“Food was great, I got stared at by a homeless guy while I ate through the glass windows and the staff didn’t do anything and actually one of the restaurant patrons went to chase him off. My mom thanked the lady taking plates away and the lady never said anything back. One of the weirdest dining experiences of my life but the lamb was amazing, would recommend to anyone.“

“It's time for another Albuquerque restaurant review ... and the biggest takeaway from today's experience is "unexpected at every turn." This cute little restaurant is located in a "hip" area, and is bigger inside than it looks outside. Mazaya Cafe #mazayacafealbuquerque was recommended by google after looking up "Falafel." This place advertises itself as "Mediterranean Fusion"... so it begs to question: Fused with what? Mark and I spent the meal trying to figure that out ! (Turns out it's a blend of cuisines including Greek, Lebanese, and others!). The owners are from Nepal. I've eaten plenty of falafel in my days, so when I go to a new restaurant, I always make it a habit to order them ;-). These were nice and crispy on the outside but remained tender on the inside. Shawarma (chicken) was where we experienced the "Fusion" part. This one had raisins and other complementary spices (I believe I tasted cinnamon and coriander but ... please, please don't hold me to that!). The decor was also blended. The waiter was attentive and our experience was absolute delightful! Definitely a 5/5 in my book ;-). Bonus game: does anyone want to hazard a guess at what the pink thing is? #gourmetrecovery #abqrestaurant #foodreviews“

“Our first experience has been very tasty. The vegan arepa, arepa plate, parrilla del Árabe, and falafel were all delicious. We weren’t as fond of the empanada de queso (similar to a quesadilla) because of the strongly flavored cheese, but that’s just down to preferences. The owner was friendly and the food was well packaged for takeout.“

“Stacy made us feel welcome immediately with a huge smile and warm greeting. When she heard it was our first time there, we were offered samples along with an excellent description of the dishes. Once the food was served, my tastebuds did the happy dance! The food was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Habibi House is hands down the best halal restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel like I was part of the family.The menu at Habibi House is a perfect blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. Every dish is prepared with the freshest and highest quality ingredients, creating a burst of flavors in every bite. The hummus is creamy and the falafel is crispy, and the lamb kabobs are cooked to perfection. I highly recommend their chicken shawarma, which is juicy and full of spices.The staff at Habibi House is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They are always happy to suggest dishes and help you navigate through the different options. The service is top-notch and they make you feel like a VIP every time you dine there.In addition to the delicious food, Habibi House also has a beautiful and cozy ambience. The decor is a mix of traditional and modern, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. I particularly love the Arabic music playing in the background, which adds to the overall experience.But what truly sets Habibi House apart is their commitment to halal food. As a Muslim, it can be challenging to find halal restaurants in certain areas, but Habibi House ensures that all their dishes are prepared following strict halal guidelines. This is a huge plus for me, as I can eat here without worrying about the food being halal or not.Overall, I highly recommend Habibi House to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic halal dining experience in Albuquerque. The food, service, and ambience are all top-notch, making it the best halal restaurant in the city. I guarantee that once you try their food, you'll keep going back for more.“

“On our trip to the area, we ran across this wonderful Persian restaurant. We ordered Chello Kebab and Fesenjan, both of which were exceptional. The owner Mr. Tafti shared his heart-warming story which explains how the food quality remains so high. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to explore Persian and Mediterranean food in the area.“

“My Lebanese parents are very picky when it comes to middle eastern food and commented that the food at Shawarma Express was “outstanding” and gave it their stamp of approval. Excellent food every time! Don’t skip the appetizers! The hummus, baba gannoush, dolmas and falafel are all delicious.“

“We absolutely enjoyed their food. Amazing customer service - My sister is a fiend for bread. She wanted another pita bread after we had finished our meal, the owner gave her one for free lol. A side of pita bread costs only a dollar. We insisted on paying, but he kindly rejected making that sale. We were so thankful for his kindness, definitely bring more friends to this spot!“

“The food is amazing! It’s really authentic and just good clean eating. The food comes out a little slow and the service counter gets kind of backed up because of all of the to go orders waiting to be picked up, but they’re always friendly! The Baba ghanoush and the shawarma plate is to die for, also make sure you get some baklava after your meal! I would definitely recommend!“
