50 Best Salad Restaurants near Middle Village

“I eat here every chance I get. I LOVE the food. Fair prices and excellent meals . The service is very slow and they need to pay more attention to the customers as you’ll walk in and seat yourself yet wait a while for a glass of water so you’ll need to ask the waitress for service but it’s worth it ! Five stars ⭐️ for the food.“

“LORE in Brooklyn is an absolute gem that deserves all the praise it gets—and then some! Every visit feels like a masterclass in hospitality, thanks to Jay, whose impeccable attention to detail and warm, welcoming nature make you feel like a cherished guest every time. The team's thoughtful touches extend beyond the food, creating a welcoming space for everyone, including four-legged friends in the outdoor seating area.

We've been fortunate enough to dine here on several occasions, and LORE never ceases to amaze. Every dish showcases an inspired balance of flavors and textures. The Kimchi Uttapam is a standout, blending vibrant spices and tangy, fermented flavors into a dish that’s as comforting as it is innovative.The Biscuits & Gravy with mushroom coconut ragout, chili crisp, and a perfectly fried egg is divine—comfort food elevated.

The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, making it the perfect spot for a special afternoon out or a casual gathering with friends. The team’s passion for what they do shines through in every aspect, from the creative menu to the exceptional service.

LORE is easily one of our favorite spots in Brooklyn, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, do yourself a favor and make a reservation—you’ll be blown away!“

I went there a couple of times and tried a lot of different dishes, they all exceeded expectations.

My favorite dishes are the green curry and the pad thai, they also have a delicious Thai ice tea slush.“

“I just wanted to take a moment to shout out Tyasha for her amazing work at Just Salad Every time I visit, she greets customers with a warm smile and a positive attitude that makes the experience even better. She’s hardworking, professional, and truly cares about making people feel welcome. It’s clear that she takes pride in what she does, and it makes a big difference. Just Salad is lucky to have someone like her on the team.“

“First trip to Aragvi and what a suprise. BY FAR THE BEST MEAL WE HAD IN THE CITY. The service was excellent! The Adjaruli was so amazing. The lamb chops to die for. The napoleon so light and tasty! We loved our dinner and will be back!!“

“Good FOOD! Very delicious and enjoyable 💖“

“great salad and smoothie but even better service. Angel and John were helpful, know the menu and made recommendations as this was my first time. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend. clifton NJ location..“

“I’ve been to this restaurant twice, and while the food is generally good—some dishes, like the fried chicken, stand out—the overall dining experience leaves much to be desired. Both times, our food arrived within minutes of ordering, but the temperature of the dishes was less than ideal, which made it feel rushed. Additionally, the tables are packed very closely together, making it uncomfortable and not very enjoyable.

The service was another drawback; the servers seemed rushed and were not particularly friendly, which took away from the experience. Overall, while the food has its moments, I’d much rather go to Win Son for Taiwanese cuisine, as it offers better quality and a more pleasant dining atmosphere.“

“great salad and smoothie but even better service. Angel and John were helpful, know the menu and made recommendations as this was my first time. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend. clifton NJ location..“

“Tucked away in the heart of midtown, this charming little Chinese restaurant has truly been a delightful surprise! Their innovative menu seamlessly blends Eastern and Western flavors, offering unique combinations like Chinese dim sum with a brunch-style twist.

Despite its cozy size, the interior exudes a serene and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive—our server even took the time to chat with us and offered personalized recommendations based on our preferences.

If you're looking for a hidden gem with delicious food and a peaceful vibe, this place comes highly recommended!“

“The Canary is by far the best locals bar in Crown Heights. Everyone is very friendly. Excellent food with an array of the best beer and whiskey Ireland has to offer. Best Guinness pour I have found outside of Ireland! Live music on Sundays earlier in the evening. A must see if you are in Brooklyn!“

“Visiting NY ,please dont forget to eat at this place

Vegetarian options: Visiting NY and especially around Rockefeller, Diamond District, around 5th Ave , this is a definitely a place to dine in or have lunch , Mike is amazing and also the entire staff , they have Excellent salads for Vegetarians, definitely try their Humus and Babaghanoush. You will not be disappointed.“

“These the best place in Brooklyn if you like to try real Shashlik . We recommend to many friends and everyone love it . Best shashlik !! Liver shashlik melted in mouth. !! Great service , everyone is very friendly , we very happy and will be back . Try these place !!!!!“

“Really friend staff; the food I’ve ordered there has never tasted off - specifically the pumpkin & lentil soup; chicken mozzarella sandwich. Compared to the other health fast casual chains in the radius (sweet green, chopt, etc.) this is my favorite.

Also love their 50% off smoothies 3-5PM deal ?“

“They have indoor and outdoor seating. It’s cozy and warm inside, limited tables. The staff is nice, the manager or owner was kind enough to bring us blankets when we got chilly while eating and watching the marathon runners today. The bolognese was yummy, and my friend and her mom enjoyed the focaccia sandwich and chicken caprese salad.“

“Great place for breakfast. Very good selection, tasty ingredients, ample space and good service (no table service). Prices are very reasonable within the unreasonable NYC. I had the Long Island breakfast and it was delicious. They do take away as well.“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“I was craving some middle eastern/Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint! A great selection and the ingredients are all very fresh with the shish kebab made upon ordering. I had the build your own bowl and highly recommend. To top it off, the staff is very friendly and warm, even asking how the food was after!“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“I get takeout from here all the time and the food is AMAZING but for some reason the plastic fork they provide always breaks while eating and I'll find myself biting into a loose prong halfway through my bowl??? This happens like every 2 out of 3 times too so I know it's not just a one off thing. Super odd but that would be my only ask that they get better utensils lol

Also the spam musubi here is fire, def try that“

“Yummy yummy Sushi! Speedy Service!“

“Everything is just excellent! Very polite staff, very clean, there is a place to sit and eat in peace! And most importantly, the food is simply excellent! I highly recommend everything! We took kharcho soup - there were 4 pieces of beef. We took it for two. I have attached the invoice. There was a lot of food, we took it with us.“

“We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu.

The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special.

The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“Delicious with great service. Back home to Scotland tmrw and had to come here one last time☺️/ jumped the gun with this review because I based on it on the previous night. Our female server should get a raise for her care and consideration. However the male server was highly unprofessional. He was shouting and swearing at a game and playing on his phone while dealing with us. Gave the general impression that he was annoyed there were customers. Only other bugbear was there were two lots of music being played over the top of each other. Please pick one and stick to it.“

“The food was delicious. Anyone that doesn’t like the flavor means they got a boring salad in my opinion. I do recommend that you branch out and try their Different types of salads. Service is four out of five because the staff didn’t look happy nor like they wanted to be there at all, I guess they were having a bad day as we all deserve to have one.“

“Went for a family lunch. Sharing starters were big, 2 were easily big enough for 4 people, and tasty. We had meatballs for main course (obviously!) with pasta. All very delicious. You can choose between different types of meatballs, pasta and sauce to make your own combo. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended.“

“Nice low key place, very good service 🤩“

“Okay this is a little updated review. I still love Eden's after years of patronage and they are my go to for lunch pretty much everyday of the week but I also found weird fiber stuff in my salad today and I'm pretty sure I ate a lot of it. I really hope it's not like plastic fibers or hairs...

One other feedback would be please don't skip massaging the kale for the GOAT bowl. I get the GOAT all the time and 90 % of the time it's perfect but occasionally I get just very raw, unmassaged kale that is very difficult to eat haha. Otherwise you guys are awesome, keep making amazing salads.“

“I ordered ahead and picked up my Chicken Tikka Masala Bowl for lunch, which was really quick and convenient. The bowl itself was priced pretty standard and in line with other fast casual spots nearby so I don’t mind. The food was so so flavorful and honestly amazing compared to my usual bland rotation of salads and other bowls. Great textures, protein amount, and will be adding this into my usual rotation for sure!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Just Salad! The food was fresh and perfectly customizable to my preferences. But what really stood out was the amazing service from Gabi. She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome. It’s clear she goes above and beyond to ensure customers have a great experience. Thanks to her, I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“My husband and I got our coffee here every morning of our trip. My husband was very happy with his black coffee. I always ordered a vanilla latte and it was the best vanilla latte I've ever had. The vanilla flavor had a rich, almost nutty flavor to it. The foam was perfectly creamy and just right the right amount. It was superb and I looked forward to getting one every day of our vacation. The man and woman (I'm so sorry! I forgot names!) were incredibly polite, warm, and inviting. He was so kind to our two kids and gave them bananas we saved for their snack later. I'm disappointed I never actually tried the food, but my kids did have a cinnamon roll and a chocolate chip muffin. They were served warm and the kids loved them. Whenever we make it back to NYC we will absolutely stop into Aleef again!“

“Good food, great service“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“Walked by this place a couple times and finally decided to stop in for a slice of pizza. So glad I did! NYC pizza with a thin crust and nice char, good cheese and pepperoni. Pizza had just come out of the oven and was freshly baked and hot. Service was quick and pleasant. One of the best I’ve had in NYC. Thanks!“

“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!“

“Seek Coffee is a true find! I stopped in expecting a great coffee, but the baked empanadas were the real surprise. The chicken empanada was soft and warm, with the perfect texture not dry like other places. It was so fresh and flavorful, I couldn’t get enough! Pairing it with their strawberry lemonade was a treat refreshing and just the right touch of sweetness.

The barista was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming vibe that made me feel right at home. Service here is top-notch, and the cozy, inviting space makes it easy to settle in and enjoy. Seek Coffee is a must-visit for great food, drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like a warm hug!“

“Once I found Katsuya, I had a wonderful meal. If you go, walk past Whole Foods, Peloton and a half dozen potted trees. It is upstairs but there is an elevator. I had hamachi carpaccio - best I've very tasted, and the Katsuya roll - also very delicious. My server was lovely and the restaurant is beautiful“

“Absolutely fantastic. The flavors were excellent and balanced. Dishes were visually heavy but actually savory and light. Left feeling very satisfied. Waiter was very accommodating and attentive. Better than Uncle Boons IMO. 10/10 would recommend.“

“The pizza is excellent, there is a modest amount of space to eat in, and they have a bar so customers can enjoy an adult beverage with their meal. Friendly service and a reasonable wait makes this good value for one’s money. We will be back!“

“Ask. for. Cesar. EXCELLENT Server. I told him to surprise me with spicy tacos and the ones he picked were so delicious. I will definitely be back. The stools at the tables seem oddly low. Maybe I sat in a weird one? Aside from that excellent experience. I even meant to write this review weeks ago and forgot, it’s still on my mind!“

“Incredibly delicious Mediterranean food. I got the chicken shawarma which was fresh and extremely flavorful. the potatoes and hummus I had as sides were similarly fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they even threw in a piece of baklava! Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the city“

“First of all, the food proportions are amazing (i got full from just eating half). The chickies and fries platter are a must try from this place. The man behind the counter recommended to drizzle some green sauce over it, and it was so savory and delicious!!! The burgers and sandwiches are also sooooo good. Each time I went, the guys behind the counter were always friendly and cordial. 10/10 recommend“

“I love the bowls here. They also have avocado toast and smoothies. But the bowls are the star. You can change the proteins to make most bowls vegan. Their sauces are vegan. Also they have a great app with discounts a lot, so download that. Love this place 👍🏼“
