“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!“

“Tried out chicken express menu which contained Kabuli rice, chicken kabab, one piece of naan and salad. The price was 12.99 dollar at that time.

“I recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken with my husband and best friend, and we were all so impressed! We ordered online for takeout, and the process was super easy and convenient. We spent a little over $30, and the food was ready right on time. Even after driving 20 minutes to get home, the food was still piping hot and delicious! Monica, who's usually picky, got her meal exactly how she wanted it, and the quality was outstanding. Although there was a slight wait when we picked up, the staff was really friendly, and the food was well worth it. Highly recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken for great food and a smooth ordering experience!“

“Stumbled upon this little gem today in Albany! So glad I did. Amazing fries and I got a TON for $5!“

“Oct 2024: Ordered via UberEats. We were so tired after driving from Vermont at midnight, wanted to have something hot, tasty in the nighttime. This place served us Falafel and Rice (all vegetarian) so tasty with sauces (I guess tamarind and hari chutney)

Vegetarian options: Falafel over rice“

“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.“

“Shah’s Albany offers delicious halal food with generous portions and flavorful options like chicken and lamb over rice, enhanced by their signature sauces. However, their cheesesteaks, while decent, could benefit from more cheese to improve the overall balance of flavors.“

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

“I got more than I expected! When I first entered, I didn't know what to expect. I was greeted and looked at the menu. I got lamb over rice, thinking it was the typical chopped up gyro meat and to my surprise.....!I received some very good size cits of lamb on bone. One even being like the upper rib cut! It was well, seasoned, soft and delicious! I kid you not. I was very impressed. Oh and let me not forget about the bread that came with it. It was humongous and buttery tasting, freshly made.I would recommend everyone to try their food here. The owner is very nice and they incorporate vegatarian food, okra and other vegetables in some of their food. Real Yemen food for sure.“

“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)“

“Arrived in Albany to meet and visit my friend. Was hungry and craving Indian food and decided to try Spicy Mint. The gentleman who took my take out order was friendly and helpful, made me feel welcome. I ordered a samosa chaat and garlic naan, both were incredibly delicious. Spicy Mint is a wonderful place to eat in my humble opinion. I had a positive experience and after traveling so many hours by bus and train from Michigan what a delight it was to eat such tasty food. So happy ? with my meal at Spicy Mint. Thumbs up.?“

“First time eating at Legends...the pizza is fantastic, the crust even has a delicious taste, not too greasy but still greasy enough to be delicious. The order of buffalo wings was so tender, meaty and delicious. I'll definitely be a return customer.“

“Had a great experience several times. Then tonight ordered by Grubhub and it’s literally awful. I called in an attempt to rectify the problem and was told “nope that’s what you ordered”“

“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.“
