We were passing through Albuquerque, on a road trip and were craving Indian food for dinner. We…read morewere so glad they offered delivery through DoorDash. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The dal tadka tasted freshly prepared, and they perfectly followed my special request to make it mild and without any red or green chilies. The only issue was that we received Chicken Tikka Masala instead of the Paneer Tikka Masala we had ordered. Aside from that mix-up, everything was absolutely delicious and worth every bite. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and will definitely order from them again the next time we're in Albuquerque.

This has got to be the WORST Indian food I've ever ordered…read more The tandoori chicken was dry and had no seasoning. Came with 2 slices of onion and a lemon wedge. THE PLAIN WHITE RICE HAD MORE FLAVOR THAN THE CHICKEN!!! This is the worst food I've had in Albuquerque since moving here 6 months ago. Seriously. And that's a new low. I'd rather eat at red lobster and throw up after eating their " food" ... again, than eat here....

I have not had Afghan food before, so I had no idea what I would get, but based on my friends' comments, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I was warmly greeted at the counter where I ordered. Bill answered my questions, and I made my selections, including two kebabs, a salad, bread, and samosa. The dishes come with dipping sauces that are very flavorful with a garlic forward presentation. The meat was tender and delicious, with perfect seasoning. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely and calming so I enjoyed that quite a lot. I am looking forward to returning here for a healthful delicious meal. Enjoy!

The place has ample room for multiple people and the decor seemed nice. The music was quite delightful. Our server was one of the most polite servers we have ever had. Even though we were two of four people, our food was slow to come out. But the wait was worth it. We ordered the special Kurdish bread covered in butter and filled with green onions. The hubby ordered the chicken breast kabob with south of the border chicken. I got the boneless lamb kabob. With our orders came a surprise Kurdish soup with lentils, fideos, and Kurdish spices. First, the bread and soups were simple yet familiar, powerful, and delicious. The lamb was tender, well seasoned, and delightful. Now, the south of the border chicken breast was an amazing surprise; it was juicy, tender, a bit spicy, and absolutely perfect. The rice was another great example of simplicity and beauty. Overall, this was a new great spot for good food and service. The dishes look simple, but don't be deceived, as you will find a ton of great flavors.

I ordered the grilled chicken plate with yellow rice, hummus, pita, falafel, and a side salad. The chicken was juicy and paired perfectly with the seasoned rice. The hummus was super smooth and creamy, and the pita was warm and soft. The falafel had a nice crisp outside with a flavorful center. Even the simple salad tasted fresh and balanced out the plate nicely. Overall the portion size was generous and the flavors were spot on. For carryout, the quality held up really well and everything tasted fresh. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving Mediterranean food.

Finding the Ghengis Grill had closed, we headed across the parking lot to Pars. It had been on my…read morewife's wish list so this was a great opportunity to have the whole family try it. We arrived a few minutes after noon on a Saturday and were promptly seated. Our waitress took drink orders and returned to answer our questions and take our orders. We had a lamb gyro, lamb kebab and my daughter ordered a plate with a sweet rice, falafel, hummus and a Mediterranean salad. Everyone was more than pleased with the flavors of their dish. We shared tastes around. I found the rice interesting, but prefer more savory when accompaniment to an entree. The marinated lamb for the kebab was outstanding and the meat cooked perfectly. I even tried the hummus which to my surprise was very good. I do not as a rule enjoy chick peas, but this mix was delightful. The restaurant itself carried the desired theme, even offering traditional low seating for those who wish that feeling. Solid five stars. I'd give extra to the wait staff for how they dealt with the chronic complainer at the next table, if Yelp would allow that extra. If you're looking for outstanding Mediterranean cuisine, give Pars a try.

If you have been reading my other reviews on yelp or Google you know my philosophy is that…read moresometimes you go to a restaurant and the food isn't that great or maybe it's awful. It a situation like that, barring getting ill or having the meal be too expensive, I always say, give it another try. Cooks and Chefs have bad days/nights just like all of us. So if you can, try giving the place a second chance. However, if the wait staff is bad. They ignore you, they're rude, or if they are mean there's really no reason to go back. Those people represent the customer facing side of business and if they don't care, what does that say about the rest of the place? I can already hear some of you saying hey, they have bad days too. You're right but in sales (I've been there) you have to work it out one way or another. It can suck but whether you feel it or not you are an extremely important cog in that machine. Well, let me tell you at Royal Hyderabad on Juan Tabo, every single time I go there they care about the food and experience. They are fantastic start to end. The last time I went I got there very early to pick up my food. They offered me a seat, brought me tea, and the woman at the front struck up a conversation with me. It was friendly, nice, and in my experience of the wonderful culture. About 15 minutes later my food was ready. The woman handed me the bag. She looked at her watch, then the bag. I took the bag thanked her and wished her a good evening. I walked out the door smiling to the other customers. I was outside when it hit me that I was WAY too early pick up my food and there were several other people in line. How could they finish my food so quickly? I stopped turned around, and the woman came running outside and asked me if I could just come with her inside and wait. She noticed my name remembered who I was on. The phone asked me if I was told my food was going to take a while and she said she wanted to check my bag just to be on the safe side. She didn't think the kitchen was running that fast. Well, she was right. I had a different order and the people in the back had just made a mistake. It was just a simple miscommunication, but instead of letting me leave, she came all the way outside as I was walking to the parking lot she stopped me, asked me to come back in and helped me. She then immediately went to the back, explained what it happened and one of the chef said he would make it right and he did he had my food out in just a couple of minutes. Was recognized the person there cared enough to come get me they thanked me. They admitted to a simple mistake. They fixed the problem. Everybody was smiling at the end, and all the other customers got to see it and quite frankly, they looked impressed because they all probably know how many times they've walked out of a restaurant with an incomplete or incorrect order and nobody cared. As I have likely said before, try Royal Hyderabad on Juan Tabo. Remember that if you can't handle hot food and I mean well beyond New Mexico hot food try medium or mild. The food is delicious and I've never ever not enjoyed anything that I've tried. And the people who work there seem to really care about their clientele and treat them so nice.

The tandoori chicken especially had an amazing smoky flavor and looked awesome coming out still sizzling at the table. The portions were generous and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The menu has a lot of authentic South Indian options, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Albuquerque definitely needed a spot like this, and I can see why so many people recommend it for Indian food in town. A couple small things I think could make the experience even better: the drink selection was pretty limited since they only offered Coke, water, and juice. It would be nice to see more variety. Also, they had music playing in the restaurant, but it was so low you could barely hear it, so the atmosphere could feel a little more lively with the volume turned up. If that changed I'd give them a five star. Overall though, the food and service were both great and I'd definitely come back!
