  I rate their falafel as 5 stars. Delicious. However, I ordered a chicken pita sandwich and I do not recommend it. First, there was hardly any chicken on it. Secondly, there was so much onion, lettuce, cabbage and sauce that it was impossible to pick up and eat as a sandwich and the pita actually fell apart. I ended up throwing it away and going to try the Asian place in downtown food court. Also, one of the employees has a really long beard which is disconcerting for someone preparing food.

  The worst experience. Went in to enjoy lunch with some co workers. Half way through my meal I found a hair. I get it, it happens. I went up to the counter to show the worker and he was pissed I even mentioned it. I didn't ask for my money back or make a scene. Just wanted to let them know. He didn't even say sorry or let me fix it. He argued with me and said it was probably mine. I told him he can review his cameras and see exactly the time I found it and I went to the counter immediately.

  I think this is the best Mediterranean food in Albuquerque! The bowls, coffee and dessert are amazing. And it is clean food! It is very difficult to find a restaurant that cooks with avocado oil.

  My husband and I placed an order for pick up. My husband ordered a bowl with lamb and no salad, I ordered a sandwich with falafel with a side of the Honey cream sauce. We were super excited cause we LOVE Mediterranean food, and the food was sad :( First off, the lamb was disappointing. The bowl came with 5 balls of ground lamb, that was unseasoned. The bowl came with salad, even though he asked for no salad on the order. The jasmine rice tasted off, like it hadn’t been washed before cooking. My falafel was dry and quite hard, like it had been sitting out all day. The pita bread was okay. The portions are quite large, and the life saver was the Honey Za’atar Cream Sauce. Holy moly, I could drink that sauce. Overall all though, for almost $40 for two entrees, we expected this food to be AMAZING and it was below par. We barely ate anything cause the flavor was lacking. I would go back to the drawing board for your meat and focus on quality over quantity, cause what’s the point in having large portions if no one is going to want to eat it.

  I see a lot of positive reviews, however I did not have that same experience. The pita was like cardboard, the salad was mostly cabbage, and the falafel was hard, with a strange flavor and texture.
