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.“

“Hands down the best chicken over rice I have had in the entire capital region.

Flavor on point, sauce on point, they got the good fries and the portion was HUGE! The chicken texture was good, no weird rubbery bits and tasted fresh, not like it was taken out of a bag like some other places around town... It's honestly a great bang for your buck if you work in an office bcs I split that platter in half and had it for lunch two days in a row! I'll definitely be back.“

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

“Never had this place before but out of every restaurant ive been too, the staff were kinda rude but... the food was immaculate everything was fresh, and it didn't take long at all considering they were busy it took like 8 minutes I would definitely come out here again would I travel an hour 2 plus?? hours prolly not... but if your close id definitely recommend 👌“

“We ordered chicken over rice and koobideh. Prices are good and flavor is authentic. Flavorful meal. Portion size is also good. There was a steady flow of takeout orders. Our take out order was ready in 15 minutes and was served hot. Definitely will stop by when will be in the area.“

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“When I say these are the best wings I’ve had in a long time! Not only are the prices phenomenal here, the service is just as good. The lady in the front is so kind, and my first visit I ordered only 5 wings and ended up with 8. Definitely come and eat here if you’re in the mood for some good wings and nice service. (15% off on wings during the summer too!)“

“I’ve just written the following review based on my first experience at this restaurant as I’d a fantastic experience.
Since writing it however I’ve had a chance to scan previous reviews and I’ve found it troubling. Especially the review with photos of raw chicken.
It seems to me that the reviews fluctuate wildly from amazing to holy crap. It looks like to me that consistency is an issue and I do hope you all at this location are taking these reviews seriously and working to make them all fantastic for the future.

I just did an Uber Eats. I’ve never eaten here before but have been wanting to try you guys out, hoping for an authentic gyro which is so hard to find.
I ordered a lamb gyro and pakora and holy shit! It not only arrived early but was still hot and was…delicious! That gyro was awesome. Plenty of fresh vegetables with tons of their sauces perfectly coating them and the meat. Like the real deal.
Thank you Shah’s Halal. Will most definitely be a loyal customer.“

“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)“

“Delicious meal! Fast and friendly service!“
