The food was delicious. The vegan sushi roll was my favorite. The buffalo cauliflower was also pretty tasty. My husbands " chicken " sandwich was very flavorful and how can you go wrong with fries. My friend got the " chicken fried steak " and it looked really good. I ordered the macaroni and " cheese " with edamame and it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. It was the only thing we didn't like. The service was good and friendly. The restaurant had live music and he was a very nice addition to our evening. His singing voice was nice and he played the guitar very well. Maybe this is a Saturday night thing, I am not sure but it was really nice

The taste of "chicken" is so on point that I kept questioning my friend if this place is really vegetarian. Oh my!! It's soo good! I took a bite of the mutton curry, but I found it to be bland. I do have to say I love my curry super spicy (like burning my tongue) though. I do have to say that because of too much grease, the bottom of the rice in the clay pot is not crispy. I wish they can improve on that. The service is smooth. Wait time for the dishes is just right. I went on a weekday, so there was no wait time for a table. They also have a tucked in, more private area for a small party if needed. I also tried the honeydew juice, which is very refreshing. If this place is closer to where I live, I would pick this over a boba tea.

We happened to visit during Lunar New Year and were genuinely surprised and delighted with a beautiful gift bag from Rémy Martin, along with a thoughtfully crafted cocktail highlighting the brand. Such a classy, unexpected touch that immediately set the tone for the evening. Our server, Megan, was an absolute standout--warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive without ever feeling intrusive. She elevated the entire experience. Every dish we ordered hit the mark. The edamame was outstanding, topped with perfectly crispy garlic that was savory and salty without even a hint of bitterness. The smashed cucumber was refreshing, and the green papaya salad was beautifully balanced, featuring a perfectly jammy salted egg that tied everything together. We were thrilled to see that the brown butter crab hand roll is now offered as a sushi roll--still just as indulgent and delicious. The vegetable lo mein was a surprise highlight, deeply flavorful and comforting, and the crab fried rice was packed with large, sweet pieces of crab that felt truly generous. My husband ordered the Sympathizer cocktail, which arrived with a stunning smoked presentation tableside--dramatic, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. From the thoughtful Lunar New Year touches to the exceptional food and service, this meal was memorable from start to finish. We've been visiting the JW for years, and thanks to Kembara, we now have yet another reason to keep coming back.

Everyone was so impressed we insisted everyone try everything.

My wife and I enjoy making salads at home or occasionally ordering a salad to go from a restaurant,…read moreand we were excited when we first learned about MAD Greens way back when. Compared to other similar restaurants, we really like the food options, the quality of ingredients, and the promotions though the prices are more than the other places we used to frequent. MAD Greens offers salads, grain bowls, wraps, Mac & Cheese bowls, and more. My wife and I both enjoy the create-your-own salad which includes your choice in greens (and/or pasta), protein, four toppings, and salad dressing. My favorite is pasta and mixed greens with grilled chicken, egg, parmesan cheese, corn, Craisins, and balsamic vinaigrette. I have also had wraps, Mac & Cheese, and prepared salads in the past. We have also ordered MAD Greens through the app/website and also through Uber Eats in the past. We were disappointed that the option to order pasta as a base with the greens was removed from online ordering though the restaurants themselves still honor this as an option. We still find that using the app is beneficial when using the rewards program as you earn $10 credits for every 100 points earned (1 point per dollar spent) plus you get a $5 credit for your first purchase after joining the program. MAD Greens regularly has different promotions and even sends out Buy One Get One Free or 10% off coupons tied to your reward account. There is also typically a Buy One Get One Free coupon sent out for your birthday (or half-birthday). They have a current challenge/promotion where if you make three purchases by late January, you get a free meal. They also had a great Black Friday gift card promotion of a free $10 eCard for every $25 gift card purchased. That means if you buy $100 of gift cards, you will get $40 in bonus gift cards. Amazing! I certainly recommend MAD Greens for those of you who enjoy a healthy meal that tastes good with loyalty perks for each purchase.

We almost always end up here for dinner, especially before heading over to the Improv right nearby. It's a great place to relax, grab a good meal, and start the night. It's almost always busy, which says a lot about how popular it is. My best tip is to add your name to the waitlist online before arriving -- it saves a lot of time. Once you're seated, there are so many menu options to choose from, plus a huge drink selection and tons of beers on tap. My go-to meal is the steak bowl, and it never disappoints. The flavor is absolutely perfect every time. I also love that it's on their under-700-calorie menu, which makes it a great option when I'm in contest prep and trying to stay on track. Even better, it's already in MyFitnessPal, so it's super easy when I'm tracking my macros. The only thing I'd mention is that because it's usually packed, the wait staff can be a little hit or miss depending on how busy they are. Overall though, it's still a solid spot for a good meal and drinks, especially if you're spending time at Desert Ridge.

While Pita Jungle at Desert Ridge doesn't officially take reservations, I called in advance to see if I could get a group of 8 in for an outdoor reservation about a week ago. They took my name and contact information and asked me if I could call them to remind them the day of. I called this morning after they opened and they had the note right by the phone and remembered my name. They saved a table for us outdoors, and my group was able to sit on time. It was great having four couples coming from different places, and Pita Jungle offered healthy and tasty food options where everyone could order what they wanted to. The outdoor patio remained busy, and though some of us sat in the sun, we were able to be comfortable with good serving staff who continued to refill beverages and come back to take orders whether it was an order of starters or our entrees a bit later. He even came back to take a group photo before we left. The food itself was great! I got a gyro pita consisting of broiled beef and lamb gyro, tzatziki, seasonal mixed greens, tomatoes, red onions, and pickles, with greek pita. I could have also ordered it as a bowl with turmeric brown rice, cabbage-kale super greens, lemon juice, evoo, sumac, parsley, sprouts. My wife ordered a small dish of tzatziki, consisting of yogurt, cucumber, fresh garlic, mint, za'atar, and pita. Both were delicious and a good portion size. Others in our group ordered salads, sandwiches, pitas, or starters. Pita Jungle is considered the "Healthy Mediterranean Restaurant in Arizona." It has been around since 1994. You can visit their website at https://pitajungle.com. They have an app, and their happy hours are amazing! Happy Hour and Tapas are different based on the location. At Desert Ridge, there are daily drink specials from 3-6 PM and daily tapas specials from 3-5 PM starting at only $2. They are open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM. Their menu includes a nutrition chart, vegan chart, allergen chart, and a nutrition calculator. I remember visiting other Pita Jungle locations with my wife when we just started dating for tapas, which we shared and bonded over way back when. It was nice to go to a Pita Jungle again today with family and a furry friend.
