The food is tasty, portions are fairly sized, and the senior lady that works there is pretty friendly.

I tried their falafel salad. The falafel patties need heavy improvement. They are very bad in taste. 1) since they are a salad place, their patties are not fried. They are baked/microwaved which makes the patty very dry. 2) the patty they use is nothing special. You would get the same patty at a grocery store too. 3) overall salad was okay with the veggies being fresh and sauces being tasty.

Great place for a healthy lunch ! Visited this spot several times in the last month. Highly recommend if you’re a mindful healthy eater and amazing value for money for daily affordability. Thank you for your services !

Love this salad place. They have limited hours but when i get the chance to grab lunch, i run to this location vs going to the food court down the corridor. Healthy meals, generous portions, well priced and the service is excellent. Great healthy lunch option.

Portions are humongous and prices are pretty good so you get really get bang for your buck. It's similar to another restaurant nearby Salad House (which is also great)! Generally don't like falafel that much but I really like the ones here. All the ingredients taste fresh and staff and nice and efficient.

Wow what a hidden gem! If you're looking for a salad with fresh ingredients and at a great price, then go no further! I got a cobb salad through Ritual for about $7.50 including tax. Definitely will come again if I'm ever in the area. Check out my insta @city.livingcooking 😊

Excellent place to get a salad and more. This location offers more selection than the Cumberland location, like meatballs and basa fish (my current favourite) with pasta/rice. It gets really busy during lunch time but it’s worth the wait!

★★★★

I ordered smoked salmon wrap ($6.35 before tax). It comes with certain sauces and vegetables. I thought we could add anything that we like because their menu don't tell you what's in it. The server was helpful,nice and quick.

The lady who works behind the salad bar is very stingy with the quantities. I used to love this place but sadly not anymore

January 23, 2024

Not great, had the salad special, with lemon vinagrette, which was very bland, the sweet potato mash was very wet and bland the chicken was overcooked and became more like pulled chicken which was not what I was expecting tge humus and tzatiki were good, healthier than most food court meals but not satisfying.

My go to lunch spot for under $10 in the area. Everything is always fresh and filling, and the staff are always friendly. I usually get the special with chicken, or the meatballs with rice and salad to change things up.

★★★★★
December 23, 2022

My favourite work lunch spot and the staff always put a smile on my face. Homemade taste, big portions, you can taste the love and care and quality! Meatballs are great, pork is great, fish is great, chicken is great, rice is succulent, salad is a salad and not a small iceberg wedge with adorned with a single, sad slice of tomato - everything here is so good, and it will fill you up. You cannot beat the value. Comparable to a caring mothers home cooking. Please never leave!

I have been going to Salad House for over 10 years and the last time I went (today) was truly a disappointing experience. The owner, Adel has always been polite, kind and generous with the portions. Today, I paid $7 for a small smoked salmon that was done in less than five minutes. The size of the container not only dramatically decreased, but the girl gave me ONE piece of smoked salmon cut in HALF. I got 3 slices of cucumber and the rest of the sliced tomatoes. She also drenched it with so much lemon vinaigrette, I had a hard time consuming it. I feel if it was Adel he would have served me better. I realize it s a pandemic, but that portion was unreal. Unless Adel is there, I will never go back again. If I have to pay $7 for a salad that use to cost $5-6 dollars, at least serve a decent portion. I find the women are more stingy with the ingredients than the men. Please do better.

I give them 1 star not because the food isn t good but because of the owner. Vegetables are always fresh and their salads/wrap taste pretty good and staff are very kind. However, the owner is horrible towards his employees. He talks to them in a very rude way and I really don t know how these people still work there. Whenever I m there and I hear him talking like this I feel so bad for them as everyone deserves to be respected.

December 23, 2020

This review is just for falafel wrap. They serve cold wraps even after requesting it to warm. They re in a hurry even if only couple of customers in line. It s just a business as most of the places in downtown n midtown. Terrible service, avoid if you like it to be served warm.

This is the one restaurant close to my work that is a complete no-brainer when Ive forgotten my lunch and Im in need of REAL food, thats wholesome and raw.

Completely inconsistent. Sometimes you grab a salad here and its absolutely superb. Ultra fresh, very tasty, and completely adequate. Other times, I find wilted leaves and sour veggies on my salad. I had a completely rotten cucumber that tasted moldy! I think it adds a bit of fuel to the fire that with a salad, youre seeing the ingredients going in, and so its really hard to miss something unfresh. I would more understand an under-cooked chicken breast or something. I totally understand that they need to make money, I just dont like that theyre prepared to do it by sacrificing quality. Love their service, love their staff.

There are two locations for Salad Days in this area. And also, theres a place called Salad House. Two salad days are oddly different in terms of quality of food, quantity of food, and the price of daily special. They were the identical menu, but the price was different. Regardless, not a fan. Id recommend Salad house! Much better than Salad Days.

Love this place and so happy they opened one near my new work! I used to go to the Cumberland location when I worked at Bay & Bloor. Their special is worth the $6.45+taxes with house dress it is a lettuce salad with choice of salmon/chicken and tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta, 2 scoops of sweet potato mash, stuffed grape leaves. As well I love the Cobb Salad. Businesses need to take notes cheaper prices = long lines and steady business.

Im always impressed by this place, ingredients are fresh and during the week around lunch hour the line-up is long. Prices are extremely reasonable and portions are a good size. Have an idea of what you would like before you get to the front as they move very quickly and indecisiveness can lead to annoyance from those behind you.

December 23, 2018

I get my salad mostly from other location located inside the 2 bloor street west. But today I went to this location. I bought the customized salad. I went back to office and started eating it. Then the quinoa tastes horrible. I am sure that they didnt threw the old one. Seems like they put the fresh one on top of the old one from previous night or something. I went back and got my refund. I wasted my lunch break. On top the lady who was making my salad, she was supposed to put the whole chopped chicken in my small salad box. She wasnt able to put whole chicken in the box so she gave me only half of it and I think I paid extra 3.99 for that chicken only. Gosh I am never going back to this place. Very disappointed with the service and food quality at this location.

Fresh ingredients and filling ...the two most important things in a salad. You can customize to your liking. Delicious special filled with two wrapped grapevine (grape leaves wrapped with rice inside), two scoops of sweet potato, chicken or salmon, tomatoes cucumbers, olives (or I choose avocado) with tzatziki and hummus on top.

Just order the large cob salad from Salad Days at 2 Bloor Street East and am very disappointed. Firstly, am shocked that the only ingredients that appears to constitute a large salad is the lettuce. Secondly, the avocado was rock hard which am sure they new when they were cutting into them. Thirdly, I had to ask the person making my salad for more ingredients since she was only putting 1 olive in it. I also felt she was rushing me. Av always ordered a small one and its usually been quite good and plentiful. This large salad cost me almost $10. Rang and was told I can bring it back so lets see if I will be compensated accordingly. This was supposed to be my lunch and needles to say I didnt end up having one. On returning to Salad Days, Shahd apologised. I was refunded my money and, given a free salad. Thank you Shahd for responding in the appropriate way. My 1 star has now jumped back up to 4 stars!!

Maybe other salads are better, but I ordered a large caesar salad with a chicken breast. Now, since this was a salad place I was expecting an awesome salad. What I got was a bunch of wet romaine lettuce with dry parmesan cheese, fake bacon bits, croutons, the tiniest piece of chicken I have ever seen and some dressing thrown on top. They couldnt even both to toss it up for me. I have no way to toss it in this little flimsy container. I would have been better off with a salad kit from the grocery store upstairs even if I had to eat it out of the bag. It would have cost me a ¼ of the price as well.

Possibly the best salad in the city. Always fresh and loaded with quality ingredients. I am addicted the the Cobb salad and their Dolmades. Great value at under $10.

Salad days has inconsistent service. Sometimes the salads come out really good and are fresh - and other times its not good at all. I ordered a salad through Ritual, asking for Falafal and hot sauce added - which were not included. The salad was tasteless and was missing ingredients and I threw out half of it. I called them to complain and was told by the man on the phone I didnt make the salad and Im too busy to find out. Needless to say - I will not order again from Here again. Money well wasted

Healthier choice my ass - they probably still use preservatives and crappy ingredients.

Great place to pick up a salad for lunch. Located in the concourse/path by the Bloor TTC station. Tried the large Cobb salad (included chicken, corn, olives, blue cheese, lettuce, avocados, tomatoes, and cucumber) and was very pleased with the portion. Price was under $10 after taxes. The gets busy so try to get there by 11am to avoid wait times.
