Buddha Bowls - Goleta

Service is good! Place has good mood. Outdoor seating is cool during the summer. I like this place only for its unique kitchen style - this is the bread bowl. I ordered the farmers veggie sourdough bread bowl with Jackfruit. It's whole protein pack food. Page mint sauce give a good blow of taste . A bread dish was so full for a person. I made it to go and had the left on the same day evening, it tasted good.

Eating was... We built our own Mac paddy, and we both agreed it was solid. The bread was beautiful and tasty and the Mac was also quite delicious. A bit pricy for IV food, but it is worth sharing it between two people. Probably not enough food between two people eating a lot,

Great food. We had the loaded potato, the og and the cat. All three super good (last has medium heat) filling and bread bowl is amazing, crispy outside and soft interior. Basil lemonade and passion fruit sweet tea are also delicious and recommended. I wish we had this at home!

The picture doesn't do justice. That was really fresh and good. Mac n cheese bread dish

During a family weekend at UCSB, I brought both my girls here for lunch on the recommendation of my Gaucho. It’s a small local place in IV and it was perfect. Something for each of us. My oldest had their Mac Daddy, my youngest had a bowl of Mac and Cheese and I made my own. I like the idea of the pasta dish in a bread bowl, it’s creative and reminds me of the Mac and Cheese Bowls at Paradise Pier in Disney’s California Adventure Park. However, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got my bowl. I chose the pesto sauce, and not being here before, didn’t realize that all the bowls come with pasta/mac and cheese. I added chicken, onions and mushrooms, topped with cheese. It was toasted and then brought to our table. It looked amazing! It was great, however as I got further down into the bowl, there was a lot of water making the bread bowl quite soggy and I didn’t end up finishing it. I think if I go back in the future, I will ask for less or no pasta as I really was looking forward to enjoying the whole thing, break and all as the garlic butter they use to toast it with is darn good! I hope that when we go back to visit my Gaucho, we will be back and bring her dad too! In all it was good, I just don’t like when my food gets soggy, I could be picky but wasn’t a fan of that part.
