    This place was great! The restaurant itself is really nice and the service is awesome. Our lovely waiter Audrey helped us order and recommended her favorite dishes to help us out. We got the Mazeh Plate, Lamb Shish Kebab, Beef and Lamb Gyros, and the Lamb Shank. Everything was delicious and flavorful! I especially liked the variety the Mazeh plate had, their falafels were great. Afterwards we got their key lime pie and Persian ice cream. I highly recommend both, the Persian ice cream was especially good with the saffron and rose water. We will definitely be coming back!

    This place is really nice ,the sitting area with lower table it was great for kids and romantic(lol) and unique , the service was great . Food was fantastic. I went with my family 2 small kids.and they both loved the food. they were really kids friendly. My wife's gyros platter came with rice and salad .21 years in us and that was a first.. I wish I knew our server's name.she was awesome. The owner was really nice. He is been doing this since 1984. We were driving through New Mexico. If we do it again, we'll definitely stop here.

    Wonderful food. Authentic atmosphere with traditional style seating and food options. Great for groups of people or intimate dining. Pictured is an appetizer, the Mazeh plate.

    This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in years! I was in town on business and it's a real shame the family didn't get to come with me. I tried the appetizer sampler the stew sampler and the dessert sampler. If you want to get a good impression of how wonderful this menu is overall I suggest trying escorting! The pomegranate and walnut stew sounds weird but it was absolutely fantastic! The falafel or some of the best I've ever eaten. And the Turkish coffee was phenomenal. The service was top-notch and the floor show is something to write home about!

    I just love the ambience of this cozy and beautiful Mediterranean restaurant. My favorite, the Lamb shank with rice. The meat falls off the bone so easily so you can enjoy mixing with the wonderful sauce. My mother ordered the shish kabob, She could not cut the tough meat, even after being given a steak knife. I tried, but it definitely was overcooked. Our waitperson offered to replace the meal with either chicken or lamb,but my mother was looking forward to the beef. I feel the meal should have been completely refunded but that wasn't even mentioned. I had also invited two other friends and it was their first visit. They also asked for steak knives as their meat was tough too! Please experience this restaurant, but be sure to let the wait service know how you want your meat cooked.

    Dined here with 2 companions. Place was packed but we got one of the last tables. The spices you smell upon entering the place is great. I had the whole Cornish Hen while my companions had the Lamb Shanks. All our entrees came with rice and we ordered Pita Bread as an extra. We also had the Greek Salad which had a tasty dressing. The main courses were very delicious. One thing that was great also was the extensive varieties of tea and coffee they had. Service was great even though the place was full. Altogether we spent $120 including tip. Great place to dine with a nice atmosphere.

    Lovely experience, great staff, good food, belly dancer was absolutely phenomenal. We did make reservations online since it was for my boyfriend’s birthday and I wanted to make sure we got in on time, and I was hoping it would mean we’d for sure get floor seating — I would note I would normally not get a reservation here or alternatively maybe call instead of booking online so you don’t have to risk a cancellation fee. Also, highly recommend trying the Persian baklava!

    On vacation. This place was close to our hotel - we ate at an off hour, still got super fast service - waitress was friendly and accommodating. Lamb gyro was SO FANTASTIC. Inside decor is fancy and fun without being pretentious. An excellent meal - highly recommend.

    This Mediterranean restaurant is stupendous. The service was phenomenal, waitress Amie, and the lamb is on one-million. Oh my goodness, the best lamb I've ever tasted co.ing from the east coast. The belly dancing was a great addition for the pleasant experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I want to go back on the weekend sometime. They have dancers I hear and I like the different sitting options inside the restaurant. The food was good I ordered us the combination appetizer which was a great mixture and yummy. Then had the gyro with beef and lamb so good. The rice is delicious. We had a cookie for dessert. Great service. A little pricey for lunch but I will be back.

    People: were nice! Seating area: nicely decorated Food: koobide was so dry and hard we could hardly cut. Lamb shank was not fully cooked, could not get the meat out w knife. Prices: way too high Yogurt drink: a total rip-off, was like a slushy, ice w Yogurt flavor All un all very disappointing The place seemed to have some recognition on the wall. My guess that they know how to make good food, but don't do it for normal customers ...perhaps special events get to have food made by real chefs... just speculation Waste of my travel meal.

    Just went for the first time with my fiancé. The entire experience was perfect! The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. We had hummus, a Greek salad, and the lamb kabobs.. followed by key lime pie. Each plate that was brought to us tasted sooo good. We were extremely happy with our server and can’t wait to be back!

    Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overl: 5/5 This an amazing restaurant with great ambiance. The decor is unique and there are traditional low sitting available with custom made tables and chairs. The food was AMAZING. Best Kabab koobideh and best kanob barg in southwestern states. Tender and juicy meats with high quality rice and ingredients. The appetizer plate we got was really good too particularly the Hummus stood out to me.

    A great place to taste Persian and Mediterranean food. Unique atmosphere inside. Friendly staff. Their ice cream was so good. Rice with barberries was unique and I could eat it without any curry.

    Decent place for Persian food, I visited from houston where similar dishes have bigger portion sizes but then again everything in big in texas

  • 4/5 Crista B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere and food here. My lamb kabob was a little over-cooked though not to the extent that the flavor was compromised. The Mother's day special was a great value and I appreciated that they offered it beginning Friday night when we were there! The belly-dancer was entertaining.

  • 5/5 Mica A. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the appetizer meze plate sampler, pars chicken and beef plate (no picture), and a baklava. Everything taste delish. The chicken and beef platter is extremely huge. It can be good for two people if you do not have a very big appetite. You can either share or save half to-go. The baklava is soft and chewy. With the ambience alone, I will definitely recommend Pars. It does give you the Persian feel dining in. Now, add their food to the mix, and I definitely definitely recommend!!! Unfortunately, there are no belly dancers when we went. We will definitely be back for more. ;)

    We ordered Sultani, which includes 2 different types of beef with rice and roasted tomatoes. They were delicious. Additionally, the place is very clean and pleasant along with friendly staff. I highly recommend Pars restaurant.

    We tried this restaurant for the first time coming to Albuquerque, the personnel are really great but the food is not Persian authentic and overall if I was going to give food the rating it will be two out of five but I'll do three out of five because our waiter.
