about six years ago i tried inaka for the first time and fell in love with it’s healthy and flavorful food. their menu is macrobiotic and offers some fish dishes but is dairy free. i’ve tried several dishes at inaka and although i enjoyed everything i’ve tried the “inaka bowl” is absolutely my favorite.

inaka bowl: brown rice, today's bean, greens, root vegetables, sea vegetables and more. $11

the vegetables and beans that cover brown rice are often different but always amazing. this round came with kidney beans, kale, cabbage, lotus root, broccoli, carrots, seaweed, some kind of yummy gravy stuff, and other vegetables that i have no idea what they were but tasted damn delicious.

the food is a great value for the fresh and large dishes brought to you by an incredibly sweet staff. the bowl is $11 and i personally can make two meals out of it. if you have a larger appetite or just like left overs you can also get a bigger serving of the same meal on a plate for $15. another reason to love inaka is their side dish of garlic.

for $2 they’ll bring you a small dish of fresh minced garlic. if i could get a side of garlic at every restaurant i would! the restaurant is on the smaller side and can get really busy at night so i recommend making a reservation especially if you’re going on a weekend. another thing to be aware of is that they close mid day after lunch and before dinner. get yourself over to inaka and stuff your face with some delicious and healthy goodness!
