14 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Albuquerque

“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!“

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

“Fresh, healthy and delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“Just ate here on my way to Abiquiu and I wish I could give this place 10 stars....The bread is fresh, some of the best hummus I have tasted anywhere, even in the Middle East...This is much more than a café. The owner and staff are kind, generous, and professional. Top notch!“

“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!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😋 the shack is FIRE!
I didn’t think it was possible to be better than the Eubank location but I tried the San Mateo shack because it’s closer to home. I was a little worried I’d be disappointed as Eubank shack is FIRE. Well to my happy surprise the San Mateo shack is even more 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE. Lucky 🍀 me as I won’t need to drive as far, second time this week. I’ve tried the falafel and the spicy bacon gyro. I wasn’t a fan of the baklava, too
Much cinnamon it was like a churro baklava, maybe it was on purpose and others probably love it. It wasn’t enough to lower my rating. I still say go Now! Gyro shack (either location) is THE place for Greek Fusion in the 505.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The food was nothing short of incredible—authentic Greek flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented dishes. The lamb gyro was amazing and the tzatziki was some of the best I’ve ever had.“

“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! 🍽️🔥💯“
