SoLuna Eats, a vibrant culinary experience offering a healthy twist on Afro-Caribbean cuisine, is set to open in Phoenix at 1325 Grand Avenue, Suite 6.

The restaurant is expected to open in August 2025 inside the Desert Sun Plaza, according to a recent liquor license application. The space is currently under construction, with completion anticipated by early next month. Once open, SoLuna Eats will offer a variety of Caribbean-inspired dishes, along with vegetarian and vegan options, in a casual and welcoming setting.

“SoLuna Eats is a vibrant culinary experience offering a healthy twist on Caribbean cuisine,” according to a description from the company. “Our mission is to celebrate the rich, bold flavors of the Caribbean while providing fresh, nutritious, and wholesome food options. From flavorful plant-based dishes to freshly pressed juices and nutrient-packed meals, SoLuna Eats caters to health-conscious food lovers seeking authentic taste without compromise. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking for healthier alternatives, SoLuna Eats delivers island-inspired nourishment that feeds the body and soul.”

The restaurant’s location along the Grand Avenue arts corridor places it in a thriving area known for its creative energy, walkability, and diverse dining scene. With its mission rooted in health and cultural flavor, SoLuna Eats aims to be a natural fit for the neighborhood, offering something fresh and distinctive to both locals and visitors.

The Desert Sun Plaza, which houses a mix of small businesses, art studios, and local vendors, provides an ideal environment for SoLuna Eats to introduce its vibrant, health-conscious approach to traditional island fare. The space will include recessed lighting, an exhaust fan, and a 40-gallon water heater. A small patio area, located within 30 feet of the suite entrance, will offer additional seating; however, it will not be fenced. The restaurant will serve beer and liquor exclusively in cans and bottles.
