who we are
In March 2022, Marc and Cristinela Ancuta, a dynamic pair of globetrotters and proud owners of a Canadian Travel Tour Operator, decided to embark on a unique adventure by taking over a charming little restaurant named Kaia Bowls.
Drawing inspiration from their extensive travels and recognizing the untapped potential for growth, the Ancutas envisioned a metamorphosis for Kaia Bowls, transforming it into a haven for a fresh and healthy dining experience. Their passion for culinary delights and a steadfast commitment to healthy living fueled this vision, drawing in not just Marc and Cristinela but also their adult children, creating a family-driven force for change.
Under the guidance of the Ancutas and the expertise of Master Chef Lorenzo Burger from Europe, the Superfood poke bowls underwent a rejuvenation. Offering a healthy balance with salmon, shrimp, tuna, chicken, or vegan alternatives, each dish became a testament to the family’s dedication to providing a wholesome alternative eating experience. Ginger, garlic, onions, limes, and lemons were expertly woven into the recipes, creating a rich tapestry of flavors that delighted the senses.
Undeterred in their pursuit of culinary excellence, the Ancutas set their sights on expanding the sweet menu, introducing a plethora of choices from globally renowned Acai and Pitaya bowls to homemade bases, all meticulously chosen with no added sugar. This expansion aimed to satisfy not just hunger but the sweet cravings of their patrons, ensuring a well-rounded dining experience.
With a resolute vision to change the way people eat—providing a trifecta of health, deliciousness, and convenience—Kaia Bowls emerged as a beacon of wholesome dining. The Ancutas knew one thing for certain: once someone tasted the perfection of an Acai Bowl, there was no turning back. Their rallying cry became clear: “Ride the Healthy Wave!”
Welcome to Kaia Bowls, where every meal promises not just sustenance but a positive and significant impact on health and well-being.
