    We had a wonderful time during our first visit to Oasis Mediterranean Restaurant. Both the food and service were great. Before coming here, I had only been to Gallup a handful of times. I was looking for somewhere to eat and came across this place. The restaurant itself has a nice casual setting to it and is easy to find. The love Mediterranean food and was excited to check this place out. As with most Mediterranean places, I like to start off with some hummus. They give you a generous amount. I also enjoyed my Chicken Shish Kabab as an entree. We were excited to see that they have Turkish Coffee on the menu. I was just in Turkey not long ago and enjoyed having a cup of it here. They have a mini store and I purchased a bag of coffee to take home with me. Oasis is a great place to stop for some good-tasting grub if you are in Gallup. They do have some weird rule about not eating your takeout order while inside the store. I took a couple bites of my sandwich out of the takeout box before leaving and some lady made me transfer it to a basket. Then she told me I should have ordered my food for dine-in instead of takeout. The regular employees have always been very welcoming and nice. But the owner lady is a little uptight about the rules.

    Traveling thru and saw the reviews for this place . Very surprised to see a Mediterranean Resturaunt . We were glad we checked it out . Greeted with a friendly smile. Service was attentive and prompt. Hummus was delicious . Creamy and flavorful. Salad was fresh and ingredients bright and tasty. Coming from west coast where it's way more common to see Mediterranean food, this place was just as good if not better! Definitely stop by and check them out !

    This review is after my second visit with a few months in between visits. No wait to order. The meat is flavorful, the hummus is solid. The service was good. They have music playing but it's not too loud.

    My co-worker ate here for dinner as we are passing through for work. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! They did an excellent job of taking care of us and getting the food out quickly. The food is outstanding!! I got the shawarma beef with rice, salad, and pita bread. I also ordered the falafel. It all had wonderful flavors!! The atmosphere is very casual. I'll definitely eat here again if I'm in town!

    This is a must stop place for me in route to Grants, NM from Phoenix, AZ. This restaurant has an excellent selection of Mediterranean dishes. I've tried the lamb kabobs and Kafka and a couple of other dishes and have never been disappointed. The flavors and cooking the lamb kabob to perfection are unmatched. The salad is perfectly seasoned and fresh. The place is always very clean and inviting. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

    Staff was incredibly receptive and food was incredible. Appetizers: definitely try the homemade hummus. Plenty of pita bread to accompany. Lentil soup: amazing Falafel: delicious! Really enjoyed our meal. Keep in mind that we ordered several appetizers and one entree and the entree per tradition, is served later and not along with any appetizers that MAY be ordered as entrees.

    Hummus

    Comfy space that is welcoming and pleasant. The table service wad very good and the sandwiches, salad and hummus were all very good an of a generous size.

    Baklawa Turkish Coffee

    Lovely people who provide delicious Mediterranean dishes with gracious service. Lamb kebab, dolmas, falafel, hummus, baklava, and Arabic coffee made for wonderful dining experience - in Gallup of all places!

    Turkish coffee

    What a gem in the desert! Delicious, homemade food. The baba ganoush was very tasty and came decorated with a Zia sign! The chicken shawarma and salad were fine to good. The baklava with cinnamon was Heaven. The Turkish coffee was fantastic, spiced and flavorful, with a lovely presentation in a hammered copper pot. Clean, tidy restaurant. Great, efficient, friendly service. Stopped here on an 8-hour road trip. It's right off the highway and so much better than fast food. But even table service was pretty quick and we were able to get on our way as needed without much wait at all. I honestly look forward to driving through Gallup in the future just to stop in here again.

    Hummus appetizer.

    We didn't I know of this place sooner. Fresh homemade food. The hummus was so creamy and delicious not too mention the freshly made falafels and delectable pastries. It's a family owned sit down lunch and dinner place. Very neat and clean restaurant. We were greeted with smiles and the service was excellent. The owner of the restaurant was our server. Her and her husband have been running the restaurant for over 8 years. We will definitely be back.

    After work meal Hummosand Lentil Soup
    Jessica M.

    Oasis was such a nice diverse menu and loved the falafels , hummus , lentil soup flavor was best ever . So had to go back our last night in Gallup beef shawarma sandwich was so tasty the pita bread was fresh and so so good . The owner is so kind and has the best recipes . Very good and quick service .

    Start by saying the food was good and questions about allergens did get answered. The baba ghanoush wasn't the best I've had (I've been spoiled by some of the best around though, so my judgement on that may not be fair) but the presentation was a lovely zia. On the downside I'm allergic to gluten, soy no pita for me answered they did charge $3 for tomato and cucumber to use for dipping. (So I got the pita anyway and gave to the others in my group instead.) Others ordered pita burger and beef shawarma in a pita. They ate it all and looked pleased. Particular praise was given for the fries, which I thought was amusing. We had a bit of a misunderstanding with an apparently new employee regarding my entree where they'd gotten confused with my allergen question vs cook needing to answer and then my order not being put in. But in the end they made it super fast for me, apologized and let me know the staff member was new, apologized again when they gave me the food. I ate on the road toward home. The rice and beef shawarma were very very good. PS Nothing in restaurant uses soy except some of the imported Turkish stuff and some desserts. But all the rest uses oilve oil. Most things are gluten free and all are if you leave off the pita and avoid the desserts. Restaurant and restrooms were very clean. There were notes about asking if anything needed to be accommodated disability-wise and there were actively patrons inside aside from our group using assistive devices and one in a wheelchair with dedicated table for the chair. :) Also booths were plus size friendly.

    Gallup is a Route 66 icon that has seen far better days. It's also a somewhat grim destination if you're looking for healthy food options. Fortunately, Oasis Mediterranean is truly an oasis. I'm not exaggerating: I couldn't find another place that has a healthy food menu. Located in the shadow of a decaying mall and down the street from a long row of fast food icons, this place is clean and bright. I bought several items to takeout, including their vegetarian platter. The food was fresh and delicious. Oasis has been in business for about five years and has been at this location for a year. I hope they remain in business so I immediately know where to go when I'm passing through town in the future.
