The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill - Albuquerque, NM — Restaurant in Albuquerque

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A Spectacular New Addition to Our Local Food Scene!

What a fantastic discovery! Having visited The Great Greek Mediterranean multiple times since their opening two weeks ago, I can confidently say this place is a gem. Despite being newly opened, they're handling the busy crowds impressively well, which speaks volumes about their management.

Their gyro selection is outstanding – I've tried the chicken, beef, and lamb variations, and each one delivers authentic Mediterranean flavors with perfectly seasoned meat. The gyros come with just the right balance of toppings and sauce, making every bite memorable.

The souvlaki plates are another highlight. I've sampled their chicken, steak, and shrimp options, and the quality is consistently excellent. Each protein is grilled to perfection, maintaining its juiciness while delivering that characteristic Mediterranean char and seasoning.

A special mention must go to their house-made desserts. The baklava is crafted fresh in-house – you can taste the care in every flaky layer of phyllo dough, perfectly balanced with honey and nuts. Their innovative baklava ice cream is also made right there in the restaurant, a creative twist that combines the classic dessert's flavors into a cool, creamy treat. It's rare to find restaurants making these specialty desserts in-house, and the difference in freshness and quality is absolutely noticeable.

What truly sets this place apart is that it's so good, my family and I have returned multiple times in the same week and even brought friends along. That's perhaps the highest praise any restaurant can receive – when customers become regulars within days of opening.

While they're still new and working on streamlining their operations, their food quality and service haven't suffered at all. It's impressive to see such consistency this early in their opening.

If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean cuisine that's a cut above the rest, The Great Greek Mediterranean is absolutely worth visiting. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours – but trust me,...

Maybe Chick-fil-a has really spoiled us all. When I walk into an establishment especially within the first 30 days of business I expect to be WOW'd by the greeting and the atmosphere. Not the case here. The front cashier worker was insouciant and lackluster in her approach in welcoming me in the store and taking my order. SERVICE GRADE: F. Then, I ordered the gyro with lamb meat and when the food finally came out it included some harder than a rock fries that were dropped in the grease a few seconds longer than they should have been. They gyro was sloppy and just had 4 disproportional chunks of lamb in it and the Gyro started to fall apart as I picked it up. Because the Lamb Meat was tougher then a steak at Dollar Tree this caused a very unpleasant eating experience. Mind you this gyro is sloppier than joes made by your local public school lunch lady in the late 80's. Eating here felt like I was doing the owner a favor or something by supporting their business, but other than the food was nothing to make me want to come back for. FOOD GRADE: D- . Atmosphere was giving the vibe of "look at us, we like less than mid tasting food because this spot is hip and its greek and its not chick-fil-a". Listen man, there's a lot of things you can learn from institution as the before mentioned. Upon leaving the restaurant I scanned a QR code and left an immediate review because I was that dis-satisfied with the experiencing. Remember, spending money to eat somewhere when you can and should do it at home is an experience. It's bigger than gyro, its the experience of eating at the only greek spot in town. I was thoroughly disappointed and unimpressed. Maybe your experience will be better....
