I stopped in on a weeknight and ordered from the kiosk. I got the Grilled Chicken Signature Bol, which is chicken, white rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta and their signature white sauce. I also ordered a side of pita and hummus. I was dining in and waited less than 10 minutes for my food. The portion was absolutely HUGE! I couldn't believe it. I barely made a dent in it! It tasted fresh and the sauce was really tasty. The pita and hummus were also fresh too. I grabbed a box for my leftovers and had another meal out of it. Overall, the place was clean, there was enough seating if you're dining in, the food was fresh and ordering was extremely easy. Definitely recommend! read more

As soon as I read some reviews and looked at Bol's menu, I made it a point to get over there as conveniently 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. read more

First time trying to Bol Med and it was good. Large number of fresh choices for the mix and match meals. Wife had the predesigned chicken bowl and I had a custom lamb kabob bowl. Both happy with them. Overall very tasty. Not especially generous with the meat, a bit disappointing for the price but all tasted good and fresh. 50% more meat and they get five stars. read more

Build-your-own bowl was huge with lots of options on the ingredient list. Brown rice, mixed greens, falafel, hummus, cucumber, tomato, tabbouleh, chickpea salad, feta, tzatziki- all of it was fresh and tasty. I didn't love the fried, garlic lemon potatoes so would skip those next time. Bolani breads are stuffed with seasoned potato/veg and fried. Fine, but wouldn't order again- the bowl was more than enough. read more

Decided to try out Bol on a snowy day; food tasted great and well seasoned! I built my own bowl and got the Kabob fries as a side which I would recommend to everyone. The service was friendly and I would definitely be back to try some other menu items. read more

The food is delicious and well seasoned, the portions are decent. The lighting is super bright (I have a sensitivity to light and sounds...if you do too you may want to do take out instead or have it delivered). I ordered ahead through the website which claims "ready in 15 minutes". Unfortunately that's not accurate or helpful. If one person is preparing the food, waiting on customers at the front counter and cleaning dishes etc "essentially doing it all", 15 minutes isn't realistic. More than one person works there and the tips are for the counter person only. No sharing according to her. I forgot to take pictures of the yumminess but I enjoyed every bite! I had the chicken fusion and side of kale salad. Delicious!! read more

Well decorated and perfect music is the backdrop to this fantastic food adventure. Great food. Chicken well seasoned and cooked perfect. Food was cooked carefully and the plates looked beautiful. Delicious. Would come again. read more

Bol Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Albany, New York

This place is absolutely delicious. We got the fusion bowl, the kebab fries, the fiery chicken pita, and the house made lemonade. Truly everything we ordered was phenomenal, great flavor, great presentation. The fries were so crispy and well done, the chicken kebab was flavorful and the bowl was so fresh and varied. The lemonade was freshly made and reminded me of my mother's growing up. They have several ordering options, both in-person and on a machine in store. The food comes out quick and if you dine in, they give you entire saucbottles for you to use! A new must try for the capital region!! read more

I order pickup from work, food's always been ready on time, it's decent price for how much you get, and it's always delicious. Love the mini pickles! The inside is nice too, I'd eat in with friends or family if we were in the area read more

We are not from the area and on our way back from Saratoga we were looking for a place to eat. Bol came up on a search and had good reviews so we made a quick detour to Colonie. Located in a small strip mall Bol looks like a fast food place but it is anything but. The food is excellent, plentiful and home made with unique Afghani flavors. Take your time to review the digital menu and then while you are waiting for your order, have some of the lemonade with mint. We ordered a falafel on pita which was way too large to eat at one sitting. Filled with tender falafel balls, hummus, salad, pickles, cabbage and chopped mint it was delicious. My husband had the lamb chop bowl with brown rice and kale tabbouleh. Prices were right, service was friendly. I recommend highly. Pass up the chain restaurants and go for something different and delicious. read more

Great lamb chops. The portions are a lot larger than you would think looking at the pictures, the bowls are big. They had this amazing white garlic sauce, maybe it was toum? Wow, try it! read more

John is great! He was knowledgeable of ingredients, patient and helped me choose my own bowl. It was fresh and delicious. The house made cucumber drink was not too sweet and very refreshing. While I was waiting for my food I asked what his favorite local restaurant was he said honestly I crave this food on my days off! That says a lot for the quality of the food. read more

Delicious fresh food with beyond great service! Casual but clean and we WILL be going back! YUM read more

Bol Mediterranean Grill - So delicious I started eating before taking the pic! Falafel bowl. - Mediterranean Near Me - Albany, New York

New Mediterranean casual eatery. Similar in concept to Chipotle but the choices are not in front of you. Order at the counter or kiosk. I'm vegetarian so chose the pick your own bowl, with falafel as my protein. The you get 2 base and 6 choices. The 'salad' choices like the kale tabbouleh are delicious! I also got chickpea salad, a cucumber like mix, cabbage slaw and hummus. These were all so delicious and HUGE bowl!! 10/10! Unfortunately the falafel were terrible. Not green and herbaceous inside like i am used to, not crispy, but mushy. 2/10. The cucumber mint homemade drink was so refreshing, not overly sweet- loved it! I'd come back but as a vegetarian i'm in a corner over getting a protein. Maybe they will change the falafel. read more

What a wonderful addition to the Capital District food scene! Husband's falafel pita wrap and my pita bowl were very generously portioned and delicious: fresh, homemade ingredients. We especially loved the moist and flavorful falafel--a different (and improved!) take on this dish from any we've had before. Also great: many accompanying sauces (cilantro jalapeno, yogurt with dill, among others), the cucumber mint limeade, the long grain "bol" rice ,and Afghan finely chopped salad. The chicken in a friend's kebab bowl was also tender and delicious. The "make your own bol" option is what we'll try next time: so many exciting combos! The vibe feels more casual than upscale, and the staff is helpful and eager to make every customer happy. read more

A more healthy fast food choice, my go to is the grilled chicken pita. The wife liked her falafel with salad too.

incredible food, huge portions, the sauces are all so good!! and the ambiance was so good the restaurant is very clean, super friendly staff, 10/10 would eat this every day!!! can't wait to come back read more
