Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Troy, NY

Tia Felock Had a nice night out after the holidays. Side salad, garlic bread, mild wings, a large pepperoni pizza and a personal three cheese pizza. Everything was timed perfect. The food was hot and fresh. We did not feel rushed, the temperature inside was very warm considering it’s so cold outside, and the server Sara was extremely attentive. Looking forward to adding this to our regular pizza lineup!

Karen Sabrina Great restaurant! They have it all: great food, good tables, good atmosphere, good decor, nice views, great service! We had a brisket and bacon sandwich, BBQ chicken, fries, fries with gravy (excellent gravy), mac & cheese, and corn bread. Good portion sizes, too. Loved it. We walked from the Best Western hotel across the street. (photo note: the chicken breast is on a side plate bc it came out of the smoker after the other pieces on the plate. The meal came with 2 legs, 2 thighs, and 1 breast, plus 2 sides.)

Jacky Lam Tara Kitchen is one of the best restaurants in Troy! The Moroccan food is bursting with flavor—every dish feels authentic, fresh, and made with care. The tagines are a highlight, cooked to perfection with rich spices. On top of that, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is always warm and attentive. A must-visit spot if you’re looking for something unique and delicious!

Taryn Hallweaver Fantastically good arepas and cachapas and plantains and soup! Spacious upstairs with view of the Hudson. Super friendly staff and relaxed vibe. Really reasonably priced, good-sized portions, and four delicious sauces that come with every dish! Also- Oh Corn! catered a dinner for a work retreat I had a few weeks ago and it was a huge hit! And met all the dietary restrictions of everyone on my team no problem. Highly recommend for drop-in meal or for catering!

Scott Hall The BEST Italian fare you will get literally anywhere. Old school, la famiglia! I literally cannot recommend it any more strongly. If you are in the area, it is a MUST visit!

Vanessa Rivera Such a cool spot! The setting is very unique, it feels tucked away and historic. You walk in through an alley and then climb a stone staircase. Its very rustic feeling. The outdoor space is perfect for chatting over drinks. We were there near sunset and the ambiance was so nice. Really good beer, wine and cocktail selections. We also tried a couple of the appetizers. Everything was yummy and the food came out quickly! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again, I think it may be one of my new favorites.

gyague sonam Right from the start, I believe this place is run by a passionate group of people. It’s welcoming, and the service is incredible. The Subway sandwich was massive and, most importantly, flavorful. I highly recommend this place to anyone and would definitely add it to my list of go-tos.

Parker Fields Roommate and I went in on small business Saturday for a lunch and were not disappointed. Nice workshop themed decor and good service. We asked for the chefs suggestion and ended up with a great burger and the juiciest dirty chicken sandwich this side of the river (ask for extra sauce). Seasonal coffees were delicious and well priced. Will go again

jeanne sheffer The parking lot behind the restaurant is really convenient. My companion and I enjoyed the appetizer platter. We each ordered a rice bowl. Yummy food and fresh! The cost was reasonable for the amount of food you receive. I will be a return customer.

Steven Conrad I ordered the spicy pork bowl to go. The pork was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The lettuce and rice accompanied the pork very well. Ill definitely return!

Ryan Marie Naimo Stacey and Dave have turned this historic building in downtown Troy into one of our favorite spots with great drink specials and delicious food. Their recognition of teachers, nurses, and first responders is appreciated by this educator!! Check out The Hubb the next time you’re in Troy. You won’t be disappointed!

J EM I attended a small intimate wedding here and it was the most wonderful experience! The staff were absolutely amazing!! Everyone had a fantastic evening! I want to say thank you all for everything! I would definitely recommend!

Not Your Business Been coming here for years, almost as long as they’ve been open. The staff is friendly and are always excited to see us, they remember us which is always nice. Food is great, prices are perfectly fair and I can’t recommend this place enough. Literally best chicken souvlaki around in my opinion. It’s important to support our local restaurants and shops, keeps money in the community and supports someone local who had the dream and drive enough to start their own business.

마리아 Tried almost all the halal desi food places in Albany . This is my favorite by far ! With an emphasis on comfort food, this truly was comfort food !!! Trying this place for 1st time from left to right got the chicken tikka broccoli quesadilla , behari quesadilla , behari wrap , behari kebab over rice loaded chicken tikka masala fries and chicken tikka kebab over rice . Had chosen mild for all because we werent certain on spice levels trying this place for 1st time. As we do have some dietary restrictions for my parents especially on salt content! For us it was perfect had the right kick for our fam who cant eat the normal spicy desi food lol due to dietary restrictions. I will try with another heat level next time for myself as I tried the behari kebab wrap it was tasty the chicken was nice and juicy and wrap had a balance of chicken and veggies I added the tamarind sause and chutney and it was perfect!! Also tried the loaded fries they were sooo good great to share for 4-5 ppl !!!! Had no complaints from the parents i see that as a win! The naans were soft and not burnt or overtly thick perfect size for the wraps and quesadillas! Overall great exp will come back !

Zeeshan Nelson Emry’s Garden in Troy delivered. The NY strip and sweet potato black bean burger were both solid, the Midnight Manhattan cocktail was smooth, and the birthday shot was a cool surprise. Service was on point. We are definitely going back.
