Fantastic service with good food. Our server was really sweet! The food was tasty and served rather quickly. Lovely restaurant!

No as good as we expected and too expensive for the poor quality of the food. We were swerving because there was not AC on

I had gyros which was tasty! Also there was a belly dancer, so exotic!

Great experience for the price and for the cultural expressions of the dish. Will come back soon!

Food was ok though my daughter found a couple of hairs in her tea as well as dish. Atmosphere is stuffy (back to the 70s/80s). They tack on a credit card charge which customers don’t hear about until after the bill arrives. Lastly, their recommended tipping amount (starts at 20%) on the check is on the whole amount including tax. I’m used to tip on the price without tax. Overall the pricing doesn’t match the value of the dining experience…(The waitress was very sweet and attentive)

Came after a hard morning. Tried several places said no pet. Here we were greeted with open arms. Sat on a private patio with greek music playing. Wished I lived closer to come again.

We enjoyed the food and the belly dancers. The waiter was very good.

I was excited to try this Mediterranean restaurant, especially after purchasing a discounted gift certificate. However, the experience left me questioning how this place is still in business.
First, they automatically deduct 20% from your total just because you’re using the gift certificate—so much for a “deal.” Nowhere was this clearly mentioned when purchasing it, and it felt like a bait-and-switch.
Then came the food, which was shockingly bland for a cuisine known for its bold flavors. The gyro was underwhelming—dry, lacking seasoning, and nothing like what you’d expect from a good Mediterranean spot.
Overall, between the deceptive pricing and uninspired food, I wouldn’t return. There are far better Mediterranean spots that actually deliver on taste and has integrity for a deal that they were part of.

I visited this place last summer. A co-worker told me this place is the best persian food in town, bar none. When I walked in there was no one to greet me. The server/workers passed me by as I waited in the front and after 10~15 minutes and no acknowledgement, I left. I am writing this review now, only because my girlfriend reminded me that my co-worker is 1 for 5 in recommendations of good places to eat in ABQ. This is not the one good place to eat.
The food was sub par at best. The rice tasted like it had been through a dishwasher or something.

I used to like this restaurant, which is why I purchased the Sweet Deals certificate, but the way they honor these is so awful and tricky you may as well pay full price, or don't go at all, which is what I will be doing. I will never return as the owner is very rude and has no integrity. I planned to use these for take-out and they would not allow it, even though it says NO WHERE on the certificate that it cannot be used for take-out, so when I spoke to the owner on the phone he got so rude and hung up on me. Why participate in the offer if you're not going to honor it and then add all these stipulations after the fact, that are not written on the certificate. So when I finally had a chance to go use it in-person, I ordered a special. Then after I got the food the ridiculous waiter says it cannot be used on specials. Why could he not have told me this BEFORE I ordered?!?!? So I had to pay the non-special price which put me way over the certificate. He tricked me into ordering it and told me AFTER I got the food so I had to pay the full-price. And he added 20% to the bill automatically! So rude! Mind you, my brother went a few weeks prior to use another Sweet Deals certificate and ordered a special and they let him use it with the special price. And they didn't add the 20%. So if you're going to participate in an offer like this, see it out and give the PAYING customers what they paid for!! And be consistent with your made-up rules!! The owner had the audacity to tell me that he didn't benefit from the offer and didn't get any of the money. So he didn't like the outcome and started ripping everyone off? I still paid my hard-earned money for those. I've seen several complaints on here about the Sweet Deals offer so I am not surprised.
I will never return here and will be spreading the word that the owner is horrible man. There are plenty of good if not better Mediterranean food places in Albuquerque.

We received $50 gift certificates from a friend so we can try out this restaurant. As we got there it took a while for them even know we were waiting to be seated. After a while we got a table. Our waitress was very nice and friendly, food quality was good. Something new and flavorful. What they fell short is that they charge $15 out of our $50 gift certificates for whatever reason they do. What we didn’t know if that $15 was going to the waitress or restaurant kept that. We left 20% tip from original bill and paid the difference with credit card. What we didn’t like why we were charged $15 because we were using the gift certificates. Besides that if you pay cash your bill is cheaper but if you pay with credit card you have to pay extra. No need for response. We won’t be returning.

They don’t honor sweet deal gift certificates. I have $50 to my sister and husband. They went to dine in and were told that the certificates were only good for take out. The following day they went and were told that they weren’t good for lunch. I have never been to this restaurant, but I plan on using those certificates and never returning to this lame restaurant. I don’t care about the quality. I care about integrity.
