I was VERY impressed with Mazadar! I had the lamb/chicken combo with Mazadar rice, which was lightly spiced and fragrant, with a small salad. The lamb was cooked to perfection (I asked them to cook it slightly pink inside, they got it close enough!), and the chicken was moist and nicely spiced. Very generous portions too. I don't live around here but would definitely come again if I'm passing by. I HIGHLY recommend Mazadar!
One 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.
The menu is a fusion of Middle Eastern, Afghan, and American, making it somewhat unique. They take pride in serving healthy ingredients (organic, Halal, etc.) and have vegan options. The restaurant was simply decorated (more like a fast-food place) and spotlessly clean - even the restrooms. The food was excellent, the prices were good, and the service was superb - it has the feel of a place run by an immigrant who is working hard to make his American Dream come true by going above and beyond. I'm sure that if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular!
This 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
First time here I ordered the lamb chops, mantu, and chicken kabob and everything was amazing . The food came out so quickly. No complaints definitely recommend
Made 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!
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!
Great 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.
I 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.
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
