Bon Appetit Cafe

Best falafel I’ve ever had. Very friendly proprietor! The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, really top tier. Also inexpensive. There’s no vibes here, but that’s sorta charming. It’s in the basement of an office building, tucked away. Maybe call in advance if you’re in a hurry. I’d love to have a lunch spot this delicious near me. I’d suggest getting take out, unless you’re into hanging out in office building basements. It’s not bad, it’s clean, but go for the food not the atmosphere.

We ended up eating here on a whim and were pleasantly surprised! The falafel, which were crunchy and fragrant were easily some of the best I have ever had. The couple who own and run the restaurant were so kind and inviting!

Probably best falafel I've ever had. I love falafel and as soon as I saw these I thought, these don't look right. Then I took a bite and realized every other falafel I've had has been wrong. They were so light, crispy. I ordered the spicy ones and they were delicious. I also got the grilled chicken feta platter with tzatziki sauce. Every bit of it was delicious The chicken, feta spread, rice was all excellent. This is a tiny cafeteria like setup in a corporate building on Wolf Rd. I initially thought the address was wrong and gave up. But then I saw the business name on the sign along with the others in the building. Small mom and pop shop (literally), owners were super friendly. Not the fastest service. They seemed a little stressed trying to keep up with the lunch rush at 12:30 but noth

Wow! Authentic falafel is hard to find. This cafe is cute, and the food is great. Generous portions and friendly couple that runs it. Most of the food is fresh and they take a lot of pride in handmaking traditional Egyptian food. Will definitely visit here any time I am in Albany.

What a cute and hidden find! It’s in a run of the mill office building on Wolf Road but anyone can go in. I only knew about it because I had read a review about it on the Times Union. There were 2 people working, I’m guessing husband and wife, and they were so friendly. The prices are so reasonable that I ordered 3 things for my husband and I to share. We got a beef gyro with fries, a large garden salad with gyro meat and a sampler platter, which came with 4 stuffed grape leaves (meat or not), 2 falafel (spicy or not), a garden and a feta salad and a scoop or hummus with pita bread. The gentleman also insisted I take a cup of lentil soup. Everything was delicious! While it’s not a place you want to go and sit down to eat, I will absolutely return for more take out.
