About Umana Yana

Umana Yana is a restaurant in Albany, New York. It is listed at 240 Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12210, which places it among the local businesses of Albany that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as bar, brunch restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 5–9:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (518) 915-1699. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, umanayanarestaurant.com.

Traffic in Albany peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

So chill and clam staff is so accommodating and attentive. My food was hot and fresh you can still see the steaming coming out. Goat meat was nice and the spice flavor was nice too. Those who might not like spice it’s the perfect blend but you can always talk to the as well.

It was a hidden gem in downtown Albany. The food is great, we ordered the Ethiopian platter and the Ox tail, both tasted really good.

I recently treated my mentee here for dinner and we had a lovely time. We both ordered the oxtail meal and it was sinfully delicious! I cannot wait to have it again. We also loved the tropical juice with the sugared rim. It was so good, we didn't order alcohol. The servers were friendly, and the restaurant (including the bathroom!) was nice and warm. And beautiful artwork adorns the walls. We will definitely return!

I LOVE food, but it isn’t often that I have a strong emotional response to food. I had this here. Every single thing I tasted had a bold, daring, and perfectly blended flavor composition. The cassava bites with with tamarind ginger slaw and mango chutney were a delightful way to start the evenings culinary adventure. I was craving the Ethiopian injera but also desperately wanted the curried goat. They were wonderful and offered to combine them for me! My wife and I ate till we were ready to burst, and I still had delicious leftovers! Fresh ingredients, fall off the bone tender meat, and beautiful flavor combinations. Do yourself a favor and come here.

This restaurant is absolutely spectacular. When you walk in, it’s so cozy and both the decor and everyone working is incredibly welcoming. There is a great drinks menu and on the reverse side, a really interesting wine list. Then comes the hard part, choosing what to eat! We wanted to try everything but I guess we’ll just have to return in the future. The pepper shrimp had great flavor (and a lot of heat) which the cassava puffs tempered. And they had a curried goat special which was unbelievable. The goat was so tender and the flavors were perfectly melded together. We ended with the rum cake to go and it made a perfect treat later on in the night. This was a fantastic meal and we can’t wait to come back to try more!
