What to Eat at Healthy & Co - DIFC How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Healthy & Co - DIFC, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Teriyaki salmon bowl Net −1
“I ordered the teriyaki salmon bowl. I told the gentleman and was waiting for him to come so I can slightly adjust but they went to the back to make or add stuff, I don’t know. I wasn’t acknowledged after that. It comes with brown rice and i wanted to request white rice because brown rice is difficult for me to digest but after I said I wanted the bowl he walked away and I didn’t have any interaction after until it was finished in front of me. I told them I cannot eat brown rice, they said why didn’t I say at first. I was simply waiting for him to come back because he just walked away after I said I wanted this bowl. Usually they will have the bowl and start to put the ingredients right in front of you. They said they can’t do much except give me other rice on the inside for an additional 7 dirham…. I mean? And also once I received the bowl it had such a small piece of salmon. The bowl is 49 dirham for god sake. In the image they advertise it is an entire piece of salmon. Will not be returning. I don’t recommend ordering any of their pre made items. Taste is not good either for 49 dirham. Very disappointed because I liked their bowl from before but I guess quality and service has gone down. I’m stuck with a bowl that i can only eat the toppings for 49 dirham. Also go add the toppings they put are barley there. Like ridiculous price for such little portion. Just stacked in the rice and are overcharging.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm swaps. If you need an ingredient change, confirm it before preparation starts; one rice substitution later cost extra.
Check orders. Check customized bowls for missing ingredients before leaving or accepting delivery.
Allow time. Build in extra time at busy periods, as one visitor needed to repeat the order three times.
Inspect greens. Look over lettuce and vegetables when your order arrives, given multiple freshness complaints.
Use caution. For time-sensitive meals, consider ordering in person rather than relying on online delivery.

The Bottom Line
Healthy & Co suits DIFC office workers looking for a customizable, lighter meal rather than a fixed plate. The ordering system works a little like Subway: you choose the components, and the restaurant can measure ingredients if you are following a specific programme. Reviews also mention the sombrero chicken bowl, Thai shrimp curry, fairy salmon wrap and avo Caesar salad, giving regulars several distinct starting points.
The strongest pattern is friendly, patient service and food that many customers describe as fresh, tasty and filling. It is the sort of place people return to for weekday lunches, and the staff are often praised for explaining the choices to first-time visitors. The menu’s healthy focus also suits customers following vegan, keto or low-carb plans, based on the business’s own description.
There are some important caveats. Delivery has been reported to take more than two hours, while customized or delivered orders have occasionally missed ingredients. Food quality has also been inconsistent: reviews mention brown lettuce, poor Brussels sprouts, rubbery or dry chicken, and crunchy rice.
One customer found the salmon bowl portion much smaller than its menu image and objected to a 7-dirham rice-change charge, so confirm customizations and check the order before accepting it.
