Heads up that they are CASH ONLY. I ordered the Chicken Shishkabob Plate, which came with chicken skewers, lemon potatoes, Pita, and tzatziki. Everything on the plate was delicious, and the chicken was nice and juicy. It also came with a Greek salad, which is one of my all-time favorites. Most places make it the American way with lettuce, but after visiting Greece, I realized it doesn't have any lettuce. It's cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olive, and Feta. In the summer, it's especially good because it's light and refreshing. My boyfriend ordered the lamb Gyro, and it was cooked perfectly. Such a delicious meal! We also had a great conversation with one of the staff members, who was so welcoming and appreciative of our business. I highly recommend The Greek House!

Mmmm delicious. The cigar rolls were so good we ordered another one. It comes with five rolls and a side of tahini. Crispy and fluffy with feta. The falafel comes halved and was crispy and delicious. Everyone pretty much tried everyone's dish because you just had to. I got the chicken shish. It came with a generous amount of char grilled juicy chicken chunks on a flat pita with a generous portion of yellow rice and a side salad. Dinner mate got the braised lamb shank and the other got the braised short ribs. They both came with generous sides. The asparagus was nice and tender. The short ribs just melted in my mouth. The chicken kavourma came fancy and just bursted with flavor with lots of chicken and vegetables. I didn't get to try the lamb because it got gobbled down so fast. The strawberry mimosa was delicious too. A must try in that row of restaurants on Madison. We got the best spot in the house, the window seat, where we saw people walking their dogs and lots of friendly people waving with their dogs and cars with dogs and cool cars driving by. Very entertaining for a seven year old. Baklava with ice cream for dessert. Amazing! They do not have a kids menu so if you have a picky eater, plan ahead! We did make a reservation for a party of five.

I don't consider it "fast food" but sure, it's an assembly line bowl place, similar to the "chipotle" concept. I've now tried both the Albany (Stuyvesant plaza) location and the OG - Coxsackie one. Both were amazing. The big bowl at Coxsackie was ~$12 and it totally fills me up. Tastes delicious, and you can customize it, and I don't feel they nickel and dime ya, with up charges. Everything tastes fresh and the portion for price is on par and great for what you get. Pita is included with every bowl. Now, I can't wait to taste and try the entire menu and zero in on my favorite bowl, or do a make your own. Thanks Simones. You'll see me a bunch. If it was walking distance or closer, I'd go weekly!

Nothing has come close. When I come to a decent sized city I look out for good restaurants to try. I was excited to see how the falafel was at Mazadar. Walking in I was greeted by friendly staff. There was a casual atmosphere. The felafel was the best I've ever had. I've had felafel all over the world in authentic restaurants. This was the best. From the bread to the balls to the salads to the sauces. Pure perfection. Everything was so fresh and so delicious.

Even with our high expectations, Phos definitely didn't disappoint. The space is beautiful and the staff were so kind and attentive (a few of them came over from Gaskins as well!). We kicked things off with a round of cocktails and appetizers, and the Voyager was one of our favorites from the drink menu. I also tried the Elysium martini, which as promised was super strong, but it was probably the only thing I tried during my entire visit that I wouldn't order again. I would have liked a little more of the olive brine and lemon verbena flavors to come through, most sips really just tasted like vodka. The meal only got better and better from there, though! We ordered a couple of the Mezze spreads with pita, the beets, and the roasted parsnips to start. Everything was delicious but the parsnips were an absolute home run, everyone at the table was blown away by how flavorful such a simple veggie could be. For entrees, some of the favorites at the table were the Phos Gyro, Sea Scallops, and the Swordfish special. You can really tell everything is farm-to-table, it's all so fresh and flavorful. I'm super excited about this spot, I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in town!

And the food truck that stands out among them is the Big Fat Greek. I always go here every summer in the last 3 years, one of the great finds in Albany. The price is of course cheaper than the Greek food in diners or restaurants, but the quality and the taste of the food is still great (even better than one of the diners that has greek food in Central Ave). Their souvlaki and falafel is good, but the most recommended item would be the gyro. Grab one for lunch (they're there only from 11ish to 2pm), and enjoy the sunshine at the park right next to the State Capitol. I dream of summer...

They were really quiet when we went so there wasn't much atmosphere to mention, but the decor was typical for a Mediterranean Restaurant, which is fun and enjoyable. We tried their Grilled Loukaniko as an appetizer, which we hadn't had before and enjoyed it a lot more than expected. Wish we hadn't eaten all the pita they gave us so quickly as it would have been even more delicious together. I had my usual, a Traditional Gyro with a Greek Salad on the side, a perfect choice. The salad was the best I have ever had. One of my sons had the Berkshire Club, which he was very happy with. He could only eat half so we took the other half with us, and it was still good as a shared breakfast the next morning. My other son had a Salmon Burger and a Greek Salad, which he ate all of. We didn't have enough room for dessert at the restaurant, but we had to try their traditional Baklava, so we ordered a piece to-go to share. It met all expectations.
