Mr Halal delivers an impressive balance of flavor, quality, and atmosphere. On my recent visit, I tried their Zinger and Smash Burger — both were standout items. The Zinger impressed with its light, crispy coating that stayed crunchy with every bite, while the Smash Burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfyingly succulent. Together, they showcased the kitchen’s attention to both texture and taste.
On a previous visit, I enjoyed their Chicken Over Rice, which was hearty, well-portioned, and layered with flavor — a fulfilling option that leaves you satisfied without being heavy.
The restaurant itself is a comfortable spot in a convenient location, making it a great choice for a casual hangout or a late-night craving. What sets Mr Halal apart is not just its commitment to halal dining but also its ability to deliver food that competes on taste alone.
For anyone seeking delicious, halal-friendly comfort food in Cohoes, Mr Halal is well worth the visit.

I recently tried their Smash Burger, and it’s honestly the best burger I’ve had in the USA! The meat was juicy, the cheese perfectly melted, and the bun soft and fresh — just the right combination of flavors and textures.
The restaurant has a great family-friendly atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends or loved ones. The food prices are very reasonable, and the service was friendly and welcoming.
If you’re looking for delicious food, a clean and cozy setting, and great value — Mr. Halal Cohoes is the place to go! Highly recommended!

I recently visited Mr. Halal in Cohoes, and I was impressed by the delicious Middle Eastern style cuisine! The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I ordered the chicken zinger burger and mixed ( lamb & chicken) over rice, which was flavorful and generously portioned. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. Highly recommend for a quick and satisfying meal.

This is an excellent spot for burgers, wings, and fries, though their crowning jewel are their rice platters. Their halal cuisine is quite flavourful with a good variety to choose from. The portions are quite generous as well.
While I tend to frequent during late evening hours, the location, staff, and menu can be easily enjoyed during the daytime.

It was a wonderful mouthwatering experience for our whole family at Mr Halal! The kids enjoyed the single beef patty burgers with crispy french fries while the adults took bites into the huge double beef patty burgers! Truly heavenly bites melting in the mouth The Turkish khabsa rice platter with beef, chicken and vegetable options with the thick mango lassi was unique and flavorful! A 100% party in your mouth! A sure must go again! We are definitely coming back again ….. and again!

Great food, clean restaurant, and super friendly owner and staff. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Loved the burgers (the bun was so soft!) and the kababs over rice were excellent. 10/10 — definitely my go-to spot!

We did the hard work so you don’t have to. We visited THREE restaurants in the region in the same day, and ordered the chicken/lamb over rice combo at each. While Mr. Halal got second place, most of us agreed that the balance of comforting flavors, location, and price made it the place we were most likely to order from next. We also agree that it had the best bite — while there was another restaurant that did better in the meat department, we agree that the overall rice plate experience was best here. Super delicious.
The stand-out strengths for Mr. Halal were the red and green sauces. Both of them were complex, fresh tasting, and interesting. If I could purchase the sauces on their own, I probably would, just to put on *literally* everything I can think of. The meats were very similar to other halal places (and we wondered whether the lamb was, in fact, identical to another restaurant we went to), but the seasoning seemed slightly better on the chicken than elsewhere. Probably the best feature of the Mr. Halal rice plate is that the proportions are well-balanced, and the dish works extremely well as a whole.

Ordered on a whim one night and was not disappointed. The burger was one of the best I’ve had from takeout in awhile. We’ve ordered several menu items in the past weeks and everything has been amazing.

Great food for the price and nice and clean. The chicken over rice and zinger burgers are good proportions.
