What a cute little find! I was looking for a good place to get a rice bowl, this place had one person filling orders. It took a little bit of time to get the food made BUT it was all freshly made in front of me. She let me know the salads are faster than the rice bowls. If you are in a hurry (I was not), just order for a pick up. The bowl was delicious too and came with a bunch of different homemade sauces!

Where do I even begin? Alpa is an amazing person. She is very down to earth and passionate about her business ventures. It shows in Eats Meets West Bowls - the perfect fusion of healthy, many plant based ingredients with the immersion of Indian flavors. I loved it! The vibe is very homely and it felt super nice to talk to Alpa while she cheffed up my meal!

I didn't know what to expect stepping into East Meets West Bowls -- but the name matches the menu to a T! Alpa is a fantastic host, providing great service. The restaurant space is very homey, and truthfully, I initially felt off like I had stepped into someone's living room. But Alpa's friendliness matches the atmosphere. Give this spot a chance for lunch!

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.

The owner is so kind, and clearly loves what she has created! The vibe is unique, as the tables are in the kitchen. The food was so flavorful, and the turmeric cooler and ginger lemonade were absolutely divine. We will definitely go back!

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.

Eats Meets West has moved to a much more convenient location in Downtown Redwood City. The food is so good, and healthy! My partner and I both have different food allergies, here we can customize our bowls to eat however we're feeling. I usually choose the creamy sauces and add all the gluten free crunchy toppings for my brown rice and salad bowl, plus it's so cute in the heart shaped bowls!
