27 Best Salad Restaurants in Albany

“Amazing place and they have lots of vegan options- go!“

“My favorite place in the area, as the food is always fresh and delicious! The portions are huge and Sal and his staff are amazing; he can come up with anything even if it’s not listed on the menu. They get busy with lunch rush from the hospital and still manage to get everyone in and out. I highly recommend their spicy falafel gyro! My daughter loves their chopped salmon and her best friend is obsessed with the chopped cheese sandwiches. It gives NYC deli vibes. I come here for lunch every week and have yet to leave unsatisfied. They have vegan options as well and there is something for everyone here.“

“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!“

“Looking for a spot to get a quick lunch. My son suggested this place. Food was great, service was quick, friendly staff and very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!“

“Best food. Best price. Great atmosphere“

“custimer service is excellant but most of all their pizza is the best of the of the best keep the good work up you all rock“

“Greg and his entire staff did an amazing job on my husband's party! Everything was great! The food was phenomenal and the service couldn't have been better! Please contact Greg for parties or catering! You will not be disappointed!“

“Consistently awesome food at this place. The hummus is soooo delish and creamy, and the pita to dip in it is fresh and tasty. You can (and should) double dip in the hummus; it’s worth it.

Falafel pita sandwich is awesome with the crispy pita chips to dip in the afore mentioned hummus, and the baba ghanoush is super tasty.

Take out only. But the owner is super friendly when you go in to pick up your food. It’s clear he is a master at cheffing up high quality middle eastern cuisine. Highly recommend.“

“The food was tasty, clean and fresh!! Lots of choices, plenty of room to sit. They even had dessert!! Plenty of food for a fair price. I’ll be back for more.“

“I like to go to this place for their various flavors of smoothies that can be made vegan with vegan protein powder added. The dragonfruit and apple pie ones are my favorite, though pina colada is good too. I've also tried their salad bowl. I think it's a bit small with limited seating, but not an issue if you get beverages or food to go.“

“Always a hit when I go here!!! I like an hour away from this place and drive to get the pork belly buns and tonkotsu ramen. Don't skip the ramen egg! PLUS it feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli film Ramen shop. It's a little place and parking can be weird but it is so so so worth it. Go here!!“

“I have ben to few Sbarro's, as far away as Nassau, Bahamas. the producte are consistent. I do like the pizza, new york style and Sicilian . Usually when. in colonie center I get ziti to go . After I pay I usually look at the wide pizza selection and enjoy it vicariously . The other things look good. As a good italian, who has done many reviews. As many as I come across. Sbarro's new ork style is quite good and if I was hungry for pizza, I would not pass it up .“

“Small Cafe for breakfast and lunch with in-house seating.

I’ve had a few different sandwiches here, but their soups and baked goods are my favorites.

Located on Broadway in Menands, small parking lot on the side.“

“This area and the people who work here are very pleasant a lot of people who go here are not very present but they're all courteous when you go in the polite to some extent. I do like the service I do like what they have in that store and I'll be seeing them again probably although I don't live in that area anymore I appreciate one of the gentleman there that work there he was happy for me that I was leaving and I moved out of that area and I want to thank you very much for saying those kind words to me. You saw the whole picture of what I was facing and I appreciate your words.“

“It was exactly what I was looking for! It's a small spot but def worth the drive...“

“Never knew this place was here! It’s very small but the menu offers lots of choices. \n\nAll four of us had different dishes and all four is us were very satisfied, including a gluten-free friend. The server knew the spring rolls were cooked in the same oil as other things so were not appropriate for a guest with a gluten allergy. \n\nI will rave about the duck. It was very crispy, not very fatty )even for duck), and the sauce was delicious! \n\nHighly recommend if you like Thai food“

“My first time here, l ordered a White Broccoli and a Bella Philly Steak slice. All l can say is they were delicious and I will most definitely be back. Thank you.“

“Just had date night and have absolutely nothing bad to say! Brian served us and he was knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was cooked professionally, there was no feeling of “another chain restaurant “ it was delicious! Cocktails were nice, presentation was good. It was everything we needed tonight!“

“Food and service was absolutely amazing. What an enjoyable experience“

“First time here in a very cold evening, it’s like on the back of a building, there’s a park in front of the store, and across the street from it is a huge building with a clock on top that could be an old train terminal.
The chef was really friendly and the chicken sandwich meal was delicious, my daughter was a picky eater, and she just killed that sandwich, the chicken was crispy and tender inside, it was so food, since it’s a cold day we didn’t bother to order ice cream pops, we will definitely come back with friends and visit this eatery again.“

“Great place to stop when passing through Albany for some quick fresh Italian food take-out for the whole family. Seriously, forget the Thruway rest areas. If you have kids whose staple food is boiled noodles and butter, no matter the time nor the day, Bellini's will satisfy, and won't break the bank. Without a Noodles & co around for at least 100 miles, Bellini's has you covered, and is a must-stop for us. I can also recommend the meatballs and sausage.“

“Vegetarian options: I believe they will make any Sub you want

Kid-friendliness: The people are family friendly,they have family of their own. Parking is always been available when I've been there out in front. It's friendly place and a family friendly place. very good Subs.“

“Very convenient, great friendly service, delicious chicken. Juicy inside and crispy outside. Selection of sauces and spice level to suit all tastes. And those fries! Plenty of other sides and non chicken selections too. Also ample seating.“

“Stopped for a quick bite and was more than impressed with how amazing the hot food was.There is a lot in terms of store variety aside from food or drinks.One drawback was parking and location as it seems to be right in the middle of several streets of college student rentals. I imagine though for those students that's a plus.

Parking: Free street parking, at night at least, but if you can find it.“

“Very good place!! My only issue is my wife and I went there in the late afternoon and it was basically empty, between lunch and dinner and the place was excessively loud throughout the building. Even the soda machine was loud. You have to talk very loud just to place an order.“

“The pepperoni pizza was so good!! The buffalo wings are even better, totally recommend this place!!!“

“Di’Bella’s is an institution in Albany - and for good reason. Di’Bella’s began in Rochester in 1918. Their bread is baked in house, their ingredients are fresh, and their meat is of a higher quality. The atmosphere is dripping in their storied history and dining in feels like dining in a working museum. The downfall of Di’Bellas is the price point for their +7 inch subs and their artificially retro vibe.

The only meal deal they had at the time of my visit was a mini meal with a 5 inch sub, 20oz drink, and chips, cookie or pickle for $9.99. For the price point, it’s a valid deal. If you want any sub bigger than that, however, it’s somewhat costly. I ordered conservatively and had the 7 inch Di’Bella Cheesesteak with a large drink and a pickle. Cheesesteak: $9.79, drink $2.99 and a pickle is $1.49. All together my meal cost about $14.27. For a more casual, laid back restaurant without wait staff, $14.27 seemed excessive. I recognize they use fresher ingredients and bake their bread in-house but there are certainly cheaper options in Albany with similar qualities.

The other compliant I have is the interior of the restaurant which was the artificial retro vibe of the tables and benches. The tables and benches need a serious upgrade. It took away from the down-home vibe they were hoping to achieve with Di’Bella’s story written on the walls. With the aggressive 2010s harsh coloring, bright lighting, and artificial retro tables and benches it seems as though the restaurant can’t decide which era or genre it is hoping to emulate.

Having said all of that, Di’Bella’s flavor is worth the visit alone. They take care of every quality of the sandwich and it shows. If you like high quality subs and exploring time honored restaurants, this restaurant is for you.“
