Roots is one of my go-to spots in Newark for a quick and satisfying meal. Their salads and bowls are crafted with freshness in mind, featuring a vibrant array of ingredients that are both well-seasoned and bursting with flavor. I find that the standout item on their menu is their adobo chicken; it's so delicious that it keeps me coming back time and again. The menu offers an impressive selection of options and sauces, making it easy to customize your meal to your taste. For those who follow a plant-based diet, Roots is particularly accommodating with a wide range of meat alternatives, including their smoky BBQ tofu, which is a favorite among vegetarians. While they do have a selection of teas available, I find them to be on the sweeter side, which isn’t quite to my liking. As for the atmosphere, the seating area is decent, but it does tend to get a bit noisy and warm because of the open kitchen. Therefore, I usually prefer to opt for takeout to enjoy my meal in a more comfortable setting. Overall, Roots provides a fantastic and flavorful dining experience that I highly recommend! Read less

I bought the limited time item called The Garu. The rice mix with seasoning was flavorful but a bit mild for me. The BBQ chickens were too dry and hard

It wasn't busy this evening because most of the students were gone for the summer. The food was good, but I think my bowl was a little large for me, certainly not the staff's fault. Next time I'll watch myself. The photo with the lid off features barbequed tofu. Read less

I LOVE Roots. I previously worked for the Delaware branch’s manager Rich at the College Park location. He is kind, compassionate, and cares lots about his staff and customers. All the food is great and prepared to the highest quality. I would recommend getting one of the preset menu bowls like the Pesto Caesar or the El Jefe. You really can’t go wrong with any of those. I especially love that Roots is allergy and dietary restriction friendly. Also, kids eat free! I would 100% recommend coming here. Read less

I was not prepared for how good healthy can taste. Great seating area facing Main St, decent prices, great ingredients, friendly staff, fast yet somehow unhurried service.

Very good atmosphere and healthy options.
