Konala

To begin with, the food was good. The chicken was tasty. LOVE that this is available as a healthy alternative on CDA's main street/hub for fast food. Thank goodness!!!! The inside was a bit confusing. There is no menu on the wall, so I felt like a zombie the second I walked in. Are we fast food? Are we sit down? Are we... whatever this is? I even asked if they had just opened and she said they had been there for several months. So the lack of menu signage is not due to its newness. We soon found there were laminated menus on the counter but even that is confusing: are we stuck with the few bowls on the menu or can we create our own? (If management sees this - I highly recommend letting us build our own bowl, with carb/protein/topping guidance). The girls that worked there were kind, and said that we could make our own bowls, but it was a confusing situation that involved the service rep essentially creating an order for the bowl *closest* to what each of us wanted, but then adding and subtracting items from it. In my case, I was upcharged $2 because I wanted cucumber tomato salad instead of salad dressing and rice, which I was not alerted to until I swiped my credit card. Honestly, for $17 for LUNCH, it wasn't worth it. I prefer Chipotle, where I can build my own bowl and know what I'm paying for in upcharges. I also am very irked that there is ZERO option for a cup of water. I just paid $17 and you can't give me a cup of water? NO CUPS ALLOWED. Instead, I paid an additional $2 for a small bottle of off-brand water that wholesales for maybe 30 cents. My friend didn't even buy a drink because she was so annoyed. We sat inside and the atmosphere is fine, however, our table had not been wiped down in quite some time. The food was fine, no criticisms there. Sadly not feeling that I'll return. I would also love to educate the world that GLUTEN IS NOT THE SAME AS CARBOHYDRATES!! :P (This is not throwing shade at Konala, just funny because of the misconception out there that they are one and the same!)

This place is amazing.They have a 100 percent gluten free menu. The greek bowl and the teriyaki chicken bowl are my two favorites. Delicious and nutritious highly recommend this place
