Moku Roots

Top choice in Lahaina


This small but snazzy vegan restaurant is garnering kudos across Maui. With a commitment to zero waste, evidenced by cloth napkins and no single-use items, Moku Roots describes itself as farm-to-table-to-farm, with leftovers used as farm compost. Beyond sustainability, the appeal lies in the fantastic food, from the popular taro burger to the enormous vegan Cobb salad, our favorite.
