13 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Albuquerque

“Had the lamb kabob sandwich. Best one I ever had! Best lamb I ever had. Totally visiting again.“

“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!“

“My better half got a heaping gyro that came with a Greek salad that included beats. She ate half. Yay, for leftovers.
I wasn't feeling great so the chef made me an off menu simple chicken and rice dish. I really appreciate when staff are able to make accommodations. It's a reflection of their character and that of the owners! Thx Green Z!!!“

“I miss this place so much! It was my favorite local spot. Family owned and the food is delicious! The best hummus and soft warm pita ever. I love eating inside the restaurant. Everyone is so friendly and inviting. Super casual spot perfect for lunch or early dinner. I recommend the lamb shawarma and falafel 😋🤤“

“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.“

“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!“

“Central Bodega is the best date night dining experience in town. It is quaint, yet sophisticated. The service is very good. The food, particularly the lamb, is out of this world!“

“Always delicious. My only stop when in Albuquerque...Thank you Pars for your delicious cuisine and for supporting The Art of the Belly Dancer. God bless you in 2023 and always“

“Highly recommend ordering their meals. They are delicious very tasty and plentiful. You will not be disappointed.“

“lamb Gyro Plate with the salad, and rice was very well worth the money. It was great quality and authentic Mediterranean. Would highly recommend.“

“Food was delicious and the staff was accommodating and kind. I got the Greek plate with chicken… the meat was juicy, flavorful, and perfect, as was everything else on the plate!
Had a calm atmosphere which made it easy to read my book over lunch. Will be returning.“

“So, yes, it's a little bit pricey. Now that that's out of the way... You're paying for the view and location. Our food was very good. Service was very good. We will definitely go back. I'm surprised we waited as long as we did after the rebuild. Oh, there were people there dressed relatively casual. No t-shirts, but many people in nice jeans. We've eaten on the bar/casual side a few times before and the experience there was also positive. Yes, check the prices before you go so you don't get sticker shock. But the truth is, two people could easily have dinner with no wine, appetizer or dessert for around $100.“

“I had an amazing experience at Shawarma Express! The food was absolutely delicious — I ordered the chicken shawarma salad, and it was packed with flavor. The chicken was perfectly grilled, tender, and well-seasoned. The garlic sauce was rich and creamy, and added the perfect finishing touch to the meal.
Portion size was generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The presentation was neat and clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. You can really taste the love in every bite.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving quality Mediterranean food at a great price. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! 🍽️🔥💯“
