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. read more

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. read more

The restaurant is small but clean. The decor is basic Mediterranean. My SO and I used to go to Yasmine's for lunch every week or two, but we hadn't been more than once or twice since our offices moved several years ago. After the GON powwow (Last Dance ), we took our adult kids, and my SO's brother and plus-one to Yasmine's. It was just how we remembered it. You order food at the counter and take a seat. We ordered a variety of dishes: falafel, chicken shawarma, Greek salad, hummus and pita, and gyros entree. It was all delicious and cooked/made properly. They were moderately busy, but food only took about 20 minutes. The entree and combo portions were pretty big, so wait until you're hungry or order a smaller plate (or plan on taking a to-go box). BTW: From westbound Central, you can't turn left into or next to Yasmine's. We forgot that and had to go to Spruce and flip a U-turn. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Ordered a few things for delivery. Gyro with fries: I thought the meat was pretty flavorful, but it really needed something fresh like onions or lettuce or tomatoes. Also not enough tzatziki so it was dry. The fries were underseasoned. Needed salt. Vegetarian platter 2: the babaganoush was really good with the pita. Not enough pita for all the dips though. The hummus was smooth. The spanakopita was good but pretty small portion. I really disliked the falafel. It was really dense and the flavor was not great. Maybe bland? Greek salad: Really refreshing and a good side. Comes with pickles on it which is different. I ended up using them in the Gyro which was pretty good. Also, the gyro was supposed to come with a drink, but they default to giving you Diet Coke. read more

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. read more

There are few places in the area to get Greek food, but Yasmine's Cafe is a great option. The menu features some excellent choices; for me, the gyro sandwich is a must-try, and the one here is particularly good. The staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. read more

In previous reviews, I've given this location a five star amazing wonderful food however we ordered via Uber a few days ago and I have to say the quality of the food has gone down considerably. I'm very sad because Yasmin's has been our go to for Mediterranean, guess we'll be looking for a new favorite. So sad! A word about Uber they delivered perfectly driver was great super polite. I was just the food. read more

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! read more

First I would like to say I'm one of the biggest backs, which means I eat lots of food and various types of food. In my road trip I stopped by this place and didn't hesitate to try it. I just had a good feeling! I've had some good Mediterranean food but this one for its price is unbeatable so far. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and a side of their pita wraps and omg... the wraps are so good I don't even want dessert afterwards. A yelp review for me is pretty much how high my ratings go for food, therefore give it a try! read more

We visit often and love the shawarma. Fast service and easy ordering. Convenient to Lovelace Hospital.

So good!! I had chicken shawarma with hummus - it was amazing. I came in to order take out just after 6pm on a Monday, it was fairly busy. I waited about 20 min for the food but it was worth it. Would order again! read more

Yasmine's Cafe is genuinely a special place! The customer service here is beyond phenomenal! When I walked in, I was greeted by a very vibrant woman who was very accommodating. She let me know that I could sit anywhere I wanted after my order was placed. I placed an order for a Chicken Shawarma wrap. As I waited for my order, I could hear regulars coming in and interacting! They were all treated so well, and this showed me the power of customer service in having regulars. Now onward to the food, I ordered a pomegranate Arabic soda which tasted like a sweet refreshing elixir! My shawarma wrap came out with a bountiful amount of fries and meat + veggies inside. The frees were seasoned nicely & the shawarma wrap had such a tasty bite and overall texture to it! The meat was seasoned well, the veggies were fresh! & the Garlic tzatziki sauce made my soul sang! I felt like I was in pure paradise! The ambiance is very upbeat and lively! If you are ever in Albuquerque, check this place out! read more

I've come for years . The last couple of times I was extremely disappointed, today was the last straw. Pictured is the dry, tough chicken shawarma and old rice . Never again . read more

We have been coming to Yasmines for a long time and the food has always been great. They make their own pita bread so it is always fresh, their hummus can be a meal all on it's own because we can just eat that alone with the fresh pita, and kefta kabobs have a wonderful flavor to them. Everyone we have brought here have been very pleased with their meals. It's worth the trip to make it to Central to enjoy truly good food. read more

For starters, service is AMAZING!!! It's family ran & the young ones always have a smile on their face, that's rare! Food is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I got the Gyro Plate with 2 BRAFCO Apple Basil Seed Drinks to wash my food down & it was as they say "FIRE"!! I highly recommend this place for Albuquerque's top Favorite Restaurants!! P.S. The gyro plate may look dry in the photo I posted BUT that's on my own account. Trust me, if you DINE IN, ITS SO MUCH MORE APPETIZING & APPEALING, see for yourself! read more

there deserts have a RICH. taste that has a warm comforting aftertaste , totallyforgot the names of rhese snacks hut take a look , the first one to the top left , gave a smooth but instant cinnamon burst , with a perfect crush behind a soft dough like pastry, the orange one to the right gave a instant sweet cinnamon and what really concentrates the taste is the juices from these sweets , a strong whiplash! that shocks you out of chewing and takes you kn a nice deserted island surrounded with lollipops and cinnamon rolls ... lastly the last pastry i almost finished without taking a picture , was that good , simplicity is quoted best , and this oastry left that mark , not really outstanding with its looks , but its form and balance is everything , a soft yet chew bite with a sweet enriching taste leaves you lost in a endless sprial conversation of deluxe sweets .

The best part about this experience was learning about Yummy's, a donut and ice cream store with has over 200 reviews and is rated 5 stars. But that's not to say that the rest of the experience wasn't great. The interior is really interesting. The mural transported me to my childhood of Disney films, and I especially enjoyed the figure on the flying carpet. I liked the sparse display of framed photos of Turkey, and the longer I stood in front of them, the more I wondered if this is what it might be like to be in Turkey. It was an unassuming restaurant where you can go for a low-key meal of delicious food. The service on a late Friday afternoon was a bit slow despite not many patrons sitting inside, and I waited a bit longer than expected for a drink because other things came up before the employee could go get it; I suspect they're kept busy with the many meal delivery people coming in to pick up food. This was a good thing because it helped us slow down so we could savor the food and the atmosphere at the end of a work week. I liked that I could see the staff preparing the food, and in the back, I could see the large wood-fired-like oven and someone chopping tomatoes. The young employee with the earbud in his ear taking orders added to the laidback vibe of the place. The mother feeding the two kids from non-customer bowls giving the restaurant a family feel. The older man who was found both cleaning out in the front and helping out in the back. Employees kindly welcoming new faces and heartily greeting familiar ones. Food - 9/10 Service - 7/10 Ambiance - 8/10 A solid place doing solid work. read more

The food is reliable and delicious. I recommend the Jerusalem salad. The portion sizes are large.

Shawarma is great, definitely order an extra side of garlic sauce! Salad dressing is awesome! Only downside is their grape leaves (dolmas) are canned, not homemade, but that's the norm at most med/middle eastern restaurants. I'll go back for the chicken shawarma read more

This place is a gem. It was by far the best restaurant we ate at during our trip to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Everything we had was amaaaaaaazing-so fresh and flavorful & authentic! Particularly recommend the Turkish coffee, rice, pita, and Jerusalem Salad with tahini and pita. These 4 are the best I've had in America. I enjoyed the hummus and chicken schwarma as my main course & my mom said the kibbeh was also delicious. The staff were also so kind and friendly. They are devout and the food was Halal.
