My wife and I travel frequently within the USA. We like all kinds of food but my favorite by far is Mediterranean food. I have sampled Mediterranean all across Canada and the US. We have had food from many different countries around the Mediterranean and like all restaurants some are good and some not so good. Sara's is perhaps the best I have eaten anywhere. For starts the service, our server Josh was excellent. He was courteous, he was attentive and asked all the right questions. We ordered a combination appetizer tray, lentil soup, a tabouleh salad and an entrée. The appetizer came out with hot pita which was excellent. Both the lentil soup and the tabouleh salad were among the best I have ever had. The baba ganoush, the falafels and the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) were all three among the best I have ever had. Often fried falafels are coarse and dry but these were moist, tender and flavorful. The tahini dipping sauce was excellent as well. My wife's combination kafta (chicken and beef) came with the supreme rice which was also excellent. The ambience was very clean and modern as was the music fascinating and lively. Across the board, everything was excellent. We chatted a good bit with one of the owners who told us that all the cuisine represented generations of family recipes. All this, in what I consider one of the least likely of places; Roswell, New Mexico. If you are in Roswell and you like good food, Sara's is a can't miss restaurant. Bravo, Sara's. read more

Sara's boasts some insanely high online ratings, one of the top-rated restaurants on the entirety of Highway 70 between Phoenix and the Atlantic Ocean. As I traversed this lengthy highway from beginning to end, I knew Sara's was a must-see! Is it delicious? Yes! It's very good! The hummus appetizer with chicken shawarma is fabulous. You could make an entire meal out of it. The lamb is okay, but the bed of rice that accompanies the lamb is very, very good. Have I had better Mediterranean food in other cities and even in the Mediterranean? Absolutely! But for the little town of Roswell, this is pretty impressive cuisine and an excellent choice for dinner! read more

Stopped in for dinner while in town, was greeted walking in and told to sit where we like, grabbed a booth and our server brought us menus. An older interior, was maybe an old pizzahut or similar building before. We started with hummus and pita, served traditionally. It was simple and good, freshly made with olive oil dizzle on top and paprika. After looking over the menu, I opted for the Falafel bowl with rice and veggies and it was so good and tasty. The falafels were fresh made, and sliced in half. A large bowl, with a generous serving of rice in the bottom, then loaded cucumber, tomato, green pepper, and greens on one side and warm falafels on the other. It was a simple, healthy and delicious meal. Nothing fancy, just very good food with a kind staff. 4 Stars a solid eatery and good service definitely worth a visit and your support 01158 read more

I was here for the CAA race and I was looking for something that was different and this restaurant caught my attention. When I looked at the reviews, it solidified my decision. I ordered their salad and lentil soup. Both items were amazing in flavor and very well done. The service was good and even when I asked to be moved because the AC was hitting me directly he moved me without any problems. The ambiance or restaurant is very spacious and clean. If you are in the area and wonder what to that is different? Now you know where to go! read more

What an unexpected dinner. We were hunting for aliens and ended up in Roswell. When we started getting desperate and hungry for food we looked up a bunch of restaurants and none of them really caught our attention until we saw Sara's. It looked the most delicious and healthy at the same time. We were greeted by a philipino man that was so darn kind. He was customer service times 1000. He made the experience amazing. Once the food came and we took our first bite, we knew we made the right decision. Sooo glad we found this chill Mediterranean place. read more

Very nice place very clean. The waiter went out of his way to make sure that we were happy. The food was absolutely delicious and there was so much of it. We brought some of it home. I absolutely recommend this place five stars for service for food for cleanliness just excellent. read more

Having the same name spelled the same way was what really intrigued me to pay them a visit. Also the Mediterranean cuisine too... The restaurant is very unassuming being attached to a motel but the decor is simple and clean. Reminds me that it might have been a breakfast joint at some point cuz of the way the booth/table was set up. We tried many things, the eggplant and the falafel appetizers were amazing and oh so tasty. We ordered the lamb shank, the lamb pan, the beef kofta wrap and the chicken shawarma bowl. Everything was well seasoned and meats were tender. Highly recommend if you're in town chasing some aliens, to come here and give them a try. The service was attentive and friendly! read more

Food was delicious and staff very friendly. I had the vegetarian wrap and my husband had the chicken shawarma wrap. The Mediterranean salad was crisp and fresh and the lentil soup hot and very tasty especially with the crunchy pita croutons. We asked for chili sauce which they make to order and it was fantastic!! Definitely took the food to another level. read more

Seated quickly with friendly server, but the food left a lot to be desired. Most disappointing was the rice, which seems like it'd be the heart and pride of any Mediterranean restaurant... This stuff tasted straight out of a Knorr's chicken flavor rice packet from Walmart. Super salty bouillon bomb. The hummus was fresh and tasted great - strongly recommend - but you'll need an extra order of pita bread because they don't give you anywhere near enough compared to the serving of hummus. For entree, we both preferred the chicken kabob over beef. For dessert, I spat out the baklava (we tried both pistachio and walnut). Future diners might be served well by ordering the shawarma wrap, but avoid the rice, and skip dessert. read more

Stopped in earlier an grabbed a couple of gyro wraps or what I would call a gyro. This is not a Greek place but a Mediterranean place. I didn't realize there was a difference(I apologize for tht). The pita was very soft and pliable. The meat was cut in nice sized squares with plenty of it. The twist for me was grilled onion which added a nice flavor. Along with tomato and tzatziki sauce. The wrap comes with your choice of fries, salad or soup. It was lentil soup. Opted for fries and a side of rice. The rice had an awesome flavor. Not sure what it was, but it was mighty taste. Best part it was about a mile from where we are staying. The ambiance was defiantly Mediterranean. Very reasonable pricing as well. Great choice for this evening. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by someone who served in the Air Force in turkey for many years. He said it was the most authentic Mediterranean food he had tasted since he left. I have an extensive family background with Persian food, so I am no novice to the flavors of the region. My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised This restaurant has a wide range of options, including vegan meals. Everything was delicious. Everyone was very friendly. I can tell they are in the process of doing upgrades to the interior. It was pleasant, but not particularly Mediterranean. We have subsequently had friends go there who were also very pleased. When I have mentioned it to other people, those who have been there, rave about it. I don't think you will be disappointed if you have any interest in mediterranean food. read more

I'd like to say Sarah's Café and Grill is good if it were a food truck. Most every Middle Eastern restaurant I've been into serves lamb chops. They do not. It's a very limited menu and I believe a bit overpriced. If you order a dinner for instance, one chicken kebab skewer with rice(that's all you get) is almost $20, if you want extra sauce oh, that'll cost you extra sir. Would you like the house specialty rice sir? that's also an up charge. Order the hummus and they give you one pita if you want more than that that'll be an up charge - Up charge city. The mint tea? add some fresh mint please. read more

Sara's is a surprising spot. Me and my girlfriend were passing through and saw this place had some of the best reviews in the area. After trying it, we understood why. The staff were friendly and the food was quite delicious. They even have wacky alien themed drinks. Which, to our surprise, were not just a gimmick. They actually tasted good! If you're in the area, definitely recommend stopping to get a bite here. You won't regret it. Oh! And don't forget to get a selfie with the wooden alien statues right next to their parking lot. read more

03/17/26- I could only stomach eating there once because the Gyro I had was disgusting. Cold and chewy pita, no lettuce, meat tasted like it was frozen and then microwaved! I have had Gyros from Greek family owned places and this was an insult to them. I'll add the service sucked also. read more

We had a lovely dinner of chicken kabobs, rice, and pita bread. The waiter was very patient and very kind. I would recommend trying this restaurant. read more

Very friendly staff, the food is amazing, the decor is nothing fancy, but it doesn't need to be when the food speaks for itself. We live their Supreme Rice, Chicken Shawarma, & their Ice Cream. So glad Roswell has Mediterranean food. read more

I can't say much about the other dishes but their Gyro plate is nasty! The sauce had no flavor, the meat tasted like something pre-sliced and froze. All in all a horrible made dish. My Greek friends would b shocked. read more

It was a really good meal ! I am so happy Roswell has a mediterranean restaurant!!! Everyone was nice: the hostess and the 2 servers that helped us. The restaurant is in an older building but it is clean. We were definitely full when we left. We started with the cheese Fatayer. Then, I had the gyro. They were generous with the tzatziki sauce. Beware... this is a wrap/sandwich that drips. The meat and onions were perfectly cooked. My husband had the lamb shank and the meat was tender. Generous portions !! If you love med cuisine do not skip this place ! read more

If you told me five years ago that there would be an amazing Mediterranean cuisine restaurant in Roswell in the future I'd thought you might have crash landed here in 1947 ... Well there is! Sara's is a winner for the lamb, falafel and hummus are excellent! Service is solid, northern Roswell location is convenient for those of us driving in from Albuquerque or Santa Fe and the price is right. read more

LISTEN. If you're considering eating here, DO IT. just come. The staff members were so warm and friendly and welcoming, the ambiance/music was beautiful, and the FOOD... The food was so good, I couldn't stop shimmying in my seat.

Another lucky choice from Yelp. Driving through Roswell on the way to DFW, and looking for a place to eat, we stopped for a late lunch at Sara's Mediterranean Cafe & Grill. It was conveniently located on Main Street and easy to find. The Kabob combo plate was delicious and well priced. And the service was friendly. Full and happy, we drove on, skipping the UFOs. read more

I was passing through Roswell and was craving a gyro and found this spot on Yelp. The place was very clean inside and the gyro sandwich was awesome! It came with fries or a salad but i asked for salad and wow the salad was bomb. Could have ate a whole plate of salad ! I can't wait to go back through and try some other things on the menu. Menu has pictures so thats nice and everything on it looked amazing. This will really hit the spot if you are craving mediterranean food.

Went in for lunch and were greeted warmly and seated right away. The server was professional and it was obvious he wanted us to have a great meal. He answered our questions and suggested options to make sure we got what we wanted. Our meal was a baba ghanoush appetizer and a chicken shawarma bowl. The baba was very lemon-forward, to the point that it was difficult to taste the eggplant at all. Now this is the cook's choice, and I respect that, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Our chicken shawarma had plenty of meat, but the chicken was dry and salty. Without the rice and cucumbers to cut the saltiness and add some moisture, it would have been difficult to eat. All kitchens can have an off day now and then, and we might have caught them on an off day. read more

Being from rural New Mexico, I'm not very familiar with Mediterranean cuisine. However, today on the recommendation of a couple of friends who live in Roswell, I went for a late lunch at Sara's Cafe to broaden my culinary horizons. I'm grateful to my friends for their recommendations because it was a very pleasant experience. The service I received from my server Cameron was outstanding, and my meal was delicious. With guidance from Cameron, I ordered an appetizer sampler. It consisted of falafel, grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush, tahini sauce, and pita bread, This was my first time having falafel and baba ghanoush, and I thought Sara's grape leaves were better than those that I've had in Greek restaurants in larger cities in the past. I can't think of anything that could've made my experience better. The restaurant was clean with a pleasant atmosphere, the service was attentive and gracious, and the food was terrific. What more could I ask for? For anyone visiting Roswell, I enthusiastically recommend Sara's Café. read more

I was pretty disappointed. The chicken sharwma was like day only cat food and they charge for everything. The ice tea tastes like it was made with salt water. I heard good things about this place not sure if it's under new management but 20 out of 10, I will never be back. read more

Probably the best Mediterranean food in all of New Mexico, for a city renown for aliens this place was certainly out of this world. Kindest people ever and even the manager came to greet us (maybe because we were in awe with how wonderful the food was). Super neat place and clean interior, with great photos of the food all around that actually match what you get! By far the best restaurant I could ask for in a desert town, truly an oasis. read more
