Yummmmm! I was super impressed with what Guru's had to offer. A group of 10 had our plan cancelled on a Friday night and that left us wanting to find a place to eat that would accommodate us. Gurus was a hit!! Basically everyone got something different, we split a full order of fries (DELISH!) and everyone left happy! The wait wasn't too long, the seating was perfect for a conversation and the staff was SO kind to us. They helped us make it possible for us to sit together and moved the tables for us while we stood in line to order. I tried the Pan-Seared Salmon rice bowl. 10/10 would recommend. It was the perfect balance and full of flavor! the only downside is the price. It was quite expensive. 9 for a full order of fries- the rice bowl was 16. read more

One of our favorite restaurants to visit when we are in Provo is Gurus! This place has just about anything you want to eat as well as a bakery that sits parallel to the restaurant. They serve everything from breakfast dishes to lunch and dinner items. Their pizzas are great, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, wraps, sandwiches, salads, you name it. The portions are very very healthy. So lots of times my wife and I just split a meal. The ambience is a lot of fun with different dining furniture, while the place is always bustling with happy people. Have a bigger group? This is a great place to bring the family and or friends. Check them out, you won't be disappointed! I haven't been. read more

Super impressed! I am visiting my son from out of state and he raved about this place. The menu is huge and eclectic. I had my doubts, cause it's hard to do so many different things well. He got a caprese grilled cheese and chips and queso and I got a Waldorf salad. My salad was great, just as good as top tier dining. The chips and queso had a great seasoning to them. His sandwich was incredible! Beautiful artisanal bread, lots of good flavors a it's was huge. As I looked around I saw tons of other things that looked good as well. Definitely a great place and it's reasonably priced. read more

Very solid spot with great food. Been here a few times and have gotten a burrito, quesadilla, wrap and a few rice/pasta bowls. Bowls: Marco Polo and the lime pesto are our favorites Wrap: Southwest Chipotle is very fresh and tasty Quesadillas are big and the steak is awesome. The sweet potato fries are always cooked to perfection with some of the best fry sauce. My only recommendation is the sizing portions are off, it's either small or large. Which they had something in between, but other than that i love this place! read more

Odd, odd place. This is a fast casual walk up and order restaurant. Not much different than a Chic fil A with a broader menu. Food was so so. I had a burrito. It was dryyyyy I had a family of 5, and this is where they had me rolling my eyes. They said "your total is going to be over $100 with tax. Our policy is to add an 18% tip. Only in Provo where the local sheep must just go with the flow. read more

We got breakfast on Sunday and it was good. Quick service and fair prices with the amount we got!

More is more, must have thought the proprietors of this cafe. More cheese, more sauce, more everything... just absolutely massive portions. I had the huevos rancheros, which were very good but I could only finish like half of them. Massive space, was empty for breakfast but hopefully it's busier for lunches and dinners read more

Food is ok. The cookie is insane have it warmed. The girls that work there are so sweet and kind.

Not sure how this place has over a 4-star rating.. Visited yesterday for the first time, and it smelled like a rancid dumpster, the floors were dirty, and I almost slipped on a grease spot on my way to the bathroom. Spent $20 on a steak quesadilla, and the very first bite contained grizzle. Several bites after also contained grizzle. Super disappointed and not sure how this place stays in business with so many other superior restaurants in the area. read more

One of those places you have to try. Food is unique and yummy, I quite like it! Portions will fill you up nicely and give you enough to take some for later. I'll be back to try some other items. Great for having a work group meal. read more

We ordered sweet potato fries and grilled cheese. The fries came cold and after 30 minutes of waiting we finally got the grilled cheese, but it came on some kind of weird kaiser bun, like they ran out of bread and decided to just not mention it. It was not good! I've had good food here before, but after this experience I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Food was good, great presentation! Service was quick for being busy. It was hard to hear the employees as the ambiance was loud.

Ehh. Guru's is just okay. I had high hopes for this place when I walked in and saw the cool interior and menu, but I was very disappointed when I got my food. I have been here twice now -- both times being less than great. I ordered the vegetarian bowl. It had a plethora of veggies, brown rice, and a pesto lime sauce. I liked the variety of veggies, but the sauce tasted like pure lime juice, and it totally overpowered the dish. My friend ordered a turkey sandwich, and her meat was dry. Nobody at our table was very impressed by their food, but also nobody was utterly disgusted and couldn't eat it. The inside of the restaurant has a cool, weird, hippie vibe. It sort of reminds me of a mixture of Africa, an industrial building, and hippies. I liked it! It was clean, and they took necessary precautions regarding COVID. Our food was served fairly quickly, but there was a significant gap between when the first dish and the last dish were delivered. I didn't hate my food, but I didn't love it. I probably won't come back since there are other places around that are much better! read more

Been twice, had a great experience both times. Love that I can take my family and friends with dietary restrictions and they have multiple options. It's a huge menu, but I've yet to hear a complaint about the food. I usually get a sandwich or curry. read more

The sweet potato fries were awesome, I recommend these HIGHLY! My wife liked the fish tacos, I had the steak burrito and it was ok. Because the fries were so good, and their menu varies so greatly, we'll probably come back. The service was great, all of the staff were super cheerful and helpful. When we go back, if the review deserves an edit, I'll update this. But if you decide to come here, get the sweet potato fries. The best ones I've ever had. read more

Went here for the Shrimp Tacos which are just as good as it's been, but got a little sad about the fact that the kitchen "threw out" our ticket. It was around 1-2pm and the restaurant was mostly empty except four tables. We ordered the Shrimp Tacos and Mahi Mahi plate, as recommended by the server. Everything seemed great until the shrimp tacos arrived and we had to wait for the next dish to be served. It seemed strange that a whole ten minutes passed and the other order hadn't been brought yet. We patiently waited until the table who arrived after us were served all of their orders then we asked where was ours? Server checked and apologized that the kitchen had thrown our ticket away without making the 2nd dish. They made it up by serving a free plate of sweet potato fries, which were good. So there. I appreciate the staff's honesty but let's just charge it to experience to be careful and double check if all orders have been fulfilled before chucking them out. read more

We visited Guru's today (Friday, March 15, 2024). We walked in and there was only one table with people sitting at it. Very empty. We walked right up to the register and placed our order (two sandwiches, two wraps, and one pizza) at 4:07 pm. As we sat there waiting for our food, we watched several other people walk in, place their orders, and then get their food delivered to their tables...while we sat and waited and waited. Finally after FORTY minutes, I went up to the front and asked if they were almost finished with our order as we had been waiting 40 minutes. The young man turned around and checked all the tickets that were hanging up, couldn't find ours, turned to a fellow employee, said something to him, then he looked through the tickets and couldn't find it either. After a few minutes, they finally found our food...which was sitting off to the side on a side shelf/table behind the register area. They brought it to our table (no apologies) and ALL of it was cold - the pizza and the sandwich that were supposed to be served hot were stone cold. You could tell that the pizza had been sitting for quite some time (you know the look pizza cheese gets after it's been sitting for a long time - wrinkled and dry-ish). Our food had been sitting back there for at least 30 minutes. We didn't go back up and tell them about the old and cold food because we were now on a time-crunch since we had been waiting so long. We didn't have the time for them to re-make the food. The two wraps had VERY little flavor and were a disappointment. The pizza was decent, but definitely would have been considerably better had it been hot, like it should have been. The pickle that came with my daughter's sandwich literally looked like someone had been chewing on it. I'm mad I didn't take a photo of it! We all felt the food is over-priced for what you get (especially when it takes 40 minutes and a trip to the counter to get the food). Our bill was $81.88 and what a waste! The least they could have done was offer us...something! Some sweet potato fries, a couple of desserts, a gift card for future use...but AT LEAST an apology. We've eaten there several times in the past (it's been a while) and we really liked it. But something BIG has changed. We will not be returning to Guru's. read more

TLDR: Terrible food, 0 stars I have been to gurus a few times pre covid and it's always been fine but wow I guess things have changed. We ordered chips and queso to start then for entrees we ordered the Reuben and the fish tacos. The chips and queso came out and I'm not sure what was wrong but the queso was simply a mealy sludge that lacked anything resembling flavor. The Reuben (ya know a hot sandwich) was cold... not room temp but actually cold like the meat was straight out of the fridge with no attempt made to warm it. Literally an Arby's Reuben would have blown it out of the water and no hate on anyone who likes those but Arby's is nasty. Also the homemade potato chips tasted like they forgot to wash the dirt off the potato before slicing them. Finally the fish tacos. The fish wasn't even slightly seasoned and the "sauce" they put on top (if you can call green water sauce) tasted like they filled the sauce bottle with water to let it soak before cleaning and then forgot and accidentally used it on the food... I won't lie, usually if food isn't my favorite I'll just eat it cause hey we already paid for it but this was actually gross. We left nearly untouched plates of food on the table and went to a different restaurant down the street to start over. We could have complained and asked them to remake the food but honestly it was so bad I wouldn't trust them to make food when trying their best. I can't say we will be back. read more

The menu is good and unique - not the same stuff you get at any restaurant. I placed my order and they had one of those "please answer the questions on the screen," that included suggested tips. I refuse to leave a tip at the cashier because I haven't even been served yet - how can I determine what tip to leave? I stepped away but came back because that's where the straws were. l approached the counter from the side and even at that angle I could clearly see a popup alert in the middle of the screen that said "NO TIP ALERT. CUSTOMER LEFT NO TIP." What does Guru's staff do with that information? Why is that an alert? it seems judgemental of customers and premature at that given that a customer could leave a cash tip after having a full experience. The implications ruined the stay for me despite the good food and service. read more

This is such a great spot! We came in a group of 8 for brunch around 11 am. We all got our food within 20 minutes. I got the cowboy Benny and it was great! Super filling and flavorful. My husband got the huevos rancheros and said they were super good. It was served with spicy sausage. There is tons of seating in the restaurant. They have self serve tea and coffee. I would definitely like to come back another time and try their pizzas and dinner menu. The place definitely got busy as we were leaving. read more

Our first time parking this far East to explore Downtown Provo & glad we did! The staff is SO nice & the atmosphere is great here!! There's a more coffee shop side & a more restaurant side & we loved both! It worked out great to order our meals & then head over & pick a couple desserts out to enjoy while we waited! We loved it! Food was all good & my Husband enjoyed his Italian soda! Come give them a try! read more

One of my friends work here so I dropped by during my lunch hour. The staff here are really friendly, the space is open and well-lit, and the food is pretty good. Needed something with high calories so I ordered the Full Marco Polo pasta. Thought I could finish it, but it was just way too huge. A very good savory pasta dish with lots of vegetables so you can get those much needed micronutrients. Chicken portion is very generous. Honestly there are so many good items here, it'll keep you coming back. Extremely curious about the bakery section. Everyone is chill, and Guru's attracts a diverse crowd. Only good vibes here. read more

Mediocre. This is the second time I've been, and I won't go back. A friend suggested having our group go there, so I went along even though I wasn't impressed the first time I went. On my way I passed a few other restaurants that are much better, and I wished I were going there instead. I had the Asian chicken salad. Meh. Others had a variety of things, and no one made any comment about the food being good, except for the sweet potato fries. Those are delicious with the chipotle fry sauce. Skip this place and try something more interesting. read more

Guru's is a pretty popular lunch spot in downtown Provo. The space is large and the lunch line is long. Sadly, the food is only mediocre and way overpriced. If I pay $14 for a burrito, it better have flavor, but my veggie burrito was meh and there were no spices or sauces available to zing it up. Other items were equally bland. Too bad, as the venue has a lot of potential. read more

Amazing food at decent prices. Never disappoints and it's crowded for a reason. A must for the área

The sweet potato fries are amazing . I really enjoyed the food and ambience. Super cute place

What a good day to go to Guru's! Git there just after the lunch rush and got the Cali club wrap and man it was good today! Didn't take long to get it, was perfect temperature with the grilled chicken mixed with the bacon, avocado, lettuce, amd dressing. Guru's is always a good place to, but they knocked it out of the park today! read more

I was seeing a show nearby, and the first restaurant that I dropped into seemed like they were swamped. So we bolted down the street looking for a very quick meal so we could make it on time. The line was short, and moved along quickly, and we ordered breathlessly. We had a last minute change of order plans and went with Good Karma Noodles and a turkey club. We were seated. Caught our breath, and crossed our fingers that food would be out soon. I'll cut to the chase: we made it to the show on time. The food was speedy, and they were two good choices. The bread on the sandwich was a little long in the tooth by the end of the day, but everything else was really nice--good amounts of shredded (yes!) turkey and toppings. I forgot to ask to hold the onions, but they were easily removed. My bad. The noodles are curry-licious and I only got a sample, but would try them as my own entree sometime. The place was hopping on a weekend, with parties coming in and out. A big group arrived just after us and it may have slowed down the food. But it's a fun scene to watch people meet up, pop in, and hang out. read more

Food is always amazing clean and great environment good prices will come back. Service is great

I've eaten here several times. It was obviously good enough for me to want to go back, but for some reason this time the food was awful. We waited in line forever, the food took forever to get to us, and the food was not good when we got it. There were also no open tables. We ordered pizzas and they were TERRIBLE. Extremely expensive for the quality of food received. The margherita pizza is not authentic at all and they put spinach instead of basil leaves on it. It tasted like a 7/11 pizza. And to top it all off, there was a cockroach on our table. We left the restaurant wanting to barf. We will not be returning. read more

This is a "go to" spot for me. Treated a friend to birthday lunch and once again, Guru's did not disappoint. She had the fish tacos and I had the steak wrap minus the wrap. Absolutely delicious. Fish tacos are filled with grilled fish and fresh lettuce. Steak wrap (since I removed the wrap is was technically a steak salad) was well balanced with tomatoes and lettuce and a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. When we arrived the restaurant was hopping with customers but still our service was courteous and efficient. Would have appreciated a drink refill midway through the meal but no one checked back with us. Decided to share a slice of chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Tasty but a bit on the dry side. Overall, the food here is fresh and delicious. There's something for everyone although the vibe is better suited to adults. Will be back. read more

I usually come to Guru's for one thing and one thing only. Sweet potato fries. These fries are paired with a southwestern fry sauce that gives the right amount of kick to compliment the sweeter tasting fries. I have have had limited experience with other menu items, usually pairing these fries with a sandwich or wrap. I have not been wowed by the other menu items thus far, but find them good enough to eat for a small cafe style lunch. read more

I don't know if I would go as far as to say this place is worthy of full on "Guru" status, but it is a solid food spot! I would describe this place as a trendy twist on typically American cafe food. It's located on center street in Provo; it's in a medium sized restaurant right on the street. There are a couple of outdoor tables and the inside is brightly decorated with unique, hipster-y art and decor. The style is fast casual - you order at a counter and they bring your food out to you at your table. Overall it seems open, fresh, and clean. The menu has a wide variety of foods and everything I've tried is good! I would say the majority of the dishes are classic American food - salads, sandwiches, wraps, etc., but they also have a few Mexican options and pasta too! I would 100% recommend the sweet potato fries or quesadilla's - both are delicious. I can tell you they are definetly worthy of being called sweet potato fry guru's. My main complaint is I feel like Guru's is a little pricey ($11 for a burrito/salad) and the portions are kind of small for that price. I would have expected a giant burrito like you'd get at cafe rio for over ten bucks but it was just normal size. Not cheap or generous but the restaurant would work great as a lunch or date spot. Also, with such a wide variety of options you can find something for everyone! read more

I've been to Guru's probably over twenty times and I've only ever ordered two things because when you are so in love, you can't be checkin' out other food like you ready to move on to the next thing. I have legitimately found myself dreaming of the cilantro lime quesadilla(I get steak instead of chicken)! Like I'm writing this review a few days late and I think I'm already ready to go back and order it again. I can't even tell you all the delicious cheeses that are on that baby and don't get me started on the green cilantro sauce that is made out of straight magic. I usually substitute the chips and salsa that come with it for sweet potato fries and their RIDICULOUSLY tasty fry sauce that I think must have BBQ sauce and maybe like the tears of Aphrodite... I don't know how else to say it. I'm in love. It could possibly compete for my death row meal, if you know what I'm sayin. P.S. Not that you need more of a reason to go, but the place is so beautiful, artsy, lots of natural light, live music and dessert next door or on the Guru's menu. read more

We used to love Gurus! We take all our friends here when they're in town but lately they've disappointed us. The servers get confused on orders and aren't really nice at all. They have too much food for it to all be good, they should focus on less menu items and perfect those. But their sweet potato fries never disappoint! read more

This was an excellent place. For the type of food and the cost it was a pretty good value and the line seemed to move quickly. Parking can be a challenge depending upon when you go. However they have a great selection of vegan friendly, gluten free options, along with the regular carb and meat fair. Great sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas and the like. So far everything I have ordered was acceptable. I got a veggie wrap that was delicious and a mulligatawny soup. The soup was on the bland side but still decent. read more
