“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.“

“I get the shwarma bowl everytime. Its so good I havent tried anything else but I know I should. Such a good healthy lunch/dinner. Great portion for the price. This dish has made me fall in love with beets. The staff is so nice and makes me want to come back over and over. I eat there at least once a month.“

“We were in Albuquerque for the 4th of July weekend and wanted Mediterranean food. Google search led us to Yasmine's Cafe. We ordered at the counter and food came out fairly quickly. The food was great; portions were large. We would definitely recommend Yasmine's Cafe. We had an appetizer combo plate, gyro plate, and shawarma combination plate. They were as good or better than any that we have had.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

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

“I came here later in the evening after a long flight. Wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and came out quick. Most noteworthy was the amazing service. Very kind and even offered to make me coffee for my long drive ahead! Will be back again. Try the desert!“

“Had a mall day with my two kiddos and was looking for something fresh and light to share. 9 times out of 10 I will choose a gyro in a sea of food court options. A gyro salad? Perfect. Lamb was flavorful with crisp edges without being dry. Had to try the hummus- could eat it with a spoon. Which is exactly what my 1 year old did. Young lady at the front was wonderful. Will definitely be back!“

“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.“
