was easy for me to choose it had to be quick so I ordered at aloha by the slice. single slice with a "twist" I say twist cause initially I wanted Sausage and humbly the worker (Teddy M) expressed nicely that they didn't have sausage and I asked for ham... now remember I wanted the "single" slice with one"topping" and no sausage but ham was available. If many of you follow my reviews... I don't care for Hawaiian pizza.... The last Hawaiian pizza I had was at "Spitfire Grill" in the Dukes lane Market and that got 5stars BECAUSE- it had pork grinds on the Hawaiian pizza - which by the way is really delicious and I found it an epic addition to the pizza The reason for my 5stars this time is because Teddy decided that he give me a Slice of Hawaiian pizza that has the "Ham" & Pineapple on it.... Even when I asked for the single topping slice... he was perhaps going above and beyond ((there was an impending line in back of me)) so he choose to take the slice already made warm it in the wood fire stove then take it and cut in half.... He did this for the right person... me!!!! Happiness to hit one customer with a slice that had two toppings... I will add that I realized this may not go as well for other people... but if your one to understand the food service part of it then you get where my 5stars comes from... Thanks Aloha by the slice... I'll be going back again. (I'm still not a sucker for pineapple on my pizza)
