50 Best Salad Restaurants near Chestnut Hill

“Chef Dave's is a spectacular dining experience.The staff are incredibly friendly and Knowledgeable. The food is both creative and absolutely delectable.“

“I visited the Chestnut Hill location. It had been a while since I came to this location. They renovated and made some changes to the menu. I ordered the goddess salad and added pickled onions but removed the carrots. I LOVE their salads. All the food is very fresh. The staff is helpful and the line moves quickly. I placed my order on the app while in the restaurant. When I placed the order, no one else was waiting, and there was no line. The preparer started my order as I watched, he was just about done with my order when a customer came in. Instead of finishing my order, he put it to the side, left it on the counter, and walked away to help the customer. It bothered me because all he had to do was put the cover on it, and my order would be completed, but he left it out in the open to prepare the walk-in's order. Thankfully, one of the other staff saw that I was waiting and proceeded with completing my order. She was very kind and attentive. I do enjoy the food at this establishment. It is always clean, and the utensils and napkin area is always fully stocked. (It's the little things I appreciate) They have a wide variety of add ons to design the salads to your liking. Great price for the amount of salad you receive. Every time I am in this area, I make it a point to stop and order a salad. Try them, you won't be disappointed!“

“I created my own bowl with spicy tuna and salmon, and I tried the volcano sauce. The volcano sauce packs some heat, which I love. Great variety of toppings to choose from and also multiple kinds of seaweed--which I also love. Good price for the portion, IMO, and everything was very fresh. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a top-notch poke bowl.“

“This self-served salad bar is perfect! Everything keeps clean and staff wearing gloves. Though they have different choices of Korean food, I was attracted by this fresh variety of salad and it’s so flavorful and tasty. Great for vegetarian and veggie lovers, can’t ask more for this summer ! Highly recommended the place.“

“Awesome We always happy with everything“

“I had a great experience at Cava restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the ordering process smooth and welcoming. The restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall comfort of the visit. What really stood out was the quality of the food every ingredient tasted fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell they prioritize using high-quality, fresh produce and proteins. Whether you're building your own bowl or picking from the menu, there's something for everyone, and it all feels healthy and satisfying. I Highly recommend Cava for anyone looking for a fresh, flavorful meal with great service in a clean and inviting space“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“Delicious pizza. One slice is actually two huge slices! Affordable prices. Will visit again.“

“Food was amazing! Happened upon this while touring Boston and loved it so much, we came back the next day for more. Small space, and serve your own drinks, but the food is worth it. We had their garlic bread, burger, fries, baked ziti and pizza.“

“The food at the Shy Bird in Fenway was absolutely delicious, especially the Chicken Dunks with the homemade sauce dips they were all so good we couldn't choose a favorite and the butternut soup was absolutely incredible, with its little kick of spice and sunflower seeds! Our server was top-notch,very attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. We are looking forward to our visits this summer during the Red Sox games.“

“The food here is everything! If you like sauce get extra bc it might b a little on the dry side, so u always ask for extra or you can even buy your own bottle for 5 bucks. The only reason it’s not getting 4 stars is because there’s no parking anywhere…“

“Grilled Clams make it so worthwhile“

“Awesome pizza.. huge slice“

“I only visited to quiet 🤫 hunger pangs, the unauthorized sequel to Games 🎯, and I was short on time. The Furikake Mac Salad appetizer looked good, the ingredients read okay, and the price is right ▶️! It tasted good and held me over till dinner.
Service was good. I was given a smile. I ordered at the self checkout screen.
I am curious about their items on the menu. They have multiple locations and I am going to recommend this one.
There is a dining area in the center of the market.
Garlic 🧄 Spam Musubi? I hope Vikings do not show up!“

“We’re from the UK and quite literally never tasted or experienced anything like this place. We ordered the pastrami sub, sausage egg and cheese bagel and a cream cheese bagel. Just get everything on the menu though. The people are so hard working and so friendly, and the food was incredible - so much value for money!! If the shop is full for eat-in, then take it to go and take a short walk to the public garden. They also show the prem games! This was just so good. Thank you so much.“

“It was our first time there today, we went for the fried fish .. I cant believe how fresh and tasty it was .. everything we ordered was perfect and delicious .. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely go back again .. the owner was very welcoming and the service was super fast. Be more last thing , the place was very clean .. over all our visit was worth the drive ... wishing them all the best 🥰“

“Chipotle chicken Melt on a wrap“

“Great time last night!! Highly recommend. This restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate a fundraiser that was held at the restaurant.“

“fast and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend the Hamburger and fries“

“Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating.

The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid.

Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty.

The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side.

Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.“

“Life alive Café
I love the decor of their restaurants . The people are really friendly here. Just remember when you walk in grab a menu figure out what you want and then they’ll bring it to your table. The smoothies and teas are delicious. I’ve had salads and warm bowls. Very healthy and worth the price.“

“I was excited to find this restaurant. I am severely allergic to nuts and fish and they are nut and fish free in their Brookline restaurant! The food is delicious, the wait staff are so nice, and I didn’t have to worry about my allergies! Highly recommend.“

“Another wonderful family lunch today! Thank you Chris and the Carlo’s Cucina family. My second visit in three weeks. We’ll definitely be back! My new favorite dining spot on my visits to Allston, from the Cape. 👍🍽️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark N.“

“YUM - AAAYY - ZING!!

Words are insufficient to describe my excitement for Mario’s!!!

I’ll start with THIN CRUST - Classic Neapolitan pizza, ITALIAN style. Then FRESH FRESH FRESH ingredients make all the difference. I look forward to it, whenever I can make it, usually for lunch on Friday, the only week day they’re open at 12:00 noon. Awesome vibe that’s 100% local local local. Small place, mostly take out, but you can seat 3-4 people at the window counter, which I love. Old school marble counter, with comfy padded bar stools. You have to know it’s here as the location is a tad off the beaten path of prime visibility. Which ‘proves’ one of my philosophies ‘ great location, often mehh food, not so great location - the food must be amazing. So many amazing points …. One of which is the ACTUAL MARIO! Punctuating the super local CHEF OWNED cafe. He’s here all the time, super nice guy, a joy to chat with … and he truly loves making incredible pizza!!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Food was absolutely off the hook delicious! This place will do amazing. Every bite was as good as the first. Drinks were great too. Food is banging, 5 stars.“

“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful people working here!“

“Best Mediterranean food I've had in decades. Everything was delicious. Couldn't be better. I had the kofra kebab plate, ground beef with lamb, rolled and fried, salad, hummus, garlic sauce and tabouli. Look it up. I'm probably not touching it all the great aspects of it. Every part of it was exceptional, full of freshness and taste, each part distinctive in taste and presentation from another part. Not the usual commodification of Mediterranean food present in most imitative restaurants. So many spots are predictable, bland, food feeling like it sat around waiting to be served and unremarkable in every way. Not here. A full size salad, bright, light tastes with just the right amount of a delicate dressing. Not just the typical hunks of greens and ingredients thrown together with no soul and doused in some soybean oil based imitation.It was not the thick flour pita pocket that despite rips apart when you try to lightly stuff it with your salad or grape leaves or tabouli, despite being the thickness of baseball glove leather. This pita pocket was as thin as it could be, not the chewy baseball glove we usually get, yet completely resilient. It held everything I stuffed into it.“

“If you are looking for outstanding authentic Egyptian food please try Kushari. The food made to order is consistently delicious and service is over the top. Plenty of free parking is another bonus!“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you order from them! Everything is fresh and the owner is a great guy.“

“The best pizza and sandwich’s around delicious 😋 best customer service when you have an issue with door dash thank so much harry for lunch 🥰“

“I love this as a delicious and inclusive place!“

“We shared the garlic butter chicken stir fry with extra garlic and garlic sauce and the OG cobb salad. Omg…they were both so good and complimented each other well. Damar gave us recommendations of what we could order and the rest of the staff were so friendly. Casual, friendly, delicious and a great spot that’s friendly for the wallet. Will definitely come back!“

“One of the most flavorful meals I’ve ever indulged in! Love the vibes there, and that everything is healthy and organic. Impressed that the prices weren’t too high either! Was just traveling through Salem on vacation in September & glad I found this place. Highly recommend. (Pictures are of the Rainbow Harvest bowl and Blue Magic Smoothie) - which had a kick to it, but tasted like Christmas.“

“Ah absolutely amazing food! Looked for the highest rated food place around where I was on Newbury street at that point, and this showed up. And the food was so comforting and amazing. We got the lemon rice and chicken, and lamb w/ spicy feta and had an extremely hearty meal!“

“Food and value can't be beat! That being said, I strongly reccomend to order in-person rather than online. I've consistently found that going into the store will actually get you your food faster, and with larger portions to boot.“

“india Pizza in Lexington, MA - A Hidden Gem. I recently visited India Pizza in Lexington, MA, for the first time and wasn't sure what to order. I decided on fried chicken and fried vegetable rice, which turned out to be an awesome choice. The rice came out first, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crisp, just the way I like it, even though I didn't request it that way. The customer service was top-notch—very professional. I only interacted with one staff member, but the service was fast, and I didn't have to wait long for anything. I highly recommend you try their food. I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent service all around! I'm not a person who try different culture foods. The reviews sold me. The Service I received again was top notch 👌 👍“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“I had the south west bowl . It was very good . You got a lot for the money. I could not eat it all . . A little more spice would have been nice.“

“Delicious food. Great service. With a great balance of healthy and tasty offerings.“

“Wooooow! Wife and I are visiting from SC and both agreed that we’d turn into regulars here if we lived in Boston. The birria was maybe the best I’ve ever had, guac was so fresh, and the service was excellent. We have Abuela’s marked on our map for our next visit to Boston, we’ll be back!!!“

“This is a 5 for a lunch option in downtown Boston. Best Italian sub ever? No. But for the price and convenience, it’s the best in downtown. The large size sandwich is HUGE. Fast. A little soup-naziish in that you better know what you want when you get to the front of the line. The bread makes a sandwich and theirs is great. Take out only“

“Always our “go to” place when in Boston. Never fails.“
