Ordered for delivery. Got the tofu burger salad. Very bland, and lacking any flavor. Rice was almost inedibly uncooked. “Tahini dressing” is a long stretch. It was abot 90% water / filler and 10% tahini.

I have been going to the like for years and years. It was amazing, but since the new ownership a couple years ago it has not been the same. The portions are not what they used to be (I needed to order extra chicken for the blackened chicken wrap just to get the same amount as it should have). You shouldn’t have bought the restaurant if you have to cut corners and compromise the integrity of the food. The rice used to be amazing - now it’s just regular rice and mine today was barely cooked. They used to give out a good amount of zucchini bread and it was amazing. Now you have to ask for it. This is what made me, and so many others love the lime. I keep giving it one more chance but don’t think I can after my lunch today. To the owner - Please restore what the restaurant was when you took it over!!

Wow!! Just had a quick lunch and what a pleasant surprise. My husband and I had the Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad and it was delicious. Perfectly grilled and seasoned chicken over spring greens with blue cheese, julienned yellow and red peppers and perfectly ripe avocado. The vinegarette was spectacular - had to be house made. And the side of rice was so different...a lime dressing?? Slice of cantaloupe completed our perfect lunch!! Service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. You must try The Lime Restaurant.

Had a very wonderful visit here! Plenty of vegan options and all of the ones I was able to try were fantastic. Also, the restaurant is so adorable inside!! Server was great!
Been coming here since I was a kid. Everything is always deliciousParking: You will have to park on the street but at certain times it’s freeKid-friendliness: Yes
Everything was severely underwhelming except the cran-apple juice. Falafel, tofu burger and the chicken pita wrap were simply awful. My son ate the falafel and everything else we just left on the table. I complained about the chicken pita wrap being so dry. Photo of my single bite for reference. What's worse is that our server offered no solution. He Just brought the full check. I tipped him because he's not cooking this food and i'm not a j**** Will never come here again, ever.

The owner of this business is super nasty, His attitude is ridiculous and they treat workers as slaves. He screams at them and make them feel useless. He is a short older man bold headed looking. I feel so bad for his employees. After seeing this i would never go back to this place, he doesnt care about costumers service or his employees. I tired to help and he started screaming at me told me “to mind my business”. This place needs a new manager or owner who ever he is.
The food at The Lime is delicious. Not a single dish i wouldn't recommend.

BEWARE. The quality of the restaurant has gone down tremendously. I have been coming here for 20 years and it has always been my favorite restaurant in Norwalk when wanting to eat healthy. I've loved it so much that I ignored the dropping quality.The portions have been reduced greatly to where the salads I once couldn't finish are now leaving me needing another entire meal. (Picture of salad underneath the veggie burger, a handful of salad)The final straw was recently trying to use a gift certificate purchased there and the "manager" said he can not accept it because they "do not have that ticket book anymore." I see from previous reviews that he has done this to at least 2 other people. This is ILLEGAL in CT, gift cards and gift certificates DO NOT LOSE VALUE expire!I told the manager I wanted to speak with the owner and he said he did not think it was necessary. Horrible customer service!Sad to say that my Lime days are over. I don't believe they will be open much longer with the current management.

While the place is clean and looks quite nice , the service could have been better as no one was asked about their allergies before being served and this led someone in our group having to have an allergic reaction the day we were served.Its as if the chef didn't clean his area. When it comes to the food, it felt pre-packaged the nachos with chili were as if you took store-bought chips and served them.

Wow. So disappointed. Order arrived ice cold. Meal didn’t match menu description. Rice was STALE. Like inedible. Chicken was ice cold. Barely any lettuce for a “salad”.
