    COCONUT CURRY BOWL BAKED CHICKEN BITES
    Kaitlyn S.

    Looking at the photo, the bowl itself appears to be: * A moderate serving of yellow rice * A small handful of kale * Maybe 2-3 oz of chicken at most * Very little broccoli/other vegetables For someone who's active, lifts weights, and is aiming for higher protein intake, that chicken portion is especially underwhelming. Id probably expect closer to 5-6 oz of chicken in a protein-based entrée, not what looks like a few chopped pieces scattered on top. The chicken tenders help salvage the meal from a protein standpoint, but that's not really the point. You shouldn't have to order an extra side just to make the entrée feel complete. The price breakdown is what really stings: * Coconut Curry Bowl * Chicken tenders * Protein smoothie * Tax/tip Total: $43 When I look at the actual food in the picture, it doesn't visually read as a $43 meal. It looks more like a $20-25 meal in terms of portion size. What's interesting is that the dine-in portions seem much larger. I love Aubergine Kitchen and eat there often because it's one of the few places that fits my gluten-free and dairy-free diet. However, I was disappointed with my takeout order tonight.

    Cute, trendy and friendly service all around. Reason for 3 stars is the price point. I've brought friends here for lunch and for 3 people it will easily run you over $100 with drinks and no dessert. While I appreciate the creative menu items and the fact that they don't have seed oils, I do think that the prices are steep for the area. $13-15 for shakes and smoothies are Erewhon prices in Mesa, AZ

    Rio Salad w/ Cheese Bread
    Ren H.

    Aubergine Kitchen has a wide variety of healthy delicious salads, bowls and plates in a modern bright atmosphere. The Salmon Salad Bowl was delicious. I did not expect the salmon to have a curry marinate on it. The Rio Salad was like a Southwest version of a Cobb Salad and was also delicious. The Coconut Chicken Curry was just good; however, not great. We enjoyed the Cheese Bread. The service is limited to ordering with the cashier and the staff delivering the food to your table. This is like a restaurant version of Angie's, Salad and Go and Chipotle.

    Just finished a tour at Chateaux de vie and wanted a healthy bowl for lunch. This location is actually in Mesa at a strip mall. They were doing some road construction on Val Vista so pay attention to the turn to the strip mall. We were able to find parking but there's not a ton available. It's an order at the counter type of place. There were lots of gluten free and vegan options. I ordered the vitality bowl. $16.95 -sweet potatoes, cauliflower rice, roasted chicken, seasoned kale and cabbage. It came out really quick. The presentation was nice and colorful. The food was fresh and delicious. We even got a piece of cheese bread. Definitely will be back !

    Trendy chain that touts its quality ingredients and nutrient-rich meals. Despite its name, eggplant doesn't seem to be an especially focus in its dishes, sounds good though! They offer a variety of plates, salads, bowls, melts, breakfast, desserts and smoothies. Besides a focus on whole foods and some things that are whole wheat and wild, not sure where they source their ingredients. You can filter their dishes by dairy, gluten, vegetarian and vegan. Regardless, their food was very good. I customized a bowl with tofu, greens and sauce and it was tasty. The melts are also tasty. I enjoyed the cheese bread ball that came with the bowl and wished it came in a pair. Their superfood smoothies are yummy but also pricey. Most of their dishes are between $12 and 18 and portions are adequate. They also sell swag with their branding. The restaurant atmosphere feels a bit a posh/swanky, which isn't my usual go to. But as a result it did feel clean and modern. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have an easy to navigate website to order for a specific time. (Most of the time when we pick up an order, it's not ready by the specific time but it's done within 5-10 minutes.) You can also download their app to earn rewards.

    CHICKEN CAPRESE MELT
    Amanda D.

    Came in to grab an early lunch with my bestie. The vibe is amazing. It is so beautiful inside. There's some tasteful music playing. Menus available on the wall, so you can go take a seat & look everything over without feeling rushed at the counter. They have tons of selections. From smoothies, to açaí bowls, breakfast platters, lunch bowls, sandwiches, salads, you name it! Healthy choices & also sweets if you're craving a treat! The drinks are a bit expensive in my opinion. I ordered a butterfly tea, which costed $7.49. It was small, and no refills are allowed on the drinks, which is a bummer for the price.... I got the Chicken Caprese Melt. I've had it once before & the first time it was much better. This time it was a bit dry and bland. I was disappointed. My best friend got a tofu bowl & hot chai. She loved her meal. Would dine here again, but would not order a drink & may stick with a bowl or salad instead of a sandwich.

    Mediterranean appetizer plate
    Jamie B.

    Cool vibes, I really enjoyed the aesthetic. I'd say staff was a little pretentious. I asked for additional pita bread and they said they couldn't give it to me because they'd have to charge me and the cash register was already closed. They use this jalepeno creamy dressing on a lot of their dishes. I'll probably try them again for breakfast just to see. There's a lot of seating available, but there were 5 or 6 dirty tables and then staff just standing around. Steak was great, but other food was a bit under seasoned in my opinion.

    I tried Aubergine Kitchen after a friend recommended it. She loves trying healthy spots, but the last one she took me to was not great so I was a little apprehensive BUT WOW this place was actually really good. We went on a Monday around 5:30 and there was no wait. They have indoor and outdoor seating and honestly, not a bad seat in the place. We were able to catch the sunset and there were even some dogs on the patio. People were constantly bussing tables and bathrooms were clean. The menu has lots of options and you can make anything a bowl, plate, or salad. I got the Mediterranean plate and it was sooo delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and the falafel was perfect. I loved how colorful my plate came out. My friend got the hot steak, I tried it, and even ordered one to-go for my boyfriend and he said it was really fckn good. I didn't like the butterfly tea. The stevia taste was strong toward the end, so I didn't finish it (after mixing and drinking some). My friend liked it though and even got one to go. She also got the Whey to Paradise shake, which was good. Desserts were just okay. The sundae (banana-based) was pretty lackluster for me personally and the cookie wasn't a hit either. Honestly, the just desserts just didn't fit my tastebuds but I'll probably try something else next time like an açaí bowl or the pistachio ice cream. Clean, bright space and friendly staff. Not super helpful up front but nonetheless friendly. Overall, I'd definitely come back and try more. Or maybe if just get the Mediterranean plate with the yellow rice. I got it with quinoa because this lady behind me who couldn't decide what she wanted said it was the yummy sticky kind. And she wasn't lying! So good

    6/2026- breakfast menu and smoothies
    Tzarina W.

    Who's ready for lunch? Starts at 11am. When you walk inside it's so clean and spacious and calm vibe. Definitely a place to enjoy a meal or smoothies. This was my first time and I was excited. I originally wanted to get the salmon bowl but it wasn't readily available so I went for the chicken harvest bowl with a basil vinaigrette sauce instead of the jalapeno sauce. The chicken harvest bowl has broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato both yellow and white, almond wild rice, kale, micro greens and a pico de gallo mix. I also ordered the banana monkey smoothie which has unsweetened almond milk, almond butter, banana, flax seeds, dates and cinnamon. Both were healthy and delicious. I cannot wait to come back to try the salmon bowl and their other smoothies!! Staff were friendly and helpful with my choosing alternatives.

    Came here with a large group we were able to find a table large enough for us all. they also have a good size outdoor seating space as well. i got the smoothie, that was delicious and very healthy like most items they have. i did also get the curry and that left me wanting more. it was bland and there was barely any curry compared to the size of the plate. the chicken bites were good and the sauce was very unique as well.

    Francis C.

    Fantastic option for quick serve healthy food on the go. Big fan of the cheese bread as well. We did not have to wait long for the food to come out. The staff were happy to provide recommendations and talk about what I might like. The restaurant itself had a nice cute patio area.

    Jeffrey G.

    Meet family here for a late lunch, it was a little crowded but we were able to find a seat right away. They had plenty on the menu to choose from with and without meat options. I had a salad with steak and it was very good and the steak was cooked correctly and very tender. My milkshake was good, but kind of bland, otherwise great food and visit, we all enjoyed our meals.

    Falafel salad
    Miley D.

    My co-workers/friends were planning to go somewhere else for lunch but noticed this cute place with outdoor seating and switched gears. It was hopping for a lunch spot on a random Monday. You place your order and then you find your seat. Some of the tables were still dirty but we assumed it was bc of the lunch rush. We ended up clearing a table for ourselves and the workers came rushing by to help. I order the wild salmon salad. My friend ordered the falafel salad. And my other friend ordered the chicken caprese melt. My wild salmon salad: very very good. The cashews were a good touch. The salmon was very well cooked and chewy. It looks like it was more grounded into a patty instead of a nice filet. Good for a lunch salad. If I had it for dinner I think i would have wanted it to be more like a filet My friend loved her falafel salad. She kept mentioning how neat that most anything on the menu could be converted to veggie. And there were many many options for vegans. My other friend inhaled his chicken caprese melt. He loved it. All in all - we would come here again!

The chips were soggy when I got my food. I liked the red onions, it added a little kick to the food on top of what the food offers to begin with. 6/10 Eggs over medium- not too runny how I like it. Velvety, the eggs weren't burnt crispy and was delightful. Meat was umami, savory and tender. Different than what I expected, had a little kick of spice. Beans were dry and bland.

I went with the corned beef hash + pancakes breakfast, and it delivered that old-school diner energy. The hash was hearty and filling, eggs cooked just right, and the pancakes?
