Calista Superfoods

The menu looked delicious, but 1:40 after placing our order for delivery, and 2 phone calls, we had to give up hope of getting to try it. We only live 0.2 miles away, so we couldn’t find an acceptable excuse for the poor service.

I don’t know what happened to this place. I have been a regular here for years, but it seems like since the previous manager left (I am assuming he was the manager because he was ALWAYS there), the quality has gone way down. I can understand prices going up sometimes (which they have) as long as the quality and consistency is there, but this is far from the case.
Last week I ordered the Calista salad, and the veggies were literally 90% onions, plus they gave me teriyaki sauce instead of salad dressing! My husband got the bison plate and complained it was half the size it usually is. Tonight I got the Greek salad and not only was it not mixed together like it normally is, the lettuce to topping ratio was way off and they used the wrong type of lettuce. Other things I have noticed is that the chicken is rubbery about ¹⁄₃ of the time, and the fresh spinach is often slimy. GET IT TOGETHER, CALISTA!
If you are looking for a good salad, I would now recommend Plenty (same price but way better quality).

Just wanted to update my review for Calista Superfoods. Josef, the owner of Calista, reached out to me and apologized for the mistake that was made. I was given a free meal, which was really nice of him. It pained me to give Calista a less than stellar rating, so I am glad that the issue was resolved. I have continued to order from them and have not had any problems since then.

As others have said, the Jalapeño Bison Cheesesteak wrap is decadent. I’m into whatever magic the Calista kitchen uses to conjure this up. Taste and size is not in-​line with what I would consider a «healthy» option. I’d even go as far to stay that it crushes a hearty portion of it’s calorie-​packed competition.
4-​stars since I haven’t explored the menu enough yet to write a well-​rounded review.

Worst service ever.
Order in since I’m home sick and all I wanted was soup and a smoothie. After an hour, I called to check in and see where it was and a very annoyed girl told me: yeah yeah it’s on its way.
After an hour and 20 min it arrives, they had forgotten items and made the «make your own» smoothie with like ice and one of the items of the three I had chosen. Which is just weird. Iced banana anyone?
Ugh.
So with my sore throat I call back. Annoyed girl answers sounding way put out that she has to answer a phone. I tell her what’s wrong and missing. She says: too bad. we’re closed. (Radio silence.)
So you can imagine how thrilled I am trying this place for the first time. This is their customer service and the way they conduct business/​make (or forget to make!) their food.
Pass.

Consistently good, healthy food! Friendly staff.
Try the Thai Peanut Salad, Asian Tofu Salad, the wraps, meals, power plates. and definitely the sweet potatoes! All consistently good. This is great meal post workout. Tastes good and you don’t have to feel guilty!

Killer bfast burrito egg and avacado. The bison burrito was dry but packed with meat, some salsa would have completed it. Very friendly staff. Would go again.

Only tried this place once, but that Jalapeño Bison Cheesesteak Wrap alone deserves 5-​stars. It feels indulgent, but it’ll save you a few hundred calories vs. a beef burrito from say, Chipotle. It was really satisfying and delicious. It was also VERY filling, so I kind of regretted getting the two-​sides option with it because I could barely touch the sides. They gave me a really tasty low-​fat honey mustard with my salad, and I opted for the roasted sweet potatoes which were good but made better after I popped them in my oven to crisp them up a bit.
Definitely will go back to get that wrap again.

Stellar zen tofu wrap. Warm and crisp, it compares to some of the best I’ve found in the city, on par with anything you can find downtown. A little pricey, yes, but worth it if you are in the mood for a quick bite (certainly the best tofu you’ll find in the surrounding area). Their protein bars are a must-​buy (although it contains yoghurt, vegans be aware.) whenever I stop by.

This place is downright bangin. It’s both healthy and tastes amazing at the same time. 5 stars no doubt

I give Calista 5 stars because I have never been disappointed. It’s a great place to get quality food that’s clean and healthy.
My favorite thing on the menu is probably the Chili Quinoa Meatloaf. It’s so delicious! My boyfriend loves the power plates and eats them after working out. Their breakfast egg white and bison wrap is also so good.
The food is reasonably priced, especially considering the quality and the portion sizes. The wraps with salmon have a great value.
The delivery men are always so nice and really speedy! Definitely try this place if you haven’t already!

Have ordered here a few times and never been disappointed! Love the salads, and the power plates are great after a work out. My boyfriend always orders the bison burger, it’s really good and tasty. Definitely recommend ordering from this place!
Ps they also give nutritional info (calorie counts) online which I always appreciate

I saw the sloppy joe wrap on the sidewalk menu and the description was enough to get me to come in. Sadly, it did not live up to its potential. The wrap was greasy and was served in a folded piece of paper on a tray (no plate). This left no good way to eat it: The paper wouldn’t tear to eat from the top down, and without the paper the wrap did not have enough structural integrity to stay together. In the end I ate it with a fork on the tray, which was a little gross.

I’m a trainer at Equinox and recommend this place to my clients, coworkers, friends and family. You can’t go wrong for a delicious and healthy meal for breakfast, lunch and/​or dinner. The power plates are all ideal post-​workout meals (and probably lunch the next day because the serving sizes are generous, to say the least) the smoothies and salads are all great and most of the items’ macronutrients are listed on the menu (despite not having to legally as only chains/​franchises are required to) and they’re super speedy with service and delivery. can’t go wrong. And if you need a good trainer, I know one

The spicy baja burger comes with jalapeños with guacamole on whole wheat bun. its simply the best burger I have tasted I love this place friendly staff clean spot to sit and eat very modern love this stop –!!!

As a certified health coach and personal trainer I highly recommend this place if you want to eat healthy on the go. I will often place orders for pick up while I’m walking out my door to the train. By the time arrive to Calista, it is ready. The employees are nice and they usually have free samples at the counter. I recommend the power plates. Today after my work out I tried the «build your own burrito». It was: chicken, avocado, mixed veggies, beans and a whole wheat tortilla. It was super tasty and filling and I didn’t even have to use the sauce that I asked for (on the side). I will order it again sometime. If you like my review please rate it and don’t be shy, send me a friend request! I need to read your reviews. Thanks –CJ (:

There is rarely a restaurant I come across in Manhattan that I will frequent multiple times. Calista Superfoods is one of those places.
Unfortunately, I order the same thing (Jalapeño Bison Cheesesteak) every time I am here so my review is very item specific. For about 400 calories, you can stretch the wrap to last you 2 meals. It’s made with diced bison (similar consistency to ground beef), loaded with jalapenos and some funky cheese wiz type sauce, all wrapped in a wheat tortilla. Maybe it’s the inner fat girl in me, but when I eat this I don’t feel skimped out of calories. It’s greasy, meaty, gooey, and most-​of-​all fresh. They also have a bison burger and some chicken and beef options I believe.
I also love that they have healthy drinks and healthy snack options. This place started my fascination with pop corners. At the checkout they have energy, protein brownies. I’ve always been tempted but I’ve never tried them. I’ve brought everyone from my friend with 8% body fat to my personal trainer here and everyone loves it almost as much as I do. The service is friendly, cheap and they deliver to the area!

I had chicken parm here along with brown rice & the garden salad. I like the rice & the salad (with balsamic vinegarette dressing) but I wasn’t a fan of the chicken part of the chicken parm. I don’t know, it just didn’t taste very good. The sauce & the cheese were at least respectable for NYC and them not being an Italian restaurant.
As another reviewer mentioned, there is no bathroom for customers. Isn’t that illegal? So make sure you don’t come here if you’re just trying to use a restroom. You should also know that this place is tiny so if you have a party greater than 2, you might want to go elsewhere. Good little lunch place, though.
The next time I eat here, I’m getting a custom made salad or wrap. They will also remove things if you ask.

After walking around Central Park during a visit to NYC, we came upon this place and decided to try it out since there were a bunch of healthy options.
FOOD — 3 Stars: We ordered:
— Cowboy — This had chicken breast, sweet potatoes, brown rice and chili soup.
— Iron Man — This also had chicken breast, brown rice and chili soup except this one was with spinach.
Everything was pretty good though the chicken was pretty bland. The brown rice was dry also. I was expecting more, but ate it because I was hungry.
ATMOSPHERE — 3 Stars: This place is pretty modern and bright… very minimalistic. Nothing too much to say about it. It was clean though which ALWAYS good. :)
SERVICE — 3 Stars: The service was good… they were nice enough to let us stare at the menu and decide. We asked them is this one better… is that one better… and they were cool to answer those questions.
RECOMMENDATION: This place was alright. Nothing to really write home about, but if you are craving a healthy option, then stop by… but I hope your food is flavorful or at least spicy to make it somewhat interesting.

You’re a health nut? This is the place for you!
Tried this place for the first time yesterday, order my salad and I must say I really enjoyed it. Came back again today and got another salad and it was still yummy.
You get 4 free toppings on your salad! And the salad is huge! Unlike hale & hearty, they’re large salad is really a small after they chop it.
Will definitely come back again to try their wraps and power plates! Can’t wait! Looking forward for that Tofu & Eggs wrap! Prices are reasonable, definitely on the cheaper side compared to other places in the area!
