13 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Albany

“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!“

“Such good fries- such great service- a gem in downtown“

“Terrific food, great service!“

“Probably the best chicken over rice I’ve had... I’m even putting this above halal guys in NYC. Not to mention great customer service, was given fried chicken while waiting for our food to come out 🙌🏻 seriously delicious. Great food and people! Will be coming back.“

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!“

“Very good and fresh! I really dislike the mall, I also usually really dislike mall food court eats. However, really good Guatemalan taco place with empanadas, falafel and gyros!!!! Super nice people running the place, and best mall food court lunch you can imagine.

This place might actually bring me back to do shopping just to grab food, honestly. I noticed a GrubHub sign, to add.“

“We had a large order for an office party we had on Halloween and the pizza and wings were great! I placed my order with Lisa ahead of time and she was awesome. Our order was ready, in full, on time! Everyone loved the pizza (we ordered cheese, pepperoni, broccoli ricotta, chicken bacon ranch, and meat lovers). The wings were crispy with meat on them (we had mild, honey bbq, and garlic parm). I give them A++ and we will be ordering from them again in the future. Thanks again!“

“Best brunch ever come get bottomless mimosas“

“This is a MUST every time we travel down from Maine to visit friends. Amazing food, creative wine selection, and the BEST service. We are customers for life ❤️thank you Athos! Ali, (aka Bob Ross), keep on keeping on!“

“Wonderful service and outstanding food. I had swordfish that was incredible and my husband had salmon that was delicious. Fresh, wonderful veggies and the best and friendliest service.“

“Our lunch experience at this restaurant was a satisfying one. We dined with family. The place is simple with minimal decor and basic seating.
While we placed our order at the counter, the food was served at the table without much waiting.
The lamb shank over rice was very good so also the other dishes. Reasonable portions and quite authentic flavors made the dining special. Priced reasonably, one can enjoy a hearty meal for as little as $20.“

“Best coffee in Albany, flavor and comfort guaranteed!“
