    Bowl
    Carson M.

    Came on a Sunday close to opening, no line, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Two metered spots out front, or park at the Chase bank lot behind the restaurant ($7 for 11 hours, though I couldn't select a shorter time for some reason). Clean interior, helpful staff. Their soda and water dispenser is behind the counter, so ask them for cups of water while you're paying. I built a rice bowl with kale, chicken (they also have chickpeas and cauliflower as options), hummus and tzatziki, pickled onion and cucumber tomato salad, and greek and creamy garlic dressing. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Also got a side of pita chips, since it seemed popular. They fry it fresh, so it took a few minutes to come out, but it was cooked well, still soft and doughy inside with a slightly crispy exterior. It did have a slightly strong oil taste though, so maybe fry it a bit less or use fresher oil. I'd also get a side of dip, since your bowl won't have much left after mixing.

    Came here for lunch with my friend the other day. We both ordered the falafel salad bowl. Since it was noon, the restaurant was fairly crowded. We were pretty lucky and were able to find a table by the window to sit. The inside of the restaurant was bright and warm. I really liked the decor. The order line moved fairly quickly. The food was good. The portion was also a decent size. I am glad this place opened; it's a nice addition to the Walnut Creek food scene.

    Chicken bowl

    I went here after a Barrys class and I really enjoyed my bowl that I created. I got the chicken with rice and greens and a myriad of sauces and toppings I can't even name. But everything mixed together really well, creating a bowl bursting with color and flavor. Also cannot recommend the pita chips enough! They make them fresh to order and we didn't wait too long. The inside was light and airy while the outside the perfect amount of crunch. It was the perfect meal to have after a workout class. The inside was clean and well kept and the property has a good amount of seating inside and outside.

    Sala has quickly become my new go-to spot for a delicious & healthy takeout meal in Downtown Walnut Creek. I've been here twice now and I immediately fell in love with their Build Your Own Bowl, with fresh and flavorful ingredients. The line tends to be long, but moves quickly. I like to customize a greens & grains bowl. The saffron basmati rice is always a good choice. Then you choose dips- I like the hummus and tzatziki; Proteins are next, and I recommend the lamb! All the toppings mix in well and you can't go wrong. Finally, there's a good selection of dressings. I like the Tahini and Spicy Harissa. I recommend the Pita Chips to go with your meal, especially if they're freshly made!! On my first visit, I had to wait five minutes for a fresh batch, and it was well worth the wait. For dessert, the baklava is perfectly flaky and not overly sweet. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean and has an okay amount of seating, but I wouldn't recommend dining in with a large group (more than 4). Great for takeout.

    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

    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.

    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.

    4.5/5 I've been waiting for a healthy quick grab and go place. Parking on a weekend is horrendous so please have patience. Line was long at 2pm on a Sunday, but still got a table to sit There is limited seating inside but also have some outside. Staff was patient and quick! Food was delicious and warm. I got the spicy harissa and it was a nice warm heat. Food was fresh. Can't wait to go back again! would be a good take out place.

    Pita chips
    Cynthia P.

    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

    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.

    Baklava
    Raj B.

    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.

    BYO bowl, went with Lamb & Chicken

    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.

    Saffron and pistachio delight
    Sandra V.

    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.

    My absolute favorite Mediterranean place to eat in Walnut Creek…read more We love to sit outside on the patio with lush plants and enjoyable music. We have a few favorites that we absolutely love. The dolmades are so sweet and tender with a fantastic balsamic glaze sauce that is to die for! The hummus is nothing I've tasted before. I have no idea how they use garbanzo beans olive oil and paprika taste so delicious. I love how they serve a complimentary pita bread with a secret dip as soon as you sit down. The dip has tomatoes, onions, parsley, garlic and? That dip is just amazing! The garlic shrimp was good but I'm a garlic lover so bring it on! The flavors of the food at Silk Road are Amazing! Such a hidden gem in Walnut Creek!

    Tried this place tonight while visitng Walnut Creek. The menu was interesting as they serve Greek,…read moreMediterranean and Italian foods. We decided to share a few plates and ordered the hummus, dolmas and garlic shrimp. The hummus was creamy and flavorful. The dolmas were served with a sweet and tangy sauce that was thw perfect complement to the grape leaves, rice and herbs. The garlic shrimp was sauteed shrimp, feta cheese, garlic, tomato, and spinach. I enjoyed the shrimp dish but I felt it needed more garlic to punch up the flavor. They have outdoor dining with a covered patio. The service was friendly, thereby providing a very nice dining experience. Overall we had a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend when in the area.

It was smoky, well spiced, and rich. The eggs on top were on the smaller side so they were a tad over on the cook, but not too bad. The pinsa that was delivered though...oof, trade this out for actual pita or something. It was just so dry and over baked with oil. As for the pinsas, generally pretty good. I did expect the Pesto Eggplant to have the eggplant cooked down a bit more to allow the eggplant to have more of a creamy texture but that's just personal preference. Under the Tuscan sun was quite delicious and perfect for the summertime with the cannelini beans, mozz, lemon and peppery arugula. We did add two dips - the harissa and the creamy zataar. The harissa was better. The zataar needed a lot more zataar. All in all, would return!
