A European favorite, EXKI makes its mark on American soil! EXKI known for their fresh locally sourced foods has just opened two locations in the United States, both locations are located in Manhattan. Urban Milan had the pleasure of trying out this fresh food chain, we visited their Madison Ave location on 76 Madison Ave, New York, NY.
EXKI's menu is derived from locally sourced ingredients which include fruits and vegetables from New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and beverages that are also locally sourced. Their menu items are made fresh daily and include sandwiches, wraps, salads, quiche, soups and desserts. They have numerous gluten-free and vegan options.
When dining, customers have the option of taking their food to go or dining in their restaurant. We would call their restaurant a healthy fast food. Their menu options include sandwiches- beef and chicken; salads such as Cesar revisited and quinoa chicken; vegetarian options like panzanella; green tea smoothies like the Amazon; soups which are vegan & gluten-free like butternut squash or carrot ginger which change daily; wraps that are made with local organic flower and whole wheat. With so many options it is very hard to select a meal! Our favorites from the menu included the Amazon smoothie (strawberry, kiwi and banana), chicken monsoon sandwich (Chicken, mushrooms, radish, bok choy, and cilantro), Tuscan garden salad (chicken, penne, kale, zucchini, tomatoes, artichoke, red peppers and basil) and their lemon olive cake!
EXKI has 78 locations across Europe in cities such as Brussels, Paris and Luxembourg. They have plans of expansion in the US and plan on opening sixteen more locations on the East Coast! For more information, visit: www.exki.com
