    We had just arrived from out of town and we were staying at Pruneyard. Never heard of this place but it was an excellent place

    It was good now it's gone

    The patio out back here is the place to sit, it's quiet shady and tucked in the back away from the main drag. The service was pretty good, and the food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The guac was good, a little spicier than some, but in a good way. The salad bowls were ENORMOUS. and the build your own choices were varied. You can make exactly the salad you want here, no problem.

    This place serves one of the best salads I've had. There used to be another salad spot I loved, but it's no longer open this one definitely fills that gap, and I'll definitely be coming back. It is a little on the pricier side, but it's worth it. I ordered online for pickup, and by the time I arrived my food was already ready. The location is a bit tucked away in the back, but the space itself is simple, clean, and inviting. I chose the create your own salad, which includes five toppings. I tried both the pesto Ceezer and the sweet sesame dressings. The sweet sesame is lighter and not overly sweet, which I liked. My favorite, though, was the pesto Ceezer it was creamy, fresh, and really flavorful.

    There aren't enough good salad places - so ordered delivery from this place to try it out. Our salads were great - generous portion of protein-packed salad. ingredients were fresh and the dressing was delicious. Loved their presentation - all the toppings are grouped so you can pour in your dressing and shake the box.

    The food looks exactly like the pictures. Vibrant, fresh and delicious! My friend and I were checking out this place because it looked healthy and fresh. Yes and yes! We were helped by the owner who was so hospitable. He let my friend taste the basil that was displayed in the restaurant. We ordered the Samurai Steak Salad and Steak Supreme Salad. Perfect portions! He even gave us a free watermelon drink that had basil in it. Refreshing and tasty! We also chatted with one of the staff. He was pleasant to talk to and loved the food. Love when staff love the product they serve. Only complaint...the Campbell location is very difficult to find. It a definite hidden gem.

    Samurai Steak Salad
    Stacy C.

    Tried The Good Salad for the first time today. Had a Samurai Steak Salad delivered for lunch. Overall I loved the salad, especially the variety of ingredients like edamame, roasted peanuts, carrots, and green onions. Everything tasted fresh and delicious ... except the steak. I saw pictures of what the steak looked like before I ordered, but somehow got it in my head it would be thinly sliced and medium rare. Nope. It was cubed, cold, and slathered in spicy mayonnaise, which was very, very spicy. Too spicy to eat. I should have asked them to leave the mayo off. They do allow you to customize your salad, which I love. I opted for 100% romaine and added corn. Yum. The sesame dressing it came with was good, but not my favorite. It also comes with a glaze, which I did not try. I was surprised they didn't have a bigger selection of dressings. Honey mustard would have been good.

    The Good Salad is a cute salad bar in downtown Campbell. They took over the space from Brown Chicken Brown Cow and didn't change much of the design or layout. The service is really friendly and fast. We got the Caesar salad and the brazing chicken salad. Both salads were great with fresh quality ingredients. To be honest, the two salads were too similar to really get a good sampling of their menu. I guess I'll need to go back and try different items.

    My favorite salads are the Blazing Bird Salad and Cali Caesar! I would pass on the Steak Supreme. Overall, quality salads and great service. I will note that I hate the parking situation around this location - I'd rather just go to the other location to pick up the food to-go. The salads here are great, quick to make and grab, but I don't know if parking (especially on weekends) are worth it.

    Steak Supreme
    Katie R.

    Nothing like a healthy and filling salad that won't break the bank! I'm not sure when salads got to be over $20, but it was refreshing to see them range from $14-$15 here, while including meat - even steak! They have a variety of already composed salads as well as a BYO menu. The BYO option might run you a little more if you select steak, but they start at $15 and offer a good variety of toppings. Ingredients are fresh and salads are filling! They're located downtown Campbell in the old Brown Chicken Brown Cow location, so a little tucked away, but just look for the pink signage and you should be able to find them!

    Great make your own salad spot. Located in some back alley, hole in the wall. You wouldn't think much of it if you randomly walked by, but this salad spot is really great! The decor is reminiscent of a Jamba Juice, but feels obviously more health conscious and has a nice vibe to it. The salad portion felt pretty generous and the staff was really accommodating for a place you order while standing. I wasn't a fan of their wild watermelon juice as it was fixed with some greens that really took the sweetness out of the drink, but everything else about this place slaps for me. Definitely worth the journey navigating through the back alleys of Campbell!

    Clean and bright interior.
    Lucy L.

    Grateful for this cute salad place in downtown Campbell. They have half a dozen signature salads, and you can also custom make your own salad and choose from many ingredients. I ordered the Samurai Steak salad which had a nice medley of vegetables and dressing. The cut pieces of steak were well-done and looked pale, leaving me to wonder it it was boiled in the boiling process. The dressing helped give flavor. I had hoped that the steak would be nicely grilled and juicy. Otherwise it was fine and I ate the whole thing. Reasonable portion and price. Good service and clean place.

    I love when there's a good salad place in town. No pun intended ;). A really solid spot that's reasonably priced for salads and you don't feel like you have to pay $20+ for lettuce. Tried their prefix salad and it was delicious. My friend customized hers and really enjoyed it as well. My go-to place for salads from now on!

Today, I decided to order the Chicken Fajitas, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, it was the most delicious fajitas dish I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the vegetables were cooked just right, and all the flavors came together beautifully. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. I've always enjoyed the food here, but from now on the Chicken Fajitas will definitely be my regular order. Well-deserved 5 stars. Thank you, El Halal Amigos!

    Hey there Party People…read more El Halal Amigos is a hole in the wall joint that was on "Diners Drive-in & Dives". So my expectations were high and I was a little bit disappointed. The restaurant itself was clean and had a very small amount of indoor seating. If you are going to come here make sure it's a Tuesday ( Tacos are $2). I got the Carne Asada Nar-Chos. I very much enjoyed them. The balance was perfect between cheese, guacamole and meat. Every chip was covered in something delicious. There was a decent amount of jalapeños so the heat was there. I would get these again and again. Where the restaurant fell short was with the Chile Relleno Burrito. We were expecting the ooyee gooyee cheese burrito we had seen on TV and it was very very far from it. Hubby is a major Chile Relleno connoisseur and to him it was average at best. Chips and Salsa were average flavor wise. But they were free so that was a plus. Since we went on a Tuesday we tried the taco special. The Street tacos were very tasty. They had a great freshness the meat was juicy and very well seasoned. If you're in the Willow Glen area and are having a taco craving then you should check this place out. But in my opinion the food in general is slightly above average. I actually would give this place 3 1/2 stars but the app doesn't allow it. Be kind to one another

Every dish is seasoned perfectly and not overly salted. I've tried just about everything on the menu and the meat is always tender. Vegetables here are top quality as well, which compliments the dishes nicely. And the green yogurt sauce is spicy! In a good way. I usually order an extra with the biryani plates, because *some* is just never enough. Their mango lassi is super mango-ey. I don't know what kind of mangoes go into this drink, but it has the most sweet, tart, and ripe fruitiness (emphasis on fruitiness), and the yogurt in it adds good balance. Perfect drink. There is a good variety of items to choose from, so I don't get bored eating here. You can tell everything is cooked fresh on a daily basis as well. Don't sleep on the desserts either. After trying baklava at many restaurants around San Jose, I regard Gulzaar Halaal's as my personal favorite. Crispy layers, firm yet chewy bottom, and never stale. Perfect balance of sweet, nutty and spiced. My favorite dessert though has to be Kanafeh. Soft-ish, melty sweet cheese (with rose water, I think?). Ask for it warmed. I've always felt relaxed when eating in the restaurant. Tables are frequently cleaned. The owner is very attentive, making sure customers are happy with everything. Their interactions with people are always very respectful and kind. Last but not least, the bathroom is clean, neat and tidy.

When I went up to ask him why the food was taking so long, he handed me the order - all packed to-go, even though we didn't state that we wanted our order to-go EXCEPT for the manakish. He said he'd make our food again, but just handed the two bowls in their to-go containers without the lid, and hastily placed the wrap on a plate. The manakish was also plated, even though that was something we wanted to-go. The cashier claimed that he'd make a new manakish for us, but it turns out he lied and didn't do so! There was no accountability, apology, or consolation from ANY of the restaurant staff. In fact, they were just standing around in the kitchen. As for the food, the portions were big but the steak in my bowl was really bland, and there was too much hummus overpowering everything. My dad said his chicken wrap was really dry. The manakish was a bit soggy (because it was sitting in a cardboard box out of the oven for 45 minutes) too. Our total for four items and a frustrating experience was $87. Iraklis and Dish N Dash are just 10 minutes away - go there to be actually respected as a person and have a pleasant dining experience.

I was kicking myself after leaving for not remembering to ask for no onion, only to discover that, thankfully, they didn't put raw onion on it! I was delighted, and this may be the best chicken shawarma I've ever had. The meat was flavorful and plentiful for a small order, and to my utter joy there were strips of pickle tucked in with the meat! It was such a delicious mouthful that I was really wishing I'd gotten the full size after all! It's better that I didn't, and now I can't wait to go back again and try more things, like the shawarma fries! Parking can be difficult so be prepared to hunt and maybe walk a bit.

Food did take a little bit to come out though, so I'd guess that if it's more crowded, you should be prepared to wait. Parking is a bit of a pain as they only have street parking and there's only enough seating for ~20-ish people at a time. The menu is pretty small, but pricing isn't bad as the wraps are pretty big. I will say everyone who LOVES this place said I missed out by skipping the fries, so that might've been the missing star. Chicken Wrap (Rabieh Style): Wrap was nicely toasted and the chicken is perfectly seasoned with a nice bit of caramelization. The garlic toum is sharp and the cheese added the perfect amount of salt. White sauce with the hot sauce add both creaminess and a bunch, all in all it's a good shawarma wrap. I don't know if I'd travel out of my way to try this, but if I was local, I could see being a regular.
