Amara comes from the word "Amaranth", which derives from the Greek word, ἀμάραντος (amárantos), meaning 'unfading'.

Amara Kitchen was founded in 2013 out of a love for healthy, yet delicious and casual food.   Food should taste and make you feel great. We believe that food is the key to health and that one diet does not suit all. We serve alternative takes on classic dishes, reinterpreting menus for all types of eaters from gluten free to vegan & paleo. We strive to source our ingredients as locally and organic as possible.
