Elko, NV May 2026 We entered the restaurant and the hostess told us to seat ourselves. It is a very uninviting dining room. Concrete floors and about 15 tables. There are many framed pictures along the wall, and some baskets hung as well. The restaurant and bathroom are exceptionally clean. The waitress is very kind and full of personality. Told her I had some food allergies and she seemed to know the menu very well and told me what to stay clear of. I ordered the SHISH TAWOOK and my husband ordered the chicken rolls. After 15 minutes, they came back to the table to tell us that they were out of chicken rolls. So he ordered the same thing as me. The food came out on a wooden board similar to a charcuterie board. There were six small pieces of chicken, and the sides of hummus, rice, and tabbouleh . I ordered a side of pita as well. The chicken was flavored perfectly. However, the chicken was overcooked and dry. The rest of the plate was delicious. The pita was very good as well. We both really enjoyed this meal. The only thing that brings my score down was the overcooked chicken. Otherwise it would have been perfect. This place gets 4.7 stars. I would definitely come back read more

First of all, the food is delicious. We ordered two falafel, an house salad, a lamb kebab and a kofta plate, all dishes are good. Now talk about service, we went at 7:30 pm on a Monday. When we walked in, there was about 5-6 tables at the time, no serving staff, I mean None. We waited about 2min then a server came out the kitchen with a glass of water, she finally sit us in after she gave the water to a customer. Then we have to wait another 10 minutes before we can order food, the food takes pretty long time to come and when they came, there was no salad. Overall the food is good, the price is reasonable, but the service needs to be improved. read more

Food was meh. The whole point of eating there was the Mediterranean experience of course but upon ordering the restaurant was out of more than one thing in our entrees. Very disappointing. Also prices didn't match food quality. Service was ok. Very nicely decorated. Enjoyed ambiance and music choice. read more

Food at the Convention Center during the Cowboy Poetry Gathering HAVE AGAIN: Lamb shawarma was good and we were happy to get some of the last food in the early evening at the Convention Center. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The falafel was too dry, but probably because it was the end of the day. read more

We were really looking forward to a great meal here given all the great reviews. Unfortunately I don't have anything to compliment at all. The Dolmas was hard and relatively flavorless. The pita bread that's supposed to be fresh daily tasted as if it was 2 days old and cost us two dollars each. Everything you see on this plate was dry. The chicken was dry. The hummus was dry. The rice was practically unedible it was so dry. The tabouleh was OK, but the parsley was overpowering. We asked for some olive oil to make it a little easier to eat and was able to get that for $.50 extra. It took a really long time tonight for some reason to come out of the kitchen. We can forgive the lack of ambience, but we are just so bummed about the food. We didn't even eat it all. We couldn't. I personally dislike having to leave reviews like this, but they need to know. read more

We were on a road trip and hungry for lunch. Not a ton of choices, so we were excited to find something that wasn't fast food - and especially glad to find Mediterranean. We wish we were more impressed. The food was unfortunately "meh". The falafel was dry, and the beef and lamb shawarma sandwiches had an odd flavor that neither of the meat eaters enjoyed enough to finish. On the plus side, the hummus was creamy and flavorful, and the pita was pretty good. read more

Food was amazing. As was the service. Portions are large. Definitely recommended while visiting Elko, NV.

Love this place!! Have had the Lamb and Chicken kabobs and dessert each time. The handmade desserts are amazing. I generally do not order a dessert, but these are very special and worth every single calorie. read more

Can't believe a place like this exists in such a small town. The food is fresh, healthy, and full of flavor, and they take gluten-free and celiac needs seriously. Tons of GF and even vegan options, all clearly labeled. Friendly staff, clean space, and honestly a total hidden gem. If you're anywhere nearby, don't miss it. read more

We were really looking forward to this meal based on the reviews, but sadly, we left disappointed and still hungry. I had the lamb kabob, my husband the shish tawook - both the meats, the rice, the hummus, and even the tabbouleh were dry. So dry, in fact, we asked for olive oil just to help it go down. Hopefully it was an off night for them, but man, it was really bad. read more

No no and no. I came here because of the ratings but obviously since it's like the only restaurant of its kind in these neck of the woods, people who are local are gonna love it. But people like myself who are from big cities with world renowned restaurants are not going to like this place. The shawarma was absolutely not edible. Tough as nails meat, to where I couldn't even bite it! I tried 2 bites and spit out both. Just not edible. The chicken skewers are not skewered and are over seasoned and that rice was not it! Soggy, wet, yucky rice. The hummus was thick and dry and some yogurt salad they had was watery and just yuck. Server took forever to check on us to the point where my friend was almost done eating. So I didn't order anything else....but I'm glad I didn't. 2 outa 2 not so good at all meals...I wasn't going for a third! If you love Mediterranean food like REAL Mediterranean food, DO NOT come here. Yuck! I'm so glad I didn't get the $13 piece of cake they had! lol read more

Get the shredded Chicken with rice, fries, pita bread and 3 falafels. Family owned, fresh food, healthy! I'm a very picky eater but I love their food. As a pregnant mom of 2 who craves falafels on a daily basis lol Service is good. Restaurant is clean and cool (bc it's hot here lol) music is cool too. read more

Food was delicious, I will definitely be coming back soon. Nice ambiance and fast and courteous servers.

This place is fantastic!! Quaint little place that fills up quickly. Great staff and fantastic service. I had the Lamb Split Loin Chops which were fantastic!! They are made with spices that come from the Middle East. This dish is also served with four sides: hummus, tabbouleh, rice, and fries. The meat is very tender and so flavorful!! They have 2 types of baklava, walnut and pistachio. I had the pistachio, to go as my meal filled me up, and it was one of the best baklava I've had. If you're ever in Elko this is a must go to place!! read more

From the moment we stepped into Oheh's, the scent of cumin, garlic, and warm bread greeted us like an old friend from across the sea. The bustle of the busy dining room reminded me of a bazaar in Beirut--lively, welcoming, and brimming with anticipation. The wait? Let's call it Mediterranean time. Though the food took longer than expected, the payoff was worth the patience. My falafel sandwich was a well-balanced mosaic of flavor: the chickpea patties crisped to golden perfection, harmonizing beautifully with the tangy crunch of red cabbage. My husband ventured into shawarma territory--and emerged victorious. Tender, spiced chicken folded into pillowy homemade pita, worlds apart from anything pre-packaged. The fries were golden and crisp, a satisfying surprise, while the hummus--though rich and creamy--could have sung just a bit louder with a touch more lemon. Service remained attentive throughout, even amid the crowd. Despite the pace, it's clear this crew takes pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen. Verdict: Oheh's delivers authentic Mediterranean comfort with honest flavors and a hospitable spirit. A few timing tweaks and a lemon wedge more, and it could be perfect. We'll definitely return, next time with a little more time--and maybe room for dessert. read more

Best food in Elko. Great service! Reasonable prices for both food and drinks. Will be back.

Great little secret spot with awesome Mediterranean food. Good variety and fairly priced. Only holdup was they were very busy and only had two waitresses. But it was worth the wait. read more

I am a huge fan of Mediterranean food. I wanted to try a little of a lot of different things so I ordered the Vegetarian Combo and added a side of chicken. Every single thing was exceptional. The hummus was rich and smooth, the baba ghanoush was perfectly smoky and possibly my favorite. The falafel was hot, fresh, and crispy and perfectly seasoned. The service was very friendly and prompt. The place was spotlessly clean. I see why this restaurant gets such high reviews. It deserves them. I will make sure to eat here every time I visit Elko for work. read more

Food was great and so was service until the time I left when a worker was arguing with a customer. Arguing and screaming constantly!!!!!

We came here right before closing on a little daye night and we still received top notch food and service. The restaurant was clean and cutely decorated and the food was fresh and tasty. They also serve alcoholic drinks which is a plus. I plan to try the lamb chops next time. read more

Nothing screams awesomeness when thinking of how great the food tasted last time and being excited to come back and try everything all over again! I had went with a coworker for lunch and this was the name of the place she recommended to me the last visit. We sat as there was plenty of seating. Our waitress was very kind and friendly. The food took a bit to come out and my coworker was getting anxious. I ordered the exact same as my last visit, a Mediterranean salad add chicken and an appetizer of pita and hummus. The portions were enormous (enough for two meals). My only gripe was that it was rushed. So I know this is more of a leisure dinner spot. The waitress was great in terms of explaining why it took a bit and very helpful in helping us set up with leftover containers. We even grabbed desserts. I did an Almond Nougat roll which was amazing. I'll definitely be coming back but note to self to come for dinner to savor the amazing food. read more

We took food out to go while staying overnight in town on a road trip between San Francisco and Idaho. - Falafel: Wow! Seriously, some of the best we've ever had. The outside was extra crispy, and the inside was moist and flavorful. - hummus: The Zohar would be proud! It was freshly made, very thick and had a bright lemon and garlic flavor. - Koftah: Excellent flavor, if a bit overcooked and dry. Loved the tabouleh and saffron rice served with it. - service: a bit slow, but the ladies that handled the front were very friendly and courteous. - atmosphere: It's a somewhat stark inside, but that enables you to focus on your friends and the food. There is a full bar in the restaurant, but we had ordered to go. - Bread: First time I've had Mediterranean where it didn't include the pita. We ordered two plater dinners, but we didn't realize bread was a La carte. Bummer. Overall, I'm going to stretch here and say it's the freshest and healthiest option in Elko. read more

The food and service here were beyond what I expected from a small community like Elko. The prices weren't exorbitant and the ambience was inviting. The food was authentic.

Very good food. Some of the lamb kebab pieces had a bit too much gristle, but the flavor was so good I ate it anyway.

Still the best Mediterranean restaurant in northern Nevada. Great food, friendly service and reasonably priced. I still haven't found a Mediterranean restaurant in Reno with the delicious choices found at Odeh's. read more

Odeh's Mediterranean Restaurant - Shish Tawook - Mediterranean Near Me - Elko, Nevada

My family and I were traveling from Reno to Utah, and stayed the night in Elko. I was looking on yelp for a restaurant, and this popped up as the top rated place, so I was really excited that it was Mediterranean, which I did not have on my radar in the middle of Nevada. The place is very clean, and decorated super cute! There was only one server for the place, but she did a great job keeping up with all the tables. My husband ordered a chicken shawarma pita, my son got the hamburger, and I got the Shish Tawook (chicken with rice, hummus, and tabbouleh). We also got a few pitas on the side (highly recommend). The burger and fries were good, but although they said it was served plain- there was some sort of mayo or sauce on it, so we just tried to scrape as much as we could off. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Both were flavorful and fresh! We will definitely be back here the next time we're in the area! read more

I absolutely loved this restaurant, so much so that I came back the following day to get the beef! I had the chicken plate and they were nice enough to substitute the rice for a salad. The bread was incredible and clearly made fresh in house. I had enough to take home both times for a second meal. I was just visiting for a business trip but I will absolutely be back if I come back to Elko! read more

Food I think was sub par at best and we were the only people in there, two of us and it couldn't have takin any longer if they tried. They did have a couple of to go orders along with ours but you're talking literally 3 orders.

The meal we had was delicious. The servings are generous and we each took food home. Our server was attentive and charming. The noise level increased as the place filled up, but not so loud as to make it unpleasant. Prices are reasonable also. If ever in Elko this is a must. read more

Great place to eat! Something fresh in this high desert. I had the beef Kuba with rice. It was really amazing. Had to ask for extra water and the paychecks got messy and music didn't match the vibe but probably the best place to eat in Elko. read more

Fresh clean food. Quick service. Ordered Shish Tawook, which was grilled chicken and rice. Yummy!

My husband and I have been here several times and it is pretty consistent. Small dining room and everything is made fresh to order. I always order the Arabic mint iced tea which is so refreshing. The Falafel platter with beef is my go to but the Shish Tawook is also great. Their food and presentation appeals to the senses. An amazing little restaurant in Elko and a must try! We've only had one experience with bad service but they were extremely busy and the girls were young so they get a pass! read more

I'm staying in Elko for one night, and decided to come check out this restaurant. Clean, nice decor. Surprisingly busy for a Thursday eve. Good sign. Staff was busy but they were very nice. I was tired so I took it to the hotel. Kuba (kind of like a football shaped samosa) : crispy on the outside, juicy inside... they were very salty though. Hummus and tabouli were delicious. No wonder they have amazing reviews! read more
