The food? Absolutely amazing.\n\nAnd that's where it ends.\n\nAs a vegetarian, I am always looking for new places to eat. I work near Chakra and a co-worker and I decided to head over there on our (hour) lunch break. We walked in and saw a sign that said \"please wait to be greeted!\" so... we did. For almost ten minutes. A few employees glanced at us and didn't say anything. Finally, an employee told us we could \"sit anywhere we wanted\" - why did we need to wait to be greeted, then? Oh well. \n\nThe food isn't cheap. A tea and the Nutty Raw-vacado ran me nearly 20 bucks with tip. Our server was all right, but it took ten minutes just to get her over to get our drink orders. Another 25-30 minutes passed (we were looking at around 1:45 and we had to be back to work by 2PM) and our food was finally out.\n\nAnd it was REALLY good. The plate was overflowing with greens and my sandwich was delicious. We stuffed our faces pretty quickly - I didn't get to enjoy my food half as much as I would've liked! My co-worker mentioned that last time he had eaten at Chakra, he had ended up having a nearly 2-hour lunch because of the slow service. \n\nI hate to say it, but, for almost all raw food, what the heck is taking so long in the kitchen?\n\nAs delicious as the food was, I have to say - I probably won't be back to Chakra.
