Afghan Restaurants near Albany, NY

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!“

“We recently visited this restaurant and had a pleasant experience overall. We ordered the chicken kebab with rice, lamb chops with rice, phirni, and black tea.

The chicken kebab was enjoyable, and the rice served with dishes was soft and cooked well. The phirni was delicious, and the black tea was a nice way to finish the meal.

The only disappointment was the lamb chops. They were quite dry and tough to chew, lacking the juiciness and tenderness we were expecting.

The restaurant itself was very quiet and peaceful, which we appreciated. There weren't many people there, so the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Service was reasonably quick, and we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Overall, it was a good experience, and most of the food was enjoyable. If the lamb chops were improved, it would have been an even better meal.“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat around Latham, I enjoy the food and the warm atmosphere and service from staff. I haven't gotten any better tasting lamb kabab around here but at Zaitoon!!!“

“Food is amazing staff is great .“

“This may be my favorite halal restaurant in the Capital Region. Home-cooked, authentically-made meals that are so light and fresh unlike the oily and heavy “fast-food-like” halal foods in the area. Touch of a female chef’s cooking, for sure! I am so happy I stumbled by it with my students in January and now that we are in the Albany area, this may be our family stop after every Jumuah. Plus, my son gets to hang out and play with Neda’s son afterwards. I will continue recommending it to friends, God willing.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“
