I love that they have meat that is hormone free and antibiotic free. They even have grass fed. The food just didn't taste good. It was the first time that I have had a curry dish at a restaurant that I didn't like. I don't mind paying more for good quality food, but it also needs to taste good.

Real nice clean place, with friendly owners. The menu is diverse and unique in many ways. After pondering the menu I had chosen to try the veggie burger with a house salad with raspberry vinaigrette. no complaints here everything was great, I really enjoyed the food. This location is far from me but I did not mind the drive to try out this establishment. The only thing complaint I have is I believe they used a microwave to heat up my burger, but I cannot be sure.

Natural, organic. Grass fed, beef, wild fish, cage free chicken. Waiter didn't have much personality but got the job done. I ordered the Bison on gluten free bread. It was a little dry but they didn't ask me how I wanted it cooked. Great on a paleo lifestyle.

I have one word for you - Sabzi. Order the sabzi when you're here. It's a Persian herb stew, and it's the most wonderful tasting thing on this planet. You smell it about 30 seconds before it hits the table, and when they set it in front of you...ERHMAHGERD! I always get the basmati rice with it. Get a Turkish coffee while you're there and you won't be disappointed. Seriously...this place is as good as it gets, and they seem to use high quality food. Eat the sabzi! Seriously! You won't be disappointed!

I am so glad I found this place! Traveling while eating paleo is really difficult but this place made my life so much easier! All items are super fresh and their meat is grass fed which is super rare to find! If you want great healthy food be sure to stop by and grab some grub!!!

Love it, and highly recommend Simply Natural Cafe. The food is fantastic, I love their Sabzi although this dish is not for everyone I love it. All their food is great, nice selection of Organic Wines to pair your dinner, and it is the only "Organic" "Vegetarian" Restaurant that I could find that closes later that 6:00pm

The first time I went here I thought the guy behind the counter was rude..turns out he's just really relaxed...haha..the service used to be slow but it seems to have stepped it up a notch. The food is delicious..last time we were there we ordered the lamb chops...so yummy!

My boyfriend and I stopped in just to grab a coffee one day after a large meal. The latte is easily one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time. I came back today to try the food and was blown away. I got the chicken citrus salad and the quality was amazing. Unlike anything you can find nowadays. It's quiet and laid back, probably going to be my new homework spot. Definitely would recommend!!

Finally tried it for the first time, the food was good but the long wait and the unenthusiastic service mostly ruined it for us. The restaurant is nice and clean, however we were put off by the service, an older gentleman (maybe the owner) was our server, he was polite but very quiet and not very enthusiastic, we ordered guacamole and chips to start off with, they came out about 15 mins after we placed our orders, the guac was good but it didn't come served with many chips. Our party of 4 were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time we had lunch, we waited for a while trying to get our servers's attention who had gone to the back to request for more chips, then we finally got his attention, he finally brought a small (almost comical) serving of chips for our left over guacamole. Then the wait for our lunches continued after first arriving and placing our initial orders within being there for 5 minutes we waited for our lunch....30 mins, 40 min, 45 min.....by then we really wanted to just eat and head back to work, we couldn't believe how long it was taking! We asked how much longer it would take and he said it was coming shortly, finally after over 50 min only three of our 4 lunches came out: - 1 Bison burger served with a side of chips - 1 regular burger served with a side of chips - 1 chicken kabob with brown rice and then finally after 5 more minutes the 4th one came out which consisted of tuna salad in a pita. It was outrageous that a lunch for 4 would take close to an hour to be served. Our food was good, it wasn't phenomenal and most definitely not worth the wait. After we ate and after being there for over an hour we tried to get the check, again our server was in no rush even though we had told him we had to head back to work several times. We all enjoyed our food, it was definitely prepared fresh, but it didn't constitute the hour wait when we were the only table there. Maybe it would have tasted a lot better if it had been served faster. Their menu consists of very healthy items with a Middle Eastern influence, they also offer smoothies, fresh juices, and raw foods. - Food 4 - Service 2 (mostly due to the long wait) I would suggest for the owners to speed up their lunch service, most people have to go back to work and don't have all day. I wouldn't be shocked if this was one of the main reasons we were the only ones dining in during lunch hour.

Great food! Amazing bee pollen smoothie and appetizers. My sabzi was amazing and a large dish so I've got leftovers. It was just pretty slow service, but the one lady made all the food so I have mad respect for her and appreciate her for feeding 15 people in an hour. Small place but great options for aspiring vegans, or actual hardcore vegans, but I'm a shitty vegan, heart's not in it.

A not so frequent dine for me for the past 6 years. They make juices an smoothies that aren't great. It is a quiet and not so busy place. The man who works there doesn't speak any English and doesn't know how to smile.

Had red juice twice, persian sabzi and falafel pita and all were delicious!! I like places that go more 'natural' and this definitely feels that way. Nothing greasy, pan seared falafel and healthy juices, it's great! I'll be eating here every time I work in the area :)

Decent lunch spot but extremely slow service. There was only one waiter for the several tables. The food was mediocre. I probably wouldn't visit again as it was a little far from my work for a lunch trip.

If you are always on the road and need something quick and healthy to eat, this is the place to go. When you are trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, on the go, it gets difficult at times because of the lack of these types of restaurants. You got to appreciate places like these. I would definitely recommend to a friend. I only ordered a blueberry smoothie (delicious). The next time I come back I would love to try an actual meal!

Stefania M.
My new favorite place!! Food is delicious, organic, low sodium, fresh! What else can you ask for when you're watching what you eat and eating out. Finding a place this healthy is very difficult now a days! Definitely a must try if you're health conscious and love food

I saw it on Google Maps and decided to take my wife there for lunch, since she works nearby. We arrived and we were the only one at the place, probably because of the time. But the food was great. The lentil burger was awesome. Very moist, not like veggie burgers at other places. She had the italiano and I'll try the left overs later. Lol We'll be back for more. :)

Yelp never fails me! Thank you yelp for helping me find this little hidden gem! Everything is made fresh to order so be patient and understand that it takes a little longer to creat a beautiful meal from scratch! Everything is organic and non-GMO! A huge plus in my book! Vegan, vegetarian, Gluten free and meat choices (grass fed), so basically something for everyone! We ordered the guacamole with the blue chips and the Shirazi salad to start with, delicious and fresh! My husband and I both ordered the Gourmet Sabzi, I had mine vegetarian and my husband added chicken to his; both served with basmati rice, which they cook individually so you get your own tahdig (the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot which happens to end up on top of your rice when they flip it). This is a Persian/Iranian dish called ghormesabzi and as a native I can say that this was the best version I have ever had in a restaurant! The owners are very friendly, the space is clean and inviting and has a great vibe! They also have a health store next door! I can not believe I've only just found this place! My new favorite! :)

They have organic food that tastes great. I especially like their grass fed steak. Their menu is little on the short side, probably due to it being organic. They also have smoothies and organic ice cream if you need your sugar fix.

I went out for dinner here with my family one night, and I must say I'm impressed. Being vegetarian at the time, it was hard to find a place with a selection that surpassed "salad" and "other salad," and Simply Natural Cafe really has a lot. I can't wait to try their raw food! I had a vegetable panini and a pomegranate shake --- definitely try one of their shakes! My little sister got the pizza off the kid's menu, and for the next week all we heard was, "Can we go back for the best pizza in the worldddd?!?!?!" My mom really enjoyed the dressing on the Yogurt Waldorf salad, and everyone else was too busy stuffing their face to make any remarks except "mmmmmmm." There is a bit of a wait for your food, so if you're looking to eat quickly and head out, you may want to save this restaurant for another night. As another reviewer said, the top quality food is truly worth it, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys organic food --- and just food in general.

The service is always a little slow..But the atmosphere and organic food at a fair price keeps me coming back..I adore the store right next boor and I highly suggest the salads and wraps ...the have raw food classes and wine tasting...everyonce in awhile that are really cool!!

Lissa g.
in a word, simply natural cafe is simply FABULOUS!!! Never mind the wait (you can call ahead).... For organic top quality food made to order it is totally worth it!!! As for the portions, you dont need an "american" sized portion to get what you came in for... great quality food made to order, nutrient dense rich food to keep your energy going well into the next meal! Highly recommend this lovely place! Next door there is also a vitamin/nutrion shop, so you can get everything u need in one place!

The food is organic, delicious and reasonably priced. This family owned gem is hidden away next to the Simply Natural Nutrition Store in an unassuming strip mall right off University just North of Sunrise Blvd. Clean and tasteful on the inside, the staff is friendly and very warm/ welcoming. Their Mediterranean menu is not extensive, but everything we tried (tabbouleh, eggplant & cucumber yogurt appetizers and herb chicken sabzi entree) was delicious. They have a nice selection or raw entrees, drinks and desserts that we are looking forward to trying as well. We are thrilled to find an organic restaurant in our area and will be back here often!

If you visit Simply Natural Cafe, you know you are eating "real" food. The food is delicious and wholesome...if a bit on the pricey side. That's just the price you have to pay for genuine, organic food. I adore the Pomegranate Sauce and the raw chocolate mousse is to die for. Last visit, I had the shrimp stir fry in coconut milk and it was yummy. The atmosphere is also lovely...very peaceful and calming. It's a little place so not too fancy, but the simple fare speaks for itself. They offer delicious salads, organic free range burgers, stir frys with chicken, beef, or shrimp, and raw dishes as well. Next time, I want to be brave enough to try the raw pizza.

Keri R.
Great food especially for those who might be vegetarian in your party. Took my youngest son and his wife here because they are vegetarian and we were looking for lunch. The food selection was different than the average place but very tasty. I had a turkey burger, they had coconut curry vegetables (I had a bite they were very tasty), my husband had something he didn't know what it was, but it was delicious. We didn't have any service issues other than I am not sure our waiter could speak much English. We were waited on pretty quickly and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I would go back if I was in the area.

Decent lunch spot but extremely slow service. There was only one waiter for the several tables. The food was mediocre. I probably wouldn't visit again as it was a little far from my work for a lunch trip.

If you are always on the road and need something quick and healthy to eat, this is the place to go. When you are trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, on the go, it gets difficult at times because of the lack of these types of restaurants. You got to appreciate places like these. I would definitely recommend to a friend. I only ordered a blueberry smoothie (delicious). The next time I come back I would love to try an actual meal!

My new favorite place!! Food is delicious, organic, low sodium, fresh! What else can you ask for when you're watching what you eat and eating out. Finding a place this healthy is very difficult now a days! Definitely a must try if you're health conscious and love food

I saw it on Google Maps and decided to take my wife there for lunch, since she works nearby. We arrived and we were the only one at the place, probably because of the time. But the food was great. The lentil burger was awesome. Very moist, not like veggie burgers at other places. She had the italiano and I'll try the left overs later. Lol We'll be back for more. :)

Yelp never fails me! Thank you yelp for helping me find this little hidden gem! Everything is made fresh to order so be patient and understand that it takes a little longer to creat a beautiful meal from scratch! Everything is organic and non-GMO! A huge plus in my book! Vegan, vegetarian, Gluten free and meat choices (grass fed), so basically something for everyone! We ordered the guacamole with the blue chips and the Shirazi salad to start with, delicious and fresh! My husband and I both ordered the Gourmet Sabzi, I had mine vegetarian and my husband added chicken to his; both served with basmati rice, which they cook individually so you get your own tahdig (the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot which happens to end up on top of your rice when they flip it). This is a Persian/Iranian dish called ghormesabzi and as a native I can say that this was the best version I have ever had in a restaurant! The owners are very friendly, the space is clean and inviting and has a great vibe! They also have a health store next door! I can not believe I've only just found this place! My new favorite! :)

They have organic food that tastes great. I especially like their grass fed steak. Their menu is little on the short side, probably due to it being organic. They also have smoothies and organic ice cream if you need your sugar fix.

I went out for dinner here with my family one night, and I must say I'm impressed. Being vegetarian at the time, it was hard to find a place with a selection that surpassed "salad" and "other salad," and Simply Natural Cafe really has a lot. I can't wait to try their raw food! I had a vegetable panini and a pomegranate shake --- definitely try one of their shakes! My little sister got the pizza off the kid's menu, and for the next week all we heard was, "Can we go back for the best pizza in the worldddd?!?!?!" My mom really enjoyed the dressing on the Yogurt Waldorf salad, and everyone else was too busy stuffing their face to make any remarks except "mmmmmmm." There is a bit of a wait for your food, so if you're looking to eat quickly and head out, you may want to save this restaurant for another night. As another reviewer said, the top quality food is truly worth it, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys organic food --- and just food in general.

The service is always a little slow..But the atmosphere and organic food at a fair price keeps me coming back..I adore the store right next boor and I highly suggest the salads and wraps ...the have raw food classes and wine tasting...everyonce in awhile that are really cool!!
(4)Lissa g.
in a word, simply natural cafe is simply FABULOUS!!! Never mind the wait (you can call ahead).... For organic top quality food made to order it is totally worth it!!! As for the portions, you dont need an "american" sized portion to get what you came in for... great quality food made to order, nutrient dense rich food to keep your energy going well into the next meal! Highly recommend this lovely place! Next door there is also a vitamin/nutrion shop, so you can get everything u need in one place!

The food is organic, delicious and reasonably priced. This family owned gem is hidden away next to the Simply Natural Nutrition Store in an unassuming strip mall right off University just North of Sunrise Blvd. Clean and tasteful on the inside, the staff is friendly and very warm/ welcoming. Their Mediterranean menu is not extensive, but everything we tried (tabbouleh, eggplant & cucumber yogurt appetizers and herb chicken sabzi entree) was delicious. They have a nice selection or raw entrees, drinks and desserts that we are looking forward to trying as well. We are thrilled to find an organic restaurant in our area and will be back here often!

If you visit Simply Natural Cafe, you know you are eating "real" food. The food is delicious and wholesome...if a bit on the pricey side. That's just the price you have to pay for genuine, organic food. I adore the Pomegranate Sauce and the raw chocolate mousse is to die for. Last visit, I had the shrimp stir fry in coconut milk and it was yummy. The atmosphere is also lovely...very peaceful and calming. It's a little place so not too fancy, but the simple fare speaks for itself. They offer delicious salads, organic free range burgers, stir frys with chicken, beef, or shrimp, and raw dishes as well. Next time, I want to be brave enough to try the raw pizza.

Great food especially for those who might be vegetarian in your party. Took my youngest son and his wife here because they are vegetarian and we were looking for lunch. The food selection was different than the average place but very tasty. I had a turkey burger, they had coconut curry vegetables (I had a bite they were very tasty), my husband had something he didn't know what it was, but it was delicious. We didn't have any service issues other than I am not sure our waiter could speak much English. We were waited on pretty quickly and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I would go back if I was in the area.

Finally tried it for the first time, the food was good but the long wait and the unenthusiastic service mostly ruined it for us. The restaurant is nice and clean, however we were put off by the service, an older gentleman (maybe the owner) was our server, he was polite but very quiet and not very enthusiastic, we ordered guacamole and chips to start off with, they came out about 15 mins after we placed our orders, the guac was good but it didn't come served with many chips. Our party of 4 were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time we had lunch, we waited for a while trying to get our servers's attention who had gone to the back to request for more chips, then we finally got his attention, he finally brought a small (almost comical) serving of chips for our left over guacamole. Then the wait for our lunches continued after first arriving and placing our initial orders within being there for 5 minutes we waited for our lunch....30 mins, 40 min, 45 min.....by then we really wanted to just eat and head back to work, we couldn't believe how long it was taking! We asked how much longer it would take and he said it was coming shortly, finally after over 50 min only three of our 4 lunches came out: - 1 Bison burger served with a side of chips - 1 regular burger served with a side of chips - 1 chicken kabob with brown rice and then finally after 5 more minutes the 4th one came out which consisted of tuna salad in a pita. It was outrageous that a lunch for 4 would take close to an hour to be served. Our food was good, it wasn't phenomenal and most definitely not worth the wait. After we ate and after being there for over an hour we tried to get the check, again our server was in no rush even though we had told him we had to head back to work several times. We all enjoyed our food, it was definitely prepared fresh, but it didn't constitute the hour wait when we were the only table there. Maybe it would have tasted a lot better if it had been served faster. Their menu consists of very healthy items with a Middle Eastern influence, they also offer smoothies, fresh juices, and raw foods. - Food 4 - Service 2 (mostly due to the long wait) I would suggest for the owners to speed up their lunch service, most people have to go back to work and don't have all day. I wouldn't be shocked if this was one of the main reasons we were the only ones dining in during lunch hour.

Great food! Amazing bee pollen smoothie and appetizers. My sabzi was amazing and a large dish so I've got leftovers. It was just pretty slow service, but the one lady made all the food so I have mad respect for her and appreciate her for feeding 15 people in an hour. Small place but great options for aspiring vegans, or actual hardcore vegans, but I'm a shitty vegan, heart's not in it.

My boyfriend and I stopped in just to grab a coffee one day after a large meal. The latte is easily one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time. I came back today to try the food and was blown away. I got the chicken citrus salad and the quality was amazing. Unlike anything you can find nowadays. It's quiet and laid back, probably going to be my new homework spot. Definitely would recommend!!

A not so frequent dine for me for the past 6 years. They make juices an smoothies that aren't great. It is a quiet and not so busy place. The man who works there doesn't speak any English and doesn't know how to smile.

I love that they have meat that is hormone free and antibiotic free. They even have grass fed. The food just didn't taste good. It was the first time that I have had a curry dish at a restaurant that I didn't like. I don't mind paying more for good quality food, but it also needs to taste good.
(3)Sean M.
Real nice clean place, with friendly owners. The menu is diverse and unique in many ways. After pondering the menu I had chosen to try the veggie burger with a house salad with raspberry vinaigrette. no complaints here everything was great, I really enjoyed the food. This location is far from me but I did not mind the drive to try out this establishment. The only thing complaint I have is I believe they used a microwave to heat up my burger, but I cannot be sure.

Natural, organic. Grass fed, beef, wild fish, cage free chicken. Waiter didn't have much personality but got the job done. I ordered the Bison on gluten free bread. It was a little dry but they didn't ask me how I wanted it cooked. Great on a paleo lifestyle.

I have one word for you - Sabzi. Order the sabzi when you're here. It's a Persian herb stew, and it's the most wonderful tasting thing on this planet. You smell it about 30 seconds before it hits the table, and when they set it in front of you...ERHMAHGERD! I always get the basmati rice with it. Get a Turkish coffee while you're there and you won't be disappointed. Seriously...this place is as good as it gets, and they seem to use high quality food. Eat the sabzi! Seriously! You won't be disappointed!

I am so glad I found this place! Traveling while eating paleo is really difficult but this place made my life so much easier! All items are super fresh and their meat is grass fed which is super rare to find! If you want great healthy food be sure to stop by and grab some grub!!!

Love it, and highly recommend Simply Natural Cafe. The food is fantastic, I love their Sabzi although this dish is not for everyone I love it. All their food is great, nice selection of Organic Wines to pair your dinner, and it is the only "Organic" "Vegetarian" Restaurant that I could find that closes later that 6:00pm

The first time I went here I thought the guy behind the counter was rude..turns out he's just really relaxed...haha..the service used to be slow but it seems to have stepped it up a notch. The food is delicious..last time we were there we ordered the lamb chops...so yummy!
