SPECTACULAR. We pulled off route 90 for some quick food, and picked this place to try something a little different. The food was over the moon good and affordable too. Just walking into the restaurant to pick up the food, you're met with the delightful aroma of Afghan cuisine. I can't recommend this place enough. Public parking within a block of the restaurant.

This is comparable to the Shawarma that you’ll get down in NYC and Patterson, NJ. Absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. The chicken platter was delicious. And this will definitely be my regular spot. It’s also very affordable which is always a plus

Incredible gyro - a consensus reached by myself (a gyro aficionado), my girlfriend, and my friend visiting from Jordan. It's wonderfully flavorful as was everything else there. It's spicy (as it should be) so a heads up to anyone with a low spice tolerance. Highly recommend!

My favorite eatery in albany area. Love the consistency of their delicious food. No place came close to beat their lamb shank and white sauce.Must try chicken over rice and lamb shank over rice.

Food is delicious but I’d prefer to have them chicken chunks instead minced one for platter. Also the price is bit expensive for the quantity they provide. Overall it is average

I can't believe I waited this long to review one of my favorite restaurants in Albany! This "hole in the wall" Afghan food is splendid. It's a discreet little series of shops and Middle Eastern restaurants right on Central Ave. The food is absolutely delicious, mostly consisting of kabobs of different meats. My personal favorite is the simple chicken over rice dish which is only $7 at the time of this writing. Regardless of your order, be sure to try their red, green and white sauce all have a unique flavor and are a luxury to the taste buds. They only have canned soda, so I'd recommend trying some Afghan Doogh drink or tea. It's a quiet, small casual environment. Enjoy!

Their chicken kababs are best in town. I love their falafal and chicken over rice too. very authentic food and very cheap too. If u go for dinner, be aware where u park ur car. The neighborhood is not so safe. Our car was broken once fo steal the handbag on rear seat.
