Tara Kitchen NEVER disappoints! Everything I’ve ever had here has been amazing. When traveling through, we make accommodations specifically to eat at Tara Kitchen (usually in Schenectady but this time we went to Albany).

We enjoyed a delicious family meal tonight! The chicken was so tender and the flavor was delicious. Very generous portion - plenty for the four of us. And the best pita bread to accompany the dish. We added on some baklava for a sweet treat at the end and it was amazing! Thank you - we’ll be back soon.

We love Mediterranean flavors and were excited to stop at Tara. Interesting concept of the focal point is a deli counter and you select your meal from the deli. Your food selection is put into a serving box and then microwaved. You get your food served in the box.. The food was ok, reason I say that is due to food only being warm. We like our food freshly made and hotter. The samosas were the best part of our meal. We highly recommend them! The restaurant was clean and inviting. Staff were friendly. May stop in the future to grab a meal to go.

I visited Tara Kitchen in Guilderland NY. I always wanted to try Mediterranean food.My first experience was AWESOME! The food was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable as we asked a lot of questions. He was very patient with us and able to answer our questions with a smile. The restaurant itself was very clean. I give the food, sever and restaurant 5 stars!
We had such a wonderful experience here celebrating a birthday! The Schenectady location is great too. The service was stellar, the atmosphere was beautiful and inviting, and the food was incredible!! Can’t wait to go back again!

I’d wanted to try Moroccan food for quite some time, and my experience at Tara has me hooked. The flavors! Absolutely incredible. Generous portions, attentive service, and a truly enjoyable meal down to the last bite. I can’t wait to return.

This was our first time at the Guilderland location having been to Schenectady several times. When we walked in we saw the buffet table and when seated, the waiter immediately told us we could go to the buffet when we were ready. Although we should have asked, we did not find out until the end that we could have ordered a tangine dish. The only menu in the table was for drinks. The couple near us were given the mint tea and after the waiter brought us our check and we asked if it was extra, he said no and poured each us a glass. The buffet it self was delicious and the price extremely reasonable but the waiter should have been more forthcoming. Back to Schenectady.

I really wanted to love this place. Went here with my wife on valentines day for a special night out. There were 2 tables seated when we arrived. Our food took over an hour to come out while I saw 8 people come and go for take out orders. I had lamb biryani and it tasted like boiled tasteless meat. I mentioned this to my waiter and he came back and said it was pressure cooked. Not a problem if done right. So they offered me a free dessert. Rice was perfect BTW. So I continued to eat the rice until I bit into a whole (I think) cardamom pod. Blew my mouth up. The only thing they did right for me was to take my meal off of the bill.

I was the biggest Tara fan when they were running a family restaurant in Schenectady. Their food is almost always delicious, but they don’t invest in their staff. They have at least four locations and no hint of even a single restaurant manager. Their staff are always young and inexperienced, and the service is almost always wonky. I still go here because the ambience is great and food is good, but just don’t expect good service.
