You must visit this place. It may not look too good but their food is amazing amazing amazing loved it. 10/10 the nihari was great 👍 👌 👏. Their tandoori chicken is also really tasty. Will definitely be back for more things to try.

★★★★★ 5.0 Taryn Hallweaver · Dec 2025

Supremely delicious. Everything I’ve ever ordered is excellent, but gotta say my favorite is lamb palak (spinach). The rice is heavenly, always perfectly cooked and a teensy bit flavored with saffron or something. Food comes fast. They mostly do takeout but there are six or so small tables if you wanna eat in.

Super friendly with great service! It is a takeout style place, so you can expect that kind of atmosphere. The samosas are great! We also liked the chicken Tikka masala. The veg quorma was not as flavorful, but still good and the veggies had a great texture. We also tried the chicken kabob roll, which was delicious but only if you really like a lot of heat!!!!

Was driving through Albany to the Adirondacks, and a delicious nihari was a pleasant unplanned surprise. Authentic Pakistani taste, and this is coming from a Lahori and a foodie. We tried the Chicken Tandoori (Like Pakistani Chicken Tikkka) and Kebab Roll as well, and they were quite good too. Babar sb is doing a great job running the place and Iftikhar bhai is a great support in the kitchen!

The BEST restaurant I ever came across in Albany area. Nihari Point has the best Pakistani Food. If you are ever feeling homesick or miss the taste of back home pakistani food you must go to Nihari Point and have their food. Samosa and chaat are awesome. I ordered biryani, naan, kebab, Beef Nihari and Lahori Channa everything that I ordered is excellent. My kids loved the samosas and channa and naan. We took the food to hotel and enjoyed it. Front desk guy is very polite and nice. And introduced himself as the owner to me named Babar I believe. I highly recommend this place and ask owner for daily specials.
