We had a fun adventure for dinner yesterday! We did a 6 course tasting menu at West Side Bazaar and…read morethe meal was prepared by Mahbobas Kitchen. It was an Afghan dinner and it was delicious and incredibly flavorful. If you have never been to the Bazaar get there! It's like a mall food court with 8 different ethnic restaurants. All of them showcasing amazing food. There are also a few shops there selling soap, clothes, jewelry, Buffalo items etc. The Bazaar is doing more and more events like these and I want to check them out, it was also surprisingly affordable!

Everything was outstanding, and full of flavor! My husband visited "Egyptian Bites" for their shrimp curry. Although he was warned by the chef it was spicy, we found it to be less so than Tapatio sauce (which is milder than Tabasco). YMMV. It was so good!!

As of now, there is a vegetarian place, a Somali, Pakistani/Indian, Halal Thai as well as a few more. I tried a lot of food from a variety of places today and the Pakistani and Indian stood out as being the most flavorful and delicious and homey. There was also a sub stand that had a crazy good deal for a lamb and beef wrap with fries and a drink for 4.99. I tried the cabbage from the Somali place which was tasty but oily. All in all-I enjoyed the concept but wish this place was a little cleaner as a whole. The bathroom being out of soap was not the best sign for me.

Convenient place before going to Canada…read more Food is way way way over priced. They don't care about the people buying because they know it's a tourist spot to get their money. THERE IS ADDITIONAL TOURIST TAX for each meal on top of the tax we have to pay!!! This place feels very dirty and oily and old. There is a souvenir place. Restrooms but not seat covers.

Please avoid this place if you can. There are many other restaurants that have better quality than this and is probably less expensive in the area. Convenient location though.

If this were a really amazing food court, we might congratulate it, by saying "Well Done, Galleria…read moreFood Court!" Unfortunately it's not. It's the kind of food court that makes you want to run and hide. In your den. Inside your wall. Your Wall-Den. Generally speaking a food court will always score 3 or 4. They have good selections, decent prices, and a few decent places mixed in with a few not-so-decent places. The Walden Galleria, once upon a time, was no different. Unfortunately things have changed. They have completely re-vamped the mall and a lot of more upscale shops have moved in. It's more pricey in general now, and the eating focus is on the external, attached restaurants such as PF Changs (ughh) and Texas De Brazil (yumm) and Cheesecake Factory (shrug), and so on. The Food Court is about 30% as big as I remember it. Most of the food is long gone. There are 10 places to choose from now at most, and a couple of them look closed down. The Japanese food tastes good (the Teriyaki), the Greek food is poor, the Crepes I haven't tried yet, but one thing that the whole food court has in common is that it's not as cheap as most food courts. If you combine that with the lack of choice, then it's really hard for me to give this court anything more than the rating that a Kangaroo Court would get. Having said that I love Kangaroos, so I can't imagine giving Kangaroos anything less than 5/5. And now I'm confused. Let me hop off here and try and figure it out. I need to bounce some ideas off a friend. I need to borrow a pen. Oh wait let me see if there is one in my pouch. I am not a professional food critic yet, but I am definitely a wallaby food critic. And I may not be a pro, but I am koala than a lot of the pros.

I don't spend a lot of time in Mall Food Courts. However, this one I have now been to a few times…read more This review is of the food court overall. Its a large space on the second floor of the mall. The vendors are on the outside, with chairs and seating areas inside. When I have been in the eating area has been well maintained. Even when people don't clear their own tables, a mall employee does it quickly. The tables have been wiped down when I was there. Also, its not too loud here. The tables are not on top of each other, and overall the space is well designed and sound well managed. There are restrooms near this area which have been clean when I have been there as well. There are a number of sit down and table service restaurants in this area as well. Id come here again. The food court has something for everyone: Arby's Charley's Steakery Easy Wok Mr. Smoothie Nick Charlap's Ice Cream Orazio's Italian Crepes Oyishi Japan Salsarita's Sbarro- The Italian Eatery Subway Mr. Souvlaki

I wanted specifically to review the exceptional changing room in the food court. I was amazed at…read morehow cool it was. Easy to get the stroller in, a nice secure table and a sink. A curtain to hide without having a door to go through (awkward with a stroller) and a curved glass block wall to let in light. Great. The rest of the mall is nice, clean, easy to get around with lots of store. This place is huge. Dave and Busters is fun. escalators are pretty easy to find (again the stroller). Bathrooms were clean and can accommodate many. Good variety at the food court. Large parking lot surrounding the entire mall with many entrances. Easy access from the highway, dedicated entrance from the I-190.

This is the kind of mall you'd see in a movie. I remember going to this mall in high school and…read morecollege and it was one of the coolest places to be. Fast forward to today and it is still a cool place AND most importantly, it still is open with a bunch of new stores. I think what makes this mall special is the collection of things it has in and around it. The restaurants here are all really good if you need any ideas for dinner. The stores are all good size and there's a movie theater. That's my main reason I have been there a lot recently. It is a huge mall and they're open early for folks just to walk around before stores opening. There really is something for everyone at this mall and I am glad it's still open and continuing to keep improving with new stores opening up.

They even have now a spot that sells wine and you can even do wine tasting there Both me and my wife did some shopping and found some good deals there Service at the store is attentive and they are always looking for their commission so expect those that are looking for a sale to ask if you need help The shopping trip was quiet given we went over the winter but in the summer, look out, as it is super busy there Overall a fun shopping experience

I went on a weekday around lunch time and it was basically dead in the mall and definitely in the food court.

The mall was very clean, very modern/up-to-date with the décor and a offered a comfortable, safe shopping experience.

Horsefeathers market has been on my list to checkout for 2 years now but I hadn't been until today…read more I regret not checking this out sooner, they feature awesome vendors that I hadn't heard of until today, and many will have me coming back. Enter through the Normal St entrance. The ground floor has a restaurant, and there were two tables setup- one for Blue Table Chocolates with their amazing truffles (and yes they offer free samples!), and Green Heron Growers which has coolers of meat, some frozen soups to go, maple syrup, maple jerky, and more. There are two stairways and you can take either to get downstairs. I don't know if there's an elevator. Downstairs there's a few more vendors, but not as many as I had hoped, which is why I'm only giving them 4 stars. There was: - The Rogue Cellar (vegan international bake goods) - Dharna Kombucha - Overwinter coffee (pour over and beans) - a jewelry table - a soap table - Pastry by Camille (macaroons and donuts) Dharna kombucha was delicious and they offer samples too. I left with a bottle of the Rosemary Orange after trying it, so good! There were also samples out on the Rogue Cellar Table, and I left with a pop tart and their whiskey salted caramels- both amazing! Stopped by the Overwinter coffee table and it was neat watching them make my pour over coffee, and it tasted delicious too! Also got chocolates from Blue Table (upstairs) and shiitake-barley soup from Green Heron Growers (upstairs). Everything I got today will have me coming back for more! I highly recommend stopping by next Saturday and checking them out for yourself!
