Ahra Kitchen
3.5 / 5 (19 reviews)

Description

Nestled in an office district with a lovely view, this lunchtime gem serves fresh, affordable sandwiches, salads and vibrant smoothies, earning praise for friendly, fast service and a clean space. Creative melts and homemade dressings stand out, but busy, chaotic ordering and frequent customization errors mar the rush-hour experience. Quality can be inconsistent — occasional spoiled packaged items and an underwhelming burger — and posted hours aren’t always honored. Ideal for quick breakfasts and office lunches, but temper expectations for precision and late-afternoon availability.

I absolutely enjoyed the food! I dined there last week and tried the Chipotle Chicken Melt, which I absolutely loved. The service was excellent, even though the line was quite long. Overall, the food was outstanding, and I would definitely return!

I visited Ahra this afternoon with my friends and ordered the Chipotle Grilled Chicken melt. Wow!!! I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of the sandwich; it was delicious. This is my second time here, and I will definitely try other items on my next visit. Thank you so much for the delicious food and excellent service!

The food is decent, comparable to any average sandwich shop. However, their posted hours on the front door indicate they should be open until 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday. Unfortunately, I’ve often arrived between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, only to find them already closed. That’s quite disappointing.

I visited this location on 11/08 around 10AM. This place is a hidden gem I wish they had longer hours! The gentleman who took my order was very friendly. I ordered a egg, cheese, and turkey bacon on a bagel and it was delicious! I will most definitely be returning.The menu offers a variety of breakfast options and lunch sandwiches (hot and cold). Items are priced very well and the restaurant is very clean!

I was extremely happy to find this place until it disappointed. 1. Food/ready to eat itemsBagel was fine. But several chocolate I got were all gone bad even though the best before date hadn't passed, so the handling must have been poor. When I spent $15 on chocolate, I do get irritated when they all taste funny and look weird where sugar had separated and created white spots. 2. Service was very nice 3. Location/Parking amazing. Beautiful view. Parking is hard unless you work in the nearby buildings. I wish the quality of products they had were better. I would have loved this place considering its convenient location.
