    Build your own bowl
    Joe V.

    Always an excellent meal. Great Mediterranean food with a variety of bowls. They do a great vanilla cardamom coffee and baklava. They've also had some delicious soups. We go frequently and our daughter is there weekly when she is in college at the University of Albany.

    I love this place. The roasted tomato soup is killer and I love the flavorful sauces and all the add ons Lots of food for $12 I'm from SF which is known for its food, and coming to Albany--a place arguably not known for its food--- is made such a more pleasant experience knowing there is high quality delicious food

    One of the most delightful local chains in the Capital Region! Very reasonably priced food with fresh, delicious ingredients. Cute branding and great service. Definitely get the lentils!

    Simone's Kitchen is a Mediterranean inspired fast casual restaurant in Albany. The interior alone makes you feel as if you're somewhere in Greece. I got the falafel bowl which I enjoyed. They also have some really nice fresh juices that were very tasty! Overall highly recommend!

    What a gem! We loved our make your own bowls here, the employees were so nice helping us select toppings and sauces. Everything tasted exceptionally fresh and delicious. There are truly options for everyone here. Ordering was easy and there were plenty of tables inside or easy to take the food to go as well. We can't wait to return and have told others to check it out. The portions are perfect.

    Big chicken shawarma bowl with some pickled peppers and onions. Plenty of food.

    Excellent food, the line was fast even during dinner rush. The employees are very efficient and kind. I only wish there was outdoor seating because it was nice out. Indoor ambiance is good, but pretty cramped because the line was out the door.

    Make your own- vegetarian. I did black lentils and tofu for loads of protein.  Excellent toppings!!

    Excellent bowl options for vegetarians. I used black lentils instead of rice or couscous to up my protein, plus harissa tofu, which was a nice portion. You get choice of small salad topping like tabbouleh, then more toppings like olives. And then more toppings including hummus and dressing!! Very tasty- couldn't finish it all, and I usually can. Small slice moist side bread in foil, too. Total about $17 with tip.

    Big Chicken Shawarma

    Good recommendation from a coworker! This place is like chipotle but just Mediterranean choices. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl. Basically has chicken, white basmati rice which i love, fresh veggie, potatoes, garlic sauce and you have choice if spicy or not. I chose spicy. I would say this is really yummy. It is just a bit salty, not sure if the chicken or sauce. They give you a side of pita bread which is perfect to dip in the sauce or make it a sandwich. Im excited to try the other varieties they have. The service is great. The place looks really nice. It's something you could meet up with friends. Could be fast food but with class. Conveniently located by the Stuyvesant Plaza.

    I've been on the search for a place like Mezeh which is in the city and Simone's kitchen definitely satisfies my cravings for a Mediterranean bowl! I'm glad they brought a location so close by in Stuyvesant plaza. The food is great and they have a good variety of choices to add into your bowl! The side of pita is also good too! My friends tried their small plates and baklava which looked delicious and I know I'll definitely be back again! All the workers were so friendly and the restaurant is so cute and open for casual eating with friends!

But even still they kept telling me I could add more veggies. Even after it cooked by bowl was FULL. I couldn't come close to eating it all and was able to have it the next day for dinner. Plenty of sauce - not dry at all. I got sriracha ginger, not very spicy just FYI. Everything was cooked well - and fast. They even bring your food to your table. I was shocked how good the food was. They also use compostable bowls/lids, which was another nice touch. I even got a soda and the total was only $13!!!!

Place was cute and inviting. Loved the fact you can pick as many veggies as you want in your stir fry or salad. I went with a chicken and veggie stir fry with spicy Chajang Gochu sauce. Hubs got chicken and veggie stir fry with the siracha ginger sauce along with an order of the pork potstickers. Sauce for potstickers was delicious. Bowls were also very good mine a little sweeter but more spicy. If you like ice tea highly recommend their teas that are brewed in house. Mango green tea was delish and peach oolong tea was good a little too sweet for me but good flavor. Definitely recommend this place and we will be back.

    I stopped in on a weeknight and ordered from the kiosk. I got the Grilled Chicken Signature Bol,…read morewhich is chicken, white rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta and their signature white sauce. I also ordered a side of pita and hummus. I was dining in and waited less than 10 minutes for my food. The portion was absolutely HUGE! I couldn't believe it. I barely made a dent in it! It tasted fresh and the sauce was really tasty. The pita and hummus were also fresh too. I grabbed a box for my leftovers and had another meal out of it. Overall, the place was clean, there was enough seating if you're dining in, the food was fresh and ordering was extremely easy. Definitely recommend!

The restaurant is clean and bright and comfortable. You can order either from the kiosk at the side, or at the counter - and they're really helpful at the counter. I crafted a bowl with grilled chicken. I was expecting the chicken to have a slightly stronger flavor, but all the extra items in the bowl plus the sauces I requested really enhanced the flavor. I'm a big fan of their hummus, and I'm almost addicted to their house white sauce, which has just the right amount of garlic in it. Their cucumber mint iced tea also has a great flavor, though I do find it a bit sweet. Be aware that it might take a few minutes for your order to be ready. Bowls with cooked ingredients will take slightly longer. Plus, they are already doing a huge take-out business, so you can't judge only by the number of customers sitting in the restaurant. This is a wonderful addition to the area, and I look forward to many more meals here.

This is one of the best brunch spots in the Capital Region!! Whatever you do, dont forget to order a cocktail (Mermaid Tears is my fav) The photos are from my last visit. We went on Mother's Day with no reservation and they still found seating for us. The servers are always knowledgeable about the menu and the food tastes so fresh. It's hard to choose what to eat when I go because the whole menu is so good!!

As I waited for the hostess she was clearly overwhelmed and couldn't eek out a smile to any of the people she greeted. In the lively restaurant, a few tables of girls-night out, birthday dinners, couples both young & old, bar seating with the World Cup on TV. Our server was very pleasant. The food was good, by Albany standards, heavy on the butter, salt and cream. It wasn't bad but for me they could pull back on the richness and let the herbs/mushrooms/fish/etc shine through. 2 out of the 3 us intentionally only ate half our portions, planning to eat the rest "tomorrow" and told the server we wanted to box them togo. She offered to do that for us, while we were happily chatting, sipping the rest of our wine. When the boxes didn't reappear, the server apologized that someone threw the boxes away. It was disappointing, especially when we paid $25-28 dollars for our plates of pasta. Based on the overworked hostess and server, management needs to adjust their staffing to insure a better customer experience. When they toss out leftovers, not just a single bite, but huge plate of food, it would seem appropriate to provide a "peace offering" perhaps put a small dessert togo or certificate for a free appetizer on a future visit. If I was local I'd probably return.

    We were in town here grabbing some dinner with my nephew who is a student at RPI. It's been forever…read moresince I've been at a mall, but there was plenty of parking despite the rainy weather, and we got into here quickly for a table for dinner. Their dessert case right in front of the entrance was taunting me.... We were seated and greeted by Sang Jun, who was fantastic. It turns out that we are all Korean, we figured that out at the end of the meal but he was amazing as a server. Never needed to ask for anything, made several recommendations, and we had a really great meal and evening. The menu is giant! Come hungry for sure! I started out with a margarita flight, which was not only beautiful, but delicious. We started out with the ahi tuna nachos, which was delicious and beautiful. Scallions, tuna, fried wonton skins as chips, jalapeños and sauce that made it all worth every calorie. I ignored the jalapeños, but still inhaled the tuna and everything else. Crowd pleaser for sure. My nephew got the salmon special, served with sweet potatoes. I ordered the bang bang shrimp and chicken that came with lo mein. The sauce was a Thai curry base and has veggies and was literally inhale-able. I ate the proteins (cooked perfectly) and some of the noodles, then ended up eating the leftover noodles the next morning. Still just as good cold out of the fridge! My brother got the ramen. They were out of the pork (or it was off the menu) so he went with the beef. That looked so good, bowl was filled to brim with noodles, garnishes, and beef. It was perfect since he wasn't feeling well. My nephew decided halfway thru his salmon dish he wanted a side Caesar salad and Sang Jun brought one tha looked like it was made for the Internet. Well plated and giant portion. We were absolutely stuffed so we had no room for desserts, even though they looked so good in the cooler walking in. We had a nice discussion with SJ about our family trip to Korea last summer, telling him about some of the most embarrassing moments and getting a good laugh. I guess this is a chain, but I hope that I see one again. I'll be ready to have the same exact thing, or try something new- I'm sure it will be amazing. Thanks to the team and Sang Jun for a memorable meal here in Albany!
