Move over Cava and Chipotle, there’s a new healthy fast-casual restaurant coming to Queens.
Bowl Bites, a vibrant new fast-casual restaurant set to open on Friday, February 28, is bringing a unique fusion of Caribbean flavors to the heart of Ozone Park at 102-16 Liberty Avenue.
Founded by three longtime friends from Queens, Amir Aldoais, Kevin Baksh, and Esteban Acosta, Bowl Bites is the result of their shared passion for health, fitness, and great-tasting food.
The trio, who often work out together at the Blink Fitness right next door, envisioned a place where people could grab a satisfying and nourishing meal without sacrificing flavor or convenience. “Our mission is to create a welcoming space where busy New Yorkers can enjoy delicious, well-balanced meals on the go,” said Baksh, one of the co-founders.
“We wanted to create a spot where people can eat clean, feel good, and still enjoy bold, exciting flavors,” said Aldoais, another co-founder. “Our menu combines the vibrant, earthy flavors of the Mediterranean with the bold, tropical spices of the Caribbean. It’s food that fuels your body while satisfying your taste buds.”
At Bowl Bites, customers can expect an array of handcrafted bowls, juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and sides made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Chef Michael Saroop designed the Bowl Bites menu to be nutritious yet indulgent, catering to a variety of dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and protein-packed options. Signature dishes include:
-
The Jerk Chicken Bowl – A fusion of Caribbean jerk chicken, rice, corn, onion, zesty mango salsa, and sour cream.
-
The Shrimp Bowl – A medley of Grilled shrimp, rice, corn, tomato, zesty mango salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
-
The Steak Bowl – A vibrant mix of Marinated Steak, beans, onions, corn, zesty mango salsa, and guacamole.
With a commitment to freshness, Bowl Bites “prepares everything in-house daily, ensuring that each bite is packed with authentic flavors and nourishing ingredients,” said Chef Saroop.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, refueling post-workout, or picking up dinner on the way home, Bowl Bites is designed to provide fast, healthy, and satisfying meals without compromise.
Bowl Bites is set to soft open on Monday, February 24th, offering Ozone Park residents an exclusive first taste of their menu. The official Grand Opening celebration is tentatively scheduled for Friday, February 28, where guests can expect special promotions, giveaways, and a chance to meet the founders.
“We’re beyond excited to share this experience with the community,” said Acosta. “We want Bowl Bites to be more than just a restaurant—it’s a lifestyle. Good food, good vibes, and good health, all in one place.”
With a fresh approach to fast-casual dining and a passion for real ingredients, Bowl Bites is ready to make waves in the local food scene.
