    Hands down the best falafel I’ve ever had! These perfectly crispy yet fluffy, herby and aromatic discs of fried goodness are worth every penny! The beef gyro was flavorful too, and the koshari is definitely worth a try! The tomato sauce that comes with the koshari makes for an amazing flavor combo. Everything was made fresh to order, and the owners are super friendly and kind as well! Truly a hidden gem

    Just fantastic food. I got the falafel platter not knowing what was in it. Turns out there is a scoop of some magical feta spread stuff and a scoop of hummus. I had no idea this is what hummus was supposed to taste like. It was extraordinary; so smooth and silky. The falafel were each the size of my palm and made to order. The couple behind the counter could not have been lovelier. This is a true mom and pop establishment. I’m looking forward to going back for other things. The place constantly had a crowd coming through; repeat customers. Don’t be fooled by the office building environment. That’s quintessential Albany to me. You never know where you will find a gem.

    A small eatery run by a couple that I read were from Egypt originally. Took me a few minutes to find their location; they’re in a large office building across from Trader Joe’s, on the first floor. My salad, feta mixture, pita and hummus were really tasty, but the Star was the lightly fried falafel that was gently crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Excellent with the tzatziki sauce. One of the two chefs/owners suggested calling in my order next time. I’m glad I found them and they certainly deserve the 5 🌟

    I'm new to Egyptian and Mediterranean cuisine so I was curious about this place tucked inside an office building. The food here made me change my mind about falafel, hummus and feta cheese. That's saying a lot, normally I dislike how dry falafel is, but I guess I never had good falafel. The falafel here is made-to-order and I got it piping hot, right out of the deep fryer. I ordered ahead of time, a little before 12. The sampler platter is soo delicious. Like, every part of it was like 10/10. Koshari was good too. The next time I go, I'll order one entree because ordering two was way too filling for me. A coworker of mine tried the falafel too, and said it was delicious and asked me to grab some the next time I go.

    The food was incredible. It was such a great experience getting to try Egyptian cuisine. The portions were enormous and everything was delicious. The staff was unbelievable kind and informative. We will definitely be coming back. Our only regret is not finding out about this place sooner!

    Bon Appetit is a wonderful genuine restaurant with amazing food that’s fresh and never disappoints. Highly recommend trying, and ordering a chicken feta platter, with their feta crumble. Baklava is delicious as well. Have never had a bad meal. Good prices. When you walk into 80 Wolf Rd, it’s on the first floor behind the elevators. Usually office workers will eat here but if you’re looking to try something new, go do it!

    The owners make the food in front of you. Always delicious and a good value. My favorites are the Chicken Fetta Platter and the Beef Gyro. Eat there several times a month as I work nearby.

    I work close by and coworker told me about them. For years I've used NBT bank up front and always wondered where the amazing smells came from. These guys are legit, food is amazing, they're always nice, and great value for the money. Worst part is they're open while I work so I have to stop finding excuses to go. I'm real they don't know me, I live north of Albany and work a football field down wolf Rd. Do yourself a favor and go.

    From the moment we stepped foot into Bon Appétit, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The charming and attentive couple who run the place staff are knowledgeable, and passionate about providing an exceptional experience. Bon Appétit is a hidden gem located inside a business building. This small eatery offers an extraordinary culinary experience at bargain prices. Their French fries are in a league of their own, with a scrumptious garlic topping that surpasses all competition. The flavors throughout the menu are spectacular, and the value for the quality of food is exceptional. Don't be fooled by its unassuming location; this place is a culinary treasure that shouldn't be missed.

    I tried Bon Appetit based on the reviews for their Middle Eastern lunches, but I'll admit, I was a little bit skeptical that I could get a solid breakfast here. I was wrong - the omelette was one of the best I've had in recent memory. Made to order from fresh ingredients by the super friendly owner of the cafe, it was superb - and was less than $10, which is crazy. Don't let the atmosphere fool you into thinking this is a second rate establishment, the care that goes into the food, and the overall quality, is top notch.

    The Egyptian/Middle Eastern items are made there, and exceptional quality: Kosheri, Grapeleaves with Beef, Hummus...etc. The falafel is made there, and is unbelievable. The owners are lovely, warm and kind. The prices are great, less than $10 for each dish, and great portions. Will be coming back.
