Mazadar Mediterranean Kitchen - Albany

Amazing experience! I had a layover and was staying near the airport, so I decided to walk the 6-mile round trip, and I can say it was absolutely worth it. The gentleman at the counter was incredibly polite and helped me navigate the menu with ease. I opted for the lamb chops, and they did not disappoint! The serving size was generous, and I ordered them medium, which meant a little pink inside. It's important to note that this is an Afghani restaurant, not Mediterranean, so the spices are different. If you haven't been before, I highly recommend going with a group and sharing everything family-style for the best experience!

My favorite place for kebabs during lunch. The portions are huge, and the side sauces are incredibly tasty. Food: 5/5

The food here is consistently fresh and outstanding. I usually eat in and order the beef kofta and lamb kebab combo. The mandu appetizer is a delightful and flavorful twist on dumplings. The staff is always very friendly. Food rating: 5 out of 5.

Very dirty tables. And if you want to leave satiated, don 't go. If you have the illusion you will be full after leaving this place, don 't go. Ordered lamb kabob entrees, and only six pieces of lamb were delivered on each platter, though they were strategically placed on a diagonal to make the platters appear full. The pieces of lamb did taste good, as did the rice. Bread is a joke. Upon receiving such a small quantity of lamb, I approached the guy at the front, who responded it was too much labor to provide more, said he charged me the same price as everyone else (a response that had nothing to do with what I was telling him), and I could order more food if I felt it wasn 't enough. I asked him to provide at least some extra chicken meat if lamb was too much for him, but he refused. Further, he served people who came later, first. We were both very hungry after wolfing down our measly portions. We angrily left, went grocery shopping for lamb, and cooked another meal at home, completely negating the point of going out in the first place. As my companion, more of an optimist than I am, said to sum it up: It was a nice appetizer.

This is a nice Mediterranean food restaurant with a good amount of options, and tasty high quality food. I really enjoyed the lamb kabob.Food: 5/5
