Vara Juice — Restaurant in New York

We were craving fresh juices and this place came highly recommended—people said it’s like Juice for Life in Birmingham, so we thought we’d give it a try. Since we didn’t have much time, we placed an online order so it would be ready for pickup. Unfortunately, when we arrived 10–15 minutes later, our order hadn’t even been started yet, which was frustrating and made us a little late.

That being said, the waiter was very kind and quickly fixed the situation. Once we got our drinks, they were absolutely delicious and made up for the waiting time.

The sweetness of the strawberries and mango perfectly balances the tartness of the raspberry sauce, all while the creamy ice cream adds a luxurious touch. And let's not forget the pomegranate seeds, which add a delightful crunch and a burst of juicy flavor. It's like a party in my mouth that I never want to end! If you're looking for a refreshing, Instagram-worthy drink that tastes like a vacation, look no further than Awar Qalb. 10/10 would recommend (and already planning my next trip to get...
