I had a wonderful time at RakSa wellness center in Culver City. I initially went to support Luscious Organic Desserts, but once I met Apinya, the founder, I fell in the love with the entire place. Her mission is clear - to give people a chance to find their inner selves. RakSa is almost entirely eco-friendly, and the cafe is mostly vegan. I really look forward to going back and doing yoga there.


I enjoyed:
  • Butternut & Roasted Vegetable Soup
  • Cold Soba Noodles
  • Roasted Vegetables
  • Brocolli with Roasted Garlic
  • Beets & Fennel
  • Dosha "Air" bar
  • Green tea

Taste: 7/10
Unique menu & flavors: no, except for the Dosha
My favorite dish: Cold Soba Noodles
Organic: yes
Fair-trade: I believe the tea is
Local: whenever available
Healthy: yes
Eco-Friendly: yes
Portion Sizes: medium
Price: Inexpensive
Customer service: very attentive and nice
Atmosphere: relaxing, peaceful, quiet
Location: great part of Culver City, close to freeways

I apologize that parts of the interview go out of focus - so much for auto focus!
