Simone's Kitchen Schenectady Reviews
So good. When we go, we order 6 bowls at a time so we can eat it for 2 straight days. Chicken shawarma bowls forever. Always fresh, always fair portions, always delicious. One of the best in the area. Thank you!!!!!! 🥰
Simone’s is hands down my favorite spot. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Every bowl is loaded, balanced, and incredibly satisfying from the perfectly seasoned protein to the fresh toppings and house-made sauces. If you’re looking for fresh, vibrant food that never disappoints, Simone’s is it.
We chose vegetarian build your own bowls. Lots of good vegetarian and vegan choices. The bowls were fresh, aromatic, and full of flavor. The Turkish coffee and baklava were great too. Highly recommended!
I love going to Simone’s. Dining in is great and take out is also great. Everything I’ve tried had been good. The food tastes fresh, the flavors are wonderful, and the staff are always friendly.
Always fabulous food, great for dietary restrictions- I’m vegetarian, my boyfriend is dairy-free and gluten-free, and this is one of our favorite places to eat! When we have questions about whether something is safe, the staff have been helpful and knowledgeable about the food. I love coming here!
Excellent service, fast and efficient. The food was incredibly delicious; each bite was even better than the last. I would definitely return to this place and highly recommend it. The only thing I would change is the atmosphere; I would choose something quieter with less noise.
The service was fast, friendly and inviting. The food was amazing! I had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was just the right portion size, the ingredients were fresh and delicious, and I can't wait to go back for more!!
I've heard about this place so many times and every time I mention Falafel this place is recommended so I knew I needed to try it, so my son and I decided to go on an adventure to Schenectady. We found a really good parking spot really close to the restaurant and there was a small line, by the time we left it was going out the door. I mentioned to the staff that it was my first time there and they walked me through how to make my own Bowl and my son got a chicken wrap. It's funny because my son would never eat half of the stuff that they have their and they stuck it all in a wrap and he said it was completely and totally delicious he loved it. He wasn't even done with his lunch yet and was already telling me he couldn't wait to come back. My falafels were very yummy and everything was so fresh and tasty! We took three pieces of baklava home with us cuz we're going to have it for after dinner tonight. The prices are reasonable the staff is very nice and accommodating. Overall it was a great experience and I would love to go back. We both got the pomegranate lemonade, I thought it was delicious but my son wasn't a big fan.
Had a great meal. My bf unfortunately dropped his goat cheese pie, and they were great and served him another. We got entirely too much food and they gave us to-go lids for the paper containers they serve the food in. The potatoes are SO worth getting! No table service so it acts a bit like fast food, but it eats like restaurant food. I really would have liked a bit more of a restaurant vibe, but the food was so tasty and the service so patient and friendly, I can't argue. So good! And the location is great, along the pedestrian walkway. So much to see.
The BYO bowls are great. Delicious and not overpriced. There's a good selection of options. The raspberry baklava was also good. My only complaint is that it's loud inside and hard to communicate with the servers, but that's to be expected in a place like this. Definitely a good place to stop if you want something healthy and tasty.
My 2nd visit here and both were taken outs. I always forget to check in and take pics as I'm in a hurry to pick up my order. I get home and I'm so hungry and craving for food that I even forgot to take pics 2 times in a row. This place was recommended by a yelpie at an event. Thank you Heather.S. for the recommendation. My son, who's picky with his food, loves the pita pockets. The pockets with some added jalapenos and fire sauce was extraordinary. Note that I love my food spicy. The restaurant is a counter service restaurant with friendly staff. The restaurant is on Jay street, that's an amazing street to stroll by. The restaurant is neat , clean and modern. I definitely will stop by again and recommend it to others. This is probably one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in capital district.
Absolutely delicious. Definitely stepped out of my comfort zone walking into this funky place, but it was so worth it. Fun little protein bowls with a bunch of tasty veggies I'd never had before and some INCREDIBLE frothed coffee. Would've like more "coffee" coffee though and less froth, but still so good. Luckily wandered in on a friday, which is one of 2 days a week they're open (thursday too) acc to google? Would go all 7 if I could!
**If you find my review helpful, please click on the LIKE 👍 icon and follow my profile...thank you!** Marvelous place, tucked away in downtown Schenectady! We were in the area, and decided to just Google a good place to eat...and SO glad that we selected this restaurant! The food was awesome...even our normally picky 9 year-old was diving into her food! 🤣 Staff is VERY friendly, and we even got to meet the chef and congratulate him on his wonderful food. The restaurant is spacious and very clean, and located on a quaint side street. If you're in Schenectady (or even just the Capital District), I would highly recommend that you make a trip out to this superb restaurant - you won't regret it!
I recently visited this Mediterranean salad bar and tried the lil Chicken Shawarma. It was absolutely delicious, though I found it had a bit too much sauce for my taste—so I’d recommend not mixing it all in like I did. The orange lemonade was also tasty, although it wasn’t freshly made. The staff were helpful and made good use of downtime by keeping the place clean. I’ll definitely be back with my husband!
