Middle Eastern Restaurants in Albuquerque, NM

“They have the best Dubai chocolate out there worth driving 3.5 hours also had a good conversation with the 2 gentleman refilling the machine awesome people!“

“Really delicious food, chill atmosphere, and the store is great! Everything we have tried is a certified banger: -Chicken or Lamb Shawarma -Tabouleh -Falafel -Hummus -Pistachio Baklava -Pita Do yourself a favor and get yourself some!“

“I was intrigued by the Kurdish & Persian cuisine posted under the business' name I thought it was fast food but it is actually a sit down restaurant but you can order takeout. It took about a 25 minute wait as they roasted the kabobs fresh then take the skewer out for the to-go box. The restaurant had beautiful chandeliers over all the tables and authentic wall decorations and mini dioramas of the Middle East this cuisine is from. Large pieces of art were for sale but the jewelry are display only.
Beautiful tea pots were on display. And best of all was their display of baklava deserts in the front case.

My husband loved the boneless lamb I ordered for us. The dish came with a very spicy jalapeno and a very cooling cucumber sauce that went perfect with the lamb.“

“I was extremely impressed and surprised. This food was cooked to order and the ingredients looked fresh. Meat was juicy and had a spice. The salad was a great addition with the meat and rich and cleansed the palette. I tried this soda they had and wow 2 thumbs up was like a Stewart’s black cherry soda. I’m glad I thought outside the box when I was looking at place to eat inside the mall. A great healthier option to choose from. Keep up the great work!!“

“My new favorite coffeehouse! A friend was in town and we needed to kill some time before dinner nearby, I'm so glad we spent time here! This is obviously a place a lot of students study, they even have a special soundproof glass study room for groups. The interior is gorgeous and clean, and the drinks were delicious! I tried a rose milk drink, which may be a seasonal special, but it was so much beyond what I was expecting. Sometimes rose flavor is kinda perfume-y, but this was botanical and had a depth I can't describe, so good! My friend enjoyed their americano, and we had the baklawa and the honeycomb bread. The balkawa was different from baklava, the nut flavors were more pronounced, there were more spices in the flavor, the pastry was crispier, and it was less sweet but it was still a dessert, we loved it. The honeycomb bread was something so new to me, the bread was so fresh, the flavor both familiar and complex, the sweetness so well balanced. I can't wait to go back, the honeycomb bread will be on my mind until I do.“
