Went here because I am recently vegetarian. They were one of the first places to pop up as a vegetarian restaurant. By NO means are they Vegetarian only, but the veggie options were wide to choose from and tasted AMAZING. The servers were really nice, and they had live music. We learned they have live music every Saturday, and sometimes it's one of their old servers ! The crowd was lovely and very warming.
Always a good and healthy choice. Friendly staff and food ready in a few minutes. Great place for lunch if you are on a tight schedule. Wraps, quesadillas and soups are all good. I work in the area and this is my go to lunch option.
Whether you are looking for a healthy wrap and protein shake or comfort food and a beer, Palani Drive is an unsuspecting local go-to for casual meals and smoothies/drinks. The more I go here, the more I want to come back!! Also hosts live music and later-than-usual happy hour.
This place hands down has the best Hummus and Toubouli wrap ever! Love all their wraps and their smoothies and green drinks are delicious. I love that you can add supplements to the drinks.
Cute little restaurant. Parking can be a bit difficult. The restaurant itself was very open and I was greeted immediately upon walking in the door. The server was friendly and walked me through some menu items to make a choice from. Order was taken quickly and was made within about 10 minutes. The wraps were hearty and had a great taste. Very filling. I got the Cali Club & Chicken Salad for my son for takeout. Wraps were so heart we were able to spit them and have half of each. I also ordered the Hawaiian Breeze. Well I did not like that at all. It tasted as if all of the fruit used wasn't ripe. I won't order that again. All in all the wraps are good enough to return to try others.
