Great food, Great People…read more This is our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. The food is very good and the people are also very nice. We love their dolmas, falafel, and baklava. Their salads are also good. We highligh recommend it.

We were given menus and we waited 25 minutes. We didn't even get the opportunity to order drinks, the guy didn't even ask. We didn't have any more time to wait for any service as we were hungry and had plans later that day. If it were to take 30 plus minutes to even order drinks, no idea how long the food would have taken. We had to leave. Disappointed.

Been going for at least 3 years. Absolutely love it. I've gotten most things from the menu.read more

Instagram recently showed us a reel with Kabob House and their Persian and Kurdish food. It sparked…read moreour curiosity and we tried it today. 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. Even though we were two of four people, our food was slow to come out. But the wait was worth it. We ordered the special Kurdish bread covered in butter and filled with green onions. 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.

I recently tried Sahara's Lebanese Grill on Central for takeout and it was fantastic. Everything…read morewas packaged well and still hot when I got home. I ordered the grilled chicken plate with yellow rice, hummus, pita, falafel, and a side salad. The chicken was juicy and paired perfectly with the seasoned rice. The hummus was super smooth and creamy, and the pita was warm and soft. The falafel had a nice crisp outside with a flavorful center. Even the simple salad tasted fresh and balanced out the plate nicely. Overall the portion size was generous and the flavors were spot on. For carryout, the quality held up really well and everything tasted fresh. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving Mediterranean food.

The meat is tender, soft, and incredibly flavorful with no hint of that usual lamb smell. If you've avoided lamb before, Sahara will definitely change your mind. The portion is generously large. You can easily make two meals out of it. This is a must-try for anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Mediterranean food.

Came back to visit today…read more Kind of sorry I did. I had the chicken doner plate. It was ok. The rice was not. The pita was tougher than I remember and difficult to cut, so much so that the knife cut into the parchment paper the entire dinner sits on. Paper now in the food. Greek salad was good. The good here is TOO expensive. We spent $60 on two chicken doner plates and two sodas. Crazy for what you get.

Overall everything was good.

This is a major hidden gem of Santa Fe -- perhaps our best meal after living here for a month. We…read morehad the Mezze for 2 and the Tajine for 2, and both had wonderful flavors and a variety of spices without being hot spicy (though you could add harissa if you wanted to). We're normally big meat eaters but we're very, very happy with the vegetarian dishes here. The Mezze came with falafel, eggplant, salad (outstanding flavor), hummus, and very good hot pita bread. The Tajine was a delectable and we loved the presentation of it in the traditional clay pot. It had slow cooked vegetables (carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, etc) and was partially sweet with dates. But the highlight was the Moroccan mint tea, served traditionally in glasses and poured from high up. I haven't had tea that good in awhile (and yes I go to the Teahouse). Warning -- this is a BYOB restaurant, so bring your bottle of wine with you (and save money). Will definitely return.

After a lovely morning hike we decided on Mediterranean for lunch. This caught my eye as a…read morevegetarian/vegan place to check out. Plenty of parking. A little tough to find the entrance to the restaurant--enter The Body studio main door in the middle of the building, and then the restaurant is nestled to the far back and left of the front desk. Low mood lighting makes it hard to read the menus but you can use your smartphone flashlight. Great service with in-depth explanation of each dish. We ordered the signature traditional tajine, the mezze platter, and a plant-based chicken shawarma plate with potato chips. I enjoyed a dirty chai and a family member enjoyed a Kacha'va superfoods smoothie with chocolate. A delicious vegetarian/vegan Mediterranean feast! I enjoyed the different spices, textures, and flavors in the mezze platter and tajine. Plan to spend $30 plus per person if you get a beverage.

Finding the Ghengis Grill had closed, we headed across the parking lot to Pars. It had been on my…read morewife's wish list so this was a great opportunity to have the whole family try it. 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.

Food is good but VERY VERY expensive. I ordered Lamb Souvalaki plus an extra kebab. I was charged…read more$58 dollars for lunch. Service was great, but doesn't make up for the price gouging. Reason for my complaint. I purchased 1/2 of a whole Lamb this year, butchered, and packaged for $162.00. Total was about 44 pounds of Lamb. PARS should wonder how many customers have just stopped eating in their establishment because of the ridiculous prices. They have competitors and will be going there in the future.

We were passing through Albuquerque, on a road trip and were craving Indian food for dinner. We…read morewere so glad they offered delivery through DoorDash. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The dal tadka tasted freshly prepared, and they perfectly followed my special request to make it mild and without any red or green chilies. The only issue was that we received Chicken Tikka Masala instead of the Paneer Tikka Masala we had ordered. Aside from that mix-up, everything was absolutely delicious and worth every bite. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and will definitely order from them again the next time we're in Albuquerque.

This has got to be the WORST Indian food I've ever ordered…read more The tandoori chicken was dry and had no seasoning. Came with 2 slices of onion and a lemon wedge.

I'd rather eat at red lobster and throw up after eating their " food" ... again, than eat here....
