The absolute best Greek salad with grilled chicken I’ve had in a really long time! The celery salad was also delicious! Highly recommend!!

I've driven passed this place so many times and said I need to check it out. A lil over a month ago, I was at a gathering w friends in S. Troy....they ordered a handful of dishes from here that we shared. OMG!!! I'm so upset it took so long to finally try their food....EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS and portions were plentiful! I so recommend this place to everyone. I finally went back on Halloween for lunch. I got their small sampler; ate maybe ⅓ of it there; shared the rest w my Wifey the next day at home. They thru in an extra pita to enjoy w my leftovers.
My ONLY complaint....I don't know if they has recently mopped (good thing) or a mop bucket was nearby but it smelled like one was nearby when I ate there, ie. Soapy bleach water. Won't stop me from going back....that's for sure!

The small mezze combo comes with a decent portion. Hummus is very good 👍 👍

This is a small restaurant off of the main drag. It appears that it's mostly locals who dine here. (Which is a good sign!) We found this place while looking for a place to eat near our hotel. I will stay by saying I loved this place due to its authenticity. Two men working their tales off filling orders in a kitchen that was completely viewable from the sitting area. We were surrounded by families and locals and everybody was nice to us. I ordered the Mediteranian Pizza and it was very very good! You can tell all ingredients were fresh. I would certainly order food from this place again if I was in the area.

I tried this place after reading the positive reviews and it was excellent! I enjoyed the Curry Iskender. The freshly baked lavash bread a nice addition too!

Been eating here for 20+ years. The food has always been great- the staff has changed over the years but always friendly and fast…
Great food at a very reasonable price! Their menu had quite a few choices to choose from, make sure to bring your appetite because the plates are well portioned. I highly recommend getting a starter plate so you can have a taste of their various appetizers.

Found this gem in Troy, NY, and had an amazing dinner experience. Plenty of seating was available, the staff were nice, and the service was great. We ordered the Iskander Kebab, which came with rice and onions—absolutely one of the best dishes I’ve tried in a long time. The Adana Kebab was also tender and full of flavor. I wasn’t expecting such authentic Turkish food in a place like this, but it turned out to be one of the best meals I’ve had in upstate New York.
They also serve freshly baked bread with a yogurt dip as a complimentary starter—the bread tasted so fresh, and the dill in the yogurt dip paired perfectly. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be back!

This is probably the best place to eat within walking distance of RPI. I've had many lunch memories with my research groups here. I still stop by here whenever I'm in this area.

I had an amazing experience at Ali Baba Turkish Restaurant in Albany! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the warm bread and appetizers to the main dishes, everything tasted authentic and made with care. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is very friendly, attentive, and made us feel at home. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and service. If you’re looking for a place with true Turkish flavors and a great dining experience, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
Very nice
