Middle Eastern Restaurants near Albany, NY

“Consistently awesome food at this place. The hummus is soooo delish and creamy, and the pita to dip in it is fresh and tasty. You can (and should) double dip in the hummus; it’s worth it.

Falafel pita sandwich is awesome with the crispy pita chips to dip in the afore mentioned hummus, and the baba ghanoush is super tasty.

Take out only. But the owner is super friendly when you go in to pick up your food. It’s clear he is a master at cheffing up high quality middle eastern cuisine. Highly recommend.“

“Best hidden treasure in the Captial region. The food was so good. Worth the small time to wait. It's hidden in an office building. It's middle eastern food. I had a beef Ruben and my wife a Gyro. Even the fries were fabulous.“

“Tastes god and delicious“

“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.“

“Delicious food every time I eat it. Lamb is the best! Ed“
