This is probably my toughest review so far and I am both divided and fond at the same time. Do a little evil to have to put such low scores...
Have been waiting to go here then I wanted to collect as many tips as possible about what I would test and after they scooped "this year's Casual" the other day I could no longer keep myself from there. Firstly, the room is way too stripped for my taste, I got a little bit of panic as soon as I stepped in when I saw that it was stuffed with people and the sound volume high. There were no soft materials that could take up the sound and I got the impression that the room "wanted me to put me there and go as soon as I could". But, I chose to max out my music, shut me out from the outside world and put me in their downstairs while waiting for the food.
Sick fast service and they really lived up to the "fast food" concept and nice were them too. Impressive to keep your head high with that press. As for prices, it keeps the Stockholm standard and you have to pay around 120-150kr for a lunch, like this in retrospect, I think it is fair considering how measured I was. The concept is exciting with international-touch and if you are hungry for Swedish Husman, this is not the place for you. Frikadeller, salads, curry, superfoods such as quinoa, kale, nuts and almost everything topped with parmesan.
I chose their "Farm" (129KR) consisting of Nötfrikadell, tomato sauce, black husked rice, kale, parmesan, walnut and some beetroot and a piece of artichoke. Frikadellerna, magically soft and melted in the mouth and perfect for the tart tomato sauce. Råriset had some white cream in itself and pulp Parmesan and at first it tasted good (maybe it was the temperature?) but grew in the mouth after a while and I was feeling sick of just the thought of eating more. The remaining components on the plate did not lift or lower the The dish, the VA neat but no more is so. The overall impression, and to tie it to "fond", is that it was a fun and different way to eat this type of food on and I understand why they won for just casual. Usually hälsomat tend to be more clean, boring and unilateral but they have really taken it to a new level and I love it. But I'm not completely sold... Maybe it was my expectations that were too high or my bad feeling over law. At the moment I put a 3rd to soon come back and try their salad that looked deliiiish out. Returns!
* Updated 14/02/19 Brought their kale salad with shrimp 135kr at lunch today. And I remain at my 3rd... Had hoped to raise the grade when they were praised but I am not saved. Absolutely, it tasted good but was way too little food for that money and I was still hungry when I was done. Very creamy, good with the nuts but not much more than that. Were to be potatoes with, almost non-existent. Still think it's worth to try, maybe I have exorbitant requirements haha but this is my category, I know how I want my fresh and green.

I know a lot of people love this place, but I'm not saved at all? It's absolutely good, but I don't think it's that special. Ate here for the first time two years ago, then took the frikadells. Can't review that dish well because it was so long ago. But then I thought it was good, but was not overly impressed. Good juices though I remember!
Since this place has been celebrated so much, I have wanted to go back to try another dish, which I did the other week. Unfortunately, I felt the same way: good, but I am not overly impressed. Rather, maybe a little worse? This time I ate their Ceasar salad on which they made their own kale interpretation. The first bites were good, but got tired pretty quickly anyway? However, a plus for a large salad, I had to leave a lot. This is partly because of measured, but also because I was saddened by the taste in the end. And then I'm still a fan of both Caesar and kale.
As for the room, it's pretty stripped down. Impersonal, but fresh. You order at the counter and then get delivered to the table. If you are in the hooks and are in the mood for a fresh lunch: absolutely! But to come here just to test the place, then you might be disappointed. At least me!

Nja ingen höjdare. Hade förväntat mig wow då alla pratat om detta ställe. Åt en helt vanlig sallad med räkor men kände inte att jag direkt njöt. Finns bättre ställen. Lokalen va lite kall i min smak och utstrålade inget speciellt .
Nu har jag varit på Kale & Crave två gånger och provat både sallad och varmrätt. Jag gillar egentligen inte sån här supernyttig mat(streetfood ❤️), men deras caesar är faktiskt bra! Det är även en av få sallader som jag faktiskt blir mätt på. Sen har vi varmrätten "Farm" – nötfrikadell med grönkål, typ. Här blev jag inte alls mätt, tomatsåsen och köttet var rätt trist. Blir bara sallad nästa gång. Ett gäng tavlor eller såna där kuddar på väggarna som studior har skulle behövas. Ljudnivån var rätt jobbig, och då var det inte ens fullsatt. Störde mig nästan på min egna röst.

Det var den minsta och dyraste sallad jag någonsin fått! Beställer man veganskt så behöver salladen vara lite större eftersom man väljer bort kött. Kommer aldrig gå dit igen tyvärr!
Dom server köttbullar som är halvblodiga när jag bad om att få köttet well done blev jag bemött av jätte dålig attityd från kökspersonalen som vägrade stecka på köttet mer, jag lämnade då restaurangen utan att äta min mat som jag betalade för. Jag tycker som betalande kund ska jag själv kunna välja hur jag vill ha mitt kött.
