Halal Restaurants near Rensselaer, NY

“I was good, got the lamb gyro which could use a little more flavor but was still good and the size was pretty decent, but the best thing I got was the mozzarella sticks they were extremely crispy but still melty cheese inside so overall the food was good“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! The quesadilla at Naan Kebab was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our food came out quickly and piping hot. Great service, great food, and definitely a place I’ll be coming back to! 🌮🔥“

“Always friendly service, good food fast, great packaging. And best of all a great price for a great meal.“

“I ordered the cheeseburger, with a side of fries….
The best burger I’ve had in a veryyy long time. Also, the fries? They didn’t need ketchup; finallyyy a place with fries that are seasoned enough, and not bland and/or dry. I have definitely found my new favorite place for burgers and fries, at least- but will definitely try other things.

And the man at the counter was very nice, even during what appeared to be a busy time. That is rare.“

“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“

“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.“

“This is a great location. The inside was nice and clean. We were a group of five people and the employee who took our order was awesome and patient while each one of us went through the line. Our food also came out a lot faster than I expected it to, so that's a bonus. Food was excellent as well.“

“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.“

“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“

“Very good food and service. Also has gluten free options.“

“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!“

“One of the few places you can halal pizza. We ordered the Mexican chicken pizza and it was super flavorful and spicy. Their other items like the quesadillas are really good too. My only gripe is that their hours seems to be random now, they used to be open everyday from 11 am to 11 pm and now most days I drive by, they're closed. It might be due to lack of staffing and it being a weird location, but you shouldn't sleep on this place.“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat around Latham, I enjoy the food and the warm atmosphere and service from staff. I haven't gotten any better tasting lamb kabab around here but at Zaitoon!!!“

“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.“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Delicious meal! Fast and friendly service!“

“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)“

“Aladdin consistently offers fresh produce and high-quality items. The staff provide excellent customer service, and the food is truly delicious. I highly recommend it. Thank you! !“

“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”“
