Roast Kitchen - City of New York

Ugh. Just wasted my money. Chicken was dry and is still stuck going down my esophagus. They only give you four toppings and you cannot opt for more even if you want to pay for it. For some reason the salad dressing I ordered meant that it had to be hot so they put my Romain lettuce on the stove which is now slime. Tortilla chips were stale.

Pretty standard salad and rice bowl spot. Clean sit down area and food is ready quick. If you're trying to get a quick, no frills bite to eat in this area, this is a good spot to hit up.

The inside of this place is huge! There is a little ramp once you enter, and indoor dining to the right. I had gotten here 10 minutes after they opened and they were already working. Deliveries, pickup, this place is popular. I appreciated their selection of foods that we could have in a bowl. You could either make your own or have one that has the ingredients pre selected. I had gotten a bowl with box choy and rice; falafel was added for $1.50. It was delicious! I haven't had something that savory in a very long time. The workers are super hard working. If I was in this area often, I would go again. But I believe this establishment has multiple locations, so you can check it out for yourself :)It looks like their menu changes by the season too! Which is a huge plus.

Excellent value lunch. Large portions Basmati rice, stirfry spinach, chorizo, grilled chicken delicious!

I love roast kitchen as a healthier alternative. One exception I would make is today. It was obvious they need more employees or have to stop taking delivery/DoorDash orders. Took 45 minutes to get food and it was not that crowded inside. I felt horrible for the employees, who were working VERY hard and fast, but just unable to keep up with the volume
