50 Best Salad Restaurants near Alameda

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“I was very excited because I went on Tuesday and the girl was very kind and her service was nice and the food was very delicious, and today I went back again but the owner of the place is a little rude and unfriendly: but the taste of the food is delicious“

“Im not a salad guy, but my wife loves salad.

Picked up a salad today from Green and Grains and boy was I surprised at the portion! 1 salad was enough for my wife and myself; with leftovers for later!

Got to speak to Ian for a little bit and was surprised that all the ingredient are organic and locally sourced. Including the pickled onions being made in house!

For a guy who doesn’t eat salads, I would say the Asian chicken was the best salad I’ve ever had!

Going to try their sandwiches on the next visit!

“Perfect every time we go! 👍“

“Amazing! Food drinks and views“

“Good food, friendly server.“

“Great place to eat…! And to have family and friends reunions…!“

“Favorite place to grab a slice!!“

“Mac and cheese and tender“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. The food was very fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality. The braised lamb sandwich had soft flatbread, crunchy herbs and vegetables, a tangy sauce, and perfectly tender lamb. The service was friendly, warm, and the food came out quickly. Fava is a lovely lunch spot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant lunch in North Berkeley.“

“Was really sad to see my favorite unique + quality brunch spot in the bay change format to being fast casual. It was such an easy brunch pick to take out of towners or friends to.

Now instead, they've become easily one of the best fast-casual food in the bay. So I really can't complain. I guess their format changed worked because I've eaten here more often than when they were full service. The value for the money you get here is pretty nuts. Still just as good ingredients & just as good preparation, all at a more approachable price point & form factor. What really gets me is I'm truly getting restaurant quality cooking for a unique cuisine I don't see very often, just a version that works better to-go. When you compare to some of the other casual lunch/dinner places in the area that have a similar format, it's really no competition. You'd be hard pressed to find a better way to spend $20-30/pp. I also love that they kept some of my favorite guilty pleasures from when they were a full service restaurant, like the knafe pancake.

Their in-house online ordering system is pretty slick and a good deal too. Works just as well as doordash without any of the bloated prices. Wouldn't mind seeing this spread around to more restaurants.“

“There is only one Chef Anja in this world, and Berkeley is lucky to have her. The food speaks for itself. Everything is incredible. 10/10 food, drinks, atmosphere, and all the homemade goods. She is also very nice. When I need some real food, I go to Anja's. Danke Chef -Arman“

“The food is SO GOOD and also extremely healthy! Very rare to find. Good price options for anyone. Click on their website to see the daily menu, then you can doordash if you don’t live nearby. You know what you have to do. Time to place an order! (Get. the. momos)“

“Honestly one of the best pizza crusts I've ever had. I had the focaccia spring special pizza - with squash blossoms and burrata. The Pear Basil Gimlet is one of the best mocktails I've ever had. The brussels are dark brown and crispy and melty. Plus - LOTS of gluten free options!

I rarely have a meal where every single part of it is delicious. This place is a treat, I'd highly recommend it.“

“I was there yesterday and had the Killer BLAT I didn't know if I would like it but turns out I loved it and I will return it was so good. It's a great place that you have to try.“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“The BEST meal! We absolutely love this place. Every dish we’ve tried has been fabulous. Definitely start with the mixed place to try a bit of many appetizers. And the Khan Plov is so so good. I had never had Azerbaijani food but this is our new go-to with guests or for a date night in Oakland.“

“​This was my second time dining here, and it completely solidified this restaurant as one of my absolute favorites. I would easily eat here every single week if I lived closer!
​During this visit, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with the owner. She is incredibly smart, passionate, and empathetic, and it truly shows in every aspect of the restaurant. I love the way she pours her love for her hometown into the menu and remains unapologetically authentic to her roots.
​That dedication translates perfectly into the food—every dish feels personal, deeply flavorful, and genuinely authentic. It is rare to find a place that hits the perfect balance of amazing hospitality and outstanding, uncompromising regional flavors.
​If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. It is a true gem!“

“Absolutely the best Ethiopian food in the area. The ladies who take and prepare the orders are very polite and helpful. They sell the vegetarian half and full orders as well as coffee and some sweets. Authentic and delicious.“

“Food was very good! We got the achari paneer pizza twist, the plant based Manchurian pizza twist, and an achari paneer quesadilla (they gave us this for free)! Everything was really flavorful, everyone was very nice and accommodating of our large group. Highly recommend!“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“The food was good, but there was a significant delay with my Snackpass pickup. My order number was incorrectly labeled, causing the food to sit on the counter for over 20 minutes until I spoke up about not receiving my food three separate times. No compensation, just an apology.

Update: I've came back multiple times. I love the food, and I haven't had an issue since! Would highly recommend.“

“Tasty chowder & friendly staff“

“100%recomendado lo mejor el café ☕️ super rico 😋 👌 lo mejor muy bonito el lugar“

“Soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and great customer service Rubal
Was very patient and helpful because it was my first time it smells so good inside and everything looks very clean. Couldn’t wait to eat. I definitely will be back.“

“10/10 highly recommend! Great service, very clean place, sandwich was packed and delicious. I had The Godfather and wow!! Definitely will be coming back again“

“One of my go-to sandwich shops on Solano Ave. Great paninis – can vouch for the shrimp & avocado, tuna, or vegetarian. Comes with a decent side salad and packaged in a convenient, highly portable, reusable, compostable box. Service can be a little slow at peak times, but not too bad.“

“We stopped here on a whim as we were looking for something new after a workout class.

Walking in there were plenty of tables open. This place has an enormous bar area as well. It must have been a sports bar in its former life.

We ordered the Roti to start and my wife ordered the spring rolls with shrimp. I went with the roast duck over rice. The Roti was fine… it seemed like they put their roti in a panini press and just served it like that, so not a lot of flavor. The Thai restaurant down the street (infinity) has a much better roti. The curry dipping sauce was really good though. My wife said the spring rolls were “fine”. I really enjoyed my duck over rice dish though. The duck was moist and full of flavor and the hot soy sauce had a nice kick to it.

Service seemed a bit off, slow to get water for us and hot sauce, but everyone was nice.

I’d come back for the duck rice, but I don’t know if this place would get elevated to a “must return”.“

“great service and hospitality love there food will always come back .“

“food was great, lind of pricey but worth it“

“ok so at first i didnt know this place was even a thing but the pizza we order was very good and there was code on our coupon and we used and it said we could get a free 2 liters bottle soda but we used it to knock down the price and so when we went to go pick up the pizza and we told the worker about the coupon and ect and they told us since we used the code to knock down the price if we wanted the bottle soda we would have to pay 5 bucks for it so we decided to leave the place and we arent coming back to this place“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“I was looking for a salad somewhere other than Mixt and was directed here by a friend. Their salads are so good, full, fresh, and they're so flavorful you don't need much dressing at all. It was so good that I went back for lunch the very next day. I've only had their grilled chicken in a salad, but it's delicious and can be gluten free. Definitely worth the DoorDash delivery!!“

“I was recommended Bloom pizzeria by my friends. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with excellent hospitality that made us feel instantly welcomed.

The owner himself was incredibly friendly, taking the time out of his day to chat with us and even share the story behind one of his best selling “Momo pizza”. If you’ve met the owner, you can tell how much passion and thought goes into everything he does.

The pizza itself was absolutely delicious! It was fresh, flavourful and unlike any other pizza I’ve had before. You can really taste the consistency of quality in every bite. On top of that, the layout was of the restaurant was amazing, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

As someone from the UK, my only wish is that Bloom Pizzera were in London so I could visit regularly. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and genuine hospitality.“

“Good place for to-go sandwiches and coffee because the place is small. I got checkin Pesto and Cappuccino, and both were really good.

Parking: There are plenty of parking. However, I am not sure if you have to pay because most of the meters are not working.“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“After visiting this place twice, it goes straight to top 2 on my favorite restaurants!

Every single dish was just an extraordinary explosion of taste in your mouth 🤤🤤🤤!

The service, just wow! The waitress was literally on top of everything. Even whit the room well packed of people. 👏

Something else I love of this place is the presentation of the dishes, it’s so clean, delicate and simple but effective! ❤️❤️“

“North Beach Pizza has the best GF pizza in the bay area. It's even better than my homemade GF pizza, and you can't beat the service. North Beach Pizza is great for family dinners with gluten free pizza and salads.“

“Excellent food and owners! Always fresh.“

“Really great food with a somewhat open kitchen and three small television screens playing news and sports. They have many pods from chicken biryani to paneer wraps with fries, a personal favorite of mine is the fried veg momo, another one being the paneer tikka masala with rice. The place may be small, but without doubt, I would eat this all three meals of the day and for a snack. Thank you.“

“I been eating here since early 2000’s.

One word. BUSSDOWN.

Memories were made here. After smoking a swisher and drinking a Sobe.

Had to slide there often. Thank you for your service. Ucit.“

“As a vegan it’s nearly impossible to find delicious, authentic soul food. I drive out of my way in Bay Area traffic to get there. Now that I have moved away I look forward to my annual trip. Thank you for filling my soul for 15 years!“

“The chef Mike came out to meet us . The owners and staff were super friendly and attentive to our orders . The food was really fresh and the spices and flavor were amazing. I love the fact we had a option to create and build our own salad ...Welcome to Walnut Creek“

“Such a great meal! Lovely people and awesome experience dining by the lake. There’s a lot of construction outside, so it takes some navigation skills to find, but it is absolutely worth it! You’d pay 2 times as much for this quality and innovative food at any other restaurant in the Bay Area. Will definitely be back!“

“This hidden gem in downtown Oakland is everything you hope for in a true mom-and-pop restaurant—and more. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth that makes you feel like part of the community.

The lunches are simply outstanding: hearty, nourishing, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and satisfying without being heavy.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the heart behind it. The owners are incredibly friendly and take the time to connect with their customers, creating a welcoming space that goes beyond just great food. It’s the kind of place that brings people together and makes downtown Oakland feel like a neighborhood.

I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“Definitely recommend this place! first time here and I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Berkeley!! Food is delicious!“
