I will start by saying that I agree with most reviews I have read here. The customer service is extremely terrible, but the food and the smoothies are a very good option for a healthy lunch. I often grab food here since I work nearby and don't feel guilty afterward cause it's not junk food. They sometimes skip adding ingredients to the smoothies though or run out very early in the day. I did stop going as frequently because I didn't want to spend a bunch of money in a business where I am not treated well. No simple hello, thank you or goodbye or how can I help you. Alot of huffing and genuine misery and it's not a one time off it's almost every time I have visited so far..

This is my favourite spot to get food! It’s cheaper than most fast food and such a delicious and healthy option! The staff are always so nice and welcoming and I have never had a bad experience :)

To be honest, the lady that owns the place can be really rude. The toppings that come with the salad are extremely little and then when you ask her to put a little more, she charges you. Today, she took some of the guacamole out of the my salad bowl and put it back. It was weird. I go here all the time out of convenience, but leave with a bad taste in my mouth each and every time she is working. The other lady is super nice and very welcoming. But the owner is just really rude

First time here. I was craving a salad and glad Salus came up in my Google search. I tried their seasonal salad which had mixed greens, beats, feta cheese, grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds and fig balsamic dressing. This was so fresh and tasty. Friendly staff. I knew when I walked in this place was going to be good as it was busy. Super clean! I highly recommend you try them out. I will be back for sure and I’d love to try a smoothie.

So Delicious! Met a friend here for lunch and we both ordered the Harvest Crunch bowl and it was amazing. So fresh and flavourful. You feel like you are doing your body good, by eating this yummy creation! Service was A+ - they were lovely and attentive (even though they were juggle 800 orders while we were there...LOL). Will definitely go back - as there are many more items I'll like to try!

Wow this place is Awesome!! Everything is so fresh & clean. I typically make my salads at home and often feel ripped off when I buy salads, but not here. They have so many yummy options to add and really fill up the bowl giving you your monies worth. I highly recommend checking out this local gem! Added bonus the staff is so friendly 🙂

SO GOOD. SO FRESH. The staff were both friendly and smiling. The food was fresh and there are tons of options. I had the goddess bowl and even the chicken was REAL and NOT DRY!! Most options are Vegan or Gluten Free! This place is so hidden, you will miss it if you're not looking close enough. I will be coming back for sure!

Update Sep/2024: I love Salus so much. Glad to have this option in Ajax. We ordered off of UberEats and I did a 6-topping BYOB and it was so good even though I didn t think my toppings would work well together haha. I ordered: brown rice and heritage mix greens, roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potato, mushrooms, black beans, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese and additional cost chicken then pumpkin seeds all topped with green goddess dressing. Update (2022, 3 stars): The Google location is inaccurate currently as it should be located further east and directly behind the Applebee s. Ordered off of UberEats, the order got accepted and finished, but then the place isn t located where it says, the phone line doesn t go through, so now I just feel scammed.

The food was absolutely excellent. They have found a way to make Vegetarian or Vegan meals extremely flavorful & appealing. They have meat options aswell for those who dont want to go full Vegetarian. The service was very friendly and kind. There are only two workers at a time, so unless you go when they arent receiving alot of orders or have a line up you will be waiting for a little bit. The atmosphere isnt really a place to sit and eat, this is definitely a take out spot Vegetarian options: They have multiple vegetarian or Vegan options and they are all very tasty.

Salus is the whole food takeout option Ajax has always needed! The food is always fresh, prepared with love and at a fair price. This is truly your healthiest option in town and we no longer have to rely on Freshii which is overpriced and underwhelming. The best part is, this is a family-owned business and the owner Donna is truly so genuine and kind. Thank you again for staying open a few extra minutes to prepare our dinner! I look forward to trying all the dressings on the menu and continuing to include Salus in my health and wellness journey :)

They mess my order up EVERY SINGLE TIME. I am not exaggerating, their staff can not read. I order once to twice a week from this location as I am enjoy the healthy options of the brand itself. However, this location has not once sent me the correct order.

This was the Durham location. In the land of fast food selections I was just looking for a place to grab a fresh sandwich. Happy to have found this place. Bright and clean serving vegetarian and meat add ons. Suitable options for vegans. I had an amazing veggie sandwich loaded w fresh toppings and side salad and my partner had a veg bowl. Also had a delicious smoothie. Counter service was amazing. Highly recommend.

My go to spot for Fresh Healthy food after the gym. I had the Bravocado grain box with chicken. Chicken was tender and well seasoned. Veggies were fresh and tasty. Soo good. All the grain boxes are good. Donna was so nice and provided amazing service! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza

Love it here for DoorDash, just wish they would give more quinoa with the bowls other than that it is a perfect place for vegans, alkaline options as well. Best is that they have vegan cookies and sauces (rare to come by!)

I had the BEST experience at this place. The owner is absolutely amazing! I came in just before closing and ordered a açai bowl; even though she had everything packed up and cleaned, she still made me my order with no problem! The açai bowl is amazing and even their food is so good. I love coming and ordering here because it s so healthy, tasty, and fresh. 10/10 definitely would recommend this local place!

Been here a few times for the acai bowl because I love the flavour and fresh toppings however the hygiene practices are questionable. My bananas and strawberries have been cut on multiple occasions with hands that are touching a personal cell phone and no hand washing/sanitizing is happening before food preparation and no gloves are worn. I want to continue eating here but not sure if I can unless there is improvement.

Ordered on Uber Eats, and somehow the two smoothies I ordered were missed. I called the shop, and the owner personally drove them to my home. Excellent service. Smoothies are divine, and food is yummy. Only complaint, and its small... The lettuce in my bowl was the best of freshest. Aside from that, everything was great, and Ill definitely order again!

Lady working the counter seems over worked or that she is unable to manage the rush. I walked in and was greeted by, im not ready for you yet as she had another customer. I said pardon? And had he repeat as I was surprised as to what was just said to me walking in as a Patron, like I was a burden to be there. Not sure if this is owner operated or if this is a franchise of such but I can assure you I wont be returning to this place ever again. Smh .

Decided to come here for lunch today because I wanted a healthy option that didn t compromise too much on taste. I hate most salads but after seeing the reviews of this place, I decided to try the custom grain bowl. Portion size: Excellent portion size for one person. You will be full after eating this. If you are someone who has a smaller appetite, you may not be able to finish. Taste: Amazing fresh tasting ingredients with lots of different unique flavours. I got grilled chicken on top which was seasoned well and perfectly tender. Best of all, it s all super healthy. Value for money: At around $17.50 with tax for the grain bowl you ll be hard pressed to beat the value for taste, size and benefit to your health at this price. Very polite and friendly service on top of that. I m going to be coming back here often.
