The food here is nothing short of delicious—each dish is a testament to the passion and dedication of the owners, who truly pour their heart and soul into every bite. You can feel the love they put into their cooking, which translates into flavors that are simply unforgettable. Let’s talk about the falafel, a dish that’s often overlooked, but here it reaches new heights! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these falafels are bursting with flavor and make for the perfect appetizer or snack.

Mr. Mamoun is the best and everything I’ve ever tried here has been so good. I’m vegan and find it very easy to tell which dishes I can eat on the website - and there are enough that I still haven’t tried them all despite eating here pretty often. The pita chips are crunchy, the hummus is creamy and flavorful, and everything else is better than you can probably imagine. Take out only which works for me. This is the #1 restaurant I recommend in the Albany area.

Authentic Middle Eastern food. Had Pita Chicken Kabob sandwich. Fresh and tasty

I really loved this place, it was so tasty! Had to get an additional chicken skewers for my chicken combination the second time I ordered since the white meat chicken was so so tender. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous but they were only doing takeout when I visited.

Was passing by in Albany and stopped for a bite and I’m glad it was Mamoun’s. The chicken falafel was amazing! Never tried that combo before.

Food was excellent as always. Over the past 20 years Whenever I am visiting Albany I make it a point to stop there for dinner. Although the restaurant has changed hands-on number of time the quality of the food has not diminished. The owner of the restaurant was kind enough to take 25% off of our bill because we were having dinner 45 minutes before the sale price was slated to begin. Woul highly recommend

Delicious and very well-made dishes. Had falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and kafka pita. My daughter had chicken kabob pita. Very fresh and very tasty! Mango iced tea was very refreshing. Baklava was amazing! Will definitely come back next time we're in Albany!

I checked out Mamoun’s because I read it had a charming interior. It does, but it’s now take-out only so you can’t enjoy it. I ordered the chicken falafel platter, which was nothing special. The “platter” doesn’t mean rice or vegetables, but just a spoonful of hummus and a few pieces of pita, and was certainly not worth anything like the $15 I paid for it. I don’t usually write negative reviews, but this place is overpriced and without any charm. There are many better options nearby.
