Take Out. I placed my order through the inKind app, no issues there. The small thing was trying to contact the restaurant to get a live person regarding allergens. After a few minutes, somebody else called on behalf of the restaurant, who stated they were serving as a backup. I was able to request my accommodations and all was set when I picked up my order. Our Bowls: Mahana Bowl - Kale Crunch Salad, Buffalo Cauliflower, Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts and Citrus Ginger. Vegan Veggie Bowl - substitute with coconut rice, sesame ginger broccoli, roasted mushrooms, sweet potatoes and garlicky green beans. Good customer service. Price point and portion is balanced. Overall foodie grade - B. read more

I ordered from here through DoorDash, so I can't speak on the service or the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. The food was decent--not bad, but not amazing either. Everything tasted fresh and on the healthier side, but it was a bit lacking in flavor. Portions were also smaller than expected for the price. Overall, it's okay if you're looking for something light, but I personally prefer a bit more flavor and substance in my meals. read more

Mahana Fresh - Mahana bowl with shrimp, green beans, broccoli and noodles - Gluten-Free Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Nothing my friend and I got was good. Food was weird. Mine was way too garlicky. These bowls should be hot but come cold.

It is going to be a STRONG. NO for me!! I had my heart set on eating at Salalta - but when I arrived on a Saturday afternoon I discovered they were closed. I needed something in my belly and this spot was open so I decided to give it a try. First - service was basic. I felt like I was being a burden by walking in and patronizing. Crazy thing is - I was the only customer !! You would think they would be happy to see a customer ! Second- the food was a miss. You can tell from the picture that it was not fresh! It tasted like it was from yesterday's spread and not fresh. Maybe coming on a Saturday is not the best time to experience this spot. First impressions are lasting, and this one did not leave a good taste in my mouth. read more

Mahana Fresh - Gluten-Free Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've tried this restaurant twice and had two different experiences when it came to the food. During my first visit I was in the area on a Tuesday afternoon around 2pm and figured I would stop for a quick healthy lunch before getting on the road to head back home which is a two plus hour drive. There are so many restaurants in the area so it's very hard to choose based on radius. I chose Mahana Fresh due to the high reviews and close proximity to where my appointment was at. Their website to order online was user friendly. You can make your meal as healthy as you would like, giving you the option of several bases like sesame noodles, cauliflower rice, or spinach to name a few. I chose the Mahana bowl, and it came with spinach, shrimp, Brussel Sprouts, and broccoli. My meal was ready in about 10 minutes. When I arrived a friendly staff member greeted me and handed me my bag. The restaurant was empty as to be expected at such an odd hour. The ambiance was very casual, with a walk up counter and open seating. My meal the first time was surprisingly delicious. The shrimp and veggies were prepared well and the cilantro ranch sauce paired well with my bowl. My second visit was similar to the first with the same time of day on a Monday. Same great service and my meal was similar but this time I ordered buffalo cauliflower and brussel sprouts with shrimp over spinach. The veggies were excellent, I probably should have gotten a Veggie bowl. The shrimp were mushy with a fishy taste, I tried one and removed the rest of them from my meal, they were clearly not fresh. If you are looking for fresh well made veggies then this restaurant is worth giving a try. read more

This one was hit and miss for catering a work buffet: the proteins: tuna was GREAT, chicken was a tad dry but tasty (think catered wedding chicken); the sides of broccoli were solid and not as spicy as expected, so devoured quickly. The citrus ginger sauce was a HUGE hit and I almost brought some of it home with me! The add on sides were just weird - the tomato & cuc salad was not uniformly cut making some pieces shriveled and some as they should be still with some bite. That was the major disappointment. The pickles were straight out of a jar, as were whole / pieced almonds. Someone called off my review response from the restaurant and shared that I misunderstood that they would be any different as they are meant to be added to meals not eaten on the side, which makes perfect sense, just helping someone else not make the same mistake. Everyone I spoke with was super nice and I love the ability to give the team the variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free in addition to the carnivore crowd. read more

I stopped in for a quick lunch here, and was pleasantly surprised with all the options. The food was very tasty as well! Love dedicated GF spots especially when they offer mac & cheese! I had the CITRUS GARLIC SHRIMP BOWL (GF) (basmati rice, garlicky cilantro green beans, honey sriracha brussels, citrus garlic shrimp, cilantro vinaigrette sauce) and I also bought a chocolate chip cookie for the road! The lady working the food serving was very nice and patient as I decided, and it was nice to have the whole place to myself as most people take their orders to go. read more

Mahana Fresh - Citrus Garlic Shrimp Bowl* - Gluten-Free Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I ordered online. They have promo buy 1 get 1. I like this type of promo. So I can try more without spending too much money. The food is tasty. I got BBQ Luau Bowl and Chicken Gyro bowl. The bbq, love the chicken. Tender and smokey. The gyro, I love the mix veggies and rice with tzatziki sauce. The packaging is nice and enough portion. I think the service is good. I don't know about the restaurant ambiance yet. Need to go there. read more

The service was so nice but unfortunately the food was not great. Had a very strong wasabi and garlic taste that didn't blend well together. And the soda machine made the drinks flat and the other drinks weren't too tasty. I think it's a bit too expensive for what I got and the taste read more

We had this place for lunch, and it was not great. The biscuit was very dry, and everything felt undercooked except for the steak which was very over cooked. The only upside were the sauces. We got this delivered, so I can't talk much on the service or the ambiance of the place. read more

I decided to give Mahana Fresh a try through Too Good To Go app and I received the Teryaki Tiki Bowl. The ingredients were pretty good and top of that it was gluten free. I like the fact that you can enjoy one of their bowls and not feel bloated afterwards. I would definitely recommend this place if you were ever curious about it. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a picture for this review. read more

I had pretty high expectations based on many of the reviews I saw on Google as well as Yelp, so I decided to give it a try! I wanted something healthy for lunch. I chose a green smoothie and asked to sub Mango instead of Banana as well as add vanilla protein powder. I had a hard time finding the smoothie ingredients on the website but found it in a picture on their Facebook page. That's how I knew what I wanted because the UberEats page doesn't say what's in the smoothie and as I said, I couldn't find it on their site. I also got the Big Mahana Bowl and selected what I felt to be a good mix of proteins carbs and fats. I got sesame noodles because I was feeling that over rice today and spinach as my base, with sesame ginger broccoli, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado smash, tomato cucumber salad, Key West chicken, spicy ahi tuna, and citrus ginger dressing as well as coconut sweet potato dressing. I can't speak on ambiance because I ordered through UberEats, but service was quick and accurate on getting me everything I selected. Everything was packaged safely and nicely. My drink was secured in a plastic sealed bag and my food was stapled inside a brown paper bag. I drank my smoothie in a flash! It wasn't the best I'd ever had but it got the job done. As for the food, it was just okay. The portions are huge which is nice, but I wish the quality/tastes were better. The noodles were very over cooked and soggy, the chicken was pretty tough, and the tuna had several chewy pieces (but also several tender ones). However, the broccoli and sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked and flavorful. The spinach was standard, as was the avocado. The tomato cucumber salad was tasty. I preferred the citrus ginger dressing to the coconut sweet potato dressing, but I chose to put both on my meal. All in all, everything was just... okay. Perhaps I chose the wrong item(s). I would be open to giving a second chance, perhaps rice next time with maybe more veggies or the tofu instead of a meat option. Regardless, I am thankful to have been served and for the experience. read more

A mixed bag, or so it seems. 1. I am not gluten free, and I did not know that Mahana Fresh's specialty is being gluten free until I came to post a review. 2. I ordered this meal from Uber Eats. Your experience may vary. I ordered a teriyaki bowl and a side of macaroni and cheese. I got these BOGO through Ubereats. The mac and cheese might have been the worst mac and cheese I've ever eaten and this includes the time I tried to use almond milk when I made Kraft Mac and Cheese. First, this came to me cold. The cheese on top hadn't melted. This is NOT an Uber Eats problem. I could understand if it was cold because of a time delay, but this was clearly never heated through. As such, I needed to reheat this immediately upon receipt to eat it. The joy doesn't stop here. The noodles had no integrity whatsoever. They were so mushy that I did not need my teeth or gums to break this pasta down. I was able to sufficiently mash the macaroni against the roof of my mouth with my tongue. The sauce was flavorless and watery. Despite having a second one in my fridge, I will likely dispose of this. As someone who will tolerate nearly anything when it comes to food, the fact that I'm choosing to not eat food I have in my possession speaks volumes. If I only had gotten the macaroni, this would have been a 1 star. The Teriyaki Bowl didn't have a lot of teriyaki flavor, but it was excellent. I found that the main flavors were from the wasabi cream sauce and the coconut rice, but this was still a great bowl with lots of protein, good flavor, and balance. I cannot emphasize this enough, the macaroni and cheese is terrible. Everything else though? Really good! If I had just gotten the bowl this would definitely would have been a 4, maybe a 5 star review. read more

Mahana Fresh - Macaroni and cheese. Despite spending 15 minutes in a car before hand, there was not enough heat to melt the cheese. - Gluten-Free Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Totally fresh and flavorful food. A wonderful variety of flavors. And shockingly, every single thing in the kitchen is gluten-free. Everything I tried was delicious. My favorites that I got were the coconut rice, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and tofu. The glass noodles were fabulous, but I'm going to take them home to heat them up since they are served chilled. The chicken was very flavorful, but I prefer leaner pieces so I will probably skip that protein next time. My favorite sauces were the teriyaki and the orange sauce with black sesame seeds. The employees are very kind and helpful. I can't wait to come back. read more

Mahana Fresh is a beach themed Bowl place. It works like any other bowl, fast-casual place. You walk in, you add ingredients to your bowl, you pay, and you enjoy. You can build your own bowls or go with one of their signature bowls, so you won't have to worry about what to put in your bowl. Mahana fresh is all about fresh ingredients, and they cater to all your dietary needs: gluten free, vegetarian, keto, etc. If you're limiting yourself to whatever diet, I'm sure Mahana Fresh can accommodate. Besides bowls, they have wraps, soups, and mac& cheese. I haven't tried those. But the Mac & Cheese are bowls with mac&cheese as a base. It looked interesting. It seems like the Mac & Cheese is gluten free, so they must use some non-gluten macaroni. Their bowls are delicious. They don't look like much. The meats look overcooked, but that's an illusion. They're actually perfectly cooked and juicy. I'm guessing they sous-vide it or something to get it that perfectly cooked. They're also not afraid to add some char/color to the vegetables. They cook them with a bit of char, which I like. The sauces give the entire bowl a good flavor. I like them. The place is no-frills. The bowls are no-frills. You're not gonna get a fancy looking bowl. But they taste fresh, healthy, and delicious. Their prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend them. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go with my wife. They have a great balance of protein and a wonderful balance of vegetables. You will always leave this place filled and happy. The staff is wonderful. read more

I love this place! It's such a great healthy option. The vegetables are so tasty and flavorful. The pork and the Nashville chicken are probably my top two favorites. Can't go wrong with broccoli or their sweet potato. The service is quick and they're very friendly! The place is clean and not too big. They have awesome catering options too. read more

OMG their food is amazzzzzzzing!! I'm normally hesitant about trying new gluten free restaurants because the dishes are either to dry or doesn't have flavor. But this place...... whew! I tried the BBQ Luau Bowl and added buffalo cauliflower. The bowl was so good, that I did not have to use the ginger sauce that was paired with the dish. I'll definitely be back! Oh, the snickerdoodle was perfect as well read more

This was my first time trying the food here. I had the teriyaki bowl and the green smoothie (spinach+pineapple+banana). The veggies that came in my bowl were really good and the chicken was nice and tender. But my smoothie was really watery. I had to request him to remake it, which still wasn't the best. The guy making the smoothie came to the dining room and got ice for it from the drink machine, which probably isn't the best to make a smoothie with. Other than that, the staff was nice, and the place was clean. I probably wouldn't necessarily come back, but I'd try another location in the future. read more

Mahana fresh is tucked away in a strip mall kind of location near a UPS store. The good online reviews and the healthy make your own, all GF concept lured us to driving to it after a trip to Perimeter mall. We love the healthy GF concept and what seems to be creative bowls. I I was expecting more of a Sweetgreen or Cava feel and was quite disappointed when we walked in. The place was small and cluttered with a printer by the entrance -- seems weird for a restaurant. The back seems to be a prep area where sauces are stacked and where pick up orders are bagged. We made our own bowls vs doing the signature ones - decent servings and food is ok. Our kids had the Mac n cheese bowls. Nutrition facts are available in the store for those that are tracking. That was handy and good. Staff and service were ok. They seem to have not tried anything to give recommendations to first timers like us. Overall, ambiance can be enhanced -- it's a little tired and disorganized. Food and taste is just ok. It's good for a quick, healthy grub. However, we won't come back or seek it out next time. read more

Got 2 bowls with the noodles- Brussels were way burnt, noodles weren't soft, steak was overcooked like it was boiled not grilled and both of us who ate it now experiencing horrible diarrhea and gas which I guess I could live with except the food wasn't even good sadly read more

Mahana Fresh - Surf & Turf Bowl* - Gluten-Free Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was first introduced to Mahana Fresh via the ever so helpful Find Me Gluten Free app. I was starved and in need of something straightforward with the gluten free options front and center. So I stopped in with my daughter who also has a gluten allergy and my husband in tow who gladly eats healthily when with us (and always surprised by how normal eating gf tastes). Mahana has so many great menu options and entrees to choose from. They offer an option to build your own bowl from the freshest ingredients or choose from any of their specials already outfitted with the best selections to compliment the entree experience. The staff behind the counter greeted us with smiles while simultaneously let them know how excites to try them for the first time. The woman even let me sample something I was curious about. She and the gentleman went on to explain how everything is prepared fresh daily, from the purest ingredients sans gluten all the way down to the desserts! After having the bowl that has become each of our standout favorites I've been hooked enough to come back three times in the span of two weeks! I can't believe it has taken me this long to download the app for future savings, upcoming specials via notification alerts and to write this review! Not only is Mahana worth stopping in to for a nice, filling meal it is clean, quiet and worth the trip for us! I really wish there was a location closer to where we reside. Alas, a dedicated gluten free menu and kitchen alive is worth our drive. read more

My office had the cold noodles & kale salad along with a hot entree of teriyaki chicken with mushrooms and green beans brought for the 20 of us at work. Great taste & healthy! These dishes didn't really seem to go together all that well, but most of us didn't mind :-) I will definitely recommend using them again, and hope to visit their store myself. Service was prompt and they brought all the paper goods & serving tools too. read more

This place is SO good!! I cater in lunches for doctor offices almost daily and this is one of my go tos! The food is always so fresh and flavorful and there are so many options provided to make everyone happy. Every time I bring it in I have multiple people stopping me and asking for the restaurant name and address. I was in a situation where I had scheduled another restaurant to cater in lunch and they cancelled on me morning of. I was able to get in contact with Mahana Fresh and they were able to provide food for an office of 20+ with an hour and a half notice. I love Mahana Fresh! read more

This was our first time visiting Mahana fresh and I have to say we will definitely be back. The service was incredibly friendly and we're even willing to give us samples to taste since it was our first time there. It was very handicapped accessible, which is important. They had a 100 food rating and the place was clean And neat. The atmosphere was simple, but it was very bright and very warm and friendly. Some of the family are gluten-free and their menu was almost completely gluten-free. Normally gluten-free food is not as tasty as gluten containing food, but this place was utterly amazing. Your options of, a carb base as well as the tasty servings of protein and vegetables really added up to a nice experience. The gluten-free brownie for dessert was absolutely out of this world. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. read more

This place is amazing! The food is beyond delicious and the staff and owners are amazing! Everyone support this business!

Just go now!!! Incredibly fresh, delicious, kind employees. Best food I've had in a long time at a fast takeout.

We order here all the time on Uber eats. Overall the food is good but we were not a fan of the customer service. The guy rushed to make our bowl before understand our food allergies. He added cheese to the bowl before we could say not too and forced us pay for the mistake saying he didn't know. There was no line so he did not have to rush to make our order but he did. I've NEVER been charged for a mistake especially when it comes to food so I am highly dissatisfied. read more
