Good road trip stop - Edit
2024 update: The falafel is still good. It seems there is more awareness here about vegan preparation now, so the comments about that in our earlier review may not be relevant these days.
Read moreDelicious felafel and hummus. Do enquire carefully about which items are vegan, as during our visit the kind person at the counter wasn’t sure, so it might be necessary to have them ask the cook. We were told that the tahini contains dairy, so in our felafel we substituted hot sauce for tahini and it was very satisfying.

Favorite place to eat in Gallup! - Edit
Gallup generally doesn’t have many options, so I always look forward to eating at Oasis because it’s actually good lol.
Read moreThey have a variety of options and the prices are really reasonable.
It’s always very clean here too which is kind of rare for Gallup haha.
The staff is also very friendly as well which is a nice bonus.
Pros: Variety, Delicious, Fast and friendly service
Cons: Vegan options are not labeled as such

Indeed an Oasis - Edit
Stopped in for a quick lunch on my way back from a work trip to rural NM and had the veggie platter. Great hummus, baba ghanoush, and salad. The falafel and stuffed grape leaves were fine but nothing to write home about. But very clean, open, good customer service. An Oasis off I40.

Best Mediterranean food in all the 4-corners region - Edit
We stop here anytime we drive though Gallup. I am glad this place survived the pandemic. The food is the best Mediterranean food in all the 4-corners region! I indulged in the Foul (Fa'ool) dip with warm pitas, and had the best falafel ever (next time I'll try the falafel sandwich). It's crisp on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. Yum! Hubby's favorite is the salad with spicy chicken. We treated ourselves to baklava this time. Sweet and satisfying. A friendly spot to eat with short wait times. For us, a place where a vegan and a carnivore can both get good food is a special place.
Read morePros: Many vegan and vegetarian options, Delicious hummus, Friendly front staff
Cons: Pita isn't gluten-free (but it's very good), Food can be spicy

Great find! - Edit
The vegetarian plate is to die for! Every single thing on there was the best. Even the pita bread is better than any I’ve had. If you are passing through Gallup this is the place to go.

Really delicious vegan options - Edit
The service is so friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. We tried the lentil soup, foul (fava bean dip), and vegetarian platter. So good! Possibly the best falafel texture I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, moist inside. The stuffed grape leaves are so flavorful, and the hummus was the creamiest. Loved the smoky baba ghanoush too, and the tabouli is bright and fresh. If you can fit it in, try both baklava options and the Turkish coffee! Not exactly like Turkish coffee from Turkey, but I enjoyed the subtle notes of cardamom. Everything was great.

Great food at a reasonable price - Edit
Mediterranean food w/ many vegan options.
Read moreEclectic atmosphere, music, and excellent service. Too bad we are traveling, as I would definitely be a regular here. We had the lentil soup, vegetarian platter, w/pita bread, and baklava...all vegan. Can request no olive oil for a healthier, less calorie option.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very reasonable prices

Tasty Food & Friendly Staff - Edit
We ordered the Foul (fave bean) appetizer…so good fave bean dip. The vegetarian plates look deceptive light looking but they were filling.
Read moreNote: the vegan baklava sells out early but I had a dessert that subbed nuts for cheese and it was a lovely cinnamon nut pancake and a wonderful alternative! Just tell them you’d like a vegan dessert alternative.
Five Stars. I loved their falafels which were fresh, moist and melt in your mouth delicious- amazing with hummus!
Pros: Good vegan choices, Amazing appetizers, plates and deserts , Friendly staff, atmosphere and locals love it
Cons: None at all.

5 star food & service - Edit
We were passing through Gallup and came here for dinner. The lentil soup is wonderful and you get a large bowl for a good price. Pita bread comes with it. The hummus is delicious - super smooth and creamy. The falafel sandwich was very good and even better with the hummus. The baklava was heavenly. The best I have ever had. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can tell that they really care. Wonderful meal!

So glad we stopped - Edit
What a great find! A bit off the main highway, but well worth it. The Vegetarian Platter was fully vegan. Falafel, hummus, salad, and pita bread made the perfect lunch. Other vegan options on the menu. If you're in Gallup, give it a try.

Tried to give 5 stars! - Edit
The best Mediterranean food I've ever put in my mouth. Much of the menu is vegan. I had the veg plate (two falafel, two grape leaves, hummus, baba ganoush, and salad), my husband had the falafel sandwich, and we split an order of foul. We even finished off with baklava. The cinnamon Walnut baklava was like if traditional baklava and a cinnamon roll had a love child. I only wish we lived closer so that we could eat here regularly.

HAPPY Dance - Edit
We have driven through Gallup many times in the past two years. Never thought about looking on Happy Cow for places to eat. Shame on us! Luckily today we decided to be look and found this delightful eating experience. DO NOT JUDGE BY OUTER APPEARANCE. Inside is clean. Just be aware that GPS might get you a little off course if you aren’t looking for sign.
Read moreEverything homemade in this family owned restaurant. It is the best deal on our entire trip between Colorado and Arizona. We ordered hummus (like butter), lentil soup (yummy), six falafels (made just right), plus soda drink. Bill was under $21 including tax and staff is very polite. We will be back!

A literal oasis in the desert - Edit
A road trip dream come true for veggie folks! On the long drive between the Grand Canyon and Santa Fe, a fresh, healthy meal did wonders. This is an absolute veggie gem in the desert. We had a delicious fattoush salad, falafel sandwich, and vegetarian platter with dolma, hummus and more. All quite good, and very fairly priced.

Vegan Oasis in Gallup! - Edit
Okay, so it’s not totally Vegan or Vegetarian and yes, they serve meat. As a Vegan, I ignore all that and simply look at what food options do they have to satisfy my Vegan hunger. They did not disappoint! Their Vegetable Plate was wonderful! Perfectly made Hummus. Excellent Falafel, the best Baba Ghanouj I ever had and a delicious salad. The pita made everything just right! The service was excellent too with Josh! If you’re anywhere near Gallup, NM in your travels across I-40, make sure you stop here. You won’t regret it!
