Nihari Point — Restaurant in Town of Colonie

If you are a true foodie then your experience is not complete without visiting Lahore, Pakistan and indulging in one of it's signature dishes- Nihari. And when it comes to finding the best in town, there is only one place that stands out for it's rich, soul satisfying take on this iconic Punjabi dish: Nihari Point in Latham.

Nihari Point offers an experience that takes you right to the essence of authentic Punjabi flavors, which is quite hard to find in NY. Their Nihari is nothing short of perfection. The meat is tender and falls apart effortlessly, having been simmered for hours, infused in spices and ghee. The aroma is intoxicating itself and depth of flavor is astounding.

I moved from Lahore over a decade ago and The bowl of Nihari always sets the stage for best memories of home. I am salivating just thinking about it and my mouth is feeling the velvety texture of the gravy that coats the meat.

If you are still reading this, by now you understand that I am a Nihari lover and would highly encourage you to try pipping hot Nihari with soft naan that you can tear apart and dip into Nihari or you opt out for just the stew with a squeeze of lemon. I swear Nihari is the best way to warm your soul and body in Albany's cold weather. It is the kind of food that makes you understand why food is such an integral part of any city's vibrant culture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the magic of Lahori Punjabi food in it's purest form...

To start with, the server was slow to take our order and even slower to bring out the drinks. When the food finally arrived, it was presented poorly – the plating was messy, and the portions were meager. I ordered a chicken dish, which was supposed to be marinated and grilled to perfection, but it came out dry and overcooked. The vegetables were under-seasoned and under-cooked as well. It was a disappointing and unappetizing dish for the price. Moreover, the quality of the ingredients was questionable, and it was evident in the bland flavors and lack of freshness. We also ordered a burger, which arrived cold, as if it had been left out for some time. The worst part of the experience was the service. The servers seemed disinterested in our table, rarely checking on us, or refilling our drinks. It was frustrating to see them chatting away while we were sitting in an empty restaurant. Overall, the experience was subpar, and I do not recommend this restaurant. The service was poor, the ambiance lacked charm, and the food was lackluster. I left the restaurant feeling disappointed and wishing I had spent my money elsewhere. If you are looking for a satisfying dining experience,...

In New York you have so much variety of food and real authentic test in Handi or kebab King or many other restaurants in Jackson Heights and New York downtown.

I tried every restaurant in capital area and I could not find the real taste of authentic genuine Lahori flour of the food

Finally, I was fortunate to find this Nihari Point.

I was delighted to order the food from them and the owner and his other helper and the chef prepare real food with Pa Real Lahore test mostly I enjoy their Nihari, Halim, chicken, grilled chicken, just unbelievable flavor.

I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of the food, the flour of the food, the generous portion of the food and very reasonable cost for each order
