Zaffron Kitchen Schenectady

This is a wonderful new family owned and run restaurant that is a wonderful culinary addition to downtown Schenectady. The cuisine is a combination of Greek and Middle Eastern. My daughter and I had lunch here on a Saturday. There are a wide variety of choices and vegetarians can do very well here as can vegans. We ordered Baba Galoush and Pita as an appetizer. The pita was fresh and warm! The eggplant was delicately flavored, smooth, and exceptional. I could eat it everyday. We ordered two bowls: One was Lamb Kabob One was Chicken There are a wide variety of choices to top your bowl and several different sauces. I had the lamb, and it was outstanding. It was flavorful from being marinated and incredibly tender! Best ever! I had brown rice and many toppings including a grape lea

This is a wonderful new restaurant and wonderful new addition to Schenectady. I have been at the one in Latham and this one is larger and more spacious. The cuisine is a combination of Greek and Middle Eastern. I would say. There are a wide variety of choices for most anyone and vegetarians can do very well here as can vegans. I had a falafel bowl and the rice was a standout. I was asked if I wanted brown rice but this is a long grain brown rice that has to be more expensive and it was absolutely delicious. There are a wide variety of choices to top your bowl with including lots of different sauces. I got the hot sauce on the side, which was a good choice. The food was delicious. The people are lovely and the atmosphere is very comfortable and spacious. Let’s make sure they succeed!

I visited this restaurant twice in a week of its opening. The food is good and the service is good as well. The chicken shawarma bowl is one of the best I have had in upstate NY. The falafel bowl was also really tasty. It has a really big area with a lot of dining space and it’s located conveniently. Overall must try if you like Mediterranean.

Mediterranean food is absolutely my favorite thing to eat so I might be a little harsh with the ratings on this place only because I've had some to die for Mediterranean food in my lifetime. Let's just start off by saying that the restaurant is absolutely beautiful! Even though the parking lot is a little hard to get into with construction in front. It's got a great open atmosphere and even places to eat outside. The decor is awesome and the seating arrangements are very nice and not too crowded. The two gentlemen that were there are very accommodating and welcoming and explained everything very well. They were definitely friendly! We ordered three different types of appetizers. The first one was stuffed grape leaves, these are my absolute favorite appetizer to get at Mediterranean restau

Nice and delicious. Zaffron is about a 10 minute walk from Proctor's Theater, so a great place for a meal before or after a show. Great vegetarian options. Friendly and caring service.
