What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We found this place on Google Maps and decided to give it a try while we were in town for a work trip. We arrived pretty early and the restaurant was still empty, so my friends were a bit worried we might be at the wrong spot. I told them this was the place, ordered with a little hesitation… and wow, it turned out to be an amazing surprise. Every dish exceeded our expectations. I ordered the lamb chops and they were absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully plated. I liked them so much that I ordered another portion to go before even finishing my meal. My friends also loved their sandwiches and chicken salad. By the time regular dinner hours rolled around, the place was completely packed. If we’re back here for work again, this will definitely be a place we return to. Bonus: the open kitchen is a plus."
"Very friendly people and EXCELLENT food! Chicken Shwarma Wrap and Lamb Shank were both absolutely delicious. Plates were very pleasing to the eye and filling. Great flavors and service. If I am ever in Albuquerque again, I will be coming back!"
"We had an evening meal here on Thanksgiving day in 2025. It was a great treat. Really, we chose the place because it was open, and it turned out to be very tasty well prepared Arabic food. I had a combo plate that included salad, hummus, rice, lamb, kofta, and kebab. It came with Arabic flatbread. Some of the lamb was a little tough, but overall the flavors were great. My partner had the shawarma combo which he enjoyed. Inside it is a simple cafe, nothing fancy. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality and amount of food. The menu is large. You can get dinner plates or mezes to share. They also have desserts like baklava. The staff was friendly and competent."
"My first time here and the service was out of this world as was the food. I had a Mediterranean burger and I’m glad I did. The other plate I got was the fresh bread and hummus. They were literally making the hummus as I was ordering. I don’t usually eat this kind of food, but this was a treat and I’m glad I stopped in and will be back. Don’t hesitate if you’ve ever wanted to try it come in and let them treat you like you’re at home."
"We tried this restaurant today and had mixed feelings. The shawarma plate was just okay, and the fries were a letdown — not very crispy or flavorful. On the brighter side, the lamb shank was quite good and definitely the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere was decent but nothing special. Overall, an average experience."
"So good!! I had chicken shawarma with hummus - it was amazing. I came in to order take out just after 6pm on a Monday, it was fairly busy. I waited about 20..."
