Thank god for once yelps good review actually mean it! I had the one of the best Mediterranean food in Elko, Nevada. Who would have thunk!!? Every little thing on the plate were all so flavorful, and the beef was juicy . Friend ordered chicken and rice plate, and that chicken came out perfectly tender. What's the last time you had food that weren't over cooked? I'm usually not a big fan of hummus, I just eat them if they are in my plate. But this, I ate a bunch. It's a creamy perfect blend. Also I have not been to any restaurant with menu this clean. (No random stickiness whatsoever) Water glasses are also like brand new, no scratches and just CLEAN. I'm not OCD but I've been finding it hard to walk into any restaurant without needing to ask for a new set of clean plates, silverware, or glasses... (there's always something left on my plate that weren't cleaned off... call me unlucky I guess ) If you like Mediterranean food. Give this a go. You won't disappoint. read more

Traveling and a refreshing stop. Food was very good...fresh hummus and homemade pita bread. Next time I need to try the desserts. Service was excellent. Friendly and helpful. read more

We discovered Odeh's while craving Med food while traveling. We are happy we found it! We sample several dishes and all of them were good. Based on that single visit and it's location, I highly Odeh's. I'll update my review after a few more visits. read more

This is a nice little spot with good quality food. I enjoyed the cabbage salad with lamb and would order it again for sure. The service was good, but there were not many patrons in while I was there. read more

Amazing place. Jewel in the desert. Awesome Arabic coffee. Was so refreshing after a long day of driving in the heat. We ordered lamp plate, kofta plate, falafel and babagaboush. All were an amazing treat. The Babagaboush was a little more tangy then usual but very satisfying. I wish this restaurant moved to Bay Area. We need something this authentic there. I hope to return to this place someday! Forgot to add we also added fresh pita and pistachio baklava to our menu later. Again... the best I have had. read more

Delicious food and quick service. We ordered the vegetarian sampler and chicken shawarma sandwich. Very clean establishment.

Great food!!! Little hard to understand how to eat since it served on a wood plank. Meat was great but had to conserve on each bit since it seemed like there was more rice than anything else. All the flavors were amazing, just portion seemed light. read more

To answer the question "Mediterranean in Elko? " Yes! I was more than a little skeptical about this place. Especially when driving up. But to paraphrase Han Solo, it doesn't look like much but it's got it where it counts! The servers are attentive and the food was really good. We had the Hummus appetizer and it was flavorful and quite nice. We also had the Mediterranean salad with chicken. Very good. Not overpowering with spice but well seasoned. It was delicious and filling. So much so we didn't even get dessert. I highly recommend this place if you're craving good Mediterranean flavors without a pretentious atmosphere. Five stars! read more

Great food, portion size is okay for the price. It is pricey but I rather pay for this than fast food

Best restaurant in elko. amazing Palestinian food, thank you for making my trip that much better

Passing thru from Colo to Cali and researched local places and this one got the highest reviews... That being said, the hummus was amazing!! The falafel Sandwich was good. But, fries arrived very soggy. Please sort out the fries!! read more

Driving from San Francisco to Park City and looking for that quality food for our midway point, waited to stop here in Elko. Fresh delicious Mediterranean food in a spacious clean restaurant in town. My husband could not decide and i suggested the Kofta plate based on another Yelpers "money!!!" Shot. Looked like a Mediterranean Loco Moco and he's a meat and potatoes guy. He loved it & kept picking my fries. He had a side of Falafel which was so delicious by itself he was saying it's like dessert. Hummus was so good too but wish I got fries for the kids. The side of hot sauce and fries and ketchup is SO good. Very delicious and not greasy. Lovely owners, food and worth the detour from the highway. Kinda wish I got a dessert to go- probably very delicious! The drive to here let us check out this interesting downtown. read more

Saw this place on top of yelp. I'd give 4.5. Had the red cabbage salad, kuba, and lamb kabob plate w/ tabbouleh and hummus. I keep forgetting im not a fan of the red cabbage in mediterranean restaurants but i keep getting it because theyre veggies. Kuba was really good - served really hot as i had to chew w/ my mouth open. Proper ratio of filling and the outer crust. Wish it was served w/ some sauce because it felt a little dry overall. Kabobs were on the tangy side that i wasnt expecting band was great. Rice felt a little over cooked and is not as fluffy as could be (-0.5 stars). Hummus and tabbouleh were on point to my tasting. Waitress said that owners are Palestenians (if this matters because of regional differences for "mediterranean" food). read more

I was slightly skeptical with all the 5 star reviews, but with only one night in Elko, I thought to give them a try and they delivered. I ordered the meat pie plate with baba ganoush and red cabbage salad (extra $1.50) and it was definitely a dish I've never had before. I was expecting the meat to be inside the pie, but it was baked on the outside so the bread was fluffy. The red cabbage salad along with the baba ganoush were fresh and added a variety of texture to each bite. My husband ordered the kofta plate which came with rice, hummus, and tabbouleh. Again, with the freshness and wonderful textures. The kofta was wonderfully spiced and juicy. We both cleaned our plates. Owners are super sweet and seem truly delighted to share their delicious creations with all. A must try. read more

We enjoyed splitting the vegetarian combination with chicken cubes, and two pieces of pita bread. I have my favorites and both really enjoyed the hummus. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Outstanding. The food, the atmosphere, the service... it's clean, inviting and just all around perfect. What a perfect little gem hidden away in lovely Elko. I am so happy I stumbled upon this place. read more

Grading on an Elko curve, we've heard that this is the best restaurant in town, and we wouldn't argue. For a group, it was cost-effective to order a bunch of appetizers and share. We shared the falafel, fries, rice, tabouleh, and hummus. Fries were outstanding and falafel and rice were very good. The hummus was the only thing we were disappointed by because it was a bit bland. It was pretty busy for a Friday night and had limited servers, so would not go here if you're in a rush. read more

Good food, good service, don't think twice, we will be back again for sure! The restaurant was simple and clean. read more

Consistently excellent! Best mediterranean salad with lamb, always fresh, hot and timely service. Relaxing and comfortable dining room experience. read more

On my gosh! You must stop here and have lunch or dinner. We had dinner here because of the great YELP reviews and it did not disappoint. My husband ordered the Ribeye steak (which we shared) and I ordered the Mediterranean Salad. The steak melted in our mouths and was cooked to perfection. The sides that came with it were also very good. So good that we ordered a side of hummus to go! My Mediterranean Salad was light and very flavorful. We will definitely always stop here when traveling through Elko, NV. read more

Wow I sampled a few different items and had a Mediterranean margarita. Everything was delicious and very fresh. I've never had lamb but the waitress recommended it so I figured I would try it- wow it was awesome! Like well seasoned steak. saw another review about the mint being soggy.... Pretty sure that's because they muddle the mint so the flavor can get into the drink.... Thanks yelp for helping me find this gem. read more

Odeh's Mediterranean Restaurant - Lamb something, kabob I think. Yum! - Mediterranean Near Me - Elko, Nevada

The best part of road trips (for me), is trying local restaurants. In Elko, NV, I doubt you'll find anything better than Odeh's (unless you don't like Mediterranean flavors). Choose from beef, lamb, or chicken for your protein, and regardless of the preparation, it will satisfy your palate! I tried Kuba, Meat Pie, and the Red Canbage appetizers. All are tasty - cabbage has some finely chopped mint complimented by an in house lemon vinaigrette dressing, the meat pie is flavorful, too. The real star is that Kuba! Barring allergies, TRY THE KUBA! It's like a savory, meat -stuffed fritter, but so much better. After three weeks traveling, I chose to have the Mediterranean Salad with Chicken. The house dressing is yummy; I opted to get a side of Tzatziki as my dressing because I like creamy dressing versus vinaigrette. Hubby had Shish Tawook. The barbecue style grilling of the chicken enhanced the flavors beautifully, and the sides complemented the chicken so well! We saw an order of the lamb chops at another table... will definitely order those next time! So, portion sizes are generous. While you could stuff yourself, why not take home leftovers and enjoy the fresh, flavorful food another day? We will be stopping here the next time we're in Elko, and maybe we'll make the trip (4 hours), for the heck of it, as I've not had authentic flavors like this in the greater Reno area, ever! read more

This was actually our 2nd visit. We had every intention of trying a new place this trip, but the place that was recommended had an hour wait & we were too tired for that. No wait at this place, either time we visited - & this was a Saturday night. I'm surprised, because on both visits we experienced excellent food & service. I highly recommend the Lamb Kebob. 6 generous cubes of grilled meat come on a board with hummus, tabouleh & rice. We also tried a Kuba (what I've usually seen called Kibbeh) as an appetizer. It was fried to perfection & came with a very cucumber-laden & tasty tzatziki. Babaganoush was also excellent; though a tad salty it was also very smoky, which I love, & this was also a very generous serving. Of course for dessert we had Baklava, which was perfect. They also have turkish delight. It's not my favorite thing, so we didn't order it, but it looked beautiful. It's definitely a highlight on your trip through Elko! read more

What a find! If you are looking for a flavorful and healthy dinner, Odeh's is a great option. We were just passing through Elko and decided to have dinner here. Everything we ordered (dolmas, spinach triangles, tabbouleh, tzatziki, grilled chicken with saffron rice) was delicious. It was hard to decide what to eat since the menu is filled with so many tasty choices. The full bar was a nice addition! If we lived anywhere near here we would be regulars! read more

If I could give more than. 5 stars, I would! Every dish was absolutely delicious, authentic Mediterranean at its best . We had the Kuba for an appetizer. The dressing on the red cabbage salad had a light dressing with a hint of mint. The lamb kabob meat as the best lamb we had ever tasted. The shush tawook had outstanding spices on it. The humus was creamy, tabooleah perfect. The owner was very personable and has an obvious passion for preparing and serving excellent Mediterranean cuisine. We will make this restaurant our place to eat when we are in Elko. read more

We stayed a night in this Nevada town on the way from California to Idaho. Since we really didn't want just a burger...we found this Mediterranean restaurant with lots of good reviews. We ordered the Vegetarian Combo Plate, fries, and pistachio baklava. Food was great and would certainly come back again if we were in town. However, I recommend you call and order ahead if taking out. It does take some time. One hiccup, when we went back to our hotel, we noticed there was no falafel in our order...we had to drive back to the shop but they made some fresh falafel for us, though...again, took more time. I think it was an especially busy night for them. Saw their indoor dining was open, and those folks probably had to wait longer than us :) There is parking right out front. read more

I come here every time I'm in Elko for work. The owners are nice and the restaurant is spotless. The chicken Greek Salad is delicious. Made fresh with all the goodies you'd expect on a Greek salad. The salad come loaded with chicken, fresh lettuce, topped with tomato, cucumber, minced parsley and pita chips! The Kofta Plate has angus beef, topped on a bed of steamed rice, served with fresh tabboulah and hummus. Don't forget to add the pistachio baklava. It is also made with the freshest ingredients.

This place has the friendliest service ever. It's not often that you go somewhere and are made to feel like family. They take the time to get to know their customers and have conversations with them. Always such a joy to have dinner here. The food is outstanding. You can taste the love that is put into each and every meal. We have eaten there several times and each time you get the same quality and care. I highly recommend the falafel, it's just perfect! The Baklava is outstanding, I could eat a piece every day! The bread, made from scratch....yummy!! Oh the fish sandwich..now I don't like fish at all, but thus sandwich is amazing. They make the tarter sauce from scratch (like everything else) but it's not like American tarter sauce. It's even better!!! Try the fish sandwich!! Oh and mint tea served with real mint leaves. My absolute favorite thing to drink! I could go through the whole menu and nothing is bad, try ut you will love it too! read more

Odeh's Mediterranean Restaurant - Walnut Baklava - Mediterranean Near Me - Elko, Nevada

This was a surprise. Such an amazingly tasty place, in Elko! I honestly would drive back here just to eat here! The staff were very friendly, and all of the food was delicious and seemed very authentic (I've never been, but the decor and tv matched the atmosphere). We ordered the vegetarian combo plate, and it came with so much food! Enough for a second meal. The highlight was the crunchy falafel, and the aromatic rice. We ended up ordering nan bread to go with it so since there were so many sauces. We also had a side of the tzatziki sauce, and it was dIfferent than what I normally see - it had shreddded cucumber in it, which gave it a delightful texture. read more

Wow! This place was truly incredible. The interior was in the midst of a remodel, so that was nothing special. But the staff were friendly and the Mediterranean food was clearly authentic and absolutely amazing! The fresh pita was homemade and fantastic. The falafel was not dry like most are. And the lamb skewers were really more like mini lamb steaks rather than skewered pieces. This place would be considered fantastic in any major city, so it was a delight and a true find to enjoy while we were driving through Elko! read more

We were on the road back home to California and got tired of hamburgers and pizzas that are in a abundance in the states visit so far. I was happy to finally see a place that served multiple vegetarian items with fresh salads great on their own even if they didn't have a slab of meat next to them. Don't take me wrong, I love my meat and so does my daughter, but then my husband is vegetarian, and even I got sick of the meat heavy diet The place itself doesn't look like much from the outside, and I started to wonder if the grade reviews were due to the lack of good food in the area. However, the inside was charming and inviting. Our dog loved the cold, clean floor, and we enjoyed the decor and the Arabic music Playing in the background. The food was great. I got no pictures because we were very hungry and ate it rather quickly. My husband ordered spin pies and chose Satsuki and as two sides. I got the lamb chops dish for my daughter, which was large enough for her and me to eat. It came With saffron rice, fries, hummus and tabouli salad. I everything was fresh and tasted great. I love also ordered the pita, which was a great decision because it was pillowy, soft and warm. They bake their own pitas every morning, our server said. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. The food was enough for the three of us, and the server offered a bowl of water flower dog. If we are ever here again, we will definitely go back. read more
