Excellent fast-casual Afghan food! There is plenty of seating inside, great for families and larger groups. The menu is fairly simple, focusing on kebabs. Everything we had was scrumptious, especially the appetizers and the chicken kebab; even the fries were great! I guess it\'s not super traditional Afghan food (there\'s a lot of American/Americanized foods there), but for what it is it\'s pretty good!

I was craving a lamb kabob so I visited Mazadar Mediterranean Kitchen in Colonie, NY. The lamb was perfectly spiced and extremely tender and delicious. The rice had amazing seasoning and the salad was great with delicious white dressing. If I lived here, I would eat here at least once per week.
