The Salad House

The best lunch specials in the city! Fresh, healthy, fast, and budget-friendly. VERY generous portions. There is a reason there is always a line (but don’t worry, they move through the line very quickly- they are so efficient!) If you’re looking for a quick lunch in the area, you won’t find a better price for FRESH and homemade salads, wraps, chicken, kebab, and more. Staff are lovely as well. Lots of regulars.

Even though you had so many reviews and wouldn’t mind if I don’t leave one but I must leave one because it’s so delicious. Just look at this small size chicken shawarma!!!! Yummy and wallet friendly.

We went to Salad House on a co-worker’s recommendation—and honestly, if you know me, you’d know salad is never my go-to meal. But I trust his taste buds, so I gave it a shot. At first glance, I probably would’ve walked right past this place. It’s small, tucked into a little street, and a bit dim from the outside. But once we stepped in during lunch hour, it was packed—clearly a local favorite. If you’re planning to come for lunch, definitely try to arrive early! The ordering process can be a little confusing for first-timers: you head to the left side to place your order and pay at the cashier. After that, take your receipt to the right side, where the chef will go over your preferences and build your meal. The portion size? Generous. I ordered a small salad and it still lasted me two meals. Granted, I have a petite appetite, but this salad kept me full the entire day. It’s a perfect option if you’re craving something healthy and refreshing, but still want to load up on protein. The garlic sauce is chef’s kiss, and I’m personally obsessed with their hummus. This isn’t one of those $20 salads that leave you hungry an hour later—it’s satisfying, flavorful, and well-balanced. I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in the mood for a hearty yet fresh meal.

I visited the Salad House at around 1pm, when the lunch line died down but they were still busy. The veggie plate (should be called the veggie platter), was $14. It included rice, lentils, grilled vegetables, chickpeas, beets, falafels, fresh greens with feta, tomato, cucumber, hummus + babaganouj, all perfectly seasoned. This is not an exhaustive list of the delectable, fresh, grilled, or pickled vegetables that were included. I ate it for 10 minutes, before being decidedly full, and I barely made a dent in the huge container it was served in. Generous, nutritious food at an excellent value. Workers were quick and efficient as well. Please support this family-run business.

Good service, clean kitchen, amazing food, good portions, well balanced meal. What more could I ask for? I also love the slice of lemon that came with the lentil soup. Wishing the best for this business. May you continue to serve wonderful food for years to come!

Hidden gem! Street view doesn't look appealing but don't let that fool you. Amazing food and fresh ingredients. I got the small chicken schwarma lunch special for $11.50 and it was overfilled with lettuce greens, tomatoes, cukes, chick peas, lentils, hummus, some other sauces, potato, beets, and of course the schwarma. Very flavourful and would highly recommend checking this place out. Limited seating with a very busy lunchtime crowd.

Ordering the lunch special of large chicken shawarma with rice and salad for $17.00 (tax included) that is pretty good deal for a restaurant located in downtown. I should have ordered size small as the portion of size large is quite big. Love the food, salad, and chicken.

My colleague at work discovered this place through a friend. We then visited together. It was a rainy day, yet, there was long queue right from the door. We were on the queue for over 10 minutes before we got our order. When I got my order (Large Chicken Sharwarma), I realized why the queue was long. Affordable quality meal with large quantity! It literally took me till the close of business to finish my plate and I enjoyed it.
