“Unbelievable experience. The owner and staff are wonderful and make you feel like a guest in their own. The food was fantastic and of a rare quality. Located on a beautiful pedestrian street and facing a bookstore.Kid-friendliness: Our 2 year daughter made friends with some other kids and they laughed the whole time playing in the open-ish space.“
“On the very first night of Ramadan. I went into Mazadar just as the fast was breaking. The manager was flooded with orders. The place could be classified as casual with its numerous tables and families inside. I ordered the Chicken Kofta and it was simply divine. You couldn't tell me I wasn't dining in the finest Afghani establishment outside of the actual country. If I am ever in Colonie again, I will return.“
“We had a very fine experience with sophisticated flavors. A definite 5 stars from all four of us, two of which are particularly picky, and the others had years of Mediterranean food sampling experience. We loved the food, have literally ordered 9 dishes to share and enjoy, and not a single one was subpar.“
“First time in Athos and YOU have to go! A small, local restaurant that provides great service and food. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and makes great recommendations. The grilled octopus was exceptional, with excellent quality and taste. The ambiance is a welcoming and charming setting. They made us feel comfortable and provided us with an unforgettable experience.“
“Inconspicuous and casual; don't let the simplicity of this place fool you. Their food rocks.Quality ingredients and food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Stop by for a quick meal, and you won't be disappointed. Ralo's a good guy.“
“Just a Great Place to Eat! I've been an Albany area resident all my life and never had dinner at Barcelona prior to now. We got lucky with no reservation and were seated right away. It's a very nice atmosphere, white tablecloths and sweet surroundings. Our server Anne was superb. The orders were for chicken, clams and mussels, and scallops. Each dinner was very tasty, done just right. The sauces were excellent, no need to expound further. I hope this wasn't a freak visit. When I return I want the experience to be the same.“
“If I could give them 10 stars, I would. All the workers are unbelievably friendly & as I am a regular there, they remember my order. Not only is the service outstanding, the food ALWAYS holds up in tastiness & generous portions.If they opened a whole restaurant, I’d be a regular there too“
“Went to Afghan Kabab for takeout lunch. Walk in, the restaurant is on the left in the plaza. I ordered the Chicken Kebab and a Snapple drink. Came to $14. You get a mini salad with the dish which is nice. The dish itself was really great. The chicken was very flavorful had a nice spice to it but not overpowering. The green sauce is amazing. Dunking the chicken in it made it so much better. The Pita bread was ok nothing special same as the salad. The rice was also nothing special, cooked well. But the chicken with the sauce, awesome. Highly recommend getting food here.“
“Delicious: ) ordered a pineapple smoothie that tasted so refreshing & at peak ripeness. Happy sipping this while I chatted with owner and my chicken kebab was prepared. Kind man with a lovely attitude on life. Salad veggies were crisp & fresh. Cilantro vinaigrette is fantastic. Aromatic green w a serious kick! My lips were on ? & i loved it. Chkn was seasoned nicely . very tender & juicy. (Halal meat just tastes better)over a generous pile of rice. Enough for lunch tastes even better day after. Had to try the homemade melt in your mouth baklava. Wow. I'm happy & I can't wait to go back for more: )Vegetarian options: Falafel is always yummyParking: Tucked in a "strip mall" of sorts on Wolf rd. Found parking easily on a StPatrick's day busy Sunday afternoon“
