The place is so good!!…read more A friend recommended me to come here and I said why not give it a try since I was in the area today. Staff were amazing. So kind and so funny and very helpful on my selection. It's a clean restaurant and I mean very clean. They have about 10 tables to sit down and enjoy your food. Do you see how big this bowl aka BOX is?!? I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and it might be one of the best chickens I have had. It was tender and full of proper flavor. The toppings were fresh as well. They top it with garlic and I like it. Their garlic has a kick to it so you know it's freshly made. Their menu has a good selection of different things to order. So there's something that everyone will definitely love. They also make smoothies. They specifically in a Afrikano style which is more spicy. I wasn't feeling spicy today, but I'll definitely come next time to try it. I'm glad I finally gave this place and try and will most definitely be back to try more food.

They supply a decent variety, so you can satisfy the most finicky of palates. With the help of the lovely Anna, I constructed my own personalized Steak bowl and Mrs. E. chose the Chicken. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. I wish I knew they had such large portions, we could've split a bowl. Guess I have leftovers for tomorrow. I wonder how all these ingredients will "marry" together overnight? The cost seemed high until I saw the quantity. It's actually a very good product to cost ratio. Fair warning, most of the ingredients fall on the healthy side. If you're a junk food junkie, this isn't the place for you. I love the easy ones. If we're in this area again, we'll be back! 01/26

It took a long time for our server to greet us after we were seated, and throughout the meal, they kept forgetting my requests, forcing me to repeat myself multiple times. I always try to be patient and understanding, but after so many attempts, it started to feel like my concerns weren't being heard. A little more attentiveness would have made a big difference. The ambiance was beautiful.

If you ordered the sandwich on saj, I think it'll come with the garlic hummus, chili aioli, and some pickled peppers. The service was good, and the cashier was courteous. It's not very big inside, maybe 8 tables, but it seemed like most customers ordered take out, so there were a lot of available seating when I visited.

It was a very fun and inviting…read moreand clean atmosphere when you walk in and we were immediately greeted by such a friendly staff member. They have a large menu that I'm really eager to try and they have vegetarian options, which I'm very excited about. We only had a smoothie this time but it was incredible. 10/10. I cannot wait to try more of their smoothie options as well as the food that they offer. I highly recommend stopping in!

So I kicked off 2026 by trying a new local spot. The space So-Cal is in used to be a bubble tea…read moreplace prior. I am kinda sad it closed, but it's good to know it was replaced by a different eatery. This menu is not overly complicated, but there is a good amount of options to choose from between the burgers, smoothies and wraps. I went with the BBQ bacon cheeseburger (their meat is halal) and the So-Cal smoothie with a side of Cajun fries. All that was roughly $28 (the burger by itself was over $15). That's just the state of the restaurant industry now, can't really blame the individual restaurant owners entirely. I'm happy at the very least the food tastes great and the people who work there are courteous and make you feel welcome.

The Real Cuisine is so much more than a juice bar! Yes, the hours are shorter than a typical dinner…read moreplace, but you can get some amazing entrée meals and scrumptious appetizers as well. Only the best of the best ingredients are used here. Organic signature salads, Micro-greens, Grass-fed beef burgers, Wild Salmon (no farm raised here). Lions Mane Mushroom Burgers and more. The owner here knows what he's doing and I implore you to give him your business, especially if you care about your health! We were so excited to be able to have sweet potato fries since they don't use genetically modified seed oils in their fryer like most restaurants do. While we were at it, we got some Buffalo Cauliflower and Crispy Brussel Sprouts. This place is amazing! Oh and they have a wheat free chocolate chip cookie with only three ingredients. Everything is amazing here! We need more places like this in Michigan! Too many restaurants are getting away with feeding their patrons poor (damaging) ingredients, not designed for human consumption-- produce sprayed with pesticides like glyphosate, not good and they are everywhere. Not Here! I'm so grateful this place exists. Even though it's not on the popular main street of Northville, it's probably 10 times better than any restaurant there!!! Thank you for being here.

Jane was our waitress (Hi Jane!). She was on the ball. Did a wonderful job of keeping our glasses full and just showing us kindness and patience as we'd never been there before.

I'd recommend both the place and the waitress for lunch or brunch. Thanks for the great service and hospitality.

A coworker told me about Vara Juice, and once I tried it--I was hooked. Even though it's called a…read morejuice, it's definitely more of a thick, creamy smoothie. My favorite is the original vara juice it's a whole layered experience. It starts with coconut at the bottom, then strawberry, followed by--you're going to think it sounds weird--avocado. But trust me, it's so good. From there it blends into mango, and all together, it's like a rainbow of flavor. Honestly, one of the best smoothies I've ever had. I just had to share it with my mom and daughter, who are both foodies like me--and they loved it too. My mom lives closer to the Garden City location, but I usually go to the one in Dearborn. This location is better if you want to sit and lounge. Definitely better location with a parking lot that isn't small or on a one-way street like Dearborn. All I can say is--if we ever get a Vara Juice located Downriver, I'd be there daily because I can't get enough!
