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.“

“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.“

“We were driving through and looking for a quicker dinner than sit down but healthier than fast food, and decided to give this a try. We were both very happy with our orders! We got two different platters, both delicious and well portioned, at a good price point! The mild sauce was very flavorful, and the white sauce was delicious without any heat. The fries were hot and fresh. My only disappointment was that the semi recent photo of the menu showed baklava, but it's not on the menu now. But dinner was delicious! I've included a new photo of the menu- the smaller platters don't include fries. I highly recommend Downtown Platters!“

“This is a great location. The inside was nice and clean. We were a group of five people and the employee who took our order was awesome and patient while each one of us went through the line. Our food also came out a lot faster than I expected it to, so that's a bonus. Food was excellent as well.“

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

“Absolutely wonderful food, easy to park location (paid lot two doors down), and kind service. We tried a number of entrees and sides: gyro, chicken, sabzi (spinach and beans), and badenajn (eggplant). Everything was excellent! No dinner is complete without dessert, so we sampled the cheesecake and pudding. This is a wonderful place for dining out and we plan to return in the future.“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I visited this store on Wednesday night around 10:00 PM. It was extremely busy, with a constant flow of customers and online orders. The store had a great atmosphere, and it was clear that the demand was very high.

What surprised me the most was that only two employees were managing everything. I visit this location about three times a week, and I often notice the same situation. Despite being understaffed, they handled every customer professionally, stayed calm under pressure, and provided excellent service. I had to wait about 10 minutes for my order, but it was definitely worth the wait because the food was fresh and well prepared.

I would like to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the employees. They are doing an amazing job despite the heavy workload. However, I strongly recommend that management increase the number of staff during busy hours. Additional employees would help reduce wait times and improve the overall customer experience.

One of the reasons people choose this restaurant is because they know their food is usually prepared quickly. Long waiting times can reduce customer satisfaction and eventually lead to disappointment. As someone who has also seen restaurants lose customers because of long delays, I understand how important it is to maintain fast service while delivering quality food. Investing in more staff would not only support the hardworking employees but also help retain loyal customers and provide an even better dining experience.“

“Great spot for relaxing with family and friends“

“Delicious meal! Fast and friendly service!“

“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.“

“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)“
