Ali Baba - Troy (NY)

5 /5 Mary Steinacker-Grimm: This was a great restaurant to try new foods that I have never knew existed. It’s perfect for after you have dental surgery as most of the foods are super soft and already ground up for easy consumption. I did not try the pizza and the bread was a little difficult to chew with my temporary partial, but all the other items were delicious.

5 /5 Jmora267: Ive driven passed this place so many times and said I need to check it out. A lil over a month ago, I was at a gathering w friends in S. Troy....they ordered a handful of dishes from here that we shared. OMG!!! Im so upset it took so long to finally try their food....EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS and portions were plentiful! I so recommend this place to everyone. I finally went back on Halloween for lunch. I got their small sampler; ate maybe ⅓ of it there; shared the rest w my Wifey the next day at home. They thru in an extra pita to enjoy w my leftovers. My ONLY complaint....I dont know if they has recently mopped (good thing) or a mop bucket was nearby but it smelled like one was nearby when I ate there, ie. Soapy bleach water. Wont stop me from going back....thats for sure!

5 /5 Leone Harris: This is a small restaurant off of the main drag. It appears that its mostly locals who dine here. (Which is a good sign!) We found this place while looking for a place to eat near our hotel. I will stay by saying I loved this place due to its authenticity. Two men working their tales off filling orders in a kitchen that was completely viewable from the sitting area. We were surrounded by families and locals and everybody was nice to us. I ordered the Mediteranian Pizza and it was very very good! You can tell all ingredients were fresh. I would certainly order food from this place again if I was in the area.

5 /5 Orkhan Gahramanov: I had an amazing experience at Ali Baba Turkish Restaurant in Albany! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the warm bread and appetizers to the main dishes, everything tasted authentic and made with care. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is very friendly, attentive, and made us feel at home. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and service. If you’re looking for a place with true Turkish flavors and a great dining experience, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

5 /5 N R: Found this gem in Troy, NY, and had an amazing dinner experience. Plenty of seating was available, the staff were nice, and the service was great. We ordered the Iskander Kebab, which came with rice and onions—absolutely one of the best dishes I’ve tried in a long time. The Adana Kebab was also tender and full of flavor. I wasn’t expecting such authentic Turkish food in a place like this, but it turned out to be one of the best meals I’ve had in upstate New York. They also serve freshly baked bread with a yogurt dip as a complimentary starter—the bread tasted so fresh, and the dill in the yogurt dip paired perfectly. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be back!
