Food just wasn't hittin. Had the burger, chicken sandwich, fries and sliders. Fries weren't bad but nothing had much flavor. Establishment wasn't that clean either. They weren't rude and service wasnt bad so I can't rate 1 star but I definitely wouldn't eat here again. read more

Holy Burger opened on Central Ave in Albany, in the former Taco Bell. This NYC burger restaurant offers burgers, sliders, sandwiches, plant based sandwiches, wraps, hot dogs, tenders, cooler drinks, shakes, and desserts (ice cream, cookies). They also offer value combo meals. I stopped by Holy Burger in Albany for lunch recently. The place was moderately busy, so I placed an online order through Toast. DoorDash ordering was not yet available. I was quoted a 20 minute wait after ordering on Toast. I walk up to the counter at my scheduled pickup time, but was told it'll be ready soon. However, my order was ready to go, 20 minutes after pickup time with some orders after mine getting completed before my order. The kitchen was very busy, but not very organized or efficient. A couple folks from a nearby car dealership actually waited longer than me for a large order and they were also missing a few items (they checked their bags before leaving). Anyways, I was given a bottle of Boylan's Ginger Ale at no charge for the long wait. The 2 Spicy Chicken Wrap Combo ($7.99 plus tax) with crispy fries and small can of Shasta ginger ale were very similar to the McD spicy chicken snack wraps with a breaded chicken tender, spicy sauce & lettuce in soft flour wrap. The fries were nice & hot, crispy rough texture outside. The Chopped Cheese Sandwich ($8 plus tax) had plenty of grilled chopped beef with American cheese, holy sauce on a soft toasted bun. Other than the very long wait, I would probably come back again once the kinks are addressed and order the Holy Burger and a strawberry milkshake. read more

Holy Burger is a Halal restaurant with a full handhelds menu including burgers, chicken, cheese steaks, hot dogs, and fresh deli sandwiches. Excitingly they have a full vegan menu, and gluten free menu which includes many of the regular menu items but in plant-based or GF versions. The interior is fun with street art style tags on walls including a cool Albany one behind the registers. The employees were really courteous and friendly. I ordered online and my food was ready when I walked in. I got the plant-based burger which can be ordered as vegetarian or vegan for the same price. I assume the burger is the same type or Beyond or Impossible plant-based meat patty regardless of which you choose but the sauce and cheese would be either their vegan cheese and vegan holy sauce or the regular cheese and traditional holy sauce. I do question the bun, maybe I should have received a GF bun as I am sure it would also be vegan but I think I got their traditional bun which seemed to be a brioche style bun which typically contains egg. That said, it was a crazy good burger! The spicy vegan chick'n snack wrap, I probably would not reorder. The chick'n pieces were small and dry, maybe over cooked? I am looking forward to going back and trying some other plant-based options including the plant-based chopped cheese, hotdogs, tenders, turkey sandwich, loaded fries, or an ultimate brownie! They have vegan mayo, vegan holy sauce, and vegan peri-peri. I am sure they will have some growing pains as they get themselves established but I imagine Holy Burger will make its mark on the Capitol Region in the coming years. read more

I went through the drive through for a quick bite as I was craving fast food lol. When I saw online that they have plant based options, I was ecstatic. The drive through menu doesn't show the plant based options so I had to confirm and they do offer them. I got a plant based chopped cheese. I waited for about 12-15 minutes in the drive though. There was about one person dining in and I was the only one at the drive through around 6pm on a Monday night. I'm glad that I have the option for plant based fast food. I would say that it was doable. My bun was a little charred but I was starving so whatever. I guess I would come again if I'm craving a greasy bite to eat. Keep in mind that during the 12-15 minutes I was there waiting, I watched them prepare the doordash orders coming in before ever starting mine so I would give another star if I didn't wait as long as I did for a single item. read more

Tried this place because of the 518foodies instagram page. The restaurant was disgustingly dirty. We arrived at 11:30, they had been open for half an hour. The tables were sticky and had advertisement papers all over them. Our napkin dispenser was empty. Some of the chairs had the Taco Bell logo on them. They had rap music blaring the N-word on the speakers, and it did nothing to add to the atmosphere. Food was pretty good. My husband got a double holy burger and I had a regular cheeseburger. I thought mine was a little bland, he said his burger was delicious. But 2 burgers, 2 milkshakes and an order of loaded fries came to 55 dollars. It was too much of a letdown to want to eat here again read more

Holy Burger - CHOPPED CHEESE - Halal Near Me - Albany, New York

I am able to avoid dairy while eating out with friends who like conventional cheese burgers. The sweet potato tots are my favorite. The serving sizes of fries and tots are much larger than I expected. A small was enough for me to have them with 3 meals. I definitely could have split them with a friend read more

For starters, this little gem is right off of central avenue, in the old Taco Bell location. the lady taking my order was very sweet, and we enjoyed a decent conversation while my food was being prepared on the spot. The owner was there also, although I didn't realize until I was leaving. However, he's very welcoming and kind, and absolutely knows what he's doing with this spot! The chopped cheese was AMAZING. The onion rings were delicious. There isn't a single complaint I have. I really like their house sauce as well, too! read more

We got a smash burger with fries and a milkshake and a 2 slider combo meal which came up almost 50$. Was not impressed. The chicken sliders were dry and bland as was the burger. The milkshake was just fine. The only thing that was good were the fries, there's so many other places to get food that tastes good for the same place or less I would not come back here. On top of that the staff was kinda rude in answering our questions, we were the only customer in the place but it definitely seemed like it was a hassle for the cashier to answer the questions we had. read more

Was super excited to try this place out when I heard about it. Haven't eaten anything else all day. 1-2 hours after eating, I became violently ill. I'm still sick 3 days later. Nonstop vomiting, 3 days later I can't even keep 4 saltines down. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. This place needs to be shut down or inspected or something. I'm always reluctant to give restaurants bad ratings but this feels absolutely horrible. read more

I had a gluten free classic burger with seasoned French fries. So yummy. I look forward to going back.

Holy burger is best zabiha halal restaurant in Albany. Every thing is delicious and juicy

Parking lot not plowed two days after a storm / went in cold inside . Looked dirty . Walked out Didn't look clean so why take the chance. read more

Went in around 2:30 on a Tuesday. Two girls frantically working in the back, one guy came from behind the counter to speak with some guys at a table. I waited several minutes, and was ignored. I personally don't care how good your food may be, but I am about service. You don't ignore the person in front of you, and take drive-thru orders. Will likely never try this place...sorry read more

We have visited Holy Burger twice since it opened. The burgers are beyond what is usually served as fast food. The quality of the meat is excellent. It is flavorful, juicy and cooked to order. The fries have a unique blend of seasoning - crisp on the outside and creamy inside. The service is friendly and prompt and the interior is pleasant and very clean. I will be making at least a weekly trip to this gem. read more

Burgers were great and the fries are by far the best! The chicken wrap was a bit disappointing being on the small side. We also tried the spicy chicken strips. The chicken was perfectly cooked and not dry at all. They are not kidding when they say spicy. The service was good and the staff was friendly. We would definitely go again! read more

My partner and I have come here a couple of times and have never left disappointed. Really good fries, solid burger and it isn't even their best sandwich (we would recommend the chopped cheese and the chicken sandwich) read more
