Poway, California, has so much to offer—especially when it comes to food!
I’ll admit that I’m partial to Mexican cuisine (it’s my favorite part about San Diego), but Poway also has several amazing restaurants that specialize in healthy food. From superfoods to vegan meals and from grilled dishes to fresh sushi, Poway has something healthy for everyone.
So if you’re a health nut who’s on the hunt for fresh, delicious menu items in Poway, this list is for you.
Plant-Based Smoothies & Clean Eats
Curb-Side Pickup and Delivery Only
This health-food restaurant right off Poway Road offers a wide range of healthy foods for breakfast and lunch, but their specialty is delicious green smoothies that promote healing.
When you order a blended smoothie, you can choose from a variety of add-ons, including maca, acai, lemongrass express, and more. Plus, they offer several unique blends of teas, coffees, and kombucha.
Luna Grill: Mediterranean Kitchen
Dine-In, Curbside Pickup, and Delivery Available
Luna Grill in Poway offers a range of Mediterranean cuisine, including kabobs, gourmet salads, hummus, house-made falafel, pita wraps, and more. The fresh fruits and vegetables, along with healthy fats, make these meals a must for every health-conscious eater.
You can feel good about your menu choice when eating at Luna Grill because they pride themselves in only using real food free of hormones, GMOs and preservatives wherever possible.
Everbowl
Dine-In and Takeout Only
Everbowl offers superfood bowls and blended drinks packed with nutrients. To order a superfood bowl, you start by choosing a blended base of acai, pitaya, chia pudding, matcha, coconut/tropical blend, or superfood algae.

The Grillery
Takeout Only
Avoid the carbs when you choose healthy menu options from The Grillery. Poway residents have been enjoying this restaurant’s grilled cuisine since it opened in 2000. While The Grillery does offer typical items such as burgers and sandwiches, it also serves a wide variety of healthy options, including salads, bentos, and bowls.
