Sala Mediterranean Grill, a new counter-service restaurant in Walnut Creek, offers high-quality, customizable Mediterranean food at affordable prices. - The restaurant operates like Chipotle, allowing customers to build bowls or pitas with a choice of bases, proteins (lamb, chicken, falafel, etc.), and toppings.
- Food quality is comparable to upscale sit-down restaurants, with generous portions for under $20. - Downsides include no liquor license yet, limited parking, and soft-serve ice cream not yet available.
- The spot is already popular, with lines forming on weekends, but offers a casual alternative to expensive Mediterranean eateries in the area.
