Exquisite food, service and ambience! This was our first time at a Persian restaurant but will not be the last. The Mirza Ghasemi appetizer was delicious. It tasted like it took hours to prepare, the smokiness from grilled eggplant was divine. Since we don't eat lamb we ordered the only 3 chicken entrees on the menu and all were delicious. The meat was the juiciest I have ever tasted, it cut like butter and fell off the bone. There are no vegetarian entrees but plenty of vegetarian appetizers to choose from. Based on other reviews, we ordered the pistachio cake and that was excellent as well, though I liked the carrot cake loaded with walnuts better. Highly recommend. A note of caution though, they have limited seating so if you are going there on a weekend, better to have a reser

While passing through Albany on a day trip, my wife and I decided to stop at Termeh Persian Restaurant. We’ve eaten at many Persian restaurants over the years, including plenty in cities like Toronto, so our expectations were high. We were both genuinely impressed — the food was incredibly authentic and the quality was outstanding. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Everything we ordered tasted fresh, and even the Pistachio Milk Cake is made in-house. The Koobideh Kabob was excellent, and the Fillet Kabob was just as good. If you’re trying to decide, the Sultani Kabob gives you both — highly recommended. We ended our meal with that amazing cake and a great authentic and perfectly brewed Persian tea. We’ll definitely

Termeh – A Hidden Gem in Schenectady, NY (near Albany) A cozy, family-owned Persian restaurant serving freshly made dishes with authentic flavor and top-notch quality. We loved the kabobs and the lamb shank – both cooked perfectly and full of flavor. But the real star of the night was the pistachio cake – hands down the best cake I’ve had in the U.S. The unique taste, rich pistachio flavor, and amazing quality made it unforgettable. The staff were incredibly kind, and the whole experience was absolutely worth the extra drive. If you’re anywhere near Upstate New York, this place is a must-visit. Totally recommend! 🌿🍢🍰

Delicious foods and a wonderful atmosphere! This place truly has the warm feel of a traditional Persian restaurant. We especially loved the kebabs and ghorme sabzi both were rich in flavor. Don’t leave without trying the pistachio cake, it’s absolutely worth it.
