    In a culinary landscape dominated by fast food and generic takeout options, Sidewalk Chef Kitchen emerges as a beacon of healthy, delicious, and meticulously crafted meals. As someone who regularly indulges in their takeout lunch service, I can attest to the exceptional quality and taste of their offerings. One of the standout features of Sidewalk Chef Kitchen is their expansive menu of 500-calorie meals. These dishes are a harmonious blend of flavor and nutrition, striking a perfect balance in macronutrients without compromising on taste. It's rare to find a place that so skillfully marries health-conscious eating with gourmet flavors. The staff's friendliness and professionalism are commendable. Chef Shashank Agtey, a culinary maestro and a consistent presence in the kitchen, takes the time to interact with customers, ensuring that every meal meets his high standards. The team's personal touch – remembering clients' names and favorite dishes – adds a layer of warmth to the dining experience. The ambience of Sidewalk Chef Kitchen is another highlight. Adorned with the Chef's accolades in both running and culinary arts, the space is vibrant and inspiring, making it more than just a place to eat but an environment to savor and appreciate. Unique to Sidewalk Chef Kitchen is the option to pre-order ready-made meals for freezing or refrigeration, a convenience for those with busy lifestyles. The customization option for bulk orders is a testament to their commitment to catering to individual dietary preferences and needs. In comparison to other health-focused eateries in the area, Sidewalk Chef Kitchen stands out for its dedication to quality and taste. Their integration with Toast for takeout orders and a rewards system only enhances the customer experience, offering both convenience and value. The Fresh Express menu deserves a special mention for always being a reliable, quick, and delicious option for those in a hurry. The consistency in the quality of their food is noteworthy. Without hesitation, I give Sidewalk Chef Kitchen a well-deserved five stars. For anyone seeking a healthy, flavorful, and satisfying meal experience, this is a must-visit destination. It's a culinary gem that exemplifies how fast, convenient food can also be wholesome and gourmet.

    Extremely well seasoned and very flavorful food. I got the eggplant sandwich with soup combo and was quite empresses with the size of my sandwich. Vegan chili was very flavorful as well. Got Togo and it was very quick.

    Smells great upon entering. Friendly people. Interesting decor. Nice music at a pleasing volume. Food was delicious. Glad to find a restaurant with many organic ingredients. Will be back and try new meals. This visit I had an interesting spinach salad and my partner had a Salmon sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Yummy.

    Wow!! the mushroom bisque soup! Scrumptious & non-dairy. Plus, roasted vegetables & seasoned eggplant. Really welcoming owners & staff. Outdoor seating, large open immaculate indoors. A little circuitous to find but worth it. Been here 5 Years!

    Fresh, light, and very tasty. I loved the bison burger with cheese on ciabatta. Great decor and atmosphere. Staff is friendly and helpful. This would have been a five star review but we felt a little uncomfortable being asked directly, multiple times, to leave a great review. I understand how important reviews are, but it left us talking about how awkward we felt as we drove back to the office.

    Stopped by for lunch at this spot with my favorite person. Most certainly a hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance is very homey, Bri our waitress was amazing she has a great personality, charming, charismatic and very funny. We were able to do food tasting prior to ordering which is very different and unique. We ordered veggie soup, salmon, yellow rice and eggplant, my person ordered same salmon with white rice and spinach. The ice teas were delicious as well! If you are in the area it’s a must for breakfast and lunch! We recommend you to go have your own experience and thank me later 😊

    First visit to Sidewalk Chef Kitchen and will definitely not be the last. You can dine in or take your meal(s) home & heat. I chose the Deconstructed Turkey Shepherds Pie. Crisp veggies, moist turkey, and mash n gravy = DELICIOUSNESS!! Tastes like pure comfort food without the guilt. I brought a meal home for my husband; Grass Fed Bison Meatballs over spaghetti squash w/marinara (gone before I could get a pic). Already planning what to get on the next visit. Maybe a few extra too, since u can freeze for up to 6 months.

    This nondescript gem is tucked in a commercial strip mall. You'll never find it so use your Google. It's nicely CDC/Covid compliant. Clean & well maintained. Parking is sparse but there aren't that many tables. When you walk in you're gonna be struck with a most excellent smell. It's a mixture of everything goodness from your childhood memories. Nice lunch specials with many options, all delicious. Fresh ingredients combined in healthy ways will do your body good. Friendly serve staff about wraps it up.

    Where do I begin? I have now come to this restaurant three separate times and I have to say, I was not disappointed on any of my visits. Bree helped me out to decide what I wanted to order when I first checked out this restaurant and she was so helpful. Bree let me try the soups and chili so I could figure out what I was feeling or craving, and gave me so many options to choose from. The food each time was really fresh and delicious, and to top it off there are so many healthy options you would not believe it because of how flavorful the food is. Chef Shashank has curated many delicious recipes, I am excited to try more from this restaurant.

    Today was our first of many visits to come. We were greeted by Bri, who is far more than a waitress. Her personality made you right at home. The food was outstanding. My chicken salad is the best I have ever had. My husband had salmon and he said it was delicious. The owners were so kind and welcoming. I love it when the chef comes out and he is smiling....In a world of hurry up attitude, we definitely felt welcome and received as guests. Thanks again ,we will be back!

    So I ordered meatloaf but sadly had no idea it was impossible meat, as it just said meatloaf on the online menu. Distinct taste of soy and curry and I only noticed it until I tasted it, but the veggies and mash potatoes were really good. A little expensive too wish I had known I would definetly like to try something else 😢

    If you want healthy yet very tasty food, this is the place!!! Absolutely everything tastes delicious here!! Best part, they offer meal prep menus so you can take the taste home as well. Highly recommend!!

    A good friend turned me onto this place, and I’m so happy that they did. When I got to the restaurant, I was greeted by Shashank, the owner and the head server, Breana Winston. From that moment on it was pure delight. The head server, Bree, took me for a tour of the food that was available that day, and how it was prepared and the aromas that were coming out of their steamers was incredible. The atmosphere was very comfortable and very clean and well set up. Breana took my order after taking me through the food that was available, making some fantastic suggestions, and I finally settled on the salmon special of the day. I can only say that everything the salmon, the vegetables, the salad were absolutely incredible and beyond belief. This is definitely a diamond in a rough and if you want food that just scintillates your mouth and your taste buds you’ve got to get there sooner than later. I will definitely be a regular and thank you to Shashank and Breana for giving me a fantastic experience. James

  • 5/5 Jon M. 1 year ago on Google
    A young woman stopped me on the street and offered me Sidewalk Chef Kitchen menus and a baked treat. I was apprehensive, but they looked beautiful. Between cookies and a macaroon, I chose the gluten-free choco chip coconut macaroon. It was delicious and I at the entire thing. I hope I don't die from accepting food from a stranger, but at least I'll die having eaten something really tasty (not pictured: the already-eaten macaroon).

    The food is sooo Fresh and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Healthy food under $15 where do you get that these days??? My new fav spot

  • 5/5 Wendy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Chef Shashank and his staff catered a beautiful bridal shower brunch for us! The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable! We highly recommend Sidewalk Chef Kitchen for all of your catering!

  • 5/5 Daniel F. 9 months ago on Google
    Last week was the first time I ate here, and I’m very happy I did. Was greeted very nicely and taken care of well. On top of that the food is extremely healthy and freshly made. Exactly what I was looking for.

  • 5/5 Asil K. 9 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is a hidden gem. If you are looking for healthy meals look no further. They have clean, tasty and affordable food options. The staff is extremely friendly; Brie is always smiling and Chef Shashank is very welcoming and kind. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Adrianne M. 1 year ago on Google
    The Fresh Express is a great option for lunch during a busy day. Chef creates new lunch specials everyday and they are hot and ready for a quick in and out. You also have the option to order off of the menu if you have time.

  • 5/5 Jenny d. 1 year ago on Google
    Food here is amazing ... always fresh and healthy. I've eaten in, ordered take out and done their prep meals and every dish from their egg salad to their chili to chicken w/ rice to impossible burger etc. has been delicious. I was surprised that their prepped meals were only 500 (+/-) calories and some I had to divide into 2 meals. Secret is the healthy ingredients minus the additives that keep the calorie count low. I highly recommend and they also offer office / events catering!

  • 5/5 Jeanne R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a bit off the beaten path but well worth a lunchtime visit. The minute you walk through the door the atmosphere is light and cheerful, and the aroma is warmly enticing! If you’re looking for healthy and clean food that is also delicious, you’ll not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Samuel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Chef Shashank is fantastic! The food is healthy, delicious, and energizing. The Cafe itself is a chill spot to break up the day and grab lunch during work. Teresa and Nathan are also super helpful. Favorite spot in the area, no doubt.

  • 5/5 Matthew B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh, wholesome, delicious! Chef Shashank cooks the best food in the area. He also is very warm and friendly. I wish the restaurant was open later and on the weekends, but it's still a great place for lunch.

  • 5/5 Joel T. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed the turkey meatballs in a fresh mushroom sauce. It was served with carrot and ginger soup, sautéed garlic spinach and the BEST cornbread bake. Delicious!! Open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11AM to 4PM. All freshly made meals. Even though they offer meats, they have a number of vegan and vegetarian choices. Well run restaurant with great service. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Heath J. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to eat here 3 times a week. Food is always fresh and healthy. Portions are a very good size and everything tastes great. I get the daily fresh express. I moved away but I still come back every week or so. I can't stay away from this place. Chef Shashank and co-owner Barbara are amazing. They make you feel like family. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Natalie B. 1 year ago on Google
    So thankful that this spot is just a few blocks away from my office! I tried the vegetable plate and it was phenomenal! So tasty and so healthy! Ordered lunch for takeout and it was so easy to use their online ordering platform. My lunch was prepared quickly and the pickup was super easy. I was surprised at how speedily my meal was prepped since the restaurant was packed! Very friendly staff! I will definitely order again soon!

    I love discovering hole-in-the-wall places. The chef at this cafe is very creative and the selection of healthy choices will leave you wanting more

  • 5/5 Joao M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and service with a very fair price.

  • 5/5 Jane M. 5 years ago on Google
    Eclectic menu of vegan and non-vegan comfort food. Comfortable dine-in space and really good service. A real find hidden away in an industrial park off McNab Rd. Really enjoyed the Impossible Burger prepared as Shepherds Pie, served with fresh veggies and mashed potatoes. They are open till 5 on weekdays only. Takeout and delivery available.

  • 5/5 Teddy G. 2 years ago on Google
    My coworker picked up lunch today, I had the Turkey meatloaf. So tasty and the potatoes and broccoli so fresh I'll be back!!

  • 5/5 Marilyn D. 2 years ago on Google
    Upbeat atmosphere, The Sidewalk Chef FEELS fresh when you walk in. Excellent healthy food, from bison to vegan--interesting spices that give everything a special taste--friendly service--it all keeps me coming back for more! And did I mention the macaroons?! The Chef has it ALL going on!

  • 5/5 Monica S. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    We had Sidewalk Chef cater a family dinner and they did an outstanding job. They took the time to go over the meal options for everyone to also include several vegan options. The food was ready as promised with clear instructions of how to warm the food prior to serving. Not only was everything exceptionally prepared, but the food itself was beyond tasty! Everyone could not quit commenting on how wonderful each and every item was and many of them even had second servings. The staff and owners at Sidewalk Chef are beyond helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend Sidewalk Chef to anyone whether it be for a dining out experience or catering event for either a small or large gathering!
