Afghan Kabab Express’s story started in the city where Halal carts are popular but a spark of an idea to extend the company upstate came to mind where we could demonstrate our taste of spices and sauces to everyone. Soon to be Afghan Kabab Express was made in Upper New York where chicken gyro and kabab lit up Albany ‘s city! Our kitchen is your kitchen!

It’s not often I find an Afghan restaurant, so when I saw this on our trip to Albany I wanted to try it.

Went to this little gem! AMAZING! While we waited for our food we had some baklava. The moistest baklava I have ever had! We ordered chicken over rice lamb shank over rice and a gyro. Everything was amazing! The best I have had in a very long time! You can honestly tell when someone really cares about the product they serve! I will definitely be going back!

The chicken over rice is all you need. recommend asking for extra white and green sauce. Can’t wait to be by here again to try their other options

Their chicken kababs are best in town. I love their falafal and chicken over rice too. very authentic food and very cheap too. If u go for dinner, be aware where u park ur car. The neighborhood is not so safe. Our car was broken once fo steal the handbag on rear seat.

I can’t believe I waited this long to review one of my favorite restaurants in Albany! This “hole in the wall” Afghan food is splendid. It’s a discreet little series of shops and Middle Eastern restaurants right on Central Ave. The food is absolutely delicious, mostly consisting of kabobs of different meats. My personal favorite is the simple chicken over rice dish which is only $7 at the time of this writing. Regardless of your order, be sure to try their red, green and white sauce all have a unique flavor and are a luxury to the taste buds. They only have canned soda, so I’d recommend trying some Afghan Doogh drink or tea. It’s a quiet, small casual environment. Enjoy!

Food is good but they are not professional if you ask for sauce they charge extra that’s very odd every restaurant gives extra sauce how much you want

I’ve never had Afghan food before but I will say I was so glad to have tried. The Chicken kabob and Baklava are delicious. In fact so much so that we ordered out 2 days later.

The best Middle Eastern food anywhere. Lamb was so tender and delicious. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Staff very friendly, kind and attentive. We will definitely frequent this wonderful establishment.
