Best Turkish Restaurants in Albany

Taksim is a hidden gem in SoMa! The food is packed with flavor—loved the lamb shish and trio dips. The vibe is classy but cozy, and the service was super friendly. Don’t skip the Turkish donuts for dessert. A must-try if you’re into modern Turkish cuisine!

Always a good time and this place never misses. Get Kal and Baymak

Wonderful experience! The service and food are top notch. Incredible advice from the sommelier! Will absolutely be back.

This was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. We started with delicious cocktails and the calamari, which was outstanding, especially with the sauce. Hubby had the sea bass, which was delicious; a whole fish that he enjoyed taking apart and eating, as it reminded him of his childhood, growing up on the coast in South America (only have it if you don't mind the fish looking back at you as you eat it.) I had the pomegranate meatball soulvaki and I feel my life shifted a little after that meal. Wow! We finished with Greek coffee (delicious and potent) and baklava on a bed of yogurt and honey. My gosh What these chefs do with sauces is life altering! Just be sure to make a reservation as we saw so many sad groups of people walk in happy and then have to leave because they were fully booked for the night.

Fantastic food and atmosphere, sitting out on the terrace looking over the bay.
