    12. Beef Tikka & Chicken Kofta
    Raeesa W.

    I've been craving kebabs for a few days now and today, on a rainy and dreary Fall afternoon I decided to order from Aria Kabab and have my meal delivered. Best Decision!! I ordered the Beef Tikka and Chicken Kofta combo. It usually is served with salad and rice but I skipped the salad and just requested extra rice...cuz you know Rice is LIFE. All my cravings were satisfied with this meal and #winning I have enough for dinner. I got all the sauce option available and strongly encourage you do as well. The rice was fluffy and yummy and the meats were perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. So excited to post this and go eat some more.

    Absolutely amazing food with quick service. Highly recommend if you live nearby or are just passing through to stop here. Well priced for the amount of food you get.

    Mixed shawarma platter

    An old friend recommended this place more than a year ago, so I was glad to finally be able to try their food. What stops me from being even more enthusiastic is ultimately the food. While I enjoyed my lamb gyro and also liked the hummus and rice on my companion's mixed shawarma platter, it fell short of taking me back to the best gyro/kebab I ever had in Petersham, Australia, of all places. You could say it's a different style, etc. but I hoped for something outstanding. Despite being a fast casual joint, they do have a good number of tables and chairs, and have a comfy vibe, although I would've liked to see napkins on the table at a minimum. I also appreciate that they bring the food out. They have their own parking spaces right outside. I hope they continue to do well.

    Delicious food, sizable portions, affordable prices ($10 a plate), and nice interior. Went in here for a quick bite and was surprised at the quality and value. Service was quick and efficient. I've attached our meals, they looked amazing and tasted even better!

    I've tried a few halal places around Albany, but the food at Aria Kabab just kicks. Their meat is so tender, flavorful, and delicious. I love getting their rice platters and the lamb shawarma sandwich; it really reminds me of the times when I used to live in Hyderabad, India. Also, a huge fan of their sauces! I also loveeeee the quantity of the portions. Their food is definitely a 10/10. The only reason I've given the rating a 4 is that I find myself taking out more, since the ambiance of the place is just average. But it is THE place that I find myself visiting whenever I crave halal.

    Can't recommend this place enough, It is soo good. Food is phenomenal and so is the service! I love this place and I bring my family here all the time. We sit down and have a great time because the foods always good and so are the people that work here. I highly recommend their chicken or beef tikka. They also provide you with white and red sauce which is really good. If you come in with a lot of people, you can also get their combo which comes with a lot of portions for everyone. Every item also comes with salad on the side.

    First time ordering from Aria Kabob. My niece and nephew highly recommend the place. Excellent Afghani foods. It is a treat from boring fast food and burger places. Ordered takeout for 6 and bill was about $70. including 15% tip. The food is plentiful! No skimping on meat here. The man who took my order was friendly and helpful. He packed up an assortment of sauces for us. The order was ready in less than 15 min while I waited. Ordered; Philly Steak Gyro, a steal at $7.49 Lamb Swawarma Gyros Chicken Gyro Zinger Fries were flavorful. Little spicy but not hot. An order was large enough to share! Mixed Shawarma combo plate which came with rice, hummus, and salad. Outstanding! My grandsons liked the gyros very much. Loved is the word they each used. We all enjoyed our meals. You can "eat in" on tables or in booths or "takeout." You can order ahead online and pick up. Parking outside door was convenient. Wish it was closer to my house, but 10 miles one way is not far enough to keep us away from a return visit.

    For the cost, it is very good food. But for authentic, I wouldn't say authentic they don't make their own bread and the white sauce is more like ranch sauce with mayonnaise. I did enjoy it. The value is definitely there, but I'd rather pay a little more for homemade bread and metal forks while you're dining in. There's no selection of a side of chickpeas or spinach, but it was very good for what you pay for.

    Lamb Shawarma over rice
    Franklin H.

    Love the food here. Good selection of Afghani dishes. Portions are generous. I enjoyed everything I had ordered from here. People are pleasant. You have choice of sauces available in squeeze bottles, the while sauce, green, and red, although they were out of red the last time I was there. Sorry I don't know the names of them. Green sauce has cilantro in it and a bit vinegary. White sauce is tangy and sort of like tzatziki? Red sauce is a hot sauce but not too hot. Modern payment system that takes NFC payments like Google Pay with option to send receipt to your email address if you so choose. Off street parking which can be tight at times.

    Back side of Aria Kabob menu. This still isn't everything... the shawarma sandwiches and some gyros are missing.

    I'm a fan. My lamb gyro was tasty and generous at $5.99... good lamb flavor, not overcooked, a generous amount of veggies and sauce. It's not on the printed menu so you have to order in house. The place was bustling at 1 pm on a Saturday. They have a shawarma spit but only serve one meat at a time.... today it was chicken which is why I went for the gyro rather than a shawarma sandwich (which would have been a dollar more). Hopefully they'll be confident enough of their business that they'll soon become a two-spit place.

    There's a new kabab in town. If you like kababs, give this quaint little shop your attention. The menu has much to offer from kababs to sandwiches to salads and wings too. SO had a meal with a two kababs; one lamb and one kofte. It is served with a small side salad and a scoop of rice. My direction usually goes to a salad; so I ordered the chicken kabab salad. It had a bed of crisp romaine lettuce with what looks like salsa - diced cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Was a lovely presentation. Also not offered in other places is a generous portion of black and green olives and chick peas on top of it all. Accompanying our meal was the traditional green and "white" sauces. (White sauce being similar to a tzatziki.) What I did miss is the spicy red sauce I've gotten at other kabab establishments. The chicken kabab was bite size pieces of tender chicken with a little spice sprinkled on top. A nice lunch with many menu possibilities for so many more lunches or dinners. This kabab house is very good at social distancing. Staff are all donning the required masks. My only complaint is that the parking lot has never offered much. Fortunately, I arrived at a good time and was able to park easily.

    Mixed Shawarma platter

    A good and generous takeout meal. We had the lamb and chicken kofta, mixed shawarma and chicken tikka rice plates. The Shawarma plate came with homemade, very good hummus. All meals came with a nice mixed salad with cucumber, tomatoes, onions and lettuce. My son had whole pieces of lamb whereas I had ground lamb. All were similarly flavored but at least the flavor was good. They came with mildly spiced rice. We chose white "spin" sauce and green cilantro sauce to accompany. Overall a decent value. Fresh and tasty if not a remarkably different meal.

    The food was great! The combination of the sauces with the gyro over rice plate was an unbeatable combo. I would highly recommend this spot!

    The service was great! The food was amazing. I love Mediterranean food and this did not disappoint…read more I ordered a build your own bowl. All the vegetables were fresh. The chicken was freshly cooked and I like that. All the flavors together is just a nice thing to have. I will definitely go back even though it is a little bit out of my way. I don't mind taking a little drive to get some delicious food. The restaurant was very bright, clean and inviting.

    As soon as I read some reviews and looked at Bol's menu, I made it a point to get over there as…read moreconveniently as possible to begin enjoying their food. The restaurant is clean and bright and comfortable. You can order either from the kiosk at the side, or at the counter - and they're really helpful at the counter. I crafted a bowl with grilled chicken. I was expecting the chicken to have a slightly stronger flavor, but all the extra items in the bowl plus the sauces I requested really enhanced the flavor. I'm a big fan of their hummus, and I'm almost addicted to their house white sauce, which has just the right amount of garlic in it. Their cucumber mint iced tea also has a great flavor, though I do find it a bit sweet. Be aware that it might take a few minutes for your order to be ready. Bowls with cooked ingredients will take slightly longer. Plus, they are already doing a huge take-out business, so you can't judge only by the number of customers sitting in the restaurant. This is a wonderful addition to the area, and I look forward to many more meals here.
