EXCELLENT first time experience! Staff was friendly, restaurant was clean, and food was delicious and affordable! They offer kids eat in free which was wonderful! I asked for a knife which they didn’t have and a kind younger male employee brought me smaller chicken for my daughter! We absolutely can’t wait to go back. I got the el toro! It was incredible! 10/10!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I just want to share my awesome experience at Roots Natural Kitchen. I had researched places where I could get a salad/healthy food option while traveling and Roots Natural Kitchen came up on my search. I have a nut allergy and I reached out to inquire about food allergens and food allergy precautions and recieved a friendly and timely email. Needless to say I felt safe eating at Roots Natural Kitchen. When I arrived at the store, I placed my order. I saw that the bowl would be more food than I wanted to eat and asked for the smaller sized bowl, not realizing that it was a kids size bowl. I am obviously not a child, but I wanted a smaller serving size and the servers obliged me and gave me the smaller sized bowl. I just want to state that I appreciate the kindness of the employees for not berating me for not knowing that I couldn't technically have that size and continuing to serve me. The employees went above and beyond when serving me and in the future, I will know to ask for a bowl and just simply split it with someone. Employee service was excellent and the food itself was tasty, nutritious, and allergen friendly for me. I'm so grateful for your hospitality and to have found Roots Natural Kitchen as an option when I travel.

This place was the savior of my trip to Pittsburgh. The food scene in this city is hit or miss. The people are incredibly friendly. This place is what chipotle pretends it is. Which is ironic because there is one a couple doors down. I had the el toro which was delicious. Also got some extra sauce. I would definitely come back
