We came here for a family dinner and had a great experience. The name "Marash" comes from a city in…read moreTurkey known for its meat dishes, so my expectations were high--especially since the owner is from there. We all ordered grilled chicken BYO wraps, and they were so good that even my picky son wanted a second one. The toppings were fresh with a great variety. The white sauce was delicious, and the hot sauce wasn't too spicy--something everyone can enjoy. The place is much bigger inside than it looks and feels very clean and spacious. There used to be a pizza place here that didn't feel very clean, but now it's completely different--you can tell a lot of effort went into the renovation. Overall, it's a place we can comfortably enjoy as a family. They've been open about 7 months, and I hope they continue to get the support they deserve.

Food is ready quickly, though grilled items will take a few minutes more. For my first visit here, I ordered the Chicken Doner sub. The meat is prepared Turkish-shawarma style and served on a lightly toasted sub roll (roughly an 8" roll). I requested all the extras, which included the white yogurt sauce, a little of the spicy red sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and I believe cucumbers. It had great aroma and taste. The gentleman behind the counter (the owner maybe?) was very friendly and helpful with regard to ordering and preparing my sub. There's lots of tables inside of various sizes and heights, and plenty of parking outside. The worst part is waiting in anticipation in my car for those darn traffic lights on Route 9 and Old Loudon Rd. to turn green so I can get there!

I just stopped in real quick thinking it'd be a regular spot, but the food was actually so good. I got chicken over rice and a slice of pizza, and both were fresh, hot, and full of flavor.

Prices were fair too, which is always a plus. The store itself was clean and had a bunch of stuff if you need to grab groceries. Overall it just felt like a solid, reliable spot. I'll definitely be going back.

Chicken seemed a little too small cut, I hope it's not bought leftovers from other places but hope they doing their job right. I shall return. Post 3-4 hours update: I had to use the bathroom a bunch of times. My suspicion is correct, they probably do use older leftovers chicken /meat from other restaurants that was not used on time. The spicy sauces might be the issue too. But I definitely will try again.

I love Persian food and have had many wonderful meals in the Seattle and DC areas. I was excited that a Persian restaurant opened up in the Capital District. We got the Wednesday special, Zereshk Polo with Morq. The positive was that it was enough food for two adults for just $18. The texture was also quite good. While my wife thought the flavor was quite tasty, I hated it. I'm guessing that for the price instead of using proper saffron that was properly prepared they used some sort of a cheaper colored extract. We also got Chenjeh kabob. For $24 I expected a comparable quantity but this was roughly half as much food. While the flavor was decent, it wasn't great, and the texture left lots to be desired but that could just be the issue of the delivery time. The last dish that we got was the Mantoo. These were great texture and flavor and presentation and by far the winner from the three dishes that we got. While not the favorite Mantoo in our region, if I'm back at Neda's, that's what I'm ordering.

Traveling within about 5 minutes on the way to visit a good friend, and it happened to be right around lunch time, the opportunity finally came. It's a casual place, lots of 2 and 4 top tables, but what caught my eye when we went in was the cooler full of amazing side options. Then you look up and there's a beautiful oven and a dough station. This is looking great. We sat and ordered lamb kebab and doner kebab. A couple minutes later, a large (~11x17?) wooden tray appeared with a piping hot lavash bread and a plate of dill yogurt sauce. If the meal had stopped there, I would have been a happy camper. We had just had a few pieces when the kebab arrived, each with a pepper, tomato, some red cabbage, and onion. Both meats were authentic and delicious. My favorite way to eat my doner was with a bit of the bread, a bit of the dill sauce, some onion and cabbage, and a bunch of meat - a mini gyro, if you will. We took away about 1/3 of the generous portions and ordered a large mixed plate (all 10 of the sides) and baklava to take to our friend. It's a bit of a drive for us, but any time we're anywhere close, we're going to be back for sit down (if it's mealtime) or takeaway if it's not. I highly recommend you do the same.

The place feels much more modern and inviting now. Our family especially enjoys the beyti kebab, the güveç, and their pide. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but since their pide is very good, I imagine the pizza would also be solid. For me though, the real highlight at Alibaba is the mezze. In Turkish cuisine, grilled meats and kebabs are almost always enjoyed with a variety of mezze. They might technically be sides, but they're a big part of the whole experience. These days there are several Turkish kebab places in the area, but none of them offer a wide selection of fresh, house-made mezze like Alibaba does. At many places you're lucky if you find one or two options, often just a basic ezme. At Alibaba you'll find around ten different mezze and each one tastes distinct and freshly made. Every time I tell myself I'll just take a little... and somehow I end up filling a big mezze plate. Honestly, even when we grill at home, our motivation is picking up mezze from Alibaba to go with it. I'm not sure if it gets the credit it deserves, but don't skip the mezze here -- you'd be missing out. In fact, start with the mezze and figure out the rest later :))
