Honghui Yu: Perfect place for a quick and healthy lunch if you're in the area.
Noah Weiss: The best salad in Soho that won't cost you $20. Ignore the organic propaganda, just focus on how good it tastes. Guacamole greens, kale caesar, and whatever the monthly special is are great.
Varun Shetty: If Gwyneth Paltrow made you salads, she'd make you these salads. The fall special apple pear pecan salad is great. Earth bowl is solid too

AmateurConcierge: Healthy lunch place with a protein selection and a couple of veggie based sides for only $10
Camillionz: well balanced meal: get a bowl and have brown rice, a nice protein (I like the salmon and grilled chicken thighs) and yummy seasonal veggies. Line can be long at lunch time!
PureWow: There’s nothing wrong with eating the same romaine salad with tomato, cucumber and feta every day, but this organic eatery has a rotating selection of organic, locally sourced mains and sides for $10. Read more.

Chavelli: Perfect for a healthy lunch, just make sure to get there before 4pm and brave the line, its worth it! Special Pondicherry is my go-to dish.
NYC Parks: The Special Pondicherry Dosa and a Samosa is a good place to start, though you should try it all. Just be prepared to wait on line. It is a good idea to go a little ahead or after the main lunch rush.

Celena Chan: I love the chicken curry salad here-- large portions and very filling. The BMW bar is hearty and a favorite of mine as well. A great healthy lunch option in midtown!
