Was really excited to try this place, but we both had tummy aches after our sandwiches. I got chicken, he got lamb, and we shared the falafel appetizer. Not sure what had us feeling unwell, but digestion was not easy.Loved the pickles inside the sandwiches, but the fries were over done (crunchy to the point of hard). Baklava the next morning was good but not great; pistachio better than walnut...but I make my own, so not seeing a reason to return.

Tahini sauce happily joined to make party..:)We also shared a delicious.."Gyro Platter" and a simply the best Side of Hummus..:)Washed down w. A can of "Vimto" by the Grantyke; A glass of Iced Mint tea by the Lass and A cup of Turkish Joe for the Lad..last but not least "Pistachio Baklava" so good..:) A fun mideast getaway for those on mirage income..:) A whole new worldA whole new worldThat's where we'll beThat's where we'll beA thrilling chaseA wondrous placeFor you and me..:)Best, Avram Menamasoo Jr.

I had ate here once during the pandemic. Times were weird, food was to go only and I think that may have affected the quality in that it seemed dry/old by the time we got home to eat it. Me and my boo were bored looking for a place to try something a little different recently and decided to give this place another shot now that we could actually sit and get it fresh. Boy we were in for a treat. This was extremely delicious and oh so fresh. I had the swarma combo which came with a small salad, hummus, pita bread, and of course that delicious swarma. Needless to say, I finished it all (took a bit home but it was finished in the following hours). The restaurant is nice and clean. The waitstaff were very attentive and nice. On the way out, I made sure to grab a piece of the pistachio baklava which was heavenly. Highly recommend if you're a fan of Mediterranean food.

Jerusalem - Taste of the Holy Land, is the fifth, as last place, we went to try and something to eat for dinner. I've learned a hard lesson. If you work the evening before a holiday, like today (July 3), and get home at normal hours, forget going out to eat. Every place to booked, crowded and impossible to get into. This place was no different.Thank you, Jerusalem, for making a meal to go. It wasn't quite what I wanted (I was hoping to eat in air conditioning), but at least I'll eat.

i have eaten here twice and enjoyed it. I ordered the Chicken Kebab Platter with hummus. It also comes with a choice of salad in which I decided on the Greek Salad. The chicken is so tender and flavorful. The hummus steals the show! The Greek Salad is good, too, except the olives are not pitted so be careful when eating those. Portion is substantial and I usually take some home. The pistachio baklava is delicious and not overly sweet as baklava usually is. The young man who served us is delightful and friendly. The restaurant inside is okay.

We've been reading about how good this restaurant is on ABQ Foodies on FB and the reviews were right! The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful! I couldn't believe the plate of beef shawarma and rice was only $21.99 which included choice of salad and pita bread. Everything was seasoned well. We will be back!!!! If I could give it 10 stars I would!!

Amazing service, the server was very kind and helpful; food came out quickly and was excellent. The portions were sizable and everything tasted amazing, finished my food before I thought to take a picture for the review. Has a comfortable atmosphere and lovely decor. Definitely planning on coming back!

Chicken Schwarma is always great. Large portions and always get the order correct even when asking for removed ingredients.
