Kismet Mediterranean Grill - Albany

DELICIOUS soup! You must try it, even if you're just tagging along with a friend and aren't really hungry on a Sunday morning. The mint seasoning was absolutely perfect. The strawberry mimosa was light and refreshing, which was great for someone like me who prefers milder drinks, although it might not be strong enough for others. I wasn't expecting much from the toast, but the white bread was incredibly tasty and far better than whole wheat. The waitstaff were also incredibly sweet. I was in Albany as part of my usual escape from NYC, and I couldn't be happier to have chosen Kismet for brunch! ❤️

Exceptional food and service! I couldn't be more satisfied. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves for a retirement party, and every meat and vegetable dish was cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding!

I had an amazing experience at this Mediterranean restaurant! The appetizers and dishes were exceptional! I'm enjoying my meal so much that I can't help but write this review in the moment. I'm truly delighted with my food!

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!

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.
