    Plate 1
    Christopher C.

    This was my first sit down meal in New Mexico. Coming from LA, I had pretty high expectations which this spot absolutely delivered on. The simplicity of the presentation was beautiful. And the ambiance so calming yet vibrant in color and highly accessible - with high dining tables affording wall outlet access and various normal 4-6 top tables. The employees were very kind, most notably one employee who as she was walking out the door on her break smiled at me the most genuine of smiles before giving me questioning thumbs up. I am thoroughly impressed and would certainly come back. Great job guys!

    Everything about this place is average from the food to the service to the atmosphere. I think the quantity and variety that you get is lacking for the amount you pay. The bowls themselves are pretty bland as they only contain one base, one protein, and one topping. Even any other style restaurant would let you have multiple toppings for the same price you pay here. I will say that I really do enjoy their 505 Fries. These are delicious and the chicken Shawarma is a great addition on top. Atmosphere is OK where everything is clean, but overall it seems a little busy and crowded in terms of the seating arrangement. Service is fine. Nothing exceptional, nothing bad.

    We came here after the gym after many times of passing by and saying we wanted to try it. The place was clean and spacious and right away the staff was friendly and let us know that if we had any questions to let them know. We went with Plate 2 which comes with two meats and two sides. We chose the Gyro meet which was delicious and flavorful and the chicken shawarma. The plate had great portions of the meat and came with rice that was cooked to perfection. We also got two sides. I loved the Shirazi salad and the Mast o Khiar a minty cucumber yogurt that went perfectly with the pita bread and gyro meat. In addition to this we got the flavorful 505 loaded fries which are a must get! The fries meat and cheese with the seasoning are the best! We loved the baklava cheesecake paired our Ruby Crush drink! It was a great meal and the amount of food on the plate with for the price is amazing!

    Chello Grill is officially my new go-to for fresh, healthy eats that don't sacrifice flavor. Everything on the menu feels clean and satisfying, but the hummus? Total game changer. Creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned I could've eaten it by the spoonful. I love that they offer healthy options that actually taste amazing nothing bland or boring here. Whether you're trying to eat lighter or just love Mediterranean inspired flavors, this spot is a win. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

    The service was great and the employees were super friendly. When they found out it was our first time, they made sure to give us some samples to try along with what we ordered. The food was cooked fresh to order. I was excited to see if gluten free pita option, but disappointed to see it was basically a gluten-free tortilla. It wasn't bad, just didn't really hit the pita spot, but enjoyed the food overall.

    I've driven by this spot a few times. Stopped in finally, and shouldn't have waited to go!! I ordered the Traditional Gyro and a small Ghormeh Sabzi (I got the last of what they had, sorry everyone else!!) My goodness both were awesome!!! The gyro was huge, so come hungry!! Staff was amazing, so nice and chipper. Atmosphere is good, music up loud makes people talk louder, but the smell is incredible, so who cares about noise. Great spot will be back, especially for the Ghormeh Sabzi!!

    Another beautiful morning in central New Mexico and an opportunity to re-visit where the boys (and one girl) from the VA Creative Writing Group gathered for lunch one fine Thursday morning. The Chello Grill, featuring tasty Mediterranean food, a friendly staff, and a clean interesting interior, was our choice one day and we really enjoyed the experience. Just click on the following YouTube link to see why you too will never regret. https://youtu.be/lrCtvqYU26U?si=L9BXVxdYXHTDYPmK

    This was my first time every trying Mediterranean food and OMG I was blown away. Walking in the atmosphere is very calming. And when I went up to order I asked for recommendations and what some of the food was (I didn't understand all the food on the menu) and The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and explained the dish I was interested in. I got the Gyro bowl with rice and some chopped veggies. I enjoyed every bite! 10/10 will be coming back very soon.

    As a Persian from Dallas, I wanted to try out Persian food in a different state. I loved my food at Chello Grill! Sorry for no food pics, the food was too good for me to stop and take pics. Maybe next time lol. The ladies that helped serve and make our food were so nice and accommodating. I ordered the chicken kebab for myself and my daughter. I was a bit sad I was a couple days short of getting the koobideh but the chicken kebabs were great. I also ordered two sides; yogurt with cucumbers and tomato/cucumber salad. Both were tasty as well! Food took a bit to arrive however it's made fresh to order so I definitely did not mind the wait. If you find yourself waiting make sure you get a cup of their lime/lemon infused water. Very refreshing! Great food, great spot, and very sweet workers!

    Traditional gyro, half Greek salad, side of fries

    Came here with my mom for lunch on a Wednesday for the half price gyros. The restaurant was really clean and not too crowded. The service was excellent and quick. We each got a regular gyro, and split a side of fries and a half Greek salad. This cost about $21 before tip. We also got a free piece of baklava for joining their text club. The gyros were BIG. We honestly could have split one between us, as we each ended up taking part of our gyro home. They came with tomato, cucumber, onion, and tzatziki sauce. My mom thought the meat was a little less flavorful than another gyro shop in town. I liked mine, but thought the tzatziki sauce was just a little heavy on the dill, but that's just personal preference. The fries were really crispy and the salad was a nice fresh addition to the meal. The baklava was delicious! Would 100% recommend. Overall, we would come back again.

We arrived a few minutes after noon on a Saturday and were promptly seated. Our waitress took drink orders and returned to answer our questions and take our orders. We had a lamb gyro, lamb kebab and my daughter ordered a plate with a sweet rice, falafel, hummus and a Mediterranean salad. Everyone was more than pleased with the flavors of their dish. We shared tastes around. I found the rice interesting, but prefer more savory when accompaniment to an entree. The marinated lamb for the kebab was outstanding and the meat cooked perfectly. I even tried the hummus which to my surprise was very good. I do not as a rule enjoy chick peas, but this mix was delightful. The restaurant itself carried the desired theme, even offering traditional low seating for those who wish that feeling. Solid five stars. I'd give extra to the wait staff for how they dealt with the chronic complainer at the next table, if Yelp would allow that extra. If you're looking for outstanding Mediterranean cuisine, give Pars a try.

The place has ample room for multiple people and the decor seemed nice. The music was quite delightful. Our server was one of the most polite servers we have ever had.

The hubby ordered the chicken breast kabob with south of the border chicken. I got the boneless lamb kabob. With our orders came a surprise Kurdish soup with lentils, fideos, and Kurdish spices. First, the bread and soups were simple yet familiar, powerful, and delicious. The lamb was tender, well seasoned, and delightful. Now, the south of the border chicken breast was an amazing surprise; it was juicy, tender, a bit spicy, and absolutely perfect. The rice was another great example of simplicity and beauty. Overall, this was a new great spot for good food and service. The dishes look simple, but don't be deceived, as you will find a ton of great flavors.

This location, was in a grocery store (several of which we reviewed before) and initially we were the only customers. The owner was the only one working in the store so there were boxes of groceries that were in the middle of being stocked, plus he also cooked for us and others that had ordered takeout, so that more than made up for the slower service time and lack of offer for water (that someone else had previously mentioned) in a small, but beautiful dining room with a TV that was set to an arab channel (currently a work in progress, but again, considering he's the only employee in the store, we give him a LOT of credit!) This was our first time eating anything Afghan, so I was really excited. I ordered a flatbread appetizer and my husband ordered a chicken kebab, plus we had this yogurt drink with mint, similar to kefir (which my husband felt was sour then enjoyed it as I explained how to drink it (If you focus on the flavor of the mint and contrast it to the yogurt, you'll see how well it works together!). Plus, the tart of the yogurt dissipated the longer it sat on the table. The food was equally delicious. The chutney that came with my appetizer was moderately spicy (which I prefer ) and the yogurt drink served as a complementary offset. Unfortunately we didn't stay for dessert this time because we needed to run to the store before it closed, but were grateful to have enjoyed the meal we ordered!
