    "The Lobo" Super Gyro with Fries
    Daniel D.

    You know it's been a long minute since I've walked in this place. It brought back so much nostalgia from my college days. I remember hitting this place up at least once a week for the lobo super gyro. The staff always welcoming. The place was like a living time capsule. Nothing was different from what I'd remembered other than a flat screen in the dining area which I absolutely loved. Well spoiler alert you already know what I went in for. That's right, the lobo gyro! I made it a combo with the fries and a refreshing Pepsi. It's not often I drink soda but I figured it was a special occasion. The meal was out fairly quickly. I was so eager to get my food I found myself almost grabbing the wrong order when I heard the staff call out a number. I really should've read the receipt! Lol The gyro was just as I'd remembered. I had that Harold and Kumar moment when they finally got White Castle. This was my White Castle. I savored every bite. The meat so juicy, and seasoned well combined with the sauce and onions, it was heavenly. The fries of course were the perfect encore to a delicious dinner. It goes without saying I'll definitely be back. My only complaint is the parking situation. They got rid of the lot behind the restaurant unfortunately. Now it belongs to an apartment complex. Sadly that area has joined the downtown trend of paid parking. Free parking is quickly becoming a mythical thing of the past.

    Lamb Sandwich
    Bryan V.

    Stopped by since we were in the area running errands. My girlfriend was craving the potatoes they serve here. We ordered hummus, potatoes, chicken salad, and a lamb sandwich. Everything tasted good with no complaints. It was right about noon on a Saturday when we came in and it wasn't too busy. Order up front and pickup your order. The place has a Greece theme in the interior and the place was clean. We parked on the side of the street, which was clear, but the area can get crowded quick since it's right by the university. The area can be a little sketchy due to the amount of homeless people around.

    Pastitsio that was delivered

    Pastitsio was unrecognizable an inedible. The soup was a lemon no chicken flavor. So bad I thru it away and ate a PBJ sandwich.

    Grecian Chicken
    Staci J.

    We saw this restaurant on a tour we took in Albuquerque. It's located across from UNM (University of New Mexico). We ordered the grecian chicken dinner w potatoes and the lamb gyro. After sitting at our table for a few minutes we were informed that they were out of lamb. We got the recommended substitute. The food was okay. The salad and potato was extra vinegary. The greek chicken was tender but lacked taste overall. Would I come back while visiting, probably not. The price point was acceptable.

    The first order I got from the great Greek was really awesome. The presentation of the food was…read morebeautiful and professional. What was even better was the taste of both the Gyro and the feta fries. As you can see from the photo the Gyro was stuffed full of meat and other goodies while the feta fries were plentiful and all covered with sauce and seasonings. Absolutely delicious. I can't comment on the ambience because I got delivery, as usual. But the delivery went smoothly, and as stated above, the presentation of the food was stellar. I also had a second order from them about six weeks later that I ordered with several friends. Again, the food's presentation was appealing, and the food was great. My friends also indicated that their salad and Mediterranean sampler were delicious. I will definitely be ordering from them again, and I don't think you'll be disappointed if you do the same.

I started with Spanakopita and Avgolemono soup. The Spanakopita had the perfect flaky pastry and was a delight to eat. The Avgolemono was fire. Just a hint of lemon with a generous portion of chicken with rice and finished with a sprinkle of dill. Highly recommend! For my dinner, I chose the Souvlaki plate with lamb, steak and added a chicken skewer and a side of lemon potatoes. Perfectly cooked and seasoned meats, generous portions, a tasty and satisfying meal. The lemon potatoes were awesome. Crispy exterior and soft center delicious. I had to order the Baklava to go (you have to eat the house made Baklava at a Greek restaurant) because I was so full after the generous portions....but it looks amazing. All the food is fresh and made on site. A fabulous experience for lunch!!!!!

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.

My favorite were the little neck clams, lamb lollipop, and Greek plate. The Saganaki, crab stack, and tiropita were just okay. Lamb Shank: This was one of the best entrees ordered. The meat was fall apart tender and flavorful. The orzo was a little watery but was cooked to the correct doneness. Branzino: I assumed that this would be a whole branzino fish but they had already taken it apart which was nice. However, there were a couple of bones that were missed. Crab Mac: This was cheesy and very good. My only grip is that the pasta was a little overcooked. Service: 5 The servers were patient with all the questions and orders from a big group. They did not make any mistakes and food came out at good intervals. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant would be perfect for a date night. It wasn't too noisy and offered a little privacy between tables.

I wished it was the actual artichoke, missing those being from California. I got the whole branzino with the lemon caper butter and broccolini and it was very good. Flavorful, cooked well and good portions of both. My guy got the lamb shank with tzatziki and lobster mac n cheese. Both were great. He was disappointed that the lobster wasn't mixed in the potatoes, but I thought it was better that way so it wasn't over cooked. For dessert we ordered the vanilla cake with orange marmalade. The cake was warm and had a bruleed crust under whipped creme. Was very nice end to the meal. The ambiance was nice, fancier than what I was expecting. The waitress was great and the guy filling up my water was killing it! The room we were in just to the left of the entrance had some weird acoustics, made it hard to hear my guy sitting right next to me.
