Oh. My. Goodness. I'm madly in love with Roots Natural Kitchen!! I ordered a build your own bowl with the herb chicken, pickled red onion, crunchy chick peas, sliced brussels, brown rice, & the pesto vinaigrette... let's just say i've ordered the exact same thing three times since then, so clearly i'm obsessed! I genuinely believe that Roots Natural Kitchen has some of the best food i've ever had in my life. This combination i've created is phenomenal and I 1000% recommend it!! I have yet to make it in person yet and have only ordered on Uber Eats, but each time my food arrived in under 30 minutes! They offer such a wonderful collection of food and i'm so thankful to have found Roots! I can't wait to stop in someday and see what the store is like! You guys are incredible... keep on going until all of the U.S. has Roots Natural Kitchen!!!!!!!

I ordered El jefe bowl with sweet potatoes instead of pita chips, and salad greens instead of brown rice. Everything was fresh and portion was perfect for dinner. Everything tasted clean and well spiced. I went to location on Forbes ave and service was great. I forgot my drink and they refunded me without issues. I would order again. Yum yum yum!

Favorite bowl place in Pittsburgh (and ever)!! Better than sweetgreen or cava imo. It's my go-to when I need a quick & healthy but still filling & flavorful meal. The bowls here are customizable (they have a huge set menu too and all of them are amazing) and each bowl easily lasts two meals. My fav things to get in my custom bowls are the chicken or tofu, pita chips, sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli, & the cheddar. Their purple roots rice is also super yummy too! You can order in person or through their app for delivery and pickup, and I've never had issues with either. They're always super on time with pickup orders. There's a good amount of seating downstairs as well if you want to eat inside. Love this place so much -- I wish it would expand to more cities!!

Roots has affordable and very customizable options so anyone is able to get a bowl to their liking. The dressings that they have are amazing and will even let you try a new dressing on the side. I had come here with a friend who was visiting and the staff explained how to order patiently and allowed my friend to fell more comfortable ordering. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside can be noisy sometimes with some of the cooking in the background but overall this place is always one I look forward to when I come to Pittsbugh.
