Best Middle Eastern in Albuquerque

We've been here a couple of times and think this is the best Middle Eastern food in Albuquerque. Lots of vegan options clearly marked and the servings are very big. They even have a couple of desserts that are vegan if you're in the mood for something sweet.

Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Vegan desserts, Big servings

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Good

Large portions and delicious garlic sauce. Could have a little more variety, and more fresh/cooked veggies, but overall a nice spot for falafel/fries

Delicious, authentic middle eastern food

Really enjoyed this family owned restaurant, and their falafel sandwich and hummus. Very authentic and super tasty food.

Excellent!

The menu features a Veggie Sampler containing:
Falafel (2), Hommous, Tabouli, Fattoush, Baba Ghanouj, pickle mix, Dolmas (2) and fresh pita bread. The online menu lists the price as $7.99; in-store it is actually $9.99. Aside from that minor oversight, I couldn't be happier. The owner, Omar, was welcoming to all of his patrons. Every item of the sampler was delicious and the plate was huge! Be sure to treat yourself to the baklava. Mmm, so good! I am only visiting Albuquerque, but will add Sahara to my "go to" list for any return trips.
