50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Cohoes

“They have a HUGE and somewhat overwhelming menu which I always intend to try something new and really don’t. ? The coffee Oreo chip hard ice cream with peanut butter sauce is a go-to for me. It’s fantastic. Their size small is enormous no matter if cone or dish. You might lose your cone on a hot day if you opt for a medium or larger because it’ll be bigger than your head! It’s always clean, staff is always friendly and it’s cash only. They do have an ATM ready for you if you need it. A summer favorite and they’re still open through the fall too. Enjoy!! ???“

“So wonderful. We’re still talking about it a day later. This restaurant had us at tamarind with eggplant and chickpeas. Also cheers for the chili chickpea Bahjia. Other items kept our smiles going. Pleasant service. It is the only place we would go if we were in the area again. Can you hear our applause to the chef and cooks?!“

“Delicious, fantastic, magnificent! The very best Italian restaurant I’ve very experienced. The true Italian food I can say because I have 12 years of working experience in Europe before! What we ordered today, there’s no disappointment. Each one turns out to be surprisingly delicious!“

“I really loved this place, it was so tasty! Had to get an additional chicken skewers for my chicken combination the second time I ordered since the white meat chicken was so so tender. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous but they were only doing takeout when I visited.“

“VFGS is my Thursday place to be for lunch with an old friend. The atmosphere is welcoming and eclectic; there is always new and interesting merchandise to peruse. But...the food is what always brings us back...oat milk chai, lemon scones, chocolate chip sea salt cookies and the breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage...and chicken salad and soups that change weekly and are all delicious! The staff is friendly and efficient and remembers your name and your preferences. A hidden jewel in our community that I am so grateful for!“

“Really great, authentic Chinese food. Most was just good but there were two standouts for me. One was the spicy wonton and the other was pork belly buns. They were really exceptional. I could make a meal out of 2 orders of spicy wontons! Need to go back to see what else is good.“

“Wife and I were in the area for an overnight stop on a road trip and craving some Vietnamese food. We couldn't have been happier with Saigon Spring! All of our food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Some of the best pho I have ever had with amazing meatballs. If you're in the area and craving some fantastic Vietnamese food, go here!“

“Very nice atmosphere inside. Got a roll, samosa bites, and a rose lassi, all for very reasonable prices. The food came very quickly. The samosa bites were especially good. I was a little nervous about the rose lassi because it is very easy for rose to be overpowering, but it was perfect! I’m really happy to have a fast casual Indian option nearby.“

“Came here with a few colleagues some days ago looking for a nice wine spot. This place is very nice, cozy and intimate. The wine and beers are great. Staff very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came out at some point to check on us and he was great :) On top of the drinks we also had the cheese plate and some spaghetti, both of which were absolutely wonderful. We are not from Albany but if I ever find myself here again I'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great service :)“

“Excellent buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and friendly and attentive staff!!“

“Drinks were superb and thoughtfully crafted! The food on the other hand is questionable. I had the Al Pastor tacos and they were surprisingly soggy. Definitely not the place if you are looking for traditional Mexican food but a great spot to meet friends for drinks.“

“Great place! Awesome drinks! Great food!!“

“TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I didn’t realize they closed at 9, and I walked in with my two girls at 9:02pm. It was a rough night with some tears so we were hoping some froyo would be just the fix we needed. The two women working were mopping the floors and closing up for the night but INSISTED that we get our froyo fix despite the fact that they were actually closed. They couldn’t have been nicer and I felt SO BAD but they promised we weren’t inconveniencing them at all. I was beyond impressed with the customer service and work ethic. We will 100% be back to this location for the simple fact that they were so incredibly kind to us. THANK YOU! You made our night!“

“Very quaint Bar & Grill. Bartender was grandson of original owner. He was very friendly & helpful with some meal suggestions. Food was delicious & big portions! Thank you for the awesome hospitality!“

“Everything in here is good for you and tastes amazing. That combination isn’t just rare; it’s INSANELY rare, especially in Upstate NY. Bonus points for an elegant but understated/relaxed ambiance that compliments the menu perfectly. Also, the assiduous attention to health conscientious sourcing of her food and ingredients deserves mentioning again - and I do NOT throw around that praise lightly. You really can’t go wrong here, even if it’s just for a cup of coffee (which is also top notch).“

“All of the food I’ve had here has been delicious and all of my coworkers would agree. It’s our new go to. Pizza is the exact same as before and have been told the wings are also. Falafel and rice is DELICIOUS! The rice can be eaten on it’s own. The owners are so nice too.“

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".“
