Neda Persian Kitchen opened in the former Little Bites & More space in Latham. The front parking…read morelot is a bit tight with very limited parking spaces, more parking in back of business. The place was redone with a cozy dining room and the order counter towards the back. You order and pay at the counter first, then take a seat and your food is brought out to you. The menu offerings include kabobs, salad bowls, sandwiches, Persian side dishes, daily special entrees and cooler drinks (Pepsi products). The pricing is moderate, most $12-$22. I stopped by Neda for dinner recently. At the counter, I ordered the Kofteh ($16 plus tax) served with rice and salad, which happened to be a daily special offering. Be aware that they will add a 3 percent credit card surcharge on top of the total (including tax and tip) and they really should post signage at the register about the surcharge. Anyways, I took a seat in the dining area and my food was brought out to me all at once with special sauces including their spicy sauce (green). The Kofteh was comprised of 3 tender beef meatballs (grainy texture) smothered in a savory orange sauce with yellow split peas, topped with potato sticks. The side of rice was a good portion filling up much of the square plate. The side salad had chopped romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes. red onions, and seasonings. After I was done, I was able to head out quickly and on my way.

There is one closer to me so I think I will be visiting there real soon. I got a toasty Big Chicken Shawarma wrap. It was stuffed full of fresh ingredients. Every single ingredient complimented the other I can't even describe it. It was a nice size and I ate it all. Absolutely delicious. I don't think I've had a toastier wrap ever. It was perfect. Pics included! A nice relaxed atmosphere with apparently several locations. I would encourage you to try one!

I ordered dolma, which is rice wrapped in banana leaves and covered in a sour sauce of sorts. Very well priced, and tasted great. I also ordered chicken kebab, which the taste of the meat blew me out of the water. It was crisp, well heated, and deep in flavor. I noticed a lot of take-outs and delivery. I sat in, and I had to buy bottled water since they supposedly don't give tap. My dishes were served in paper plates and plastic utensils. I recommend doing delivery here.

The chicken was freshly cooked and I like that. All the flavors together is just a nice thing to have. I will definitely go back even though it is a little bit out of my way.

As soon as I read some reviews and looked at Bol's menu, I made it a point to get over there as…read moreconveniently as possible to begin enjoying their food. 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.

All of their proteins have enough distinct flavor that they actually taste different and there is enough topping variety to keep it interesting from one visit to the next.

At lunchtime it was super busy but very organized. The staff here appear good under pressure and the service is top notch. As I placed my order, the individuals behind the counter were friendly as well as attentive and very helpful. I can be picky, and always ask for extra greens whenever possible. I also like a generous amount of hummus and tahini when I get a Mediterranean bowl. Their chicken shawarma bowl, Greek meatball bowl and create your own bowl were all outstanding. You pretty much have the option of customizing just about anything you order, and they are happy to do it for you. The cleanliness factor here does not go unnoticed and I appreciate seeing the fresh produce and prepping and chopping that happens in front of you. There's also a good amount of drinks and pastries which I will try on my next visit. Their menu has endless possibilities and I will work my way through it haha. I almost forgot to mention how refreshing their iced cardamom tea was, wow! The food freshness here was big for me. I love it when I find a place that is tasty and healthful so I can go often and be guilt free. I will be back soon, probably next week!
