Turkey Avocado Sandwich
Trinity C.

I have been here three times now and the sandwiches are consistently delicious. My favorite has got to be the turkey avocado. It is packed with fresh veggies and is incredible. It is one of the most fresh and delicious sandwiches ever! The service is amazing! The sandwiches come out within minutes of ordering. Perfect to grab and take to the beach or on a picnic!

I'm so excited I finally got to try this delicious chicken salad sandwich! It was so delicious, incredibly fresh and colorful! I feel like the sprouts make this sandwich! Ah! My favorite!!! All of the veggies complement the chicken salad, too! The sandwich artists were nice and quick! I ordered and my sandwich was handed over immediately. This is more of a grab and go place! There limited seating out front, but I know other businesses share them, so I suggest taking your sandwich elsewhere -- go have a picnic or go to the beach! So good!

We were hungry after hanging at Kailua beach. Found this via Yelp. Got the turkey avo sandwich and the green tea lemonade. My cousin and I split the sandwich and she said it was the best sandwich she's had in a long time! The wheat bread was soft, the turkey fresh, the generous amount of veggies was like heaven on earth for me- carrots, purple cabbage, sprouts, avocado. Yummy! Like a salad sandwich! Service excellent. Green tea lemonade was also good. This is a walk up and there are tables to sit and enjoy. Also there are a lot of cute shops in the same strip mall to walk through after eating. Highly recommend!

I looked on Yelp and saw these wonderful looking sandwiches so I had to try Mala Market out. I make a mean tuna avocado sandwich and the Mala Market sandwich compares favorably. I looked at the menu and saw that the tuna avocado was priced at $15.99. When ordering the person taking my order asked if I wanted salad or chips. When I declined he told me that it was included in my order so I opted for salad. He rang me up and the total was about $18.50. How does it go up from $15.99 to over $18? I didn't argue and I just sat at a table and ate half for breakfast. As I ate I inspected the sandwich and saw that there was a micro-thin slice of white cheese. So, you have this monster sandwich that is difficult to bite because it is so thick and they put a skinny slice of cheese in it. You really can't taste the cheese, no sense in adding it. I also asked if they had onions and was told that it was in the spread. I love onions in my sandwiches and couldn't taste it in the sandwich. And lastly, I like their choice of bread, I don't think the customer has an option on the type of bread. The bread was some kind of wheat slices that didn't fall apart when eating it because it was sturdy enough. Don't know if I will return. I thought my meal was kind of costly, but then again I haven't dined out very often in the past years so I am not aware of how much inflation has affected restaurants.

Swapped sandwiches so we each had a 1/2 - Turkey Avo & Italian

Opened on time, we were early in anticipation and hungry from hiking. Easy to read menu, and friendly staff to answer questions. $14.99 gets you a pretty decent sandwich with chips. Outdoor seating is available (no inside area). You order at a window. Sandwich was served pretty quickly. Wife loved hers, I liked mine. We shared so got q taste of two different ones. The Italian & Turkey Avo. The Italian was much more flavorful, the Turkey Avo probably much healthier, but lacked the flavor. Bread in Hawaii tends to dry out quickly and this bread was no different. Chips were unique & tasty. Definitely filled us up. Overall, not a bad lunch

Absolutely love their sandwiches! So fresh and filling. I know it's a little pricey but isn't everything these days...and I'd rather pay for quality, fresh, delicious ingredients! Service was friendly and efficient! Will be back!

My friends and I ordered Māla Market to go for a beach trip today and it was absolutely amazing. We tried a variety of sandwiches and each were an absolute hit. Healthy ingredients and so fresh!! Will definitely be back during my next visit to Oahu

Big ass sandwiches broke da mouth Fair price As I'm here I'm realizing that the expensive part of Oahu is Honolulu Out here 12$ for a sandwich and chips is super reasonable and it hit , like sprouts sandwiches on steroids Chicken salad sandwich and turkey avocado

Kevin J.

The sandwich he tastes... healthy. Not exactly my thing but maybe some else may like it. They do pack the sandwich with lots of veggies and its more like a salad between to pieces of toast than a hearty sandwich. I think that they could also give a bit more for what you pay for. It's not very filling. Although i may not like it that much, i think there is a market for this kind of food, so i hope them the best!

Māla Market is one of those spots where you're like "I can make this at home" but it something about how it's done here just makes it better. This Māla Market location in Kailua is a walk-up window with a few outdoor tables right up front to sit at. The Kailua Shopping Center has plenty of free parking, and even a few 10 minute stalls if you're going to pick up. The service here is really quick, if you were just ordering to-go, you'd definitely be in and out in 10 ish minutes. They specialize in sandwiches with tons of fresh veggies on sprouted bread. And you get a choice of side, either chips or salad. If you get a salad, it's a simple spring mix salad with a creamy cilantro dressing or a pink goddess dressing. The dressings here are so good, and I believe that they make it in-house and you can purchase a bottle of it! My fave is their pink goddess dressing. My go-to is their tuna salad sandwich or the mala delight, which is all veg. I've also had their turkey sandwich and heard great things about their shrimp salad sandwich. Grabbing a sandwich from here and bringing to a nearby beach or hike is such a lovely way to spend the day in Kailua!

If you're looking for fresh, delicious sandwiches made fast and to order, Mala Market in Kailua is the place to go! Their sandwiches are always incredible--flavorful, perfectly balanced, and filling without being too heavy. You can really taste the freshness in every bite! I love that they make their sandwiches on-site and super quickly, so you're never waiting long. The location is super convenient, making it an easy stop whether you're on the go or looking for a quick, satisfying meal. Also, their black iced tea is amazing--a must-try! It pairs perfectly with their sandwiches and is one of my favorites on the island. Overall, Mala Market is hands down one of my top sandwich spots in Hawaii. Great food, fast service, and a convenient location--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend!

On our way to Lanikai Beach, we stopped by to get brunch. They have wraps and sandwiches. We got the shrimp wrap with a salad. It was big enough to share between two. They gave us a pink dressing (I think it was strawberry flavor) and a lime ranch. They pair well with both wrap and salad. We also order a plantation sweet tea and it's a MUST try.! Everything was delicious.! There are tables along the parking lot to sit and enjoy your meal. They are shaded, which is a plus in my book. Even though the streets are busy, it was not noisy. Very tranquil place.

What is the vinaigrette that is served with the hummus wrap? Strawberry or raspberry?

There was no place to tip? are tips cash only? Sorry, I didn't realize it till I left.

Parking: street side Seating: 5 smaller tables that hold 3-4 people each. There is bench seating outside. Service: ordering was quick & easy. Actually receiving our food took a little over 30 mins but it was a weekend and they were slammed! I'd happily wait every time because the burritos really are that good. Food: nothing tastes better than a konos burrito in a to go bag on the beach. I'm a huge fan of the chorizo burrito add avocado & my husband devours the pork one!

I'm a business owner and to me customer service matters more than anything, even when the experience isn't perfect. Kono's stepped up. Everything went well from order through delivery, and the Tube Bagel was fresh and delicious. They were out of something, but called to offer a choice of substitutions. I would share a photo but it's currently passing through my digestive system and not feeling very photogenic at the moment. Ignore that silly disgusting mess attached to my original review, but I will leave the photos up because I think they are instructive for management. Mission Accomplished Kono's Kailua! Not a criticism but I couldn't communicate with the Uber Eats driver through the website app. Whoever it was found me.

Despite the fact that it's a considerably trek for city-dwellers, factoring either traffic or bus schedules into the equation, or both if you're particularly unlucky, it's a journey always worth taking. Hit Hanauma Bay along the way and make it a day trip; the only way to top those dazzling sights is to follow them with a stellar meal. Boasting a menu composed of locally-sourced produce and entirely vegan options, you'll want to take a number of friends for the best experience. Heck, get out there and make some new friends! Join one of the long communal picnic tables out back and introduce yourself; there are no friendlier folks on earth than those living in paradise, as far as I've seen. That said, if there was only one dish to order, it would have to be the Oh WOW Laulau. Wow, indeed! No where else on earth have I found vegan laulau, let alone such a stellar rendition. Traditionally consisting of fatty pork and/or fish steamed in taro leaves, this version eschews the meat in favor of hearty root vegetables, adding creamy coconut into the mix for richness. Not to be overlooked is the Tofu Poke provided on the side, claiming to be spicy but really bearing just enough warmth to taste perfectly balanced. This was easily my personal favorite from the small sampling of dishes provided, but it's a close call when all the options are so good. Another front runner is the BBQ Portobello Sandwich. Mushrooms marinated in a bright, smoky barbecue sauce practically sing between two whole wheat buns. Coconut slaw tops off the assemblage with just the right amount of subtle sweetness to contrast the deeply savory flavors within. Simpler but no less spectacular dishes include the Roasted Veg Platter and Roasted Veg Avocado Sandwich. The way that the vegetables are treated with respect, from the moment they're harvested from nearby farms to the care taken when they reach the kitchen is evident with every bite. Cooked with care and proffered generously with each serving, even the basics make the trek out here worthwhile. I'm still trying to recreate that impossibly umami gravy offered on the side. It's one of those things that are so astoundingly, inconceivably delicious, it's impossible to deconstruct. Each entree promises an ideal amount of food; satisfying diners without over-stuffing them. That said, you'll still want to make room for dessert, especially when you see the towering bowls full of Outta This Swirled Soft Serve. Cool, naturally sweet spirals of banana-based soft serve are dressed to the nines with cacao sauce that hardens much like magic shell, granola and coconut flakes tumbling down the mountainous terrain, and fresh fruits that vary based on local availability- Expect papaya always to be in ample supply, based on the thriving papaya trees on premise. Each order is abundant enough to be a considered a full meal in and of itself.

This was a savior when driving around the windward side of island and looking for vegetarian lunch…read more We ordered Portobello burger which had mushroom pieces instead of the patty as I had assumed but tasted good nevertheless. Hummus wrap was good too but cold contrary to my expectation again. Overall nice place but not as good as other reviews made it sound. Another thing to note is that they don't have restrooms. You can go across the parking lot in MacD for that.
