    Good parking in back, if you pay for parking, yanni's will validate your ticket. Very good service, great food, great place. The meal I got was delicious. Souvlaki chicken, squash, rice and baklava ice cream, which was shared by 3.

    Lunch was great! I was undecided and at the suggestion of the waitress I tried the lamb shank with rice and veggies. The lamb was so moist that it just fell off the bone and was great with the sides. My friend had a salad and was able to add lamb medallions to it. She said it was fresh and flavorfu and that adding the lamb and watermelon made it.Hats off to the great service that we received.

    We had a great dinner experience here. Started with artichoke appetizer. It was huge and wonderful. We ate the acorn squash with salmon and shrimp. We also ordered the sole nightly special. We loved the food and service. Beautiful restaurant on central Ave.

    Another Nob Hill gem. So glad they are still open. I go once a month. Everything on the menu is high quality and delicious. Hands down one of my favorite Albuquerque restaurants. Was gonna post a pic of the Calamari but ate it before I realized I didn't get a pic. Yeah, it was that good.

    Updated Review April 2022: Yanni’s food quality is back! The Caprese salad and the grilled lemon artichoke were both amazing appetizers. I usually get the chicken Souvlaki skewers and they were perfect. My husband ordered the salmon and said it was great! He always finishes his meal off with a slice of coconut cream pie, which is usually good, but the piece he got a week ago tasted like it had been frozen and wasn’t quite thawed. The only other reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the service has not yet recovered since the pandemic (due to it being hard to hire right now).

    Food was great! I had the Traditional Gyro with potatoes. Staff were polite and accommodating when I asked if we increase the size of our reservation. Would definitely return.

    I love Yanni’s. It’s my favorite Greek food and steak in town. Nice ambiance for dining. Great wait staff. Their avgolemono soup is wonderful! Don’t miss this restaurant!

    One of the few places in Albuquerque that can cook salmon correctly. 5/5 would come again.

    Food and service were outstanding. I ordered the Sole. The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish (chef’s kiss * )! Our waitress was a gem as well!

    Haven't been there for years. Pleasantly surprised. The four of us had a great experience. Service was spot on, attentive and friendly. The artichoke appetizer was delicious. All of the dishes were great. Freshly made and tasty. Have had some recent poor dining experiences, so this was refreshing.

    The food is incredible. Even though we had to wait 15 minutes because of a misunderstanding from the hostess it was worth the wait.

    Been a few years since I've been, but decided to try it this past weekend. Don't remember being so impressed before, but now it is amazing! New chef??? Great drink from the bar. Then perfect warm crusty bread and oil. Then the crab cake... Just wow. The calamari was the best I've had in a long time. Easily the best in Albuquerque. Then had a seafood stuffed acorn squash and was equally impressed. Left the place saying it was the best meal we've had in a long time. We're adding it to our must visit monthly places.

    Mediocre at best. Was looking forward to some delicious Greek food, unfortunately was not delivered. The soulvaki chicken was overcooked and very chewy, the cedar plank salmon was flavorless, and the split chicken came with mashed potatoes that had goat cheese in it that literally tasted and smelled like stinky armits and steamed veggies with what tasted like canned tomato sauce . I was so looking forward to some calamari, all the reviews had good things to say about it, the calamari itself was prepared wonderfully but the sauce they put under it tasted like tomato sauce straight from the can. Super disappointing, Left hungry . . . Headed to Holy Cow

    We went on a Thursday night it wasn't at all busy. The service was prompt, the food was incredible. Really try the crab cake appetizer, I swear I was tempted to just eat a couple of orders of them it was incredible. The seafood stuffeg acorn sqaush was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

    I was really impressed with this restaurant. Not only were the drinks and food perfect, but the portion sizes were big and the staff were all super friendly. This is the perfect place for a date night or to celebrate something.

    Yanni's is always a great place for Mediterranean food. We had a great evening, and we got the best sest in the patio! The atmosphere was perfect. The food was great! It's definitely a great place to take the special person in your life!

    We hadn't been here in years but had a NM Restaurants gift card and Mediterranean food sounded good so we decided to give them a try again. The atmosphere is nice and our server did a good job. The food, overall, was fine but nothing special and I felt the portions were a little small for the price. My wife ordered a Fireside Sangria that looked great but arrived watery and one-dimensional considering all of the fruit, cinnamon, etc that was in it. We shared a steamed artichoke app that was very good- but $16 for an artichoke? I ordered the Gyro (pictured) and it seemed there was more red onion than gyro meat which was disappointing at $20 when I could go to so many other places and get a similar gyro for half that. It was very flavorful and enjoyable once I removed about half the onions. Again, nothing terrible but also nothing noteworthy for me besides the prices.

    The most AMAZING, DELICIOUS steak I ever had!! Cooked to perfection!! The potatoes au gratin and fresh green beans were also to die for!! Absolutely no additional seasonings were needed! The service was out of this world and the atmosphere was very nice!
