6 Best Salad Restaurants near Dedham

“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.“

“Ochi may be the best hidden secret for sushi in metro west. Everything is always fresh, the service is impeccable, and the setting is lovely with jazz music in the back. Their lunch special is the steal of the century. Highly recommend the miso soup, the shrimp shumai, the spicy rolls, and the fancier rolls. It’s so good that I often find myself coming once a week.“

“Great Customer Service I love the experience great food“

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!“

“Car broke down in parking lot, almost every employee came to check on us to make sure we were okay. If I could give the store manager 10 stars I would, he was very understanding about the time that the tow would show up. The closing night manager on 8/7/2026 was amazing. Great chick fil a.“
