50 Best Salad Restaurants near Kensington

“Really enjoyed the nachos special tonite, the chip holds all the delicious toppings! Food was excellent which included the salmon BLT and grilled asparagus special! Not that it isn't always great, but the specials and dishes were prepared especially well, keep up the great cooking and variety! IPAs and elderflower prosecco were great compliments! Service was great too, way to go Tony!“

“Monday night burger special! Even more of a treat is the Monday night speghetti and meatball special. The dish is really tasty, pasta cooked perfectly, meatballs (3) were tastes of every italian spice and meat without being overly spicey. I only wish they offered the steamed vegy and shrimp dish the Rockville location offered. Us girls have to watch our waistline! :) Thank you for opening where we needed a happy place to land with great servers to put a cherry on top!“

“Unbelievable experience at what initially looks like a carryout restaurant. When we walked in we knew we were gonna take our carryout order and sit in. The menu has a lot of variety. The food came out fresh and made to order, but it did not take a long time. I looked at the reviews and saw that the Gyro over rice looked really good, it tasted even better!!

The owner was very relatable, and very hospitable. Though you order at the counter, they bring the food to you like at a sit down restaurant! It felt almost like I was eating at a family-friend’s or my uncle’s house!

I already know what I’m going to order when I come back from my second trip! Keep up the amazing job !!

We ended up sitting for another seven minutes, waiting for the check, but we forgot we already paid, just to tell you the type of experience we got !!!“

“One of my favorite places for lunch! While they mainly offer salads, there are choices of warm bowls and grilled wraps too—you can get it as is, or have it customized. Lots of toppings to pick from. Good variety of dressings too, and if you need, they can give you a sample of the dressing to try first.

Staff are friendly and efficient. Even during the lunch rush, I never have to wait too long, the line moves fairly quick. If it’s your first time here, I suggest looking over the menu first so you’re not holding up the line looking at all the topping choices, it can be overwhelming. Also, they have a good amount of seating—benches, high tops and tables, and a few tables outside.“

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“We have a big party in Choyhona on Saturday, March 9th. The tables were set beautifully, salads and kebabs were tasty (most recommend Kutabi with meat). Everything was served in time. Waiters were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.“

“But i wish they gave you least 6 toppings free!!!!“

“Great food. Enjoyable place to lunch with a friend.“

“zeadon Malik and staff were extremely welcoming and the food and drinks were excellent. the place was clean“

“This beat some of the NY style slices I had even in New York. Just the perfect ratio of crust to sauce to toppings. Perfectly sized pepperoni cups. A gorgeous toasty feeling to the freshly heated slice. Started with 3 slices between 2 people and essentially ended up eating a whole pie. Staff are amazing, so warm and friendly. Great brews on tap and a few salads and sides on the menu to go with the pies. Can’t wait to come back“

“Ambar's newest location does not disappoint. If you know Ambar, it goes without saying the food is amazing. new offerings on the menu gave me some new favorites to add to my already long list. New cocktails for a new address, yes and thank you! The design esthetic is light and refreshing...And the 2nd floor ceiling is an instagram dream. Easily 5 stars.“

“Came in on a hot day (July 2025). Loved the noodles, ease of ordering on the monitors and good seating to work thru lunch break. The customer service was 12 out of 10. All the workers were friendly and attentive. They greeted everyone, cleaned up after each guest, and asked every customer how they were doing and if they needed anything. Kudos to the ladies in the kitchen. I do think the AC is broken so it can’t be easy. There were also no bathrooms so I wasn’t able to wash my hands.“

“Delish! We need one of these in Hampton Roads! Their staff was super friendly and helpful!“

“The salads 🥗 are excellent, I had the opportunity to try the Mexican Caesar Salad with chicken, accompanied by Mexican Caesar Dressing, which gives an excellent flavor when mixed with all the ingredients, Thanks to Aldair who was the person in charge of preparing my salad 🥗 and providing me with an extraordinary service.“

“The cocktails are on point. I had a Mezcal JungleBird and a Firing Squad. Both were delicious. My friends also liked their drinks. The bartenders were fun and entertaining. The one guy has a propeller on his vat - he is hilarious.

We had lamb kebabs, hummus, and charcuterie. The lamb was so tender and tasty - a little bit spicy with a hint of mint. I think that the hummus had beets in the recipe - delicious. They gave us so much hummus that we could have used more pita but we didn’t ask. The bresaola on the charcuterie plate was out of this world. I heard that they make a pretty solid burger but we already had dinner and we were just snacking with late night drinks.

Classy place. Framed prints of Alphonse Mucha’s work behind the bar - there is an Art Nouveau feel. Nice looking room.

Pretty great place - one of the best places in DC IMO. I really hope that it doesn’t get ruined by stupid drunks roaming around Dupont Circle.

Parking: Not easy to park on the weekends.“

“So I came here for my first time on brunch sunday. And the service, vibe and atmosphere was everything everyone talked about. We had Michelle as a host and everything else. She wore a lot of hats today! She was amazing! She made sure everything was to a T! And Justin was our server and he was great as well !!! BEST 2 !!!!! Will return“

I am glad we stopped in on the way home to Virginia! Thank you all! oh the deserts were great!“

“Exceptionally great customer service, Attentive workers that were very engaging And excited about the salads they make and serve. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience. The girl with the Big red glasses was especially great. I really wish I remembered her name. She had a really good presence about her. Absolutely recommend you visit.“

“I've been a happy customer at the Courthouse location for 5 years. The staff are super nice and caring! The food is always delicious and prepared beautifully..recommend the falafel bowl, tofu salad, Greek yogurt items, smoothies, avocado toast, soup, and cookies. Very fresh ingredients.

Dietary restrictions: There are many healthy vegetarian options..none of the super processed mock meats are offered. Some of the side items are a huge portion too. Salads that have meat or dairy could be modified easily with vegetarian or vegan options. Vegan soup option is fantastic.“

“If you're a fan of bold flavors and fresh ingredients, District Falafel is a must-visit! From the moment you step in, the welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The food is nothing short of perfection—tender and flavorful on the inside, with the perfect balance of spices.

Their variety of dips and toppings and sides makes every bite feel like a new adventure. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely meal, the quality and care that goes into each dish is undeniable. The staff (and owner) is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place.

If you're looking for a spot that serves authentic, mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine, District Falafel should be at the top of your list! Highly Recommend!“

“Wonderful food and fantastic service“

“YouEBe Cafe in DC is one of those places you just want to hang out in. The vibe is super cozy and welcoming, with a mix of modern and homey decor that makes you feel right at ease. Think soft lighting, comfy chairs, and cool artwork on the walls. It's the kind of spot where you can easily spend a couple of hours catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just enjoying some “me time.”“

“We visited DC this weekend from NC. I went to DC Vegan with my non-vegan husband. Two days later he's still raving about the chick'n cutlet club. He said it was the best "chicken" sandwich he ever had and I can't convince him it was actually vegan 😆 Well done friends 👏👏 I had the artichoke bowl which was fantastic and the cheesecake is to die for! Wish we could have stayed in DC longer as I would have loved to try the other menu items.“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“I came in one evening for lunch and I grabbed the new salmon bowl and it was a delicious healthy bowl that I had. I went to the gym after and even felt amazing. There’s definitely a difference on what type of food you put in your system especially for a workout And this restaurant provides that fast pace, fresh healthy food, and most importantly, most generous, polite, and patient service loved it.“

“The Saigon Chicken Bahn Mi is definitely one of the better destination salads ive had in while. It's absolutely delicious.“

“Our second full day in DC and this was our second stop at this location for lunch. My wife and I both had a craving for a gyro. We both got beef gyros. They were both delicious. The pita was full of meat, sauce, lettuce, tomato and onions. Overall, it was a great lunch“

“Great food, service, and super easy to find! Just drive until the road ends, park your car, and look up at the restaurant on the second floor.“

“I saw a brochure of the restaurant on my door when I came home and decided to try the restaurant. I ordered a salad and a pizza. The pizza was amazing but the service was exceptional. Mh uber driver stole my bowl of salad and blamed the restaurant for it. When I called the manager reassured everything was given to him and went above and beyond to prove it by sending me a picture of him personally handing the food to the guy.. I've never experienced such an incredible service and I will for sure order again in the future. I am 100% recommending this restaurant“

“We had breakfast there: omelette and croissants w/freshly brewed coffee! The place was very clean and the personnel was very friendly and patient. I would go back!“

“Great spot for roof dining 😎“

“The way that I have the server make my pizza is everything. Gluten free crust, green sauce/spicy red sauce, spinach, red/green bell peppers, crushed garlic, roasted broccoli, pineapple, onions, salt, and oregano. After it's baked squeeze some balsamic dressing on it.“

“Everything so delicious here. Feel like I am in Thailand. อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ เหมือนอยู่เมืองไทย ขอบคุณพี่ไก่ ที่พามาทานค่ะ ❤️“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“I love it, the food is fresh and service is excellent!“

“Bimbimbap has always been my favorite Korean dish, especially when I became vegetarian. Great selection of toppings much more than a typical bimbimbap would have. I did a pick your own and layered in everything that caught my fancy, including the potato noodles halfsies. Service was adequate. Portions were good and ingredients seemed fresh. Of course my sauce was gochujang. OK value, tasty, it's like a Mediterranean bowl Korean style. Lots of seating, Sat upstairs. Not very crowded on a Thursday night, unlike the rest of this happening shopping venue.“

“We are visiting from Tennessee and wanted authentic Thai cuisine. We found it at Sampannee!!! The best Thai meal I have ever eaten. The cocktails were delicious and the food was perfection! Very friendly kitchen and the waitress was very friendly. I’ll be dreaming of Sampannee for many months! So, so good!!“

“One of the best restaurants I've been to in my 34 years of life. Visited January 2017 and still remember my experience. The food was very delicious and generously portioned. My personal favorite dishes were the nachos and crab cakes. I remember that the service was excellent. We were seated in minutes, and it was still very busy. All and all I highly recommend this restaurant and I cannot wait to go back for all their great dishes/service“

“I love M2M, low prices and great eats.. the salad bar is outstanding. Great customer service and very clean.. You can eat inside or outside. 5 Stars PLUS“

“We visited from Tennessee to come here obviously because we are HUGE fans of Chef Dorzon... to our absolute delight I got to fan girl and meet him!!! I am absolutely obsessed! To make the visit even better, the food was freaking phenomenal! Our waitress made our stay perfect. Not gonna lie, we will make the 8 hour drive again, just to come back to this extraordinary restaurant!“

“I'm so glad I discovered this place while walking from the Textile Museum to the Renwick. Lots of lunch choices from soup to salads and sandwiches. My Parmesan Chicken Salad Sandwich ($10.50) delicious. The small Devon Salad ($4.50) and Iced Passion Fruit Tea ($4.00) completed a very good, reasonably priced, quick lunch.“
