We like Lindy’s for their retro-ish décor, Downtown convenience and $5 pitchers of beer. The food here is pretty typical diner fare with a good amount of New Mexican and Greek specialties thrown into the mix, served in hefty portions. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review We like to wobble over to Milton's when we’re all hungover and scarf down a killer breakfast burrito or Monte Cristo. They’re not an all-night diner (contrary to their “always open” signage), but the 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. hours serve us just fine. Delish. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] A good bet for Greek/American in the heart of Downtown’s bustling Fourth Street business area. Take a break from your hectic work schedule with a nice, hot cup of lentil soup, a burger and a big smile from the friendly staff. Low carb options are abundant. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Plaza Eatery, steps away from Civic Plaza, is an ideal location to eat lunch and spot your local elected government officials, whether it be city councilors or the mayor himself. With some of the lowest prices Downtown and a large menu of tasty American, Greek and New Mexican lunch specials, and lots of fresh baked goods, Plaza Eatery is one of Downtown’s best-kept secrets. Try a chicken walnut sandwich, served on a croissant with grapes, and get an iced sugar cookie for dessert. Or try the Spanakopita—delicious homemade spinach pie served with pita bread, tsatsiki sauce and a green leaf salad on the side. Plaza Eatery also offers a sizeable breakfast menu.

Sunday: Please call for hours (subject to change) Full review: In Downtown, it’s business as unusual (3/5/2009)
Open only for breakfast and lunch, Zohra's caters to the 9-to-5 crowd with a little bit of everything a Downtown diner could possibly want: Afghani foods, American standbys, even Indian tacos. But stick with the Middle Eastern stuff, including a number of vegetarian choices that come à la carte or as a meal.

Gyros, souvlaki,
taramosalata
, roast chicken and potatoes, leg of lamb, lentil soup—the menu at Zorba’s rings familiar, and no wonder. The family behind Zorba’s is the same that opened the Olympia Café near UNM more than 35 years ago. But here, in the Far Northeast Heights, you’ll notice a long, expanded list of dishes, including more seafood and desserts, plus a lot of elbow room and a generous patio.

Sun: 10:30 for brunch
Closed Monday (subject to change) Cuisine: Greek/Mediterranean
This is Greek food that’s elegant, straightforward and absolutely delicious. White tile and recessed blue light create an island oasis that’s suggested rather than spelled out (no 8-foot murals here), and the service is friendly and attentive. The lentil soup is seasoned with just a whisper of aged balsamic vinegar, perfect with a toasty triangle of imported pita bread and a light Greek salad. Stop in for a snifter of ouzo and live jazz music on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] Albuquerque - I-25 CorridorLocated in the Design Center—home to a Pella Windows showroom, a granite company and other decorator/designer products—Rose’s has a very nice open, high ceiling eating area. Rose and Roxanne are friendly and mellow. It's a bit pricey, but the ingredients are fresh and tastily prepared. Excellent chile, and they serve black beans. (Alibi Staff, June 16, 2011) Add a Review If you like chicken-fried steak, then you owe it to your belly to eat at Vic’s. A chef friend of ours turned us on to Vic’s, where the “Big Daddy” is a giant buttermilk-battered steak that will make your eyes light up and your stomach say “howdy.” Seriously, some of the best we’ve ever had. The rest of the menu is classic diner fare (meat loaf, liver and onions) with a large selection of sandwiches, New Mexican and Greek dishes. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] Albuquerque - Nob Hill Yanni's Mediterranean Grill and Opa BarMon-Thurs: 11am-9:30pm
Fri-Sat: 11am-10:30pm
Sun: 11:30am-8:30pm (subject to change)
You love Yanni's. So do we. As the only restaurant in Albuquerque with a diverse and refined Greek-influenced Mediterranean menu, who can top them? Their adjoined Opa Bar seats about 85 people and is open for lunch, dinner or just cocktails. Painted deep red, dimly lit and accented with lots of dark wood, the lounge provides a stark contrast to the bright, light and airy dining rooms at Yanni's. It’s an ideal place for pre- or post-movie cocktails and snacks, or more substantial cuisine.

Mohamad Jalil and Bilal Omar opened Middle East Restaurant as a grocery with just a few tables in 2009. Their in-house bakery produces fresh breads daily. The dining area is canopied, giving the space the feel of a desert ramada. Two rows of booths lead to a traditional dining room for private parties. The menu boasts some of the best falafel and shawarma sandwiches around. Perfectly spiced, the combos include a beverage and a piece of rich, buttery baklava. A dark Arabic coffee is Jalil’s own blend, enhanced with a touch of cardamom. Jalil, Omar and Ebramem Kahla all cook the traditional dishes with flavor to spare. At the grocery, you can take home halal marshmallows with your halal meats. (Alibi Staff, May 20, 2011) Add a Review Albuquerque - UniversityGyros is a modern-looking Greek place. None of that cheesy wall-to-wall blue and white paint or brimming flower pots here. Instead, Gyros opts for a kind of metallic sheen. Luckily, the food is just as reasonably priced as the next Greek joint. The souvlaki and gyros are good, but be sure to try the lemon rice and the honey-soaked baklava. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review
Voted Best Greek in our Best of Burque Restaurants poll time and time again, Olympia is a good old Greek diner with tasty comfort food: delicious gyros, souvlaki, pita, spanakopita and roasted potatoes. Vegetarian options are plentiful and cheap, but if that’s not your bag, $11 will buy you a leg of lamb with salad, potatoes and bread. Kids love gyros. It's a universal thing. We don't know what it's about. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Albuquerque - Upper Nob Hill Kasbah Mediterranean CuisineLunch hours: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday

Ridha Bouajila (late of Marrakech and the Mediterranean Café) is the chef behind this small, Moroccan- and Tunisian-focused eatery. It’s perhaps the only place in town offering king’s
bastilla
(a savory chicken pie dusted with sugar and splashed with rosewater) and a host of couscous-packed tagines. But the more traditional Mediterranean dish shouldn’t get ignored. The fabulous moussaka is almost soufflé-like. Dill permeats the spinach filling in the spanakopita. And the lamb/beef gyro sandwich is incredibly tasty and, at six bucks, a damn good deal (Alibi Staff, March 29, 2012) Add a Review Albuquerque - Westside
Western View is a neighborhood joint. And judging by the steady stream of well-fed customers you’ll find there, it’s serving its neighborhood well. Men in work boots fill the space with lively banter that bounces from table to worn-in table. The service is smooth and unadorned. Coffee never stops pouring. Condiments find their way to the table without special requests. Orders of giant, chile-clad “Hungryman” burgers, New Mexican platters and even a few Greek specialties are delivered hot and fast. And the fries are scrumptious, and so are the old-fashioned milkshakes. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review |
