I got the chicken kabob and my friend got the lamp chop and let me tell you everything was Soo great!!! Oh yea the dumpling app is good and different as well! Very happy will be coming back! Especially the lamp chop was sooooo gooddd !!! Omg !!
Fisrt time try Mediterranean food in Albany.My friend and I order Mantu for appertizer, entree: burger and lamb kabob. Also ordered hot Afghan tea 🍵 (with cardamom), it is little spicy, good for cold days.
I will definitely eat here for lunch again. First time trying a meal from this place and they provided one of the best tasting meals so far up in albany!
Live in Hudson valley, been to Albany a few times, always come to this place! And i get their chicken kabob platter, the chicken is so tender and juicy! Continues to impress me..Yeah prices are a bit high, but service is great, restaurant is clean, ample amount of seating, parking is easy! This place is much better than some of the other halal places in Albany which are in some sketchy areas!Go here peeps...!
The food was amazing. I got a chicken kofta wrap and grilled wings, both which I would highly recommend. I dined in and they have three sauces for the table. The hot sauce was top notch, there was a white sauce and green/pesto sauce which were also very good. Highly recommend
The food here is delightful. I always get the chicken wings with fries and the beef and lamb kofta in a wrap. They have all three sauces that are brought to the table after ordering; white, green and red. They also have great vegetarian options as well. I highly recommend Mazadar! Please go and enjoy!
I have NEVER been disappointed! Ever. Reasonable pricing. Very good portions. The sauces are great. Good variety on the menu. I have started working my way around the menu with good success. You cant go wrong here!
It was fine, everyone was quite pleased with their food. There was a limited menu but did have several veg options too which was excellent foe the vegetarian of the group. The chicken wings were received well also. It is a fast food feel. Food came out quite quickly, luckily!
Have had a few delicious meals from here. Delivery is always very fast. The lamb is tender and not over cooked but has a delicious charred flavor. The rice, naan, and white sauce were all great too. Love this place.
Have eaten at their location on Central Avenue and ordered delivery / pickup multiple times. The food has always been good and tastes healthy. We have normally got the vegetarian platter and the falafel one. Both are ample food for a lunch for two people on a working day. This place is very reasonable priced too and is a perfect guilt free option for days you don’t want to cook. Lot of vegetarian options too.
I noticed this restaurant when my office moved down the street. I love Mediterranean food so today my spouse and I stopped in and grabbed lunch. He absolutely loved his falafel burger. My falafel salad was so good. We also ordered a dish I forgot the name of, some type of korma, and it was incredible. We werent even able to finish our meals! I will defintely order for work lunches in the future!
Loved the dumplings for appetizer and the volcano burger. Each was flavorful and rich.
Was in town visiting family and decided to grab a bite. Food was very good and very flavorful. Miriam was super friendly and very courteous.
The best lamb kabob I’ve ever had, good service. Definitely coming back.
We always stop by Mazadar on our way home to New York from Vermont. The food is great and the service is always friendly and accommodating. Recommend the falafel and lamb kebab platters as well as the mantu. The portions are generous and the sauces are super flavorful. Well definitely be back again!
I had the chicken kabob and my fiance had the lamb kabob. The chicken was seasoned so fantastically. And I tried a piece of the lamb it it was cooked to perfection. The rice was amazing and the baklava was some of the best I have had in awhile! You will not be disappointed when you come here. It is not too expensive too!!!
Mazadar really deserves 5 stars! The food was excellent, we had the lamb and beef wraps. The food came out quickly and the flavor was out of this world.
Very pleasantly surprised. I have issues with spicy-hot dishes and found lots of things to choose from. I had kabob chicken salad and asked for ranch on the side. The house white sayce was much tastier! My husband tried lamb kabob and enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere, the two toddlers ate a lot and its very clean. Young man at the counter was really polite and accommodating. The baklawah was yummy.
They have the best lamb I’ve ever had. And their ice cream is so creamy and sweet. I had their chicken wrap and it was very good but the lamb was seriously excellent.
Food was delicious! Nice and clean restaurant, and the food was served at the right time. Cannot wait to come back!
The food was really good! The falafels were tasty and cooked to perfection. The chicken and lamb were flavorful along with rice. The white sauce was on point. The restaurant was clean and social distancing was being maintained. The service was fast and pleasant! A must try in Albany.
Working in the area from out of town and tried this on a whim. Very glad I did and Ill probably make this a weekly stop! There was enough food for 2 meals for me!Im not familiar with Afghan food so no idea how authentic it is, nor do I care lol. It seemed the staff was maybe Bangladeshi or Pakistani vs Afghani. The food tasted like (quality) nonveg Indian food, but without the awful added sweetness every Indian restaurants sauce has (finally! Yay!). I will definitely be back! (Also if the owners own Indian restaurants in the area, get rid of that pre-made sweet sauce, it is terrible)खाना बहुत अच्छा था!
Great Mediterranean food and friendly service. Very spacious restaurant in a good neighborhood and ample of parking available.Liked their falafal and chicken kababs.
Mazadar has the best chicken Gyro! I’ve been here literally 4 days in a row! The food is always fully flavored and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite spots I highly recommend eating here!
Ive been here several times and I wanted to share some photos of the food. The food is absolutely delicious. Between the Mantu, Chicken Kabon, Chicken Kofta, and the Lamb Chops I have to say theyre all equally tasty. The food is full of flavor.Definitely recommend this place.
This is a fantastic gem. The food is to die for, very fresh. As is the case with most restaurants, the price is higher than average prices a few years ago, but no more expensive than most restaurants that are serving less delicious food. Service is very very helpful and friendly too.
Amazing food! The kabobs are so delicious, correctly seasoned and soft. The plate is big and has an equally fragrant rice, bread and salad on the side. Definitely recommend as a kabob place around Albany.
Great healthy food quick! The whole family enjoyed their meals.
Underated Afghan place in Capital region. Great food. Stand outs are the egg plant & bolani. The Lamb and lamb chops are good.(Not amazing). My friend was pretty happy with the chicken kebob & kofta.
Mazadar is great! Great service, they have a big dining area for families and delicious healthy food. Their lamb chops is my all time favorite and it comes with rice and salad. Strongly recommended.
Amazing food, friendly employees. One of my favorite places to eat! Have only had the chicken wrap so far and it was fabulous. I will be working my way through the menu over the next few weeks!
The food was tasty and well seasoned. I would definitely recommend!
Everything is so delicious! And the staff is very friendly :)
Just ate here for the first time today. I had Mantu for an appetizer which was delicious, and lamb kebab which was also top notch. I saw upon leaving that they say their meat is all naturally grass-fed organic halal. I will say its the best lamb Ive had in a long time, and it was very reasonably priced. The Kebab also came with delicious, flavorful rice and a salad. Vegetarian options available. I will definitely be back
The food was delicious. We ordered 2 teas but they didnt have any sugar. They had a few old and hard Splenda packets and 3 packets of sugar.The chicken platter with kabli rice, the humus, and the bread were really good!There were dirty tables but we were able to find a seat. We would definitely go back to this restaurant if we are in the neighborhood.
My mom and I came to Mazedaar yesterday and were greeted by the nicest hostess. She really gave us great service and was an absolute sweetheart! She also handled the dinner rush like a boss! And of course the food is always amazing here, we both really enjoyed everything :)
Amazing service, food is always fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.
Overpriced food with low quality. Very dissapointing and wouldn’t eat here again. If you are looking for Mediterranean food, don’t come here, you’ll be very disappointed.
I had an issue with the online order, it was for pick-up. I called before getting there and the woman on the phone was polite and offered a refund if I was charged twice.They made the food quickly and it was great.
Very cleanFriendly staffHigh-quality and tasty foodGreat burger!!One of my favorite restaurants in the US
Food tastes good but not worth for money you pay. Picture is of their combo Lamb Kabob & Chicken Kofta for 18.95 (take out). Probably worth for a restaurant with more ambiance with sit down dinner . But not definitely for a takeout like I did. But you decide.
Pumpkin appetizer - excellent! So was eggplant appetizer. Had lamb - chicken combo - phenomenal, got three meals out of it. Going back very soon to try again. Wife and I loved it, great people, very nice. Pete, Delmar, NY.
Dont overlook this place. It looks a like a chain but after a little research it doesnt seem to be one. We both got the lamb wrap and it was good. I wouldnt say it was a life changing taste of Mediterranean food but after a long day on the road it was satisfying and the staff was nice. The lamb was of a good quality.
So we were randomly driving through and found this gem! I had the lamb wrap and my wife the chicken wrap and I will say it was truly excellent.
Delicious food and great service. We had the falafel wrap and the chicken wrap. Both were equally delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back.
If you ever wanted to try middle eastern food, this is the place! Chicken Kebob is melt in your mouth soft with tons of flavor. Lamb is one of the best I’ve ever had, tastes like softer cut of steak packed with flavor. They really know how to cook here. Portions are perfect. Staff is so kind and humble. Wish this place was closer to home. I been here twice and I travel from Clifton park. Must try!
Better than a lot of the halal food carts in nyc. Was pleasantly surprised.
Try everything. One of the few good places to eat weve found since moving to the area.
The interior design is gorgeous and the restaurant serve quality food which tastes great.
Fast service. Lots of option. Healthy food. Clean tables and service. Restroom was cleanest part of the business.
Great food and friendly service, always enjoy lunch here.
Great place! Lamb plate and mantu were awesome!!!
Highly recommend this place! They have AMAZING food and great service. The place is always clean and it’s family friendly.
Excellent food and filling portions!!! The best Mediterranean restaurant in the Capital District!!!
Delicious and such high quality ingredients. Coming from a foodie farm kid like myself, I was thoroughly impressed. Organic and grassfed meat in a restaurant is rare but considering how delightfully seasoned everything was too... that makes Mazadar a unicorn!Prices were very fair especially in light of their high quality and larger portion sizes.Their Afghan tea and ice cream desserts were lovely too.
I wish the naan was larger but with the amount of rice you get you cant complain about the portion sizes.Flavorful, spiced, made to order, grilled meat.5 stars
Not usually a huge fan of kabobs as the meat typically seems to dry, but this place got it right. Best chicken and salmon kabobs ever, and the lamb in the lamb wrap was amazing (and I’m not particularly fond of lamb so that’s saying a lot). Very friendly service, very good food, huge servings.... total win. Highly recommend!
Good Mediterranean food! More portions will make it even better
The food is fresh tasting and delicious. The sauces are so good too. I usually get the chicken kabob. I dont love their hummus but everything else has been fantastic.
Great food, I love Mazadar! They consistently deliver delicious and fresh food. The extra $1.50 to add the kabuli (caramelized carrots and Golden raisins) to the Mazadar rice is well worth it - so tasty. Extremely clean dining room and the staff is so friendly!
Three good was so delicious I thought I was in a five star restaurant. Absolutely amazing. Im be back with friends.
I come here for lunch and love their falafel wrap.. Ingredients are very fresh, and falafel is packed with fresh spices, with white sauce, makes me come back for more. I have tried chicken kabobs and koftas before, and those are really tasty, but their lamb is the best. Highly recommended 👌
This is my new favorite place! The food was awesome and the staff was great! Just go!
We love this place! Staff is a pleasure and very attentive to their customers. The food is delicious and super flavorful. The portion size is generous. We enjoyed the Kadu Borani (sweet baked pumpkin) as a starter and the Lamb Kabobs for our entrees. Adding the Kabul is a must...its soooooo good.We cant wait for our next visit. This is a must try.
Don’t go here they just like to make money off of people even though the food was raw and not appetizing nor appealing in any way. After complaining and sending them pictures of the raw meat and uncooked rice they refused to refund my money. I know Afghan food and this is not afghan at all!!!!!
Such a great find! Amazing flavors and nice atmosphere. Best falafel Ive ever had. Hummus was so good we got some to go. I am looking forward to trying more food there. The Afghan yogurt drink, which Ive never seen on a menu, was really good. Bravo and thank you.
The food here is amazing! I had the chicken kabob wrap and wow… it was so tasty! Highly recommend. It’s also very clean inside.
This place is a modern Afghan fastfood spot which is not always easy to do. Good food and great prices. Got the mixed beef and chicken kofta/koobideh
I really enjoy this place. Well cooked food and generous portions. Staff and family who run it are extremely nice too.
Very good food and a good selection. i recommend asking for the salad on a different plate.
These Indian ppl have over priced the food its expensive and not that good either i reccommend zaitoon or aria kabab reasonable pricing
Prices are sky high, small portion, and on top of everything else , rude staffnot recommended
Delicious Mediterranean entrees and the aromatic delights to the senses; all found here.
Stopped here for lunch driving from Mass to NY college trip. Had a fabulous and authenic meal. Had lamb kebabs, falafel and beef and lamb kofta wrap. All amazing. Fresh spices, but not too 🔥. Place was clean and friendly. Highly recommend for a change of pace meal!!! Cheesecake was also great!.
I had such terrible service here. My order was taken way after several people that came after me and I was being completely ignored. Then in middle of taking my order the person left and didn’t come back for several minutes to help others - again that had came after me. Extremely rude
Awesome food. Consistency is always spot on. The mantu is killer. Service is always quick.
Chicken and Lamb Kabob Combo was cooked/grilled to perfection!!I wish I had more errands to run in that area to give me a chance to return more often. Mazadar must mean Tasty Food in Afghani 😉. Ive been here at least 20 x since they opened. Love it everytime. They should franchise!
Food is great but do confirm that they have the right order. I ordered two burgers at the counter and waited 30min and only got one burger. Had to wait another 20min for the burger because they forgot. By that time the first one became cold and soggy. Disappointed in their service. Food tastes amazing tho when it’s not cold
Mazadar is one of our favorite places to get food fast, without it being fast food. The chicken kebab is always flavorful and not bone dry. I especially like it in a salad, but there are several options. My wife loves the white sauce. I recently just had their chicken wings. They were so good, I never even bothered putting the sauce on them. My only complaint is that there isnt a menu option for just the wings (they come with fries). The people there are always super friendly and my go-to orders are always right.
In the top 3 of the most flavorful and perfect meals Ive ever had in the Upstate NY region. We tried several dishes, even though there were only two of us. Completely authentic, beautiful presentation, and each dish tasted very different than the previous one. Prices are extremely reasonable, the place has a polished modern look, and great Middle eastern/Mediterranean music which we know follow on Spotify. This will be one of our favorite places for sure.
This place is great. Quick, kind and delicious. Definitely recommend.
Delicious and flavorful food! Loved everything! Got the filet mignon kebab and my fiancé got the lamb, both were seasoned very well! It came with rice ( so good! ) afghan naan ( fluffy yet crispy, yum!) and side salad! The white sauce has lots of dill , which I loved . And the hot sauce was not spicy to me, but I loved it anyway! The flavor was unlike any other hot sauce I’ve ever tasted! 5 out of 5 for me , would definitely recommend eating here!
They gave me baklava, absolutely disgusting. It must be in the fridge for over a month
OMG. If you are looking for middle eastern cuisine then you absolutely have to check out Mazadar!! I went for lunch with my vegetarian girlfriend, she ordered the veggie sampler platter and I got the house specialty Lamb chops. Everything was perfectly cooked and super delicious. Service was impeccable and the place could double as an emergency room it’s so freaking clean. #GetThere
1 star- only because I cant go below that. First, they have their menus sitting there with old price for months, they dont have the time to update those. When I asked why I was charged higher than the price shown in the menu, the guy answered very rudely. They are not willing to accept the fact that they failed to do their job, update the menu in a timely manner.Second, the food quality is getting worse day by day. They served undercooked lamb kabob, totally raw inside.
Very delicious food and very clean inside the restaurant.
The place is my go to place. Their food is always fresh and tasty. I really recommend their lamb chops. They are my absolute favorite. The restaurant is clean and their service is amazing. I only wish the serving size were a tad bigger but other than that i love this place!
I came once and now visit it every week sometimes couple times per week,they cook very very delicious kebab! I haven’t been to any other places like this! Thank you so much
I got the chicken kabob platter. The chicken itself was great, rice was good but I wish they had kabuli pulao. A little pricey, but good quality. My main issue here is the same issue I have with other places, stingy with the sauce! We got 2 platters but only two small white sauces, and no hot sauce. Please pay more attention to that! Otherwise very good!
Wow ! I had come in today for dinner and was recommended by a friend after trying a new kabob place which opened up not to far from here... I was so BLOWN AWAY by the food here . Superb spicing of the rice and meats. The lamb chops were soo tender and juicy I have never tasted food that precise in seasonings and well cooked. The price was perfect for the amount of food which was served to me. I say this because if a person wants to eat healthy and fresh, it comes with a little bit of good spending. Clean environment. Friendly staff. Thank you for enriching Central Avenue. Hats off MAZADAR !
Great Food, Fast Service,Big Menu
Absolutely the best hidden gem for a quick bite that wont break the bank and is still very light yet filling. Highly recommend the mantu and the lamb kebab or chicken kofta/kebab combo platters. Best spot for a lunch or a fast dinner where you dont want another burger. Definitely make sure to get the white sauce for SURE
Outstanding food. Must eat are the eggplant appetiser, falafel platter and the beef kabob. Service is also great. Great value for your money.
Great food, great price. Everything tasted fresh and the establishment looked like it was brand new. We did not believe them when they said it was open for years.
I was recommended by a friend and they were right! Food was delicious and completely outstanding. Everything, I had here tasted really good. The service was excellent. Waiters were very nice and polite. The ambience is great. You should definitely try the lamb chops and the kabobs. I highly recommend this restaurant. This will be my new favorite restaurant in Colonie.
Good food but the guy really smells bad and I lost my appetite.
We were here on a Friday night and had good dinner. Its similar to packed halal meals I would have in New York City food stands. Their servings here though looked bigger (I am not sure) as the plates are large ones. Beef and lamb meals were good.
So good. Lamb and chicken platters are great. Falafel wrap is great. Clean and delicious. Highly recommend.
Every meal here is delicious. Never disappointed. I have brought picky eaters who have liked the food. Kids can get chicken wings or a burger.
Great atmosphere, delicious food, and OMG the Volcano MazBurger
Had a chicken kabab wrap got food poisoning the sauce was bad or the chicken was old coz the bread they make there was fresh..and for sure these people do not war gloves in the kitchen. Wil not visit again
The food was delicious and service was excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone craving Mediterranean food without breaking the bank! Make sure to ask for all the sauces - the green one was my favorite. Cheers!
This restaurant has some amazing food, ranging from rice and kabobs to wraps to burgers and much more. I personally love the chicken kabob with rice, the rice is flavorful and the chicken is nice and juicy. They also have some good dessert options. The layout of the restaurant is very big and spacious with plenty of room for a lot of customers. This restaurant is indeed the real deal and everyone should definitely check them out and visit as groups since theres something for everyone to enjoy.
Man did all the food smell good. We ordered pick up. I had the volcano burger, so spicy. I loved it. Rest of the family had a more traditional lamb kabob. Had a nibble of the kabob too. Will come back
Nice casual restaurant. The only Afghani restaurant in the area that I know of.
My favorite restaurant since day one ! Almost everything is delicious. But my favorite is lamb chops with fries and i love their fries. This place its always my go to since its super halal.
This place is amazing! They are getting better each time I’ve eaten there. They have added Quesadillas, burgers, mixed combo platters , etc. as they are always listening to their customers. They treat you right and are relatively well-priced with the portion size given. I look forward to coming back and trying new things , thank you!
Food was amazing, they mixed up my order with someone else and worst yet when I got back to work to eat the food it was cold.More than likely it was due to the mix up. Luckily theres a microwave.
The food here is great! Will definitely stop by again when I’m in town
Fantastic food and excellent value. I appreciate how simple the menu is. Service was very quick. Highly recommend - will be back to try something new
We got two volcano burgers and they both ‘erupted’ …The buns would fall apart when you would try to lift up the burger, you cannot eat this burger without a fork and knifeThankfully we had our daughters baby wipes to clean up the messThe fries were good though
Me plus one didnt actually go there were more like a ride by but it looked like a nice place and I reserved the right to check them out and give you a better review have a nice day be well
Freshly made kabobs. Great food and service Enjoyed with my family. Thank you. Well be back.
This was my first time here and actually ran into a colleague from work who said he goes there weekly. I ordered the chicken and lamb combo, it was delicious. I was glad I got extra sauce, all three are flavorful.BUT I wish they served vegetable kabobs! I would have much rather had grilled veggies instead of the side salad that I didnt eat. I really hope they add veggie kabobs to the menu and as part of the combo but will be back regardless.
So happy after eating at Mazadar!! Food was fresh and plentiful, lady at the counter was super friendly, and the pricing was very reasonable. My son was gushing over the food, especially the extra crispy fries. I hope this place stays open for a long, long time.
Good food, halal, not too far from the mall. Worth stopping if looking for a quick place to eatPrices were reasonable
Delicious, fresh, authentic food! Tried this place for the 1st time today, and was highly impressed , will definitely return here when i come to Albany! I would give five stars if the price can be a tad bit lower, or portion a little bigger..Other than that EXCELLENT food!
Everything we had was fabulous! Friendly atmosphere. The Afghan ice cream is phenomenal! Go now!
My family and I have been coming to Mazadar since it opened. Got to say it’s getting better and better each time. The flavors are impeccable and the sauces can’t be found anywhere else. The kofta kabobs is a must when I visit. Prices are reasonable for being organic.Linda is always a great host. Learned they’ve recently added burger items to the menu; it’s going to be my next tasting adventure there.
I ordered the lamb kebab with rice,and lamb was outstanding, moist and tender. Accompanying sauces on the side compliment the flavors. Bread was warm and great. Service was fast and very pleasant!! I will be back!
Never disappointed to eat at Mazadar. The food quality is amazing and the taste oh so savory! I take family and friends there often knowing well have tasty food at no risk. 10/10 recommended.
Overall I thought this place was a good place to have lunch,but as soon as I walk in the door I was not greeted. I gave the lady 30 seconds as I was looking at the menu to say something but not a word. Every customer needs to be acknowledge all the time, thats how you keep your clientele. Great affordable prices, Ill try next time. Aug 7, 2019 11:48am
Good food, friendly staff. Had the Chicken kabob plate, was excellent with the white sauce.
Great food and excellent customer service
So far the best Afghan kabob I had in the area! The taste of the rice is hard to beat! My wife and kids loved the chicken kabob! Great service and food for a new restaurant!!! Will be a regular there !
I work near the restaurant and went in for dinner as a carry out and I must say the food was packed to perfection. Gave me extra sauces (without asking for ) and the food was nice and warm when I got home. The boxes they use state that they have been made with 40% of natural minerals! Good for the environment.I ordered the chicken kabob and mantu. The mantu is a dumpling filled with organic grass fed beef and other spices. Topped with the perfect amount of lentils! I’m pleased to know that the meat Mazadar uses is all organic ! Yes all grass fed and veggie fed top meat! I’m glad we now have great food nearby my job. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!!!!!!
Excellent food and friendly service.
The BEST kabob house hands down. Atomasphere is very spacious and comfortable, customer service is very pleasant. Very fresh food and most importantly yummy kabobs! Anyone who hasn’t tried this place is really missing out. Very satisfied.
All the food we ordered was cooked and spiced perfectly. Super friendly staff as well.
Delicious food. Large portions. Good for families. Try the pumpkin appetizer. Yum!
Yummy, amazing food and flavors. Had the chicken kabob wrap and also the lamb. (My husband and I travelled through Albany from Binghamton. He is an expert of lamb and he was blown away with the tastiness and delicious pita and nana.) Isaac, our greeter was so attentive and gave us three delicious sauces to try with our meal. Terrific job. Immaculately cleaned, bright, neat they have electronic menu displays, easy order, great prices, then sit down, meal brought over and just eat. Should be a future chain in every city. Hope u add a vegan meal to your menu like Koshari. Hope for future success for such innovators. Mazadar rocks!
The falafels and rice are incredible. I got lost while eating and the next thing I knew it was gone. Not sure if I came up for air.
Having just opened I’m excited to see how this style of food is received locally. The food has tons of vibrant flavor. Maybe the best naan I can remember, second only to Maharaja on Wolf. Love the homemade quality ingredients, Halal is a plus. It’s a locally owned place, despite the upscale and thoughtful decor, though you might not know it. Definitely going back. A lot!
My family had eid dinner at Mazadar after hearing terrific reviews, and was not disappointed! The owner is native from South Asia, so the food is true to its origins. Authenticity and amazing service with a pleasant ambiance.
Though it is my first time tasting Middle Eastern food, I totally enjoyed it. Ordered Hummus, Chicken kofta, Chicken wings. Everything was served with Afghani naan( Best I’ve had so far). Ambiance is good, clean and quiet.I enjoyed every bite of each dish.
Amazing yummy food and bright atmosphere totally loved it. Food was fresh and flavorful we especially loved the chicken quesadilla. The rice was full of flavour and the meat was freshly cooked. Very yummy all in all it was perfect.
Best lamb wrap Ive had in 2 years! Super friendly. I cant wait to stop in again!
Great tasting, fresh, healthy food. Falafel tasted very good. Nice, clean environment. Be prepared to wait a little because they are making your food. I will definitely be back.
I had lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious. Tons of flavor and big portions. Food was fresh and healthy. Looking forward to going back soon!
Delicious food. Chicken was tender, juicy and well seasoned .The salad very fresh and included three different dressings to sample. Pleasant setting with lots of natural light and well spaced tables.
I went to Mazadar for the first time cause I was told the food was great and it was absolutely amazing! But my experience was even greater because Noah gave me exceptional service. I recommend Mazadar to anyone looking to eat some awesome food and who wants to experience top shelf customer service.
Delicious alternative to everyday food in the area. Fresh and uniqueDefinitely worth a try and the Nann bread was excellent 👌
Not enough quantity though nice and ample interior space. Good quality is excellent but not superior to Zaitoon and Afghan grill. Prices just a touch higher for similar food around with smaller servings so dont see them lasting too long unless they develop their ISP. Wish them luck.
Delicious food, great service, and very clean and bright atmosphere. Would definitely go there regularly if we lived nearby!
The best beef burger Ive had a long time. And everything is Halal so its wonderful.
Delicious food and polite and helpful service quite atmosphere. Large portions.
Amazing delicious. Eggplant (banjan borani) so good used bread to clean every savory drip of sauce. Lamb in kabob was simply perfect. Restaurant appropriately named: tasty. A surprising and welcome find. Reasonably priced. Friendly service. Ample parking. Very recommended.
Delicious food -- falafel, wraps and wings -- made from grass-fed meat and cage-free chicken, along with some yummy chocolate cake. Order at the counter, and your food is delivered to your table. My family of seven -- five kids, two adults -- gave it thumbs up. The service is friendly. There are also quesadillas and fries; something for everyone.
I tried both the chicken and ground beef kabob and couldn’t have been so disappointed. There’s no way in cold hell I would allow something like this to sell if I was a restaurant owner.
The restaurant is right by my job so I love to drop by for lunch. Wait times can be a little long, but its completely worth it for the amazing food and wonderful customer service! The restaurant is small, but it makes good use of the space. I never feel crowded or stuffed in. Very clean and all around pleasant to be in. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Mazadar is the real deal. Every item I have had here has been good, I normally get the potato bolani and mantu every time I go, and theyre delicious just like my mom used to make. Their lamb kabob is unlike any lamb I have ever had before, its so tender it almost melts in the mouth. They also have firnee as a dessert, and its so rich and creamy it is amazing. Great place with a cool atmosphere and vibe. You wont be disappointed.
Excellent cuisine, will try again for sure. The veggie sampler was a particular hit.
Foods were really tasty. I think its a very good place for kebab. You can have chicken, lamb and beef kebab here. Overall good value for money.
The vegetarian sampler platter is flavorful, fragrant & filling, perfect rice, spicy chickpeas, pumpkin and eggplant with yogurt, all delicious.
Great food. We stopped in Albany, NY for the weekend and this place was recommended. Did not disappoint and all the items we ordered from the menu turned out to be scrumptious!
Best organic kabobs and flavorful unique appetizers hands down. My go to spot when I want a good filling meal. Keep up the great work! Must try.
Its decent Afghani food .
Nice vibe, modern Mediterranean style, spacious, and most importantly great food. I ordered the chicken kebab, it came with rice, fresh salad and Afghan naan. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and experience!
The best food, atmosphere, and service that I ever had! Always with consistency in the quality of the food! The falafel is my favorite, but I ensure that anything will be delicious!
Good food. I tried lamb kebab. It was delicious.
Food was fantastic, highly recommend the chicken. Beef also had a great flavor. Hummus was nice and light. I will be back many times over.
Excellent Mediterranean food which is always made fresh. The portions are large. I love that we have options for different cuisine in the area. Definitely give this place a try
Delicious food and wonderful staff! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. For the similar price of a value meal at a fast food restaurant, anyone can get a great and flavorful meal in a really clean setting.
Food was fantastic, restaurant was clean and we had a very good experience overall. Staff were courteous and food didnt take long to get to our table. Would definitely recommend!
The food here is great! Good place for zabiha halal food. The menu isn’t overwhelming , but has the perfect amount of variety on there.The appetizers are really good ! Very spacious place. Best quality food for a fraction of a price
Clean environment, top customer service, and delicious food.. mantu (appetizer) and chicken kofta I tired was amazing!!!
Clean, friendly, truly unforgettable and super fresh food. A great addition to the local food scene!!
A friend recommended it. He said its legit halal food. Really good food. Clean.
Didnt expect such good Mediterranean/middle Eastern food on my way to Canada. Fantastic. Plenty of options even for vegetarians. Kids loved it too.
Very good. A little bit pricey, but worth it
I have ordered delivery several times and it has been awesome! Delicious food, fair prices, and order was fast and accurate. Highly recommend!
If you like Mediterranean grill the food is definitely amazing in my opinion it was a little bland and definitely could be spicier the appetizers are very small portion and its a little pricey so keep that in mind.
The food was delicious...with nice staff and clean place.....very very reasonable rates
Clean well organized and Fresh food. A lot of options to choose from and everything was served in a very short period of time
Very clean, net, and professional. I loved the food, it tasted so natural and delicious. Try it, you will love it.
The best Mediterranean food I have ever tasted after the food trucks beside the Hilton in NYC.The price is really cheap when compared to the food being delivered here. The flavor and the quantity is amazingly impressive.Really good place to have lunch or dinner.Must try place. Please do and you wont be dissapointed
I had the chicken kabob over rice. The food was good but almost 11$ for 4 small pieces of chicken was ridiculous. Zaitoon is cheaper and brings 2x the amount of chicken.
First visit and for take out the food in general was very delicious. If you like a little spice the fiery falafel Mazburger was dynamite!
Great Food but needs more Flavoring as for the Fried Chicken(which you can get anywhere should of gotten something more Exotic) were very Appealing in Looks especially the fact they dredge it in Tumeric but it needs more Seasoning altho the Lamb Kabob is good
Amazing food! Probably the best halal restaurant in Albany!
Good food. I’ve got lamb chops, mmm just delicious 😋
First time there and I loved it ! The chicken and lamb kabob is so delish !! Perfect place for friends and family! Tried their white sauce with my kabob and it was so so so good! Never tried anything like it
The food we had was absolutely delicious.
The lamb chops with the Afghan rice with raisins.........., Is worth every dollar! The environment is nice and the customer service is good. But the food is the best!
Had the lamb kabob today and it was excellent. Clean place and friendly staff.
It has the best Afghan food Ive ever tried
First time and the last timeBetter options for less availableVolcano burger was burntAlso chicken rice has a piece of metal in itAlso customer service is the worst
Please eat here so it doesnt go away! Love their food. You will not be disappointed. Wraps and salads are terrific.
Very good meditarian foods good variety of foods ,platters,wrap, good quality ,fresh foods clean place and friendly staff

2022-02-15Made an online order for chicken kabob because I didn’t really know what most of the food on the menu was! The chicken had so much flavor and I paired the white sauce (tasted like tzatziki to me) with what looked like homemade hot sauce and drizzled that over the top of my meal. It was great! Definitely going back - next time I’ll be adventurous and try something more exotic!

2022-01-23I had tried this establishment when it first opened and didn’t care for it much. I was told by a friend to try it as it is under new ownership. So I figured why not. I called in for a pick up order. Ordered Volcano Burger, Philly Cheesesteak, lamb chops and chicken over rice. The order was ready when I got there so I paid and brought it home. The food was really hot and delicious. I was especially amazed at the large portion sizes. It was a very positive experience under new ownership.

2022-07-01One of the best Mediterranean food we had in Albany. Freshly made and delicious. We had the lamb kabob with rice and salad and chicken kabob with rice and salad, both were amazing! Service is fast and the staff is good. The price for that quality of food is definitely worth it.

2021-09-20We live out of state and have enjoyed other Mediterranean counter service restaurants. This one did not disappoint! The service was friendly, the food tasty, and the portions generous. They were patient with our questions since this was our first time eating here. The dining room was bright and clean. Our food was well seasoned but not spicy hot. I ordered the chicken kofta. I think if I had to do over I would order the chicken kabob, but I still very much enjoyed my meal. I tasted some of my husband’s lamb and it was amazing. Very well cooked. If we lived nearby, we would definitely come back!

2022-02-02Great food for the price ! I mean cmon, if you want garbage food for a low price then people should go somewhere else. I’m a well known customer here and staff and the food is great. All good vibes at the restaurant and no service charge fee if you dine in. I’m a HUGE foodie and came all the way from NYC just to fill my craving of quality Mediterranean food.

2022-04-11This was actually one of the best lunches Ive ever had around here. Got the lamb wrap with a side of rice. 3 sauces were given to me. I reccomend you use them all because theyre all incredible (hot, green, and white). The lamb was so tender and flavored perfectly. Also the wrap was perfectly set up in the foil, you just keep pulling the foil back as you go and theres no spills. Fresh veggies in the wrap, all nice and crunchy. Afghan tea is really nice too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

2021-12-22This is my go to restaurant for Afghan food. My family and I have enjoyed eating at this place for some years now. Last time I was there the service wasn’t great my husband was done eating and then they brought my food. I hope that doesn’t happen again. I think they hired and changed the staff there. The white sauce was kind of watery.

2021-11-23Stopped in for a quick dinner, we got the vegetarian sample platter which was really good. The portion size was great and it came with some free naan. Will come back again.
