Awesome!Went to Eats meets West yesterday for lunch and were blown away. They have a great menu of many different bowls and each one looks delicious!I tried the mango tango and my sister got the Caesar one. Wow on both!!I will definitely go here for a scrumptious healthy meal everytime I’m in the Bay Area.

I am sorry to say that I cannot suggest this establishment. Although the premise of the concept is creative, the execution is poor and unwieldy. You are better off going to another restaurant.The bowls have too much salad and need better greens to carbs ratio. The flavor of the sauces are weak and there isn’t enough sauce provided with each. The seating space is also nonexistent.The menu needs to be far simpler and more streamlined. There are just too many options for any one of them to executed well.

Very tasty and filling salad bowl. We got takeout since the restaurant is not designed for a group lunch (maybe if it was just me and a friend we would eat in). The dressings were kept separate so the leaves were not soggy and the toppers stayed crispy. Really quite a nice flavor and texture experience! Mildly spicy and maximally flavored. As a celiac, I was not concerned about keeping my meal gluten free since so many of the offerings are naturally gluten free.

Excellent, tasty, unique bowls! Really recommend the Darling Lia 😋 the Indian crunchy toppings were a nice touch. The owner and staff person were friendly and helpful with my group’s allergies.This is a small spot, so have a little patience and give yourself a few extra minutes for the preparation.To the owner — maybe add descriptions for the Indian toppings online, as it was hard to know what to order.

Healthy and low salt, but delicious.I came here because needed to find a good, healthy place to meetup with a friend. A lot of vegan restaurants will be heavy on the carbs or the fake meat. Great if youre vegan but not trying to be super healthy.This place is both packed with flavor and textures but is also quite healthy. A good number of variety bowls to choose from and the owner spends a good amount of time educating new customers on their food philosophy and what to expect with each bowl.I got the Darling Lia bowl with soy protein. The curry was nice and thick since it was made with lentils. The soy protein had a good chicken like texture and some tasty spices to give it flavor.We also got to try the mango kulfi which we licked completely clean!

Excellent little gem! The bowls are loaded with flavor, and nutrients. Very unique combination of ingredients. The owner was super nice and explained the whole process of creating a signature bowl.

O U T S T A N D I N G !!! If you are looking for a hearty and healthy meal, this is your place. Any dietary needs can be met here. We were waited on with sincere warmth and kindness along with patience in any questions we had on various bowl options. Ordering your meal is set up kind of like a Chipotle as you select what items to add to your bowl. 4 people in my group and everyone extremely enjoyed their food!

This is a very small eatery at Belmont, CA. You can pick a choice of the base, protein, veggies and carbs (rice). The taste was outstanding and at the end you don’t feel heavy at all despite the bowl looking quite large. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a healthy choice.

We ordered from here because of the great reviews but was super disappointed. It’s overpriced for what it is - just some generic sauce, salad leaves and rice. We ordered add ons, but when we got the bowls, they came without those. You’d be better off buying the basic ingredients from the grocery store and putting it together for $10 or less.

I was on my way back from Foster city to sunnyvale and I looked up healthy bowls in the area. This place came up first and when I saw that it was Indian I sped SO FAST lol. Upon walking in the place was so cute and the nice lady at the front was SO helpful. She was so friendly and cute, looking back I wish I got her name!!Theres a huge variety of bowls and they all look so bomb. Theyre typically vegetarian but you can add meat if you like. The lady suggested a makhani bowl so I went with that and brown rice. I added chicken as well. Girlllll this food wasnt spicy but it was still super flavorful!!! I also ordered an iced chai and this was the damn best iced chai I ever had. definitely loved this place and would come back!! I wish they were closer to Sunnyvale cus I would be here all the freaking time!!!

🔥🔥🔥Indian cuisine meets healthy bowls and nuts 🥜 You select a bowl flavor (tandoori like and more)- I had Bangin Ringan - a base (brown or white rice, beans) and then a bunch of nuts and seeds (sunflower, souffleed lentils, cashews and more) and they add some extra dressings to it. Never had anything like it ! It’s a bit spicy so if you don’t like spicy you’d better ask. Quantities are pretty large and staff is adorable. Too often healthy bowls taste like air with some dressing on top and you don’t get a real satisfaction besides eating healthy. This one was perhaps the most tasty salad I had for a while to be honest. Will come back !

I love the concept of this salad-focused restaurant. It’s unique. And, more healthful options are needed in the Bay Area. The salad was fresh, the crunchies made the salad enjoyable, and the “dressing”/sauce yummy. The star of this establishment is the sauce. To improve, the amount of sauce needs to be generous and more protein items are needed - eg, more garbanzos, or add paneer, tofu, and other proteins as part of the standard bowl offerings. Soon after, I was hungry again.

We first went there during a massive heat wave during a power outage a few weeks ago, and because we couldn’t cook at home we were looking for a place to eat with A\C. Unfortunately their AC was fairly minimal, so we didn’t get the cool relief we wanted. However the food was absolutely amazing and unique, not to mention healthy and very accommodating to special requests.One person in our family is a vegetarian, another is strictly Keto, and another eats only like a meat eating cave man. All of us left very happy, including the cave man — even though he had no idea how to order, or why he was even there. Today we went there as a family for a second time and all loved it again — including the cave man, again. We gave him the choice to go with us or get something else, and he chose to go with us — a minor miracle considering he is a meat and potatoes guy. He loved it.One really fun thing about it is that they serve their food in giant heart shaped bowls. I don’t know why I care so much, but this makes the food both fun to eat and tastes so much better somehow! I’ve even gone online to find the bowls so I can order some for home use. I absolutely loved using them and want a few for home.* SUGGESTION* If I were the restaurateur I would sell the bowls. I bet a lot of people would love to buy them. I would for sure. For that matter they should sell some of their special toppings, in to go containers. I would also buy those. And I’d buy the sauces in pint containers. There’s alot to love about this place.I left feeling so light and healthy, which is rare for dining out. I didn’t over eat and I didn’t deviate from my keto plan. It was a very good feeling to get a healthy big meal without feeling uncomfortably stuffed.After I got home I sent pictures of our meal to my best friend, and got back the response: “wow, that looks amazing. We are SO going there for lunch!” So, it looks like a have a new favorite restaurant! ♡ ♡Lastly the decor and staff are extremely friendly, kind and warm people. I love seeing the family photos on the wall — all the kid pictures are so sweet. It’s a lovely touch and makes me genuinely love these people (whoI don’t even know!).

Cute little lunch spot featuring plenty of plant-based proteins. They even have a vegan iced chai, vegan ginger coffee, and vegan falooda!

Love that this is a small, woman-owned business!! I thought the flavors of the bowl were delicious, fun concept, very friendly service.However, overall, I think the experience could be better. I dont like that theres limited indoor seating. Its cold outside!! I guess thats not a problem in the summer, but its definitely a problem in the winter (and the weather right now is winter-like and its April).My second issue is that the menu, and ordering, is way way too complicated. The owner explained it to me, and I was still confused and floundering. I guess its not a problem for a visitors, but for first timers or occasional patrons, its just too confusing.Finally, while the bowl was very tasty, I was hungry 2 hours later. I wish that a protein was included in the standard bowl. Having to pay more for protein is not ideal.

Dine-in experience. The veggies seemed fresh, but the rice was certainly a day, or two, old. The real upsetting bit was that I was not allowed to use the restroom after I finished my meal. The guy working the counter told me that the restroom was locked and that he did not have the key. Seriously?? Your guests can’t use the restroom after they have finished eating at your restaurant? Shameful.

Amazing flavor, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. Its all here. And, since were amidst a global pandemic, you can place an order and pick up the food with zero contact. I simply called the phone number, and a human being (gasp!) picked up the phone, took my order, and emailed the check to me. I ordered the Makhani, with brown rice and greens, black beans, added beets and avocado, with fried garlic, Budaran mung beans, and channa dal. Out the door, it costs about $20. But if youre reading this, then that means you are not naive to Bay Area prices, and you also know that getting quality ingredients aint cheap. Plus, its so yummy! Its tangy without overpowering the freshness and flavors of the ingredients. I am definitely going back to try the other bowls and flavor combinations.

Fantastic fresh and amazingly tasty food, a salad bowl with an Indian twist, tangy and crunchy, sweet and spicy, all the flavors are provided with lots of choice and loving caring help with the selection and blending. The food here is exceptional and belies its location. I came here after a disappointing day and was blown away. It completely turned my weekend around. The owner is passionate, warm and generous. Lets hope she can get another one of these going nearer my home in future.

First time customer and Alfa (sp?) was so friendly and helpful with my order. She took the time to explain all the options to put my meal together. My wife and I shared a bowl and there was plenty to eat for two. The food was delicious, coupled with a very tasty ginger coffee.Definitely adding this to our go-to spots. Highly recommended.

My wife had the Darling Lia bowl. She enjoyed the unique tasting sauces, the delicious curry, the mouth-pleasing toppings, and appreciated the generous size of the rice bowl. All of the ingredients were harmoniously balanced in terms of texture and flavor. She was pleasantly surprised to find this precious, little establishment in small town Belmont. (This review was authored by my wife)

Amazing service!!!! Amazing food!!During pandemic, I feel customer service at other restaurants went down the drain but Eats Meets West Bowls have kept their customer service intact. I’ve tried 3 different verities there, famous makhani bowl, mango tango and darling lea. I still can’t decide which one is my favorite. I loved all of them. They are so different from each other. Owner/manager took her time to explained me how she came up with this creative idea. I would love to support our small business owners who puts their soul in their business.I feel it’s a good place for people who love Indian food but stay away because of high carbs and calories. At Eat Meets West Bowls you’ll find low carb, low calorie Indian food.

Excellent, delicious, and a treat that you feel good about eating. Walking in to the restaurant, youll be met with aromas thatll make your mouth start watering instantly or was that just me??? The food lived up to the smell. Interesting full flavors, mixture of textures, and fresh!! We loved the All About Makhani Bowl. Definitely will be making this into the take-out rotation. Woman-owned business is just an added bonus.

Great food but a little pricey given you dont get any real protein unless you pay an upcharge. Menu is complicated and should be simplified without the owner having to explain how it works.

Review №35

2022-03-07 20:50:06

My first time going I felt kind of overwhelmed by how much choice there was, but the food was excellent. The garlic cilantro sauce was amazing and Ive never had that flavor profile before. I would recommend it.

If youre eager to fill your belly with vibrant flavor profiles, you will not be disappointed.I went with Lets Chaat and would order it again in a second. I thought I was going overboard with the add-ons and didnt think I would finish, but gobbled it all up it was so delicious.The bowl came out to $21.99, which is on the pricier side for me as far as quick, bowl lunches go. I dont regret one penny!Come for an explosion of textures and flavors (theres something for everyone), come for heartwarming conversation with the owner, come to support a local, small business.

Healthy bowls, yes, but quite pricey and nothing to write home about taste. It’s essentially a burrito bowl with a touch of indian sauce based on what you choose. $17 for a takeaway bowl of Rice, lettuce, some indian sauce and about 2 tablespoons of protein imo is pricey

Review №41

2021-10-05 21:21:31

Super flavorful sauces, this is nowhere near a boring salad bowl. I love that its veggie forward but without ignoring protein. I love the crispy toppings, fresh greens, and oh my goodness, those amazing sauces!!!

Really good optiona for vegetarians. Food is exactly like the name of the restaurant where you can have Indian/ other Asian style foods in a western style that is not too heavy but healthy and tasty.
