Located in the former froyo shop right next to Starbucks in one of the newer pad buildings in front of the Galleria 7 set of shops and food court.
It's a really outstanding addition to the area, filling a vacuum let by the exodus from the nearby Galleria 7, incredi.bowl (just going to call it Incredibowl because I don't know whether to pronounce the 'dot' or not) offers a very simple menu of three major warm grain bowls -- Morrocan, Harvest, and Mediterranean - and five salad bowls - Kale, Greek Goddess, Chickpea Avocado, Thai Yum, and Mexicali. Everything ranges between $12 and $17.
You can also do a build your own starting at a $10 base, and they have three kinds of proteins available - salmon, tofu, and chicken - which you can substitute freely in any of the salad or grain bowls.
We have tried all the warm grain salads during their soft opening and two of the salads, and they've all been really outstanding.
Healthful, outstanding preparation, some unique tzatziki, made fresh right in front of you.
My main quibbles such as they are:
- the servings are enormous (it's a good value, I note, despite being pricey) and the bowls aren't quite big enough to split outright, so it's awkward sizing especially for lunch. I'd suggest they offer a bowl at just over half the size (maybe 5/8ths?) for 2/3 the price for those that don't want to commit.
(I will add everything was excellent leftover the next day or two later, so the large size won't go to waste no matter how hungry you are).
- they close at the awkward time of 7 PM. Even just extending it to 8 will get more dinner business from us on those "I forgot to plan something for tonight and we need something quick" nights.
- just a few hiccups that go along with the break-in period which I trust will get resolved (mostly in order management, and the packaging of the bags needs to be sized to the bowls they're using - getting more than one bowl in a bag is a precarious operation).
The inside is identical to when Ayelada (the quite excellent but poorly located frozen yogurt shop) was there - casual industrial vibe with stainless steel tables and a quick-eat layout. There's outside seating as well just to the side, not bad even though your view is a parking lot and Route 7, although it's too cold right now to enjoy.
Service was relatively fast and friendly from the family owners.
Warmly welcomed to the list of options on the Latham-Niskayuna border. read more
