Roots And Greens

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!

Get a functional website please! Yelp link takes you to the mall website A menu would help as well...

I've been wanting and missing Mezeh or The Halal guys and been wanting to try Roots and Greens for a while. The first time I went it was almost closing time and they ran out of rice so ended up not getting. This time I was at Ala Moana right when they opened. So I finally got the large Steak & Falafel plate with basmati rice. $20 not bad bc they give good portion and this will last me 2 meals or I can share with my daughter. I must say the food was tasty and fresh. Falafel was perfect and steak was not dry or chewy. The green goddess sauce is bomb. It definitely hit the spot and made me happy I will be back!

This is my new favorite place to go in the Ala Moana Makai Food Court. I have been getting half romain lettuce, half rice, chickpeas, beets, tzatziki dressing, and the steak - it's sooooo delicious! I can easily stretch this out to two meals. Glad to have tried this place!

Located in Ala Moana Center makai market, it is mediterranean fast food. If i consider Cava the standard for Mediterranean fast food this is not bad. I ordered the regular size and it was huge and i had a full meal left for lunch the next day. The food is much better than it looks in the photos. Good variety of Meze options to choose from. I had the chicken and beef and both were good. The beef was not super high quality meat but it was tasty and not bad at all. The chicken was super flavorful as well. I would guess that for most people the small is more than enough. If you have gone to the mainland and liked Cava you will like Roots and Greens.

My new favorite food court place!! 10/10 and such a nice healthy option. Got a size large bowl and it is hugeeee with big portions which I love cause I can eat it for lunch and dinner.

Walked by here and was looking at their stuff. The two girls working there didn't even acknowledge us. So we went somewhere else. Watched them while we ate our food, and they didn't acknowledge anybody that looked at their food. They straight up didn't look pleased to be there.

I think my husband and I may have just found our new favorite place!The pics of the food here looked delicious so we decided to try it out for a quick lunch.My husband and I each got a "regular" size ($15.99) which comes with a base, 1 choice of protein, and 2 sides.I opted for half saffron rice, half salad as my base, and for my sides I got hard boiled egg pieces, feta cheese, and hummus. I got the steak for my protein. For the sauce, I got half of my plate topped with the Greek yogurt sauce, and the other half topped with the green goddess sauce.First off, omg, the portion is HUGE! It lasted me 3 meals.. I'm not kidding LOL. And for only $15.99??! What a great deal! Especially in today's expensive times.Everything about this plate was perfect. I was a little worried because a lot of places have those chewy or extremely fatty pieces of steak that are basically inedible.. not here. The steak was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and tender! Impressive.Everything on the plate was delicious, and both sauces really brought everything together so well. I honestly can't decide which sauce is better lol.I also tried a bite of my husband's plate (same choices, but with pesto chicken as the meat), and their chicken was surprisingly tender and not grisly at all.Delicious food, huge portions, and really friendly service.. what more could you want? I highly recommend trying this place! We will be back for sure.. most likely within the next week hahah

This is the newest addition to the Makai Food Court at Ala Moana. The food they serve is on the healthier side with mostly salad options. Basically, everything is laid out and you just build your own plate. You choose your base, salad toppings, house made dressing and hot entree. We got the large $19.99. For our base we got Romaine lettuce. We picked carrots, cucumbers, eggs and cranberries & seeds for our toppings. Our hot entrees were steak and salmon. The dressing of choice was herb greek yogurt. Everything was good and so fresh. It was huge so the hubby and I shared it. The herb greek yogurt was light and barely detectable. My hubby asked for another dressing, balsamic vinaigrette, which they charged $1 for a side of additional dressing. This dressing was perfect. I love this place and will be back.

The price went up from the last time I was here, which was just a few months ago. I got the smaller size which is $15.99 and you pick your base, 3 add ons, and 1 protein or hot item. I chose the romaine lettuce as my base, my add ons were beets, sweet potatoes, and crushed boiled eggs and chicken breast. The chicken breast was a bit dry so I had to make sure to wash it down with my water to avoid choking . I always get balsamic on all of salads to avoid those extra calories in the creamy dressings. Seems like they have a wide variety of dressings to chose from.Although the price went up, they seem to be putting more so it all pans out.The service was good and the veggies were fresh. You can take it to go or dine in the food court area.
