Great new addition to the Broadway shopping center here in Walnut Creek food scene. Awesome staff members who treat you as a regular even though it's your first time walking in the door. Very warm, welcoming atmosphere and smiles also they were very accommodating. The owner himself even comes out and checks on you to answer any questions and to make sure you're happy with the food and service. We had a bowl and a wrap. The bowl was refreshing and the wrap couldn't have been better. Check out my pics and use your imagination. So when hungry and want fresh and healthy alternatives. Try out Sala read more

A new Mediterranean place in town so I figured I would try it. My friend and I decided to order bowls which I went with the Santorini bowl that was already created. The beef that came with the bowl was very tender and flavorful and the vegetables were fresh. The bowl itself is pretty filling and we both ordered mint lemonades to quench our thirst. The mint lemonade was the perfect amount of sweetness with mint flavor. My friend ordered their pita chips and I thought it was pretty pricey for what seemed like a few chips. Some items had a coming soon so I'm sure more they are still working on having a complete menu. The inside is pretty plain and simple with booths and tables with outdoor seating. The employees were super nice and I will definitely return to have simple and clean food. read more

Sala Mediterranean Grill - Santorini bowl was so good! - Mediterranean Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This place is so good! It's pretty much a Mediterranean chipotle! Already been twice and will be back for sure! I've tried the chicken and the lamb and they're pretty good! Only tried the bowls here, but love how all the flavors complement each other. Each bite is zesty and aromatic. read more

I was so excited to experience Sala after seeing many things about it. The line was a bit intimidating on a Sunday afternoon, but the line went faster than I thought! For my bowl, I got the saffron rice and lettuce as my base with chicken as my protein. I got an array of other goodies including dips (hummus, tzatziki, and muhammara), pickled cucumber, pickled onion, tabbouleh, balila, and dressings (creamy garlic and classic tahini). It was super filling and yummy! Cool how you can make your own combo of items to your liking! The seasonal lemonade (didn't ask the flavor) was refreshing and tart! Everyone helping us was super kind despite how busy it was. One server even let my partner sample the beef since he was super indecisive. Let me just say the beef was SUPER tender; made me regret not getting it myself. I can't wait to be back! I also would love to know if the meats are halal as I would love to recommend Sala to my friends who follow a halal diet. read more

Sala Mediterranean Grill - Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

A very welcome addition to the Walnut Creek dining scene. I've been around the block with Mediterranean fast casual and I can confidently say this is the real deal. (Note I am vegetarian so can only provide context on those dishes) Food: Exceptional. You could tell the food was very freshly made and prepared. This is often the downfall of other Mediterranean places I've been to. Key is that the falafel balls here were fresh, moist (and not dry). Also the flavor combination of the Mezze market bowl was divine. Portion size was very generous. Also tried the baklava- though it's not made in house- was very delicious. House made lemonade was very good as well. Note that they also have wraps but were not serving them yet during the soft opening when I was there. Ambiance: Thoughtful decor and lighting which makes for a warm and elegant vibe though it is an unpretentious casual spot- my young kids were with me. Service: Owner was there and was very attentive. He let us sample some items like Turkish delight- very generous. It was soft opening so some of the other employees were not as well versed yet on the menu but some modest training will help I'm sure. Look forward to going back soon as I love to see this diversity of food in WC so want to support it. read more

SOOOOO GOOD!! Been hearing about this place all over social media. Everyone saying that this is a cava dupe but I thought it tasted better than cava! Inside had plenty of seating. There was seating outside too! We built our own bowls. Everything is labeled for vegan/GF... so delicious! We ordered a side of pita chips and it was so warm and seasoned well. We also got some housemade lemonade. It was a bit more on sour side but still good. I will definitely return here in the future. 100000/10 read more

Located right in downtown Walnut Creek and close walking distance from the mall. Parking can be challenging with two parking garages near by. Food line does move fast but with every new place a wait would be expected. Lots of choices such as signature bowls, wraps, make your own. portions are smaller compared to other similar restaurants. Only able to get three sauces vs unlimited. Toppings are capped too. For price and taste id say 3.5 stars . More can be desired. read more

The mediterranean version of Chipotle, but also if Chipotle had healthy, fresh food. My chicken bowl was $18, and it was full and filling. You go through the line or you can choose a premade bowl. They have wraps and plates or the bowl version. I went with faro and romaine, chicken, cauliflower, some dips, sauces and toppings like tomato and cucumber salad and feta. The dips were fine. Everything mixed together it's just kind of like this medit hodge podge. I do want to say it again, everything looked and tasted super fresh. Overall, a solid and healthy fast casual option. I'd probably peg this more at a 4, but again, I can't hate on healthy eats. The staff were all super nice, too. read more

Alright Instagram, you got me. After many influential reels, I needed something fresh in this 90 degree weather. My parter is gluten free/celiac and it's necessary we pick places that can accommodate her. Tons of GF labels. The employees were personable and cracking jokes with us, all so friendly. An older lady started bothering the cashier about how they don't have a compost and the cashier handled it eloquently. The falafel was fluffy like a cloud! All the sauces were delicious. My lady said the lamb melted in her mouth. What seemed to be the manager came around to ask how the food was, and all I could give him was a little dance. My bowl after tax came to be around $20, which for how FRESH it was, totally worth it. Local competitors are not as fresh, and more expensive. So happy to have this new place, welcome to Walnut Creek! read more

As someone who loves Cava, I was delighted to find out that there is a restaurant with a similar concept nearby that is 100% halal, seed oil free, and locally owned. Sala just opened recently and I had to try it asap. I went with a bowl and got a side of pita and their creamy garlic sauce. The food tastes homemade. They use fresh ingredients and you can absolutely tell. Very friendly staff. They gave me good recommendations and even let me try some of the meats beforehand. I highly recommend Sala if you're in the area. read more

I've driven by this place many times but never had the chance to stop in until today. I was looking for something quick and decided to give it a try. I've been to several similar concepts before and honestly haven't been very impressed, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The moment I walked in, I noticed there wasn't a single seat available, which already told me this place was doing something right. The atmosphere was bright, welcoming, and comfortable--it genuinely felt like walking into someone's kitchen. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They offered a wide variety of options to mix and match. I chose the chicken and falafel as my proteins, and they even offered me a little cauliflower to try with my meal, which was a nice touch. I also ordered the mint lemonade, which was refreshing and delicious. As for the food--wow. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The chicken was juicy, clean-tasting, and packed with flavor. The falafel were outstanding: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and clearly made fresh. The hummus was creamy and delicious, the babaganoush was excellent, and the tzatziki tasted wonderfully authentic. What really stood out was the attention to detail. The staff were constantly cleaning and taking care of the dining area, and as I was leaving, I believe the owner personally asked how my meal was. That level of hospitality made the experience even more memorable. Overall, this place is a solid 10/10. Delicious food, welcoming service, a clean and inviting atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. I'm so happy we have this new spot in the area and I'll definitely be back. read more

What initially enticed my friends and I to try this place was that we enjoy Cava. When we heard about Sala, we knew we had to give it a try! The food was delicious, flavorful and there was a great variety of ingredients. I ordered a bowl with chicken, rice, and arugula, and asked the staff for their recommendations on toppings and sauces. I ended up going with their suggestions, and they did not disappoint! At around $18 for a bowl, it's not the cheapest lunch, but the portion was very generous. It was so filling that I only ate about half and saved the rest for later. Overall, the food was great, the service was helpful and friendly, and the location is convenient. I'm glad we gave it a try and will definitely come back! read more

Sala Mediterranean Grill - All 3 are chicken as our protein! - Mediterranean Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

My son and I came here for dinner. It was delish! I am so full! My son ordered the Mezze Market and I ordered the Falafel Souk. Also ordered the strawberry lemonade and some delight candy. My falafel bowl was delish. I asked to get three of the sauces as I wanted to try them. All three (spicy harissa, hummus and tzatziki) were delish. My son liked the spicy one more. The bowls are a nice size, I am still very full. Nice protein portion. Th saffron rice was delish. Got my greens too and added some beets. I loved the Saffron delight while my son liked the pistachio delight more. All was great. Service was quick. We were starving and there was no waiting for food. Kind of pick as you go if want anything additional added to the bowl. The service was great from beginning to end. We were welcomed as soon as we enter and they thanked us for visiting. My servers offered to let him know if I wanted to try anything as it was my first time. They had several lemonades. Staff recommended the strawberry and it did not disappoint. I finished it all aside not always finishing my drinks. The tables were clean. There's booth and table seating looking out. Large windows. It's a nice large place. read more

Waited for years to see who will replace Lemonade - and it's Sala! The set up is very similar to Lemonade if you've been here when Lemonade was open. It's soft opening so there is no wrap option - just bowl option. I got the eggplant bowel because it's eggplant - gotta try them eggplants. Grilled very well, love the sour salad (probably bathe in lemon zest), and the falafel balls are tiny, but do pack a nice punch of flavor. Sit in the restaurant and enjoy the music, ambiance, and the patience from the servers as they explain every detail. Once you got the bowl, there is choice for desserts (baklava) and lemonades/drinks I'm only giving 4 stars at the moment because the options are a bit limited at the moment, and the portion is small - I ate it all!!! read more

On 5/17/2026, my wife and I, had a really great experience at "Sala Grill". The service was great and the food was amazing. The place is spacious with lots of seating inside and outside.

Place is very clean and welcoming! The staff were friendly and patient as there are lots of options! I did a build your own bowl which was huge and delicious! The sauces were so flavorful and the dips as well! I did falafel and lamb, which the falafel was perfect and not dry at all. I personally didn't love the lamb as I wish it was more of gyro style and shaved not chunks of it. The pita chips were so good but very small portion for the size you pay for it. Overall very good and I'll go back and try again! read more

My SECOND visit and let me just say... Sala Mediterranean Grill is officially my reason not to cook!! The food is insanely flavorful, fresh healthy and delicious. The portions are generous and filling... Needless to say I'll be back. The team at Sala are taking service to the NEXT NEXT level! incredible team genuinely work well together. Everyone is kind, attentive, welcoming, and committed to creating a great experience. What really stood out to me was a gentleman named Asad I hope I got it right.. he welcomed me and remembered me from my first visit just last week. In a world with so many customers that personal touch meant a lot. They make you feel more than just another customer you feel valued and seen... Thank you Sala!! They truly care about the experience they create, and that level of hospitality is rare!!! read more

Came here on my lunch break. It's very nicely decorated inside. It is a chipotle style type of ordering which is nice because you can customize what you want. Service was quick. They were super nice and helpful and allowed me to try the different sauces, dips and sides since they are new. I got the Mezze Market bowl which I liked all of the ingredients inside. The style of bowl reminded me of Nick the Greek, but not as flavorful. It is not anywhere as good as Cava. Overall I couldn't quite put my finger on why it was just okay. The ingredients were all fresh but the flavors weren't as flavorful as other places. I have been back few times because I still like it as a healthier quick option for lunch. read more

My bf and I came in the other day for the first time. The flavor and quality was definitely there but lack of protein just doesn't justify the cost in our eyes. The bowl would be amazing for a vegetarian but if you're looking for a well rounded meal with enough actual protein, probably look elsewhere. My bf got 1/2 chicken and 1/2 beef, the total amount of meat was probably 1-2 oz total which is a little absurd considering the price for a bowl. We made more protein at home just to get enough protein intake. Flavor = 4/5 Quality = 5/5 Protein quantity = 1.5 read more

My absolute favorite Mediterranean spot. I'm a very slow eater, but here the meat is so tender I actually scarf down my bowl in record time. I love to frequent Sala after the gym because it's such a quick and healthy meal with so many protein options. With all the sauces and sides, it doesn't get tiring. They're very generous with the portions, and about half the time I've come here, the manager has randomly given my boyfriend and I free desserts and drinks. A great place to have a meal with friends because it's casual, in a great location, and has tons of seating. read more

New spot Mediterranean spot in Walnut Creek right across from Original Joe's has been all the buzz - So had to try it out today. The ambiance is very nice and staff is very helpful. They already have exclusive bowls to pick from; but you can also build your own wrap, bowl or pita pocket. All the food tastes very fresh and delicious. You start off choosing a base and then you move on to their dips. I absolutely love that they have five choices for the dips - there is muhammara, roasted eggplanet with tahini, spicy harrisa, tzaziki and hummus. You then decide on your proteins - chicken, beef, lamb, falafel, roasted cauliflower or chick peas. Next, we have cucumber salad, balila, tabbouleh and beet salad cover the main toppings; but they also have pickled onions, feta and kalamata olives. I am definitely coming here again and trying one of their harvest bowls. When it came to pay though, I did pay in cash and they did not have coins. Not sure if it is a policy thing or I caught them on a bad day where someone cleaned them out for coins. But as an alternative they do take card also! May have to consider that next time. read more

Healthy and generously portioned at a reasonable price! I got the Mezze Market bowl and a side of falafel. Everything tasted super fresh and balanced. The flavors all worked really well together, though next time I'd probably swap the spicy harissa for the tzatziki. The staff was also super friendly and welcoming. Great addition to downtown Walnut Creek! read more

Sala in Walnut Creek has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, healthy, and packed with flavor. You can really tell they care about quality ingredients and consistency. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding hospitality. Simon and Asad go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. Their professionalism, positive attitude, and genuine care for customers create an experience that keeps me coming back. It's rare to find service this attentive and friendly these days. If you're looking for delicious healthy food combined with exceptional customer service, Sala is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Sala Mediterranean Grill is a new restaurant offering fast-casual customizable bowls and wraps featuring fresh, vibrant Mediterranean flavors. I started my bowl with a base of romaine and kale, and then tried several protein selections including spiced and grilled chicken, braised beef, braised lamb, and falafel. My favorite was the falafel, which had a nice nutty aroma and crispy exterior. The selection of dips included hummus, tzatziki, spicy harissa, roasted eggplant (very smokey), and muhammara, and each dip was creamy and flavorful in its own way. Then came a selection of toppings, including cucumber tomato salad, tabbouleh, balila (chickpea salad), beet salad, pickled onions, cabbage/carrot/fennel slaw, pickled cucumbers, and feta--each of these was fresh, healthy, and delicious! Finally came a selection of dressings, and my favorite was the Creamy Garlic, which had a delicious garlicky toum flavor but with a pourable consistency. On the side, we had a fluffy, chewy pita bread, which went perfectly with all the different dips. Overall, the food here was fresh, vibrant, and delicious--a great casual addition to Walnut Creek! read more
