Warm up with Marge’s famous Turkey Chili, made fresh every morning. Born as a soup, upgraded to a bowl because you wouldn’t stop ordering it.

Turkey Chili Fiesta Bowl:
Brown rice, avocado, corn, cheddar, plus optional SOMA Spice for a little heat. Perfect for cold-weather cravings.

MEET OUR POWER BOWL 💪🥗

We teamed up with Mr. Strong New York himself — the guy who once swore he’d never eat salads. He used to say most were just empty calories and heavy dressings… until he met SOMA.

At SOMA, we don’t use seed oils — ever. Everything is made fresh, roasted, and marinated with the cleanest ingredients possible. Our dressings are made from scratch every morning. No shortcuts. No fillers. Just real food.

Together, we created a bowl he’d actually eat: high in protein, full of fiber, low in carbs, and designed to leave you feeling rejuvenated, energized, fresh — and, of course, strong.

SOMA started with a love for salads.
Growing up, Kristin’s mom, Margie, was always testing new dressings, adding new fruits, creating what her family and friends lovingly called “The Marge Salad”. It became a ritual: simple ingredients, mixed with care, that somehow always tasted perfect. That love for freshness and balance stayed with Kristin and eventually became the heart of SOMA.

After years working in hospitality, Kristin noticed something missing in Midtown Manhattan — especially after COVID. So many local spots never reopened, and the ones that did didn’t feel truly clean. Even the “healthy” options left her feeling heavy or sluggish. She wanted food that matched her lifestyle — fast, fresh, and made with integrity.

That vision became SOMA — named after the Greek word for body.
Built on the idea that what you feed your body shapes your mind and mood, SOMA was designed to feel like a visual exhale: calm, simple, and nourishing. Fewer choices, better ingredients, made exceptionally well.

Today, Kristin and her mom run SOMA side by side. Margie left her longtime career in New Jersey to run the kitchen, creating every dressing and marinade by hand. Together, they’ve built a menu rooted in simplicity — no seed oils, no preservatives, no shortcuts. Every dressing is made fresh each morning with less than five ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, fresh herbs, and produce delivered daily.

At SOMA, we believe the perfect salad is the perfect balance — sweet, savory, and always a little crunch.
We believe less is more.
And we believe you can taste the difference when something is made with heart.

SOMA — food for the mind, body, and salad.❤️
