Oasis Mediterranean Restaurant
A Middle Eastern restaurant run by a Palestinian family, with everything made in-house and a near-perfect Yelp rating. It's a favorite stop for road-trippers in Gallup who want a change from the local Southwestern and fast-food options.
The restaurant is on Maloney Avenue on the west side of town and is run by a Palestinian family, with the owner working in the restaurant daily. Every dish is made in-house. In Gallup, where Southwestern food and fast food dominate, it's a welcome change of pace, and many Route 66 road-trippers stop in every time they pass through. Popular orders include lamb kebabs, chicken shawarma, a vegetarian platter, and the Oasis Salad. For dessert, try baklava and Turkish coffee. Main dishes come with salad, rice, and pita bread. The decor is simple and prices are reasonable, with a Yelp rating of about 4.8. Open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, with about US$15–25 per person.
