The food is So delicious!!! Massive portions! My husband and I couldn't finish our bowls we saved the rest for dinner! The staff are amazing and so friendly! The place is so inviting and has a great vibe and energy! Definitely we will be back for their bowls and desserts!! read more

First off the place is very clean, and the place is decorated really nicely! My boyfriend I came in and were immediately welcomed warmly. The workers are really nice and had good recommendations for our first time. The food is absolutely delicious and they gave us two lemonades on the house! Definitely come here it's like a super elevated chipotle but for Mediterranean food! So good! read more

The food was very very good. Loved the environment as well. Family owned tasting food and very clean interior. Owner was a good guy too. Made sure I left happy 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

Absolutely unacceptable experience at Sala Mediterranean in Walnut Creek. What happened there was not just rude customer service, it genuinely felt discriminatory and racist. We drove from Pleasanton to Walnut Creek to try this place, and from the moment we started ordering, the attitude from the staff was hostile and disrespectful. One employee making the bowl suddenly claimed there would be an extra charge for adding a small amount of onions. Another employee adding the dips never explained that only 3 dips were allowed. When I requested muhammara, instead of politely explaining the policy, he aggressively removed another dip from my bowl and threw it in the trash right in front of us. The behavior was humiliating, unnecessary, and clearly meant to disrespect us. When we calmly raised the issue with the manager, things became even worse. Rather than apologizing or correcting the behavior of his employees, the manager immediately became defensive, rude, and confrontational. He refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing and ultimately refused to serve us food at all. I have never in my life experienced a restaurant refusing service to customers over such a minor issue. What made this especially disturbing was the tone, body language, and treatment we received compared to others around us. The owner was also present, and his response and attitude came across as blatantly racist and prejudiced. We were treated as if we did not belong there. It was shocking and deeply uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the serving station itself looked unhygienic with flies around the food area, which raised serious cleanliness concerns. This place seriously needs to reevaluate how they treat customers. No one should be made to feel disrespected, targeted, or unwelcome while simply trying to order food. There are many Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay Area that know how to treat people with basic dignity and respect. This was by far one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had, and we will never return. 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

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. We created our own Mediterranean bowl and it was excellent. They also have the best baklava that I have ever tasted. If you are looking for something delicious and healthy Sala grill is a must try. All in all, I give Sala grill five read more

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 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

New must try restaurant in Walnut Creek!! They are still in their soft opening phase but i already came here multiple times and each time is so good. The owners and staff are super nice and welcoming. And the place is clean, modern, and aesthetic, especially for a quick service! I always get a bowl and every bowl I get is super fresh, flavorful, and filling. You seriously cannot go wrong with any of the choices. Their baklava is soooo good too, you need to get it if you come here! Highly recommend checking this place out and will definitely be coming back 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

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

Sala Mediterranean Grill - 1/2 chicken, 1/2 falafel. Chicken is almost non existent - Mediterranean Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

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

I was just in the area and was looking for something to eat but casual to avoid all the Mother's Day weekend madness and found this gem!

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

This was SOO GOOD. everyone compares it to cava but i think this is 10x better im not a big fan of cava. they let you pick as many toppings as u want and unlike cava i feel like the sauces didnt leave the bowl soggy it was like the perfect amount. i got the greek dressing and the garlic sauce. The guy who worked there said he ALWAYS gets the garlic one so i had to. the place is also so cute and they have a greek froyo coming out that im excited to try. Also it was so much food i had half the next day. read more

Sala Mediterranean Grill - 2nd time there! Clean authentic middeteranean food. Worker Zac provide excellent & positive customer service - Mediterranean Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This place is such a great addition to the neighborhood. I used to love Maoz falafel when we lived in New York because it was so fresh and so customizable and have never found an equivalent in the East Bay until now. Sala has a huge variety of sauces, spreads, proteins and toppings. The cauliflower was well cooked and tender with great seasoning and the falafel was crispy and light. I'm excited to try all the sauces and proteins. The space is both cozy but airy with the wood tones and high ceilings. It was a soft opening so they only have bowls now, but the service was prompt, friendly and kind. I work across the street and am so excited to have such a tasty but healthy lunch and dinner option. I stopped by at 5 and took them home for dinner. My husband didn't have his until 8 and it held up really well. Will be back every week! read more

The 3 stars is mainly on portion size. Owner, workers and food is great. No complaints there. Just keep in mind if you're not an influencer, your portion is wayyy smaller. When I went my bowl was barely filled. But looking at IG, all the influencers got their food very over filled. I would suggest staying the same for normal customers and those that come in with a camera. I'll still come back but hope you will train your staff to stay normal with portions. read more

The food taste was excellent, the atmosphere comfortable, and the team welcoming and professional.

Everything the place new clean fresh . The wraps are ok not what I expected I thought maybe I thought a Mediterranean wrap would have maybe a tandoori chicken but no all fresh vegetables stuff it's good but not my first choice. I see people enjoying the bowls anyway I don't think I would go back read more

Great food, great service, and reasonable prices. The area is kept nice and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Like a cava but a tiny bit better. I got the beef and chicken bowl with rice and grains. The pita chips were amazing, definitely recommend. Overall a great experience and good food, only thing I'd suggest is adding some sort of marinated chicken read more

Wow, the team went above and beyond on my second visit! Thank you so much to Simon, the very kind owner of this great new spot. The food is fresh and delicious, and they are hitting their stride through their soft opening. I got the Mezze Market bowl again (repeat from my first visit because it's that good), and it was amazing and well portioned with leftovers for tomorrow. Sala is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and very happy they're here. Highly recommend! read more

I had no idea they just opened. The food is already amazing, and everyone was so kind. Highly recommend takeout or dine in.

Obsessed!!! If I could give them more stars, I would! I saw this restaurant being reviewed on TikTok and knew I had to try it. From the moment you walk in, you're immediately greeted by the staff, who are incredibly kind and welcoming. Since it was their soft opening, they offered guests the opportunity to taste-test items on the menu, which was such a great experience. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, and everything I tried tasted amazing. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to check out this new spot,it's easily made its way into my top five.

Three of us came here for lunch and loved our bowls and wrap. The staff was very friendly and helpful as we tried to decide from the wide selection of ingredients. Everything looked and tasted fresh. I tend to rate a Mediterranean restaurant by their roasted eggplant (baba ganoush) and falafel. The baba ganoush had the perfect texture and smokiness. The falafel were on the small side but had the right balance of a thin dry crust with a tender interior. The flavor of the falafel and the serving size made us forget the unexpected small individual ball size. We were so full after lunch that we did not have room for dessert. We'll plan better next time. read more

We went for dinner and each got bowls. Food was delicious! The restaurant is so clean and calm and decorated super cute. Staff was so nice, even letting us try a little dessert for free.
