"Not recommended"
"I really wanted to like this place "
"What a wonderful place with so many great flavors and options to choose from"
"This is the strangest experience so far"
"My mom was craving a salad and I googled “best salads Edmonton” and immediately found rave reviews for The Greenhouse"
Not recommended. My partner and I had wanted to try this place for some time now after seeing they had a veg-friendly menu and what appeared to be some creative options. The menu itself is rather unclear.... Only some of the items specify they contain meat in their descriptions. They've tried to remedy this by putting pictures underneath the descriptions, but my partner overlooked this with her order (honestly I don't blame her, I didn't read 'chicken' underneath her salad where the rest of the ingredients were listed either, so I didn't even think to mention it to her). She was hungry, so assuming what was in her salad was tofu she started to dig in, only to realize she was eating chicken after a few bites. Not cool for an eatery that looks to appeal to vegetarians. She was very upset. I had the 'Pesto & Roasted Vegetable' wrap, which was mostly spinach, despite not having any mention of spinach in the description. I didn't taste pesto or hummus, and there was no cauliflower or quinoa on the wrap. The wrap was soggy, the vegetables mushy and the dressing tasteless. All this for close to $30 after tip. I love seeing more healthy and vegan/veg-friendly options in our city, but this is a great example of how NOT to do it.
I really wanted to like this place . . . . Ordered the Curry Jerk Paella, You Jerk salad, and large Lentil soup for take out. I was the only customer in the restaurant. The wait and prices were reasonable. Got home and . . . no soup. Called the restaurant, they apologized (they did have one order to deal with after all) and said that the manager would call me back to arrange a refund. The food had potential - some real nice flavors, but was sorely diminished by the use of frozen fruit and vegetables. The cauliflower in the paella was mush; the mango, while a treat to have in a salad, was so cold that it distracted from the taste (nice dressing). After 3 days, I had still not received a call back from the manager, so I called them. The pleasant woman who answered arranged for a refund of the soup and the tip.

What a wonderful place with so many great flavors and options to choose from. I loved the healthy subtitute options for people with dietary restrictions. The prices blew me away too as compared to eating out at a chain restaurant. You can tell that the owner cares about quality and wants to make it affordable for people to eat healthy. 100% recommend to everyone! Even my husband loved my leftovers and he does not usually eat cauliflower rich and greens! Just goes to show you that the flavors this place puts in the bowl are off the charts delicious!

This is the strangest experience so far. We purchased 2 salads and a wrap, my wife got "Brazilian" salad and "Cesar" wrap, I ordered "greens and protein" salad. When paying I was asked if I'm okay with steak in this salad (I specifically picked this salad for the steak part), I replied "yes". Guess what, when I got home I had only greens and an egg in the salad. It took us 30 min drive there and 30 min back just to get some greens. Wow I never had such bad luck with anyplace I went to. Brazilian salad is good, but it just completely ruins experience when you order something and do not get it. My salad is at the bottom of the picture, please find steak, lol

My mom was craving a salad and I googled “best salads Edmonton” and immediately found rave reviews for The Greenhouse. We had an incredibly delicious lunch: You Jerk Salad and Brain Food Salad. Not only were they beautifully prepared, the ingredients were so fresh and the dressings unique and sooooo flavourful. I have never had a salad this delicious! We had the opportunity to learn a bit about the origins of this brothers owned business from proprietor and Chef Mikhail. Mikhail and Amilkar are doing so many exciting things to promote nutrition and have wonderful collaborations with the local sports and fitness communities, as well as with youth. 13 years strong!

I wanted to like this place. it's right by my work and I pick up lunch for me and my significant other daily.. But to charge the price they do for a caeser salad with no protein is a no go for me. I was upset for what I paid and what I got. I was over going to superstore for their $3-5 caeser's which are actually really good. but we are at triple the price for what? I would have even been ok for $10. So we are at almost $30 (over with protein) for two average size basic caeser salads. First and only visit I guess. Also I was not a fan of the sauce. not creamy and very tart, and in my opinion there was far to much of it. wiping sauce off my lips every couple bites. but that's just me.
The food from Greenhouse is not only nutritious, but it also is incredibly flavourful and delicious. I'm so happy I found out about this place as when life is feeling busy, I now have somewhere I can grab some meals and have them ready to go. It helps me not sacrifice my health while gaining some of my time back. Every single meal I've tried has been a 10/10 so far, my only wish is that they had pasta options that were whole wheat (or kamut). Lastly, I want to say in addition to all the positives I have to say about the food, both times I've been in I've been so impressed with how personable and friendly the staff is. I'd highly recommend anyone try it out :)

The food here is so good, every dish is well seasoned and cooked properly. I go for the iron born penne or the you jerk salad! Edited: got food today and they forgot the sauce and then when I called, the person who answered the phone said the salad has never come with sauce, which is odd cause I've been ordering it for about 8 years. So disappointed in the gaslighting and cold food with no dressing.

We come here about once every month in a half for the buffet & some slots. If their slots were programed better if give it a higher rating. Lol! The buffet has pretty good food for a buffet & the price includes your non alcoholic drink too. I've never actually ordered off if the menu so I couldn't tell you how that food is & when we went for the crab night it was about a 3 hour wait to get in; we don't go on Friday nights anymore because of that.
Yesterday we had the most delicious lunch in between hockey games from The Greenhouse! The menu had something for everyone- kids, parents and grandparents. The salads/ pastas were fresh and quickly devoured. Can’t say enough about the food quality as well as the customer service! Highly recommend for a quick healthy option. We will be stopping there every time when we visit Edmonton.

Great place to eat! Healthy food that’s also quick. So far the dishes we’ve tried have been filling and deliciously flavourful! Some of us eat gluten free and dairy free, and this is one of our top places to eat when we’re in the city. So far, our favourites are the “You Jerk Salad” (sans feta) and “Two Way Iron Born Penne” with chicken. If you’re looking for healthy, quick, and delicious…this is your stop!
Ordered 10 dishes for myself and co-workers for an office lunch. Everyone found their food to be very good and had a hard time picking out what they wanted because everything sounded delicious. One order had several substitutions due to dietary restrictions and the staff were helpful in finding a workaround and the person ordering was very happy with how her dish turned out. Will definitely order again!
This place is not what it used to be, very unfortunate, two bad experiences in a row and sadly that's enough for me I won't be coming back. The owner is a great guy but there's a drop off from the people who run the kitchen during the evening. ****UPDATE, today I went in and saw the owner classy guy as always food was top-notch thanks for making it right I really appreciate your customer service.
This place is really great, it's located in the same space as the good earth. They make really delicious salads, each with loads of great ingredients and unexpected combinations. My favourite is the greens & proteins which has delicious steak, fontina cheese, edemame, nuts, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and egg. It's a fast and healthy option and the staff are always super friendly!
Very delicious! As a person with Celiac Disease, finding another safe place to eat out at is worth it's weight in gold! WTG! Will be back!

The meal prep is easy, fast, fresh and delicious. $100 for 10 meals, and for the most part I’ve found that one of their “meals” works out to two for me, so it’s well worth the price, although I know that might not be the same for everyone. Will definitely be ordering again, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you struggle grocery shopping and meal preppin.
Wow!! Just had the Jerk Salad. It did not disappoint. I called to order and the guy on the end of the phone was VERY nice and patient while I tried to figure out what I wanted. Amazing. Hoping I can stop here on my way out of Edmonton tomorrow. Please open a location in Calgary!

There is more parking around this location than the Downtown one. We did the 10 Meal Meal prep and it was consistent with other orders from Downtown. This site is in a great little spot with a patio and a coffee shop in the same building. Friendly staff. If you work in the area its recommended to grab a lunch here and try it out.
I’m not sure how the food was because after waiting for 7 minutes with no one coming to our table we left. If this is a self serve, a menu at the till would make it a bit more clear. Another option is letting people know. There was no one else inside the restaurant when we were there..

This place is amazing! At first glance, some of the combinations of ingredients seem a bit unorthodox, but they all come together wonderfully! My fussy eater of a husband is also obsessed - We could eat here everyday! The nutritional value is a great bonus and allows an evening of ordering out to be guilt free.
Great, healthy, affordable, tasty food. Had the jerk chicken curry paella bowl and my friend had the jerk chicken wrap. Awesome!

Amazing find attached to hotel. Food is so good! Lots of flavor and good size portions. Brought lunch over to the hospital for my husband and the nurses were envious and it sure beat the lunch provided for patients. Will probably buy their 10 for $100 (think that was what I saw) to bring home.
I'm glad they opened another location on the southside of the city. I used to frequently go to the downtown location before it closed down. My favourite dish is the curry jerk paella. It's tasty and very filling.

The food was delightful, the staff are very friendly. We stayed in to eat. The drink cooler in the front had a pot in it with tin foil and some other regular kitchen stuff. A simple tidy up of the area would make it more eat in friendly. But for grab n go or order out.... great freshness.
Thanks so much for your delivery of delicious healthy meals for the week! Avoiding the cold weather has resulted in a full fridge with a selection of nutritious items that will make the upcoming days much simpler while supporting a local business and my healthy nutrition goals.
Refreshing and creative menu! Great location and the cook was very helpful. We visited at around 8ish pm and the food was tasty and quickly done. Conveniently located beside is the corner pub which has Alley Cat beers on tap. Would visit again for sure …
Healthy & fresh with great service. Can’t go wrong. Easily customized to be vegan. Check this place out!

Wraps and salad are amazing here! They recently moved from UofA area where I heard they had an amazing reputation. My coworker actually said their Caesar salad is so unreal, people called it "crack salad" at UofA hospital lol
Delicious and healthy. I had the Brain Food salad (lovely dressing, large piece of fish) and Hungarian Goulash soup (sweet and great texture). Slightly pricey, but with it being fresh, healthy, and flavourful it was worth it.
10/10 !!! Came here after an appointment with my girlfriend. She had the alfredo bowl and I had the jerk chicken rice bowl. BOTH ARE SO GOOD!!!! Definitely coming back. Nice workers too, place is cute and comfortable. More
Delicious food, warm and friendly atmosphere. Any item on the menu could be veganised which is a bonus. They offer seriously healthy food here, a must try. Missed taking photos of some other foods. Price is reasonable.
Ate here many times. They have a wide selection of healthy dishes. There soups are made in house, and are quite delicious. If you are looking for fast, healthy, and eclectic food, this is a good spot.
food was ok but man is it overpriced. hard to swallow on a student budget. over $30 for 2 people and we left with our bellies just half full. i guess that's the price you pay for eating out healthy
Their chicken caesar wrap was delicious and packed full of fresh meat and veggies. My kiddos also loved the balsamic pasta! I like the halthy and delicious options. Can't wait to come back again!
Went for the first time today and it was simply delicious! Very flavourful and great portions !!! Will definitely return!

I love this place! I've tried a few dishes from them and they always taste great and are reasonably priced! It also feels much healthier than going to most other fast food places.
WOW!! How did I not know about this place before?! Absolutely marvellous salads! My favourite the “you jerk salad” is a go to. Fresh ingredients, quick and friendly service. More
Always consistent and always fresh, if I either visit daily or if it's once in awhile. All the bowls are tasty and healthy, great customization/substitutions to fit your macros.
Wow absolutely Delicious. Could eat the you jerk salad every day.

Great Keto options. They have cauliflower rice and you can sub a side of raw veggies for things like pita bread on a spin dip. The only awful thing is the parking.
This place has literally the best salad in Edmonton. Delicious, clean and healthy. The kictcken is spotless. Reccomend the Jerk salad. It's the best you will have.
Love it so much. The AC could be a bit more effective but the menu has something for everything. The food decor and service were great. Will absolutely go back.
Always have a great meal here. You-Jerk salad with extra protein is my choice and it is amazing. The guys are friendly and fast and the salad is always amazing

Delicious, fresh and healthy! Such a gem of a spot. The jerk chicken salad is mind blowing! Healthy eating doesn't have to be boring.
I felt like my mama made me this food. Ain’t nothing like mamas food. My favourite spot in the city. Thank you for serving a purpose.
The food is really overpriced. Don't get me wrong, it tastes good, but the price is not adequate for the type of service they offer.
Omg these salads here are amazing. You have to try one. Everything I've eaten here is excellent, and it's vegetarian friendly!

Great place to eat. Healthy vegan options. Great people work here as well. …
Good, but seriously 15 bucks for a rice bowl with only 4 shrimp... Not worth it!
Delicious food. People are friendly and keep this place really well maintained.
Really good food for a competitive price, considering it's basically on campus.
Lovely food, lovely service. Above and beyond. Vegetarian fare is excellent!
