Went here with my mom today and the food was so delicious and freshly made! The couple running the cafe were so kind and attentive as well as well as got some fresh honey from them which is very good.

Wow! Authentic falafel is hard to find. This cafe is cute, and the food is great. Generous portions and friendly couple that runs it. Most of the food is fresh and they take a lot of pride in handmaking traditional Egyptian food. Will definitely visit here any time I am in Albany.

Best falafel I’ve ever had. Very friendly proprietor! The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, really top tier. Also inexpensive. There’s no vibes here, but that’s sorta charming. It’s in the basement of an office building, tucked away. Maybe call in advance if you’re in a hurry. I’d love to have a lunch spot this delicious near me. I’d suggest getting take out, unless you’re into hanging out in office building basements. It’s not bad, it’s clean, but go for the food not the atmosphere.

Probably best falafel I've ever had. I love falafel and as soon as I saw these I thought, these don't look right. Then I took a bite and realized every other falafel I've had has been wrong. They were so light, crispy. I ordered the spicy ones and they were delicious. I also got the grilled chicken feta platter with tzatziki sauce. Every bit of it was delicious The chicken, feta spread, rice was all excellent.
This is a tiny cafeteria like setup in a corporate building on Wolf Rd. I initially thought the address was wrong and gave up. But then I saw the business name on the sign along with the others in the building. Small mom and pop shop (literally), owners were super friendly. Not the fastest service. They seemed a little stressed trying to keep up with the lunch rush at 12:30 but nothing major. There's a few tables across the hall to eat in. I took mine to go. Will 100% be back. I did notice some people ordered ahead and picked up. This might be the move going forward.

This place is fantastic. Hot soup, fresh falafel, the best french fries. Ma and pa run and owned. Everything they serve up has so much love, you can taste it! Been back several times and will be back again. Slightly weird location in the back of a big cooperate bank / office building but easy, free parking in the back (where Bon Appetit can be found)! Thank you!!

Atmosphere not necessary when you are savoring an authentic, cooked to order, fresh ethnic meal. Very reasonable prices. Mouth watering breakfast sandwiches too. So good!
Everything else was average or pretty underwhelming.

The owners are incredibly nice people serving authentic egyptian! Perfect for lunch and so close to library for easy lunch pickup. You just walk into office building past the wooden doors for NBT bank and you’ll smell the delicious food!
