Trying this for first time. Supposed to be best Halal in town. I have to say it is. The food was…read moreexcellent. Tasty, but most of all fresh. I ordered the mixed grilled kabob combo. The lamb was succulent, chicken perfect, and kafka great. The rice is the long grain pasta like rice. Salad fresh. Also got the chicken kafka wrap. It was excellent with three pieces. Inside the establishment is a tiny but very clean place. You can tell they pride the cleanliness and make it truly Halal. About the only downside is the area. I never saw more degenerates in one place in my life. Since the grilled kabob was fresh, had to wait 20 minutes, which made for entertainment seeing all the locals on drugs, selling drugs, and with their pants half way down. God bless Albany. Well done city council.

We popped in to Ya Hala randomly after having to run a few errands in the area. There was ample…read morestreet parking so we were in no rush. The owner, Sal, came over to our table while we scanned the menus and introduced himself. He gave us a complimentary taco each and said "these are the best tacos you've ever had." I loved the confidence and I loved that he was right. It was love at first bite. We ordered a quesadilla, a chicken salad, a plate of fries, more tacos and a gyro (assuming we would be taking most of it home and eating it for dinner over the week) The quesadilla & gyro were delicious and fresh. They were still tasty as leftovers 2 days later. I wasn't crazy about the salad but that's probably my fault. Ya Hala does comfort junk food - this is not the time to be calorie-conscious. Sal checked in on us a number of times while we were eating. The restaurant is a small hole-in-the-wall with a few booths and a bathroom. I assume most of their business comes from people doing take out at the end of their work day. If I lived or worked closer, I would be a regular customer here. In the end, Sal packed our food in to-go boxes and gave us a free gyro as a surprise. At some point during dinner, my husband mentioned I was Yelp Elite. In the interest of full disclosure, at no point did Sal ask me to leave a favorable review or use his free food as a bargaining chip. This review is done without taking the free gyro into consideration.

Nothing has come close. When I come to a decent sized city I look out for good restaurants to try. I was excited to see how the falafel was at Mazadar. Walking in I was greeted by friendly staff. There was a casual atmosphere. The felafel was the best I've ever had. I've had felafel all over the world in authentic restaurants. This was the best. From the bread to the balls to the salads to the sauces. Pure perfection. Everything was so fresh and so delicious.

There's great ambiance in the booths and tables, to sit in the corner for privacy, room for groups, a welcoming bar, and even a few nice tables out front (albeit in the parking lot, but still more than most places can say). The cocktails also aren't bad and the Thai food is great. Sushi has been enjoyable too. Last night we did pick up, and the pad see u was saucy and delicious and ready in 15 min. Special shout out for the mango sticky rice - mango was *actually* ripe. Which is exciting if you're frequently let down by under ripe mangos.

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.

Mr. Halal turned out to be surprisingly pleasant! The food was delicious, and their Mr. Halal sauce was a standout. The rice platters, falafel, and gyros were tasty, though I wish they'd included more meat in the dishes. I also enjoyed their pita with hummus - it was different from what I was used to! Safe to say, my stomach was satisfied that night. It's definitely a spot I'd order from again and would recommend!
