My friends told me, they won't say "taking lunch" but is "having lunch". Really?

Yes. "Having lunch" is much more usual in ordinary conversation (at least in my experience).

I understand "taking lunch", but I doubt I'd ever say it*. To me it sounds upper class or old-fashioned.

* Edit: except facetiously.
