Cleopatra Cafe

Ordered the food via DoorDash, so I can't comment on the Atmosphere or the Service of the restaurant, but the food, I'm here for it. I'll start with the "negatives"Rice wasn't too flavorful, not really special in any wayHummus was very light - (still had really good flavor, I just personally prefer a thicker hummus, so not even really a knock here)And the positives:The side salad, best side salad I've had, the feta cheese sprinkled across the top is just right, not too much that it's overwhelming, but enough that you get the flavor in each bite. Absolutely stunning, for it to be "just a salad"Cleopatra plate and Gyro, OUTSTANDING, I don't think I've ever had the lamb meat cooked the way this place cooks it, tender chunks, FULL of flavor.And as a little bonus, their signature house sauce on the top was amazing also, I finished all the pieces covered in the sauce first and was wishing I had some more on the side to dip the meats in, it is phenomenal. Definitely going on my list of restaurants I will be eating at when I'm in the area, every time I come through Santa Fe. Definitely go check this place out if you're nearby.

Santa Fe has its fair share of worthy restaurants. Count Cleopatra Café as one of those. The ambience is definitely unassuming, in the atrium of the design center. The food is fresh and very flavorful. I had the Egyptian salad with some pita bread.

kind of a strange place. Very very plain, almost industrial. They didn't even have the lights on. Service was quick. Salad was OK. Burger was OK. The little fries were absolutely delicious, but would not come back.

The Cleopatra cafe doesn't look like much from the outside but come on in because the food is excellent. My daughter and I are always looking for good Mediterranean food. They have a good many with variety. We started with a hummus and a side order of spanakopita. The hummus and fresh pita were amazing. The spanakopita was full of spinach. It was good but I prefer more feta. I had the cleopatra plate and my daughter had the beef kabobs. The meat on both plates were full of flavor. Both came with a nice rice side as well as small Greek salad. The salad was very good as well. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The service was good and friendly. We noticed a lot of to go orders. The tables were not very full but I think they had more to go orders than occupied tables. Very good. Well worth the side trip to find it!

Yes Yes Yes! I've been craving ~good~ Mediterranean food and this place hit the spot. I checked yelp before picking what to get and the Moses plate looked delicious and it did not disappoint. It had the perfect amount of sauce and the pita was nice and warm when it came out. We will absolutely be back! The dining area is somewhat dark but it didn't take away from the experience.

Up in Santa Fe and wanted to try some local eats and Cleopatra Cafe was a great meal for all 5 of us. Great staff and very friendly and a great place for dine in and takeout

I always enjoy Cleopatra Café. Their baba ghanoush is really nice. The falafel with Taziki sauce is tasty and the tomato based mussel soup is delicious. The restaurant is spacious and usually fairly quiet. The service is quick.

Please note that my review is from a door dash order of this restaurant. My experience was quite bad, but I don't know if it was door dash's fault, or the restaurants. Every single thing we ordered for had something wrong with it.. We ordered the following: 1. King Tut Plate - it was missing the Pita and Tabbouleh2. Cleopatra Plate - missing the Pita3. (2) extra sides of Pita - completely missing4. Side of Spanakopita - completely missing5. Side of Tzaziki - completely missing I filed a report to door dash, asking if another driver could pick up the rest of our meal since a SUBSTANTIAL amount of food was missing. They said that they wouldn't do that, and instead offered a credit. I did ask them to send over my feedback to the restaurant and they said they would, but I'm unsure if they did. Anyway, what we got tasted good so I want to try in person, but a terrible first impression nonetheless.

Visited Zafarano location for late lunch (1:30) based on reviews. Food was very good overall. The lamb and chicken with rice on the Cleopatra plate were excellent. The hummus was creamy and not overpowered with garlic. Good pita bread. The spanakopita was flavorful not too heavy of dill but the phyllo was not as crispy as should be. Avogolemono soup was on the bland side. The greek salad was excellent. The wait to place order at front counter and have it delivered to table was reasonable. Service personnel were okay but not especially friendly. The ambiance was nondescript with large tall tables and stools. No real decorations felt more industrial than appealing. Would definitely go back for the food.

I ordered Uber eat so I don't have any information on the service or ambiance. But the meal I got had very little flavor. The couscous had no flavor at all and was extremely dry. There was a ton of chickpeas which was a little much. There was a lot of chickpeas. The chicken was grilled pretty good, but there was still not much flavor to the chicken.
