Reviews for Roots Natural Kitchen in Chapel Hill, NC

Omg! I finally found a healthy salad bowl I really enjoyed. I chosed the El Jefe, substitute with spinach, added mushrooms and... left out the Tabasco. Delicious ???? plus I had a healthy hibiscus tea with an added sweetener. The staff was very friendly andrestaurant was very clean. Very serene atmosphere???? Recommended ???? Read more

I have been going here since they have been opened and each time is more disappointing than the next. The staff in the beginning... were really friendly but the last few times were not the best. Since the food is customizable I can?t really say much aboutsince I probably made a bad combo a few times but the main problem I have is that each time is so inconsistent even if I orderthe same thing over and over again. The music does not fit the ambiance but I guess that?s what the workers like listening to.The staff also look and act like they don?t want to work and it shows through. I don?t go here as often due to that reason. Read more

Thus was my first visit to Roots. Got a "make your own bowl." It was excellent and very filling. The service was great as well.... I would definitely go back. (The only thing I would change is the volume of the music. I don't know if it's normally that loud.It was a little challenging to have a conversation.) Read more

We really enjoyed our lunch at Roots. A very healthy alternative. Staff was welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed the Tamari and... my husband had the southern. Everything is Chopped well so that is ready to eat without having to cut up. You can get a salador grain based bowl by one of their designed bowls or build your own. Read more

The bowl was slightly dryer compared to other salad bowls, but there was still great flavor and it was very filling. You can... likely ask for extra dressing or use some of the other sauces near the drinks. Bbq tofu was awesome. An excellent option foranyone who seriously wants a healthy bite on the go. Read more

Great, but expensive! Everything tastes great, but I wish the proportions leaned less towards rice and more towards the protein,... especially for the price. Still, I got a decent meal and a solid snack out of the leftovers. I highly recommend the Southernbowl. Read more

For months I walked by Roots after they opened thinking it was probably just some millennial overrated type of salad place, but... was then lured in by all my friends raving reviews. I am a die hard Chipotle fan but the flavors and ingredients Roots offersknocks Chipotle right off its pedestal for me. They have signature bowls but as a picky eater, I?m not a fan of the hassle thatis substituting certain items so I choose to build my own. You choose your base of greens/rice/mix of both, add up to fivetoppings (my go-to?s are the roasted broccoli, pickled onions, roasted corn, cucumber, and roasted sweet potatoes), choose anyamount of whichever sauces you want (my personal favorites are light caesar and light lemon tahini), and your protein. I am notan adventurous menu taster and normally stick with one or two items, but at Roots I feel compelled to try everything. Besidesthe food, the staff is also so incredibly sweet and generous. Maya and Tyler always give spectacular service and it makes mesmile to see them when I walk in because I know I?ll get treated well! The music is also so good, which is kind of a strangething to comment on but my friends and I always bring up the excellent music taste of whoever?s in charge of aux. Lastly, theinterior is just so cool. Complementary colors of blue and orange greet you as you walk in, with contemporary light fixtureshanging over the seats. It?s all around my new favorite place to go and I couldn?t recommend more! Read more

After receiving a coupon I decided to check out Roots Kitchen and omg!! Once you go here you will never and I mean NEVER go back... to other bowl building spots again!! Everything is super fresh, filling, and so good! I got a mix of the El jefe and El Apollo,so tons of spinach, kale, chickpeas, Chicken, feta, cucumbers, avocado, black beans, corn, feta, and red onions! Wow! Every bitewas sooo good and again so fresh! I would recommend checking out the sauces by the drinks as the bowls, well at least mine, wasa little dry. The sauces helped bring out the flavors. They give you a lot of food, so be ready for two or three meals. I wouldcome here every day if I could as the food was just that good! Please open up one in Raleigh so I can do that..lol. A must goto for fresh and healthy food! Read more
