Halal Restaurants in Albany, NY

“My favorite place in the area, as the food is always fresh and delicious! The portions are huge and Sal and his staff are amazing; he can come up with anything even if it’s not listed on the menu. They get busy with lunch rush from the hospital and still manage to get everyone in and out. I highly recommend their spicy falafel gyro! My daughter loves their chopped salmon and her best friend is obsessed with the chopped cheese sandwiches. It gives NYC deli vibes. I come here for lunch every week and have yet to leave unsatisfied. They have vegan options as well and there is something for everyone here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our lunch experience at this restaurant was a satisfying one. We dined with family. The place is simple with minimal decor and basic seating.
While we placed our order at the counter, the food was served at the table without much waiting.
The lamb shank over rice was very good so also the other dishes. Reasonable portions and quite authentic flavors made the dining special. Priced reasonably, one can enjoy a hearty meal for as little as $20.“

“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!“

“I have always wanted to eat at Dave’s I must say for the first experience the staff was absolutely amazing including Alexis with her great smile and Prince with exceptional customer service! Drove 20 minutes and it was well with it and I can’t wait to go back! I felt like I was eating at a restaurant!“

“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“

“The staff at Shah’s Halal are truly amazing! Even when I call over the phone to place an order, they do such a great job—always polite, professional, and making sure everything is right. They’re friendly, consistent, and really know how to take care of their customers. I love the experience every time, and their I love the experience every time, and between the great service and delicious food, Shah’s Halal always stands out.“

“Tastes god and delicious“

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

“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.“

“Authentic food that truly comforts the soul, الحمدلله. It reminds me so much of Makkah/Madinah. My husband and I get food from all over Albany but still come back to this one every now and then. It’s just that amazing, ماشاء الله.

The negative reviews on here are just disheartening because the food is not as subpar as described nor is the service as bad as said. There is a very small staff of genuinely kind people and the food is always warm and fresh. It’s a lot of food for the price paid, we pay a lot more for subpar food at other places.

They have fresh spiced tea complimentary with any food order, which is very much needed on colder days like today!

With a fine-tuned focus on the authentic cuisine, the place is not as decorative as other restaurants. It may not be for everyone but it’s definitely a new cultural experience for those interested!

Please, please give this place a try. It’s worth a shot.“

“Was staying with family in the area — they had been here before and were excited to bring us. Everything we ordered was delicious! We shared an appetizer combo which was great. I had the chicken vindaloo — it was very spicy, but hearty and delicious. We got 4 different naans — the aloo and garlic were my favorite. Excited to stop back in the future.“

“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)“
