Halal Restaurants in Albany, NY

“I recently visited with my brother and ordered a chopped cheese, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic! The staff (Sal) showed so much hospitality and made me feel welcomed. As for the food—absolutely A1! The chopped cheese was perfectly seasoned and fresh, and every bite was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.“

“Food is simple but fresh and well prepared. We had Bolani which is like a thin crisp Samosa, falafel wrap and chicken over rice. Food came quickly, service was great and ingredients were very fresh. Homemade white sauce was excellent. Will definitely go back if we are in the area again“

“Food/Price is AMAZING, the guy that serves it very friendly. The only issue is that the store doesn't open up on the advertised times & there is ONLY 1 person running the whole store and simultaneously taking orders and cooking the food. He needs a Cashier, 2 guys that can help him bake the food, and 1 person for orders strictly.“

“Got a steak egg and cheese bagel from there and it was very good. I liked how the egg was omelette style instead of the typical fried egg and it had lots of flavor. Good pricing as well, BEC are $5 and steak is 5.99. Beats the crappy egg sandwiches from Dunkin or Stewarts“

“Halal Shack is one of my favorite spots on campus. Their falafel over brown rice is my go-to, and it never disappoints. Recently, they've introduced some exciting new toppings, including the spicy feta, which is a must-try. The combination of flavors is outstanding, making each visit a delightful experience. If you haven’t been yet, you’re definitely missing out!“

“Don't go anywhere else for anything. 10/10 highly recommend“

“While in the area looking for an apartment I’ve ordered from them for entire week and never got sick of it. Clean, fast, and tastes amazing! I could eat this everyday.“

“If you haven’t been you should go And if you have been you know ! Amazing food“

“Excellent kind, patient, and quick service. Clean and really nice art work inside. Prices are worth it and affordable. I enjoyed everything with my family. Food was fresh and very colorful. So happy to see a halal Mexican place. It is authentically made too! Thank you guys for working hard. Major plus for the community. OMG forgot to add : gettttt the desserts! The person who makes the desserts I need a whole tray asap. Thank you! Lol“

“Dinner buffets are awesome! Prices are great and lots of option available.“

“It was exactly what I was looking for! It's a small spot but def worth the drive...“

“Such good fries- such great service- a gem in downtown“

“Probably the best chicken over rice I’ve had... I’m even putting this above halal guys in NYC. Not to mention great customer service, was given fried chicken while waiting for our food to come out 🙌🏻 seriously delicious. Great food and people! Will be coming back.“

“I didn’t go in person yet so I cannot comment on the service or atmosphere but I just ordered from here for the first time and I must say it surely exceeded my expectations! I knew it would be good but didn’t expect it to be this good. The tenders are huge but also well flavored and cooked, the Dave’s sauce compliments in sooo well and the fries are curly fries and fried to perfection. I enjoy ever bit and corner of my plate, I wasn’t disappointed once. I had the lite mild and it was exactly that, a little spice with the perfect balance of classic and crunchy!!! I will be coming back, this is my new fav spot for sure but I gotta go in person this time to see if the service is as good as the food! Dave’s hot chicken is a 10/10. MONEY WELL SPENT!!!“

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!“

“The food was tasty, clean and fresh!! Lots of choices, plenty of room to sit. They even had dessert!! Plenty of food for a fair price. I’ll be back for more.“

“The food was awesome and the service was superb..they can try keeping it more cleaner next time...it must have the closing time and we were the last customer in, they must have just started cleaning it up after a long day...a must try place... amazing taste of mandi, tea and arabic tea.“

“Best and delicious mddil east food in the capital district“

“The food here is 10/10.
The fish and grits combo is a delicious choice.
There are so many options to choose from.
Smoothies, smoothie bowls, protein shakes, and all types of food choices from all over.
One of their undefeated meals is the Caesar salad with steak on top. You will not be disappointed. They have a ton of healthy snacks and over 40 drink choices. They even have seaweed chips! The chef is very kind and he talks to everyone. The staff are great, very accommodating. If you call to order give them about 20 minutes before you pick up. They have wheel chair accessibility as well. It’s
worth the wait!“

“I have never been to a halal place before this and ordered from here while they offered their BOGO chicken and rice plates. Not only was the food amazing, but they gave me SO MUCH. The proportions were impressive, straight up lasted me three days. Service was relatively quick and friendly. Absolutely would and will order from here again.“

“Tastes god and delicious“

“I can't forget that Peshewari Naan and Bombay Aloo. Two awesome items with perfect balance of spice. They asked us the spice level we would prefer. This is something indian restaurants usually do not ask. Loved that part. Two other items were onion naan (was good) but the Mughlai chicken, something was off about it. It could be the balance of sweet or the salt was not right. I felt like I am eating a thik gravy. I believe the tea was over brewed and to balance it more milk was poured in. That's just an opinion as I know taste of tea is very subjective. Besides all of this the portion of one order was good for two. I think they are underrated by themselves. I would recommend them to change the whole seating arrangement. Also, update your restaurant name to Ahmed Restaurant. It was hard to find it.Spend $36 for two. (1. Mughlai Chicken came with choice of rice/Naan, Aloo Naan came with Rice/Naan)“

“This is the best buffet money can buy and the best Indian food money can buy. I’m an omnivore but if I ever had to be vegetarian I couldn’t do it without eating spicy mint every day. I’ll frequently fill up completely on vegetarian options and be completely stuffed and satisfied. There is no other option if you are craving Indian food. The ingredients are fresh and peak of flavor. The goat is unbelievably perfect and so is every chicken dish. I love this place and you can taste their love for what they do in the food, and smell it when you walk through the door. Flavor over load!“

“My first time here, l ordered a White Broccoli and a Bella Philly Steak slice. All l can say is they were delicious and I will most definitely be back. Thank you.“
