Kitava – San Francisco

Kitava was created to help people lead healthy and enjoyable lives.

We believe real, nourishing food is the foundation for living a life filled with purpose and passion, and recognize people can only give their best to the world if they are healthy themselves. This is why we make nourishing food using whole ingredients from responsible farmers and vendors, served through welcoming and craveable meals that are approachable enough for everyone to enjoy.

Our goal is to make real food more accessible, so everyone has the opportunity to become the best version of themselves and truly enjoy life.

Thank you for making Kitava a part of your day. We can’t wait to serve you!

Bryan & Jeff, Co-Founders

Kitava is a clean casual restaurant that serves real food everyone can enjoy.

Our menu features comforting meals for any diet using nutritious veggies, mindful meat, and healthy fats.

Kitava dishes are delicious by design and healthy by default. Our food is hearty and satisfying, made with real ingredients that just taste better. We never use unhealthy seed oils, refined sugars, chemicals, or artificial preservatives in our cooking, and avoid common allergens such as gluten, dairy, peanuts, and soy. This makes our menu friendly for special diets, as well as those looking for relatable food that tastes great and makes you feel good.

The health-promoting ingredients we use are consciously sourced from trustworthy vendors, with a heavy emphasis on supporting local, sustainable, and regenerative practices. We provide full transparency into the ingredients and sourcing for every dish, so you always know what you’re eating and where it comes from.

We envision a food system that supports healthy people and communities by default, and believe we shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying a great meal, supporting good health, and doing what’s right for the world.
