    Yasmine's has become a favorite. The customer service is always very friendly. The portions are perfect, the richness in flavor, the softest pitas. I haven't had a dish here I haven't loved. Plus, I ordered some of their food for catering and wow. You really get a great deal. I feel like this establishment always has a welcoming vibe and you can tell they treat their customers like family. I highly recommend you try this lovely establishment.

    Shawarma Combo

    I enjoy visiting this place when I'm in Albuquerque. My friends and I make this our first stop. The location is convenient to the convention center and always bustling. One of the most memorable items I've had are the chicken wings. I didn't get them this time because they were unavailable, but everything else is great as well. I got the combo plate and the chicken wrap. Even ordering through door dash it was very fresh and still hot. I would definitely recommend to those in the area.

    Came across this on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Tried the gyro plate comes with rice, gyro meat and a salad. I added a side of hummus, extra tzatziki and garlic sauce as well as a slice of cheesecake. Everything was delicious, one plate can be easily shared by two. Ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in town!

    Love supporting Palestinian owned restaurants. Service was quick and everything was delicious. We got a pita wrap and the veggie platter #2 and loved them both. Can't wait to go back!

    We were greeted quickly when we approached the counter to place our order. The people are very kind and courteous. It is quiet in here. Few other diners but lots and lots of take out went out the door. I quite enjoyed it. They have a tv but it wasn't on. I ordered the vegetarian plate #1. Great choice everything was fresh and delicious. My only complaint was that the pita was a bit stale. My husband got the lamb shawarma wrap and said it was tasty and well cooked.

    We decided to try Yasmine's Cafe for our Y date night. We ordered the dolmas to start along with the stuffed eggplant. My husband got the lamb shawarma wrap and I got the #2 vegetarian plate. We ended the dinner with the baklava. We really enjoyed all the meal except the stuffed eggplant. It was ok.

    Falafel Salad Bowl that dressing is so so good.

    Beautiful (and delicious) food. Beautiful atmosphere in the restaurant. Accessible, affordable, and friendly and caring service.

    I love going out with friends on a Friday night and finding a quiet yummy place to nosh. When we went in, we grabbed a nice table and went to the order window to order our food. The apps were and smelled divine! The got falafel and dolmas for appetizers, and the dolmas were gone before I took a pic! What can I say, I'm human and they screamed " Eat Me!" The lamb Shawarma was tasty and spiced perfectly. The Gyro plate was perfect and yummy. Finally, Mexiterranean burger, I loved that it was in a pita and it was tasty and filling! We went in when it was quiet, and started to get faster, they were still polite and awesome. They also have lovely patio to sit at if you want to enjoy a gentle summers night of ABQ people watching! Go have a excellent nosh at Yasmine's!

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.

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!!!!!

Our reservation was on time and people were quite attentive, assuring us it would be (we got there early). The ambiance was relaxed and quiet, but it got noisier as the night crowd joined. Service was attentive and also slow at times. I am unsure if the slow service was as we were enjoying our company or if this is the norm. As friendly as the service was, there were some significant mistakes. One order was not put with the others, delaying the dish even more. Having a party of six, I would expect the server to ask how to split the check before giving it. That delayed things even more at the end. To correct this mistake, he offered a drink on the house. And the last one, they charged me for drinks we didn't drink. We found this after we left. In terms of drinks, they were fantastic and long-named! My bartender's choice was absolutely in point. Even though the dishes came late, we were excited when they arrived. Visually, they were pretty. I can only describe our dishes and not that of our friends, as we didn't try them. For appetizers, we got the crudo. This was quite refreshing and bright ahi tuna with lots of citrus helped by pieces of creamy avocado. The hubs got the steak frites. Visually appealing, but the flavors did not match my eyes. The meat was cooked perfectly but was missing flavor and seasoning. The fries were also bland. I got the seared duck breast. This dish was visually stunning. However, it also did not meet the expectations set by the visuals. The vegetables and balsamic sauce were the heroes, while the duck breast was small and a third was just fat. Considering the prices of this place, we expected the visuals to match the flavors, but they were unfortunately not the same.

The menu is fun and creative, with unique options that make it exciting to try something new. The atmosphere feels classy and elevated without being stuffy -- perfect for a special occasion or a night out with friends.

It's definitely on the middle to higher end in terms of price, but you're paying for the full experience -- the ambiance, the quality, and the flavors.
