    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

    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.

    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 !

    Mediterranean appetizer plate

    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.

    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.

    MANGO GOAT CHEESE SALAD
    Caroline E.

    I've been wanting to try this place for so long and finally got to over the weekend and it was well worth the wait. I got the mango goat cheese salad with tri tip and it was incredible! The flavors were great, the portion was large and everything tasted very fresh. All meals come with a cheese bread which is yummy too. Can't wait to come back to try other things off the menu.

    Matcha powder (not meant for matcha lovers) peanut butter bomb (good flavor but like drinking melted ice cream)
    Michelle W.

    I have tried a lot of things on the menu and had mostly good luck. Mac n cheese is delicious and I love their bowls. I'm not the biggest fan of the sandwiches and I usually love the drinks but today I ordered 2 new drinks and was disappointed. The matcha power was not mixed well and was mint/banana dominant. The peanut butter bomb was like drinking warm melted ice cream. The flavor was good but not pleasant to drink. I think I'll just stick to my blue coconut spirulina drink. I always have good luck with that one.

    DREAM SALAD
    Barbara B.

    A wonderful restaurant that makes healthy AND delicious food You order at the counter. There are bowls, wraps salads, smoothies and more. Everything is made fresh in house. I ordered the garden delight salad and added chicken. My sister ordered the dream salad Both were fantastic!! No old greens. I had a basin dressing which was so flavorful. We sat outside on the patio which offers both shade or sun. I can't wait to come back k and try more options.

    MANGO SALMON BOWL
    Doreen N.

    This was my first time at Aubergine Kitchen, and I brought my family who were visiting from out of town. I was really impressed by the variety of healthy options on the menu--perfect for anyone looking to eat well without sacrificing flavor! It's similar to the healthy casual dining concept like Flower Child and Original Chop Shop. One thing I didn't love was the use of stevia in most of their drink options. Personally, I'm not a fan of the taste, so I was a bit disappointed there wasn't more variety without it. If you're sensitive to stevia, just keep that in mind when choosing your beverage. On the bright side, my Mango Salmon Bowl was absolutely delicious--fresh, vibrant, and filling without being heavy. We also tried the Brazilian cheese bread, which was scrumptious and a big hit with everyone at the table. My kiddo enjoyed the baked chicken bites with fruit and a lemonade, and it was great to see healthy options for kids as well. Overall, we had a great experience and I'd definitely come back for the food! Just hoping for a few more drink options next time.

    COCONUT CURRY BOWL
    Brandy W.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here today. All in, was around $16 for a bowl with tofu and a cheesy bread (free with bowl). No soda here, just juices and other yummy-looking drinks I didn't photograph. Salads, some pitas, bowls, acai, smoothies. All of it looked so good and options for everyone from vegan, gluten free, meat-eating... I could try something new everyday as a vegetarian and be happy. Coconut curry bowl (sub chicken for tofu for free). Tofu was good and I'm verrrrry picky about my tofu. Firm, flavorful. I could've used a smidge more sauce because I love curry and perhaps some spice. Next time I'll ask.

    MAC 'N' CHEESE TRI-TIP PLATE

    Love the concept giving 5 stars but will also give an honest review. We love the actual health food delivery options. But the mac n cheese was not good, if you're GF and it's your only option then it's not bad but if you don't need a healthy Mac n cheese then get yourself a gooey good one from somewhere else. The cheese bread was pretty good. Broccoli also good but my tritip came out mooing still. I took it home and cooked it and it was awesome. The Mediterranean plate was also delicious, every part of it. Also the nutty cookie was BOMB, I ate it before I could take a photo lol. Definitely try them out. We need more restaurants like this. Also, will add that it was reasonably priced.

    Love the earth and neutral tones
    Michele G.

    This is a spot I've been wanting to try for a really long time and finally had a chance to go during the day for a breakfast meet up. Aubergine Kitchwn has an extensive menu and all the items seemed very fresh. My friend and I split an egg dish and a smoothie and they were both delicious. The woman working at the desk was very sweet and answered all of our questions about the menu. I love the earth tones and airy ambience filled with plants. There were lots of seats and we opted for indoor because it was a little cooler out. The only thing we did not love that we tried was the Keylime pie because of the texture of it. I think because of its cleaner ingredients it didn't have the texture and flavor we were expecting so that threw us off. I would love to return and try some of their other drinks and dishes!

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Arizona. It is super clean. No seed oils, no processed foods, delicious food! My favorite entrée is the coconut curry bowl, which has a slightly spicy base, but is super nourishing and filling. Every bowl and salad comes with a cheese filled pastry. It is one of my favorite things about this place. The ambience is really nice too. The lighting isn't too harsh, there's lots of seating, and the place is kept very clean. The service is good, but it's just an order at counter type of deal so they can't screw it up that bad. They clean up the tables very fast and clear your plates for you, love that about it!

I'd been meaning to try this location after seeing a few of my fellow Yelper friends review this place. Just like they said, this place did not disappoint!

Seasoned well and cooked perfectly to order for both the over easy eggs and medium rare steak. Breakfast perfection! - Patty Melt: My boyfriend said it was delicious, and the small bite I tried was great. You can tell they season their burger patties.

Even bigger disappointment was the biscuits and gravy. The gravy tasted so odd and off putting and the biscuits were huge but very dry and fell apart. Had a bite of hubby's French toast and it was the worst I've ever had. If they weren't so busy I probably would have mentioned something to the server but really wasn't in the mood. Still love the theme of this restaurant but the food was a major letdown today. Service was not the greatest probably due to how busy it was.

I ordered the chilaquiles which were a delightful offering of crispy tortilla chips covered in earthy red chili, topped with a velvety poached egg, on a bed of hearty pinto beans that had a hint of cumin, all which was drizzled with a rich crema and crumbled queso fresco.

We arrived on a Sunday at their new location, which is super nice, VW bus and all. :) While relatively small, it is many times larger than their old location around the corner.

My wife ordered the CSA Scramble: Farm-fresh veggies from Crooked Sky Farms CSA basket scrambled with three eggs, served with fruit, sliced tomato, and 9-grain toast. Needless to say, we were both impressed. The Camper was absolutely perfect. I would not change a thing. The gravy was just special, and there was so much food, I took some home. My wife's dish was fresh and perfect for what she was looking for. Do consider donating to this worthy cause. We chose to, and you can even donate right on your bill so that it goes right on your credit card if you so choose. But even if you just pay for your meal, you are helping out, which is so great about eating at this place. Do yourself a favor and stop in to see the friendly people at The Joy Bus Diner!
