There are six base options (featured above) to combine with fourteen different dips and spreads. From the vibrant red spicy harissa is this capitalized? to the Crazy Feta and their classic version of a creamy hummus, the dipping is endless. Adding super greens or arugula to your rice bowl makes for a great flavor and creates a more substantial meal. With various different kinds of proteins like chicken, falafel and spicy lamb meatballs, your bowl will never get old. Check out the full menu here.
