During lunch time rush hour , they always try to nickel and dime you, multiple times they find ways to add extra $ in your receipt. Please double check! I got the chicken and added lamb (which clearly said $3.85) but they added $7.55 on my receipt. When i mentioned somehow they justified that extra lamb is $7.55. 🤦🏽‍♂️they use the word “extra” to their benefits a lot. In a chicken bowl, if you add lamb, it’s extra ($3.85) but they will charge you as if you getting extra extra.

I usually have a good experience but everything about this time was not good. I placed a pick up order which originally said it would take 10 minutes. It ended up taking almost 45. I got a text that it was ready, and when I got there, they somehow didn’t have it? The girl at the front was barely talking to me and said okay we’ll make it. I waited another 20 minutes and then I was ready. But I order the sauce on the side and it was on top. I ordered the super greens but they put a bunch of lettuce! The super greens don’t have lettuce, so it completely changes the way my bowl tasted and they didn’t have the Pita in the bag. Just a not great experience all around. Will never order pick up again and will just do it there to make sure things are right and to not wait 45 minutes.
