Chez Mansour - Albany

I was pleasantly surprised to find an interesting venue for dinner. The menu had a number of appealing items, and the dinner I ordered was very good. The restaurant is transitioning to a wine bar, featuring live music several nights a week. There was no music the night I dined there, but the calm ambiance still pervaded. It was a very nice experience overall.

Exceptionally ease. Curbside parking is ease. Getting a seat is easy. Ordering is easy even tho I’m still learning a lot about this delicious ethnic experience. The live music Friday nights — easy and very enjoyable. The delicious food was not over seasoned or too salty so it disappeared quickly and easily. The patrons are locals and friendly.

Beet salad was very good and much larger than expected. Meza sampler plate was very good. My beef and lamb shawarma was excellent.

We had an amazing lunch last Saturday at Chez Mansour. The kebabs were the most tender we have ever tasted, and the service was impeccable. We highly recommend this restaurant!

We went on a quiet Friday for lunch. The owner is personable and makes an espresso with cardamom, which smooth and flavorful. The best espresso I’ve ever had. The lamb was tender, the hummus mouthwatering. Highly recommend.
