Chicken Curry with Basmati rice
Eddie L.

Have been coming to Sinbad for quite a few years but been awhile now so decided to have lunch here with my wife. Always been a favorite spot and again did out disappoint. Can't think of anywhere where else with very traditional and authentic middle eaten food! Won't disappoint! Wife had her favorite Chicken Curry and I had the lamb plate. You won't go wrong here!!

Gyro and shawarma chicken plate!  Mmmmmmm

One of my favorite places to eat! Their food is so good. The rice is amazing! Never disappoints.

Combo plate - grilled chicken, gyro meat and minced-meat skewers
Joy A.

I'm always on the hunt for good Mediterranean/Middle eastern food in El Paso, and when someone recommended this place, I decided to check it out. I asked the server what is there most popular entrée, and he recommended the Combo plate. It was a yummy, filling plate of grilled chicken, gyro meat and minced-meat skewers that comes with a choice of rice or salad. Feeling carb loading-ish, I went with the rice, and also enjoyed the yogurt sauce and spicy green sauce that came on the side. This is a big meal - counts as lunch and dinner! The rice was well-cooked and the meat was all tender and flavorful. The place is kind of a whole in the wall, and there were only a couple tables of people that seemed comfortable, like regulars. It may be better as more of a takeout place, but provides some different dining options for the city.

Gyro plate with salad

Don't let the look fool you, this place has good food. I had the gyro plate with salad and it was delicious. The server recommended some peta bread and I wasn't expecting fresh baked peta bread, this was a special touch. I totally recommended.

The Combo Plate
Tanya Y.

Sometime last week a friend and I decided to meet up for lunch. Luckily for me, this was one of my friends that gets a kick out of picking places I've never been (which I thoroughly enjoy since I'm usually the one that has to amaze others with my impeccable taste in local foodie destinations). She immediately chose Sinbad to which I did a quick background check on *cough*Yelp*cough*. Needless to say it passed my prerequisite qualifications (hey, I like to be an informed consumer). As soon as we arrived I realized this is the place in the Cinci district that I always tell myself I'm going to try, but never have because it's always closed when I'm in the area. A simple sign above the door, no outdoor seating, no tale-tell signs of what I'd be walking into so I prepared myself for anything. Okay the inside isn't that great. It's a hole-in-the-wall, what do you expect? It does have a very family feel to it regardless of the service (we'll get to that right after this) that makes you feel right at home. The booths and tables look worn, but I kind of didn't mind. And I will say the booths were quite large, they could easily seat six. You pay at the register on the small counter towards the back left. Really there isn't a whole lot going on inside. I did feel comfortable in general...again, at home, if you will. But I felt like the ugly stepsister and not the good kind of ugly stepsister where your mom runs sh!t because she married a handsomely rich merchant, the bad kind of ugly stepsister where your dad cares more about the new b-word and her stuck up b-word of a daughter than you and they occasionally forget to feed you. We weren't greeted upon arrival, getting a recommendation was a tad hard, our server rarely checked on us, and we had to ask multiple times for the same thing. It's clearly ran by a family (and maybe their close friends), but they need to do a little customer service training. I decided to go with the Combo Plate because that had the most variety so I could get the most out of this experience. The great news is the food is on point! The Combo Plate comes with Gyro meat, Shish Tawouk, and Kafta and a side of salad or rice. I opted for the salad since I knew my friend would be getting the rice and I could steal off her plate. The Gyro meat was thick cuts of lamb, pretty standard and since it came with a side of Tzatziki sauce I'm 98.4% sure that their Gyros are thebombdotcom. The Shish Tawouk which is a curried chicken was surprisingly my favorite. The smaller chunks of chicken dipped in the spicy avocado mix (I don't want to call it guacamole because it's definitely not that) was really good. The Kafta was actually best with the Tzatziki and a bit of the yellow rice I kept stealing. It's a ground meat fried and I found that if you just order the Kafta, it also comes with pan-fried tomatoes on top (so yum). After waiting a good 20 minutes for our check, we were finally leaving and my friend decided to grab some Baklava. It could've been a lot more crisp on top, but I liked the flavors and after looking at a few pictures on their Facebook, I'm definitely going to be trying their Warbat (think Baklava minus the nuts, plus cream cheese).

Get the Beef Shawarma plate. Trust me, it's as good as you can get and I've had it all over the world. The lentil soup pictured is great as well. If you want something light, the salad with house dressing is excellent. This is a great family owned business churning out delicious Mediterranean food all day. Say hi to Nasser.

I've had only good experiences here so it's time to write the review. The food is delicious,…read moregenerously served, fresh. The baba ghanoush is life-changing. The gyros are as big as my iPad. The new employee at the front is not as friendly as the guy who used to work at the previous location but I'm willing to ignore that since the food is still amazing.

I wish I'd found this place out sooner! There's not too many mediterranean places in El Paso, but…read morethis place definitely exceeded expectations. Ambiance - Cute restaurant with appropriate decor. I loved the ceiling because of the different patterns and colors. It definitely made the atmosphere feel more homey. Service - Seems like there was only one server but he was very polite and attentive. Did in a great job especially with the amount of tables and people that were present. Food - Had the traditional combo and gyro wrap w/ chicken orzo soup. The fatayer was a really pleasant surprise and was probably the best thing off the traditional combo. Gyro wrap was fresh and well proportioned. My favorite was the chicken orzo soup! Will definitely be the soup I go for on a sick day. It's a little hidden but definitely worth the find. The food here has a different style than what you normally find in a mediterranean food, but interesting and delicious nonetheless. The traditional combo is a great way to try some of the more interesting items, but the fatayer and chicken orzo soup were standouts for me! Will be back to try other things.

I ordered the Surf & Turf with grilled Florentine steak, sambal shrimp, fried eggs, tomatoes, and asparagus, and every bite delivered. The steak was cooked to perfection, the shrimp were HUGE and packed with flavor, the tomatoes were perfectly prepared, and even the asparagus was surprisingly delicious. I also ordered the Blueberry Mint Refresher, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The ambiance was another highlight. The décor is beautiful, chic, and stylish, and the entire restaurant has such a great vibe. It's the kind of place that feels special from the moment you walk in. The staff was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made an already great meal even better. If you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot in El Paso with delicious food, fantastic service, and a seriously chic atmosphere, La Mezze is absolutely worth checking out. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip!

I went with the chicken kabob skewer. It comes with basamati rice, pita bread, and salad with mint vinaigrette dressing plus a side of taziki. The food was delicious, chicken was marinated perfectly, cooked nicely. The rice had a lot of flavor. The mint salad dressing was amazing, very fresh tasting due to the mint. Service was good, she took my ordered, they cook it while I waited and she brought out to me when it was done. Location was pretty, nicely decorated and it was bright with plenty of seating area.

Our server was amazing. From the moment we walked in until the end of our meal, the service was superb. Our server seated us and immediately brought water, menus, and a complimentary sample of hummus, which I love. I requested butternut squash soup, but they didn't have it that evening, so I ended up ordering the lobster bisque instead. My husband chose the mushroom chimichurri pasta. We also ordered two glasses of Madalena Cabernet Sauvignon to accompany our dishes. We didn't wait long before our meals arrived. My soup was delicious, featuring generous chunks of lobster, and it was served on a toasted slice of bread topped with crispy kale. As I wasn't very hungry, this was just the right portion for me. My husband had nothing but praise for his dish. Since we were celebrating, we also ordered dessert: their chocolate mousse tart. It was divine and paired well with the wine. I am sad to see such a unique place with seasonal menus close its doors, but I was excited to hear from our server that they have been bought out and will be returning in a month or two under a new name and remodeled store front, to bring new culinary delights to El Paso. I can't wait to try the new place once they open!

Our appetizer was absolutely delicious, I am still thinking about the whipped ricotta. Our meals were large, I definitely would say their meals are shareable as they're really large portions.

Wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, and not to mention the wonderful musician they had performing on Sunday.

If you want a taste of excellent Persian food in El Paso, Tasty Kabob is definitely worth a visit…read more The appetizers are a great place to start. Try their Sampler with ghormeh sabzi, Shirazi salad, and hummus; are all prepared fresh and have that unmistakable homemade quality. The Shirazi salad is particularly refreshing, with bright flavors that pair beautifully with the richer grilled dishes, while the hummus is smooth, fresh, and perfect for sharing. The chicken kabob is one of my favorites--tender, juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled just right. The beef kabob is outstanding, flavorful and beautifully cooked, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The accompanying Persian rice and tahdig are equally memorable. The crispy tahdig combined with fragrant rice and barberries provides a wonderful contrast of textures and flavors--the slight tartness of the berries works exceptionally well with the grilled meats. Eshi, the owner snd chef prepares the food à la minute, and you can taste the freshness in each dish. Service was a little slow during our visit because a new chef was being trained, but the quality of the food made the wait worthwhile. The Persian-inspired décor adds a pleasant cultural touch, but the real reason to come here is the food: fresh appetizers, excellent kabobs, and some genuinely delicious Persian rice and tahdig.

Ashi and her entire team are the reason this place stands out in El Paso…read more From the moment you walk in, you can feel that this isn't just a restaurant--it's something she's built with real care and intention. Ashi is the heartbeat of the space. She's present, welcoming, and genuinely invested in every guest's experience in a way that's rare to find. The food speaks for itself. Huge compliments to the chef--this is truly authentic Persian cuisine, not a watered-down version. Every dish I ordered was to die for, from the seasoning to the balance of flavors. You can tell there's pride behind every plate. For the El Paso community, this place is something special. It brings a level of authenticity, warmth, and quality that's hard to come by. If you're lucky enough to visit, don't just go for the food--pay attention to the experience Ashi and her team create. That's what makes it unforgettable.
