Honestly the best food I’ve had in the Albany area. Everything is fresh, well balanced in flavor and the portions are great. 100% a place to take a date. I strongly recommend the Mediterranean platter and the Chicken Toscana. The owner/head chef is such a lovely man taking care of customers and ensuring top tier quality.

A hidden gem. Our server Tina, was excellent. The owner is so nice. The food is amazing we had the salmon with the Jasmine rice and grilled asparagus which goes perfectly with the meal. My hubby had the lamb kabobs he said it was so delicious both meals were cooked to perfection.the cucumber dressing for our salad very fresh I could drink it. The portions are great. The Spumoni desert was yummy. Give this place a try you won’t be disappointed. We will be back !!!

This is a special place. We found it by happenstance on a trip from Cleveland to New Hampshire in 2008. And we have been returning whenever there is an opportunity even if it means more driving. It is that good. Nabil opened Garlic Lover’s Corner in 2007. It is in a small strip mall on North Greenbush Road. Our most recent visit was the first time back in a few years. Little has changed. The place is clean, comfortable, the decor pleasant and not ostentatious. The menu features meat, fish and vegetarian dishes but we come for the lamb. Simply put, the lamb kabobs are the best I have had and I have been eating them for over half a century starting with Momma Khalil’s in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. In the beginning, GLC was a BYOB but now has a full bar. I’d recommend the Merlot, “Sideways” not withstanding, with the lamb. Appetizers include a tasting sampler but we enjoyed the tzatziki and pita bread; the former was smooth and creamy with just the right combination of cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon and mint. Don’t fill up on it. The lamb kabob comes with a house salad with homemade dressing; I enjoyed the cucumber dressing that reminded me of a good Green Goddess. The kabob lamb is a most generous portion; Nabil uses a special cut of lamb that is tender and tasty. It was perfectly cooked to medium rare. It was accompanied by jasmine rice and a fresh vegetable medley of zucchini, red peppers, and broccoli. Too much food, we had lunch for the next day. All this and remarkably reasonably priced especially after the “surprises” we’ve had recently living in Center City Philly. If you like Mediterranean and Lebanese, don’t miss this place. None of us are getting younger so don’t wait. And when you go, tell Nabil Jay and Joanne from Philly nee Ohio sent you.

Garlic Lovers catered our July 4th event for the third year in a row. The Ribeye steaks and mashed potatoes were fabulous and perfectly seasoned! Guests were wowed by the quality and portions. The hummus is so creamy I can’t find anything like it . Thank you so much.

I thought it would be just garlic heavy as , I love garlic. It is an old school home cooked Mediterranean restaurant. The atmosphere is very fine dining in a small strip mall. Food is amazing,,, highly recommend 5* , a hidden gem

My wife and I went here for lunch this week. The food was soooooo great! We got the hummus with pita for appetizer. The pita was warm, cooked perfect and spiced well. And the hummus was so good. I could’ve just eaten it all day. Then I got the gyro pita and my wife got the Bedouin Chicken. They both were fabulous, cooked perfect and well balanced. And the fries are great too. The older man was the hostess and server. He was charming and funny. We will definitely be coming back and recommend it to everyone.

Second time there and once again did not disappoint. The creamy Dijon chicken was out of this world. The owner always makes sure to check in on how your meal is. Will be returning to try more!
