Toma’s Salad Shop

We have eaten here several times. Always perfection… Love the service, great atmosphere and outstanding food!

Pretty awesome salad! I had the Greek salad on romaine with chicken. The salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. I loved that everything was chopped up. As others have said, the salad without dressing is fantastic. However, their dressing is so good it enhances the taste. I can’t wait until I’m back in the area to explore more of the menu.

I needed to find a place to have lunch in Troy that could accommodate my restrictive diet. Salads are usually the way to go, because it’s hard to mess up raw veggies. So I got on Unilocal and decided Toma’s fit the bill.
Toma’s is tucked away in the corner of the mall. Not a fancy place, but we were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in the door and beckoned to a table. They’re very friendly there. The food came out fast. The price is very reasonable. Everything is going right for this place.
Hubby got the chicken schwarma. He said it tasted great. I could have gotten a salad, but I saw that there were stir fries available also. I asked if the brown rice had anything added to it. No, just rice. Fabulous! So I got a stir fry instead. A choice of which veggies, and salmon, too. Hold the teriyaki sauce! It came with a very delicious looking but gluten-​filled pita that I took home for hubby to have later.
The rice was certainly hot enough to melt my coconut oil into my lunch. I bring that in my purse, since I can’t expect a restaurant to have that. The dish was about 60% rice and the rest was the veggies and the flaked salmon chunks. It filled a dinner size plate. Enough for three meals. I am definitely going back there again if I’m ever in the area.

Pretty happy I discovered this little gem. I love the create your own salads. Cannot believe how many toppings you get!!! Always fresh, with a huge variety of dressings.

I walked in this place thinking I’m getting lettuce on a plate out of a bag and some store bought dressing. I thought wrong!!! This place has the best salad I’ve ever tasted. I’m very picky with my salads, and wouldn’t eat them if they had even a small thing that I didn’t like.
The meat/​chicken is cooked fresh when ordered and the marinate of the meats is so good. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The dressings have so much flavor, they make every bite of the salad amazing.
They bring you the dressing bottles to your table so that you can have as much dressing as you want and whatever kind you like.
On top of everything, the salads look so appetizing. I just want to take pictures of my plate over and over again.
The workers are so nice and they make you feel welcomed. The place deserves 6 out of 5 stars.

This place is the highest rated restaurant in my area and I agree with the masses. The city of Troy is the chain restaurant capital of the Metro-​Detroit area. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the chains, as they usually offer consistent quality and polished service. That said; I live to find places like Toma’s.
It is a very simple salad shop that caters primarily to the corporate lunch crowd, and the food is rock solid. It is a Greek-​themed restaurant that serve simple, but delicious salads and homemade soups. It is tucked into a corner of one of the many strip malls that cover the city of Troy. It has the vibe of a local Coney joint, but without the Coney dogs. I am not a salad person, but I truly enjoy their salads because they are generous with portions, super fresh and are extremely customizable. More importantly, they have an awesome assortment of in-​house made sauces. My personal favorites are the Fire Tex Mex, Honey Greek and Fire Greek. Also, to top it off, each salad is served with a fluffy grilled pita so you can make a roll up if grow tired of standard fork-​to-​mouth delivery system. As you can see below, the salads are loaded with tons of fresh ingredients, but portioned in a way where you don’t get too much of one flavor. Also, the staff pleasant, and service is very fast.
I can’t say this place is somewhere you would need to go out of your way to try, but I will say that it is a must-​go if you are in the Troy area and looking for something healthy-​ish. A truly local place in a city of chain joints.

Based off of the reviews I was really excited to try this place. It’s hard to find a place that does good salads that aren’t ridiculously overpriced, and when they do stir fry too… well, I’m all about it.
The menu has a ton of options for salads and stir frys, but you can also create your own. I opted to do so and got the stir fry with brown rice, onion, green pepper, carrot, mushroom, broccoli, and sweet peas. It came out pretty quickly and was enormous! I’m a pretty big eater, and this was enough to feed me for at least a few meals!
The waitresses all were very nice and extremely attentive.
I can’t wait to come back and try something else!

I am giving five stars because this is the first time I ever got a salad and then didn’t even bother to put the dressing on it because it was so good. Although, the dressing they brought, I tasted and all 3 were outstanding (I was with 2 other people). I got the asian salad, with mixed greens and chicken. That was the best seasoned chicken I’ve ever had on a salad. They chop the whole salad up, which I love, and wish everyone would do this. I can’t wait to go back and try some more.

Manager sent the following… And won’t stop… Why not just carry Tofu? And own up to the mistake… read below. Would never support this guy. Too bad.
I apologize for your last couple visits here. We are not a chain corporation with countless resources at our disposal. I’m one man trying to bring real, whole, healthy food to people that are conscious of what they eat. I hand pick almost all of the food that comes in to Tomas! It is a painstaking task to do so but its a labor of love. Now for the fact that we do not always stock all the items on the menu, I am a small business that cannot stay afloat with any waste. I buy in proportion to my business in order to keep my product as fresh as possible and cut all waste. Tofu, to my dismay is not as popular as I had planned it would be. Therefore, it used to get thrown out often which comes at a loss. Now I buy it conservatively to avoid waste. I would be more then happy to accommodate you with tofu if you could please call ahead say an hour in advance to let me know you will be in for tofu. Kroger a is next door and that gives me time to buy it in case I don’t have any stocked.
After I received above… He sent this…
For your tip at: Tomas Salad Shop
No, YOU need to call ahead for the tofu! Your so understanding. I bet you’ve never called on McDonald’s or any other corporate chain but you feel the need to pick on us? Truly you are the reason why.

This place is AMAZING… salads are chopped super small, portions are GIGANTIC, salad dressings are delicious. Nothing near store bought stuff. Their chicken is phenomenal. Not only that but the owners and workers there are fantastic — they just come and talk to you like you’re their own family. This place is above average all around and a great value. The atmosphere is laid back and they are great with kids (little kids love seeing the flaming cheese lit!!) THIS IS A MUST TRY!!!

Well here it is my first review every after many years of Unilocaling, eating, and traveling I finally decided to start and I’m glad it’s this restaurant.
The place is located in the corner of a plaza with Kroger, ups store and cleaners. It’s kinda hard to find at first since the sign is a little small.
Inside there were booths and up in front was a selection of their homemade dressing.
Our waitress, Betty Ann, was so amazing. Since we had never been there she offered suggestions and even brought out a sample of the soup to sample since we couldn’t decide. She also gave us suggestions for what type of salad dressing that would go well with our selection. She ended up bringing out 6 dressing so that we could try. My favorite was the poppy seed, Greek, and strawberry balsamic.
We ended up creating our own salad. You get to choose your type of leaf with 6 items. I selected the romaine, red onions, tomatoes, hard boiled egg, corn, garlic toasted croutons, and blue crumbled cheese with the addition of salmon. The meat cost more depending on which one you get. The chicken is delicious since I stole some from my sister. We also got the chicken soup dumplings high was excellent to.
My favorite place to get a salad hands down.

This place is amazing! I could come here everyday and eat their salads. They have a huge variety of salads and you can even make your own. There are also over 30 dressings to choose from. I got the tex mex salad with the chicken and it was delicious. The chicken was full of flavor. Besides salads they have a long list of stir fry entrees, sandwiches and wraps, as well as some soups.
Service is great. Beth Ann is truly a delight. Will be coming back for sure.

Recently tried this place with some friends, we all ordered a different salad & sampled each. So fresh & delicious — just like their home made dressings!
The staff was super friendly, especially our server BethAnn.
I would definitely recommend this place to friends & family!

Decided to check this place out today and we loved it. I ordered a chicken stirfry which was amazing and my girlfriend ordered a build your own salad with chicken. Ok so they have all these amazing homemade dressing and we tried some which were so good. But the chicken was so flavorful that it didn’t even need dressing. This will be our new spot. Healthy food with amazing flavor. The staff was super friendly also. A must try

Quality is incredible. So many salad, and home made dressing choices. Portions are large. Very friendly staff. There’s a reason this place has so many 5 star reviews!

I’m new to the area, so still trying out new restaurants and figuring out what my go’to places for lunch will be. Based on Unilocal reviews, I decided to check out this place today. Also based on Unilocal reviews, I ordered the small Bahama Mama salad with grilled chicken and got it to go. I was a little surprised by my total ($ 12.70) since the menu lists a small salad without chicken as only $ 6.99. So I guess chicken is $ 5?
I got back to work, opened the bag, and no chicken. So much for that $ 5. There was a piece of grilled pita bread, which was super tasty. The dressing (poppy seed) was really good, and I’d love to try some of the others. The salad itself was… okay. Lots of toppings, but the pineapple and oranges were the mostly flavorless canned variety. I would have liked more nuts, or something else to cut the sweetness.
I called about the chicken, she apologized profusely and asked if I wanted to come back and get it. When I told her my lunch hour was over, she offered me free chicken on my next visit and took my name. I definitely would have preferred my money back (in whole or full), but I guess now I’ll be going back to try it again.

Been twice. I do the make your own salad which you pick the lettuce and 6 toppings. Doesn’t sound like much but you end up with a huge salad for $ 7. They also have premade concoctions which sound tasty.
They have 3 different types of lettuce, probably 30 toppings, a few premium toppings and over 30 different types of dressing which all come on the side. Order more than one dressing and you can test out which one you prefer.
All salads come with a piece of pita. If you prefer, you have make it a pasta salad instead of lettuce. Yum.

Wow, really, really, really good! Fresh vegetables, and my Greek Salad was topped with grilled marinated chicken. Chicken was cooked to order, and the salad comes with all the ingredients chopped. Although I sampled just a bit of both the Spinach Greek and Greek dressings, (which were both very good, and homemade), the Greek Salad with grilled chicken didn’t need dressing! Flavors were wonderful. The portion size could easily accommodate sharing (I only ate less than half a small). I can not wait to go back and try a different salad. Staff was very friendly and helpful, which was great as the menu can be a little intimidating. Lots and lots of choices.

I visited this restaurant today and was blown away by the quality of the food and friendliness of our server. Beth Ann made us feel like family. The restaurant has been open for only 4 months so is a bit hard to find nestled away in a corner of the shipping center, but it is well worth the trip. They specialize in salads, sandwiches, stir fry and“saraps”, which are salad wraps.
The menu is large and contains a vast array of delicious possibilities. Beth Ann took us through the menu, asking what we liked and then recommending dishes. We took be recommendations and tried the chicken dumpling soup and lemon rice soup. So good. She told us that the food was all freshly prepared and healthy as well as being delicious. They even create and make their own dressings, of which there are over 30 varieties.
We loved the Bahama mama salad with grilled chicken. This includes Michigan cherries, almonds, walnuts, pecans, mandarin orange, pineapple and coconut. Scrumptious. We also got the Greek salad and a gyro to share. The salads are huge and a small can satisfy 3 people. The meal also cane with warm pita bread. The strawberry Greek dressing was our favorite. We ended up taking food home to eat later and are still talking about how great the food was and how wonderful beth Ann was. We met her mother and nephew as well.
This was a special occasion made even more special by the wonderful feast and service. There are currently two other locations: Southfield and Brighton.
hank you salad shop. We can’t wait to return!

New place. Finally open. Great food, friendly service, GINORMOUS portions. The menu is a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, there is everything from sandwiches, soups, wraps (called salaps), and so called stir-​frys, though not really Asian ingredients. Prices are good, especially for the volume you get.
There is a veritable plethora of salad dressing options, and when you dine in, they bring you many many to try.
Bathrooms are neat and clean, and even have mouthwash to clear out your anchovy-​caesar breath before you go back to work.
Great new lunch place. I will definitely be back!
