I had a high expectation of Cafe Kabila given its overall Yelp rating, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the food that I ordered. I got the Roast Salmon Salad ($10.50), which included ancho roasted salmon, granny smith apples, haas avocado, tomatoes, and sliced egg with sesame soy dressing over mixed greens. I also added roasted butternut squash, roasted Thai tofu, and caramelized shallot. I asked for the dressing on the side, but the dressing was mixed in with the salad. Beyond that, the salad was missing avocado. All the other ingredients were okay…the butternut squash and the tofu were a bit too overcooked that they tasted hard. The salmon was served as little bits and pieces rather than as a whole filet.
I additionally got the Vegan Split Pea Soup. The soup itself was warm and hearty, but the onion sourdough roll on the side tasted stale. The "Fat-Free" Pumpkin Apple Muffin certainly tasted fat free because it had no flavors at all. In fact, it tasted like laundry detergent…do not order it.

I have to keep with the four star reviews. Nice place, clean and neat, employees are fine. Food is displayed attractively. Guys at the office recommend the soups – so I finally stopped in today and got the Yemeni Chicken Soup – tasty, seasoning was very good, the broth was a little thin. I will try them again.
Not your typical NYC tossed salad, soup and sandwich cafe. This place is a bit of an upgrade. The food bar has some nice Mediterranean selections. The soup options are very creative, I noticed they had chicken curry and butternut squash just to name a few. I tried the turkey chili and the flavor rocked, but it was more like turkey vegetable brothy soup than chili. The sandwiches look great, my co-worker ordered one and liked it a lot. The salads are good too. They have a great bakery selections with flavored iced coffees. They also provide you with many sweetening options like agave syrup, brown and white sugar cubes, etc.
Overall a really nice lunch spot!
Excelllllent wraps, super friendly delivery guys, very fast service.
It tastes fresh, clean, and delicious. I had the tunisian tuna wrap with garlic aoili, roasted red peppers, arugula, sliced egg.. very, very good and worth the $8.50.
I am full without feeling it (if you understand the feeling).
$10 for an amazing wrap and fast delivery.. hell yes, I'll be ordering lunches here plenty.
I dropped in here to use an incredible free $7 credit through level up. I had no idea what to get as places like this give me anxiety. You get screamed at by 50 people at once to place your order.
I was in the mood for Thai, but since I was using my iphone while walking down the street at the same time like i was drunk I quickly ducked into this place. Since the deal was practically free lunch and I noticed they had a Thai meatball sandwich, I went with it. The meat ball was more like a gyro meat, and the sauce was not peanuty at all as advertised. I'm not sure what these flavors were, but they were no where near Thai. The hero was quite messy but edible though.
In the end the damage was $2.75 to my credit card after applying the $7 discount. But I would never pay almost $10 for that in real life. It's just not practical or worth it for that cafeteria style food they serve here.
This place is right across the street from my office and it's a Godsend. It's super clean and they have such a great selection from morning pastries to a really eclectic hot bar at lunch time. Prices are pretty reasonable and I've never had something I didn't enjoy. Just wish the machines to use my LEVEL UP app were working again!
