Termeh - (Near Schenectady, NY)

5 /5 Rita: 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 dont 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 reservation.

5 /5 Mehran Sabzehi: 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 be back!

5 /5 Anastasiya Keegan: We visited this restaurant for the first time and had a great experience. We ordered the mixed appetizer platter, Ghormeh Sabzi, kebabs, and all the desserts available – everything was fresh and delicious. It’s a cozy, small one-room place with space for a large group and simple Persian-style decor. Clean, welcoming, and definitely worth a visit. We’ll be coming back many times.

5 /5 alireza sheikhsofla: 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.
