Last night was my first time at Nature's Grill Cafe (Staten Island) and everything was fantastic.
Eating healthy is delicious when you eat here!!!!!
Everything was bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection.
We started off with a fresh, crisp salad, followed by a trio of dips and blue corn tortilla chips. The guacamole and the hummus were really good and super packed with flavor. The salsa was terrific as well.
We sampled a few wraps, The El Mexicano, the Chicken Lovers, and the Cesar. All were absolutely delicious!!!!
Next came out three delicious entrees. Chicken Kabobs, skewered pieces of super moist chicken, with onion, tomato and green bell pepper. Brushed with a light sweet glaze, they were very good.
The Taste of China rice bowl was a mixture of chicken, beef and broccoli and prepared with a brown Asian sauce. The flavors were sooooooo good!
Next was a teriyaki rice bowl. Brown rice and bison mixed up with assorted veggies in a teriyaki sauce. Everything complimented each other nicely.
For dessert we had an assortment of cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake and carrot cake. All three were sugar free and if you didn’t know you would’ve have known.
The owners and staff could not have been any nicer Service was very accommodating
They even made special dishes for the vegetarian and vegan guests.
Overall it was a great meal and I’m looking forward to getting back...
Read moreOnce upon a time, I found a menu for this place on the floor, tucked behind the refrigerator, of the place I moved into. I didn't read any reviews, I just held onto the menu. One day, I was walking in the area and stumbled upon this place. It looked so peaceful from the outside. It was meant to be!
When I opened the door, the loud voices from customers, tv and music spilled out. I found myself staring at a hallway with a kitchen at the other end. This place is SMALL and had a full house! The amount of orders being placed over the phone for delivery, blew my mind. This place is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! The staff behind the counter is very kind and considerate, even during the rush.
The food was surprisingly delicious and the portions are a good size. The smoothies are delightfully fresh. There is a sign that tells you that "Fast food is not good and good food is not fast." So expect to wait while your yummy food is prepared. Also, make note that good food is not cheap! I paid $15 for a smoothie and chicken wrap. (This is the price I usually pay for my lunch on the Upper Eastside of Manhattan). I feel this is a little pricey for Brooklyn, but I will pay it (and so will you) because it's...
Read moreHad some lunch at Nature's Grill and it is one of the better restaurants in Bay Ridge. I like going here, even though the items are a little pricier, because they truly taste better and fresher.
Not sure how much of that is the marketing or the way they present themselves, but the food definitely tastes healthier!
I ordered the El Mexicano wrap, which is more of a burrito. It tastes better than most of the burritos you can get from any Mexican restaurant. I always order this item, since it hits the spot of being filling without feeling fast food-y.
The wraps come with a side of bluecorn tortilla chips and a grapefruit slice, which also feel last fast food-y. The meal is pretty filling and with some hot sauce, the flavor is delicious.
They also have a nice kids menu offering of a chicken and cheese wrap, that comes with the same sides and a fruit smoothie. The smoothie is a big hit with my family and the chicken and cheese wrap is simple, but delicious.
I recommend coming here if you want something above the normal fast...
