Reviews for Kismet Mediterranean Grill in Albany, NY

DELICIOUS soup! You have to try it even if you don't feel like eating (and are there just to tag along with a friend bc you have... nothing else to do on a Sunday morning). The mint seasoning was chef's kiss ????. Strawberry mimosa was light and tasty; greatfor a lightweight like me but may not be boozy enough for everyone else. ???? I wasn't expecting much from the toast but thewhite bread was super tasty and definitely superior to whole wheat. Oh and the waitresses were super sweet. :) I was in Albanyas part of a routine escapade from NYC and couldn't be happier to have settled on Kismet for brunch. <3 Read more

We had the chicken curry and lamb gyro. The food was great, very tasty! The servers were attentive and polite. There was outdoor... seating which was nice on a beautiful spring afternoon. Would recommend! Read more

Food is delicious, but not too many options considering the variety of Turkish cuisine. This is our third time dining here, so... obviously we do come back. However service this time wasn’t the greatest, some things that you would think are obviousweren’t so obedient like not getting sugar for the tea or not getting a spoon or something to stir the sugar; by the time wegot the sugar and then 5 or more minutes later a spoon to stir the tea, it was cold. You can also see the spoon we got to stirthe tea with, doesn’t fit lol but again things that should be obvious, weren’t. Prices are a bit steep for the portions youget, but the taste makes up for it, maybe? We had the Meze Trio, and the portions of that were way too little for the price. Wealso had the chicken gyro pita wrap, shish kebab lamb, and the classic gyro plate. All were good and reasonablypriced. Atmosphere is nice, but it can get super loud. It’s a small place and a lot of people. Regardless, it’s a goodexperience once in a while. Read more

Absolutely delicious food and a great place/atmosphere for a date night. Very reasonably priced for the quality of service and... food. Our server was wonderful and friendly, even going as far as to pour our wine for us at the table, which is an old schooltouch I really appreciated. We started with the Mediterranean loaded fries which is an entree weirdly enough, but we asked if wecould start with that as an appetizer which wasn't an issue. I went with a lamb Kavourma and she went with the chicken Kavourma,both of which tasted and looked amazing. There are a few sharable options and the individual portions are huge and presentedwell. I had expected the bill to be much worse but honestly it seemed really fair and we look forward to going back. Read more

Food is good but it’s a bit over priced. I’ve been there thrice. I was never unhappy with the food. Everything tasted good.... But it is definitely a bit Over priced. You get a tiny piece of baklava for $5.9. It’s ok once in a while since we don’thave a lot of Mediterranean restaurants around. Read more

Great customer service , the food was good but I had better tasting middle eastern food before. Outdoor sitting area had great... vibe . Also that Turkish / Arabic coffee was a misfire - it was insanely bitter . I’m an espresso person so when I say theirTurkish coffee is bitter - it’s bitter. We tried their Chicken Kavourma and it was good. Read more
