It's confusing first 😕 you need to go through different restaurant with same owner, LA cantina end then you reach this one.

Truly delicious food. We had 5 different items, all delicious. The lamb stew was great and the spanakopita was the best I’ve had.

I have been loving this place for the past 1 year as the food used to taste good and the service was pleasant. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, nowadays the food lost its taste and the service is very bad when you dine in. Last time when we visited, the lamb was not cooked well and was totally blunt. Should stop visiting and find an alternative!

They made me wait 30 minutes for the wrong order after sending me a text telling me my order was ready. I always order the Gyro plate, which comes on a bed of rice, and comes with soup or salad. I’ve chosen salad every time. Twice they forgot to include the salad in my order and tonight they did not include any rice, and only included salad. Besides that I got a text saying my order was ready half an hour before it was actually ready and just had to sit hungrily waiting in the restaurant with others until they finally brought out my (wrong) order. I want so badly to love this restaurant and eat here more often but this service is inexcusable. Especially when it costs $17 a plate. Ridiculous.

This place used to be good and affordable. Since they opened the new location everything has gone down hill. The service is terrible, the portions are small, and the prices have gone up ridiculously. I used to frequent here a few times a month but I think that is over.
I was surprised that the business owners would even ruminate about opening a Middle-Eastern/Lebanese/Mediterranean style restaurant in a tiny city/town like Los Alamos considering the population and questionable exposure to this type of cuisine, but I'm glad that they made the choice to move forward with it. Since I can't see the future, I won't know how successful this restaurant will become, but I hope this business remains for the long haul because my experience here was good; not to mention, this area needs more diverse options since all I mostly see is American or (New) Mexican-centric food. Living in Las Vegas (Nevada), and having traveled to many countries, I have gained appreciation and the palate for all types of food from a wide-array of cultures/ethnicity, so it was refreshing to see this restaurant here.
I stopped here for lunch with a co-worker on 9 Oct 2024 and overall, I "liked" this restaurant as depicted in my 4-star rating. When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't busy at all...I'm not sure if it's because this restaurant was on the newer side and many people didn't know about it, or perhaps we didn't arrive during peak hours; or, maybe this restaurant wasn't that good to other customers. Regardless, I was happy that there were tables open for us because I didn't feel like waiting. The restaurant is a self-seating and pseudo-self-serve concept, meaning, we chose our own table and utilized a tablet to order and to pay for our food instead of placing our order with an actual employee (server). I didn't have any issues with that process; however, I wanted to add it to this review in the event people aren't as tech savvy, or thrive off of interaction with people/employees. Normally I'm not one of those virtual/technology types of people but I will say that their tablet was intuitive...and I especially enjoyed how it provided an option to split the payments versus having to request it afterwards. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of the tablet prompting you for a tip prior to services being rendered...similar to how a lot of businesses are using that concept (the whole turning the digital tablet around at the cashier counter asking if you would like to leave a tip). It's not that I don't agree with leaving a tip; I just don't agree with paying a tip before a service.
I ended up ordering the Chicken Soup, Hummus with Pita Bread, and Gyro Plate. The soup had great flavor and had that traditional lemon taste to it; the hummus and bread was adequate - I can't say it was the best I've ever had, but it still hit the spot. The Gyro Plate was outstanding...that meat was cooked to beyond perfection (I enjoyed how they seared the outside of the meat providing a magnificent texture to it). I was a little bummed that the plate didn't look exactly like the picture, meaning, I was hoping for a little bit of veggies with my entrée. But, overcoming certain life's obstacles can be easy...I just went to one of the employees and asked for a plate of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions...which he happily provided with some cucumbers.
The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was respectable. The booth seats could use a little bit of an upgrade since it wasn't comfortable at all - it felt like I was sinking into the seat, and I know I'm not that heavy. I hope for the benefit of other customers, it was just that booth and not the entire restaurant. The service that we did receive (bringing out the food and drinks) was adequate - the employees were nice and efficient. If you've never tried this place, I highly recommend it. I am all for trying new places and new types of cuisine so eating food outside of your typical McDonald's and Applebee's is always within my playbook. Why not adventure away from the boring standard?

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and wonderful staff.
Waiter forgot part of our order. Never came back to see if we needed our drinks refreshed then left. New waiter gave me a to go box when requested but didn't bring a check or even asked if we were ready for a check as he was to busy with his phone. It's a shame about the service because the food was excellent. Won't be returning
