“Top notch lamb shank. When it got to the table I thought to myself “How am I gonna eat this thing without a knife?” Then I sliced through it like butter with my fork. One of the best meals I’ve eaten in a long time. My only regret is that I’m not in Aurora longer so I could make more visits to this restaurant.“
“We came here on a not-so-busy day and were greeted like royalty. The team catered to our needs and served a meal like none I've ever tasted. We had the lentil soup and falafel for starters, to which mere words can not describe the delight on my taste buds. We closed the meals out with the chicken kabobs and rice, which I can not liken to any other way I've eaten chicken. This place is a gem everyone should add to their "must-go" list!“
“Great food and all, but when is this place open?? We've tried being regulars here but the days they're open seems to be erratic. They were closed 04/06 Saturday for lunch, and we tried again 04/07 and still closed. I hope everything's alright?“
“I'm 41 yrs old. I've been going here since I was studying back in college 20yrs now. Best place I've ever found for this delicious food. The owner is wonderful, very attentive and is like seeing an old friend ever time I go in even if it's been a yr or two since I've gone (have moved 40min away). I just love this place and honestly it holds a special place in my heart after all these years. Thank you“
“Ordered a few family meals for a birthday party because it's one of my husband's favorite restaurant. I'm in the industry, I know how hard large orders are. The food was amazing. The staff was friendly and kind. Well done team!“
“Hands down, the best Greek food I’ve eaten in my entire life. Went there on a whim with my family members who converged in Denver from all across the country.The food, service and ambience was perfect. Prices seemed reasonable.Icing on the cake was the staff. They were so friendly and accommodating.And DO NOT leave without trying the Baklava Ice Cream. You can thank me later.“
“Ok so everything was good but the side salad alone was worth this review of 5 stars. Ordered the gyro plate which was flavorful and nicely decorated but the salad blew me away considering this is a Mediterranean joint… Instead of plain iceberg lettuce, a couple toms and cucs, this side salad had SPINACH, mixed greens, a HANDFUL of blueberries, strawberries, and a lovely creamy sweet mayo-based dressing. Was such a nice touch to the overall flavor experience. Would do again“
“Came with a large group and we were all well fed and taken care of. Delicious food and friendly service.Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap, grape leaves, sambosas, lentil soupDietary restrictions: Had vegetarian and gluten free diets in our group and everyone had multiple options to eat and enjoy.“
“So I've been here a few times, the first being a pretty mediocre experience, but every subsequent experience here has been GREAT! Having said that, if you were like me and had a bad first time, be willing to give them another shot.The iskendar kebab is what I'm hooked on here, which is amazing! The dolma are kinda lacking in flavor (not much acidity or citrus-y flavor), and not impressed by the falafel either. But the iskendar kebab, that's why you come here, that's why you live, that's what it's all for!“
“Allhumdulliuh Amazing Food ! As a an Arab and as a Muslim I want to say Thank-you The food is Halal and clean. It’s just a well rounded family restaurant. As a Saudi I love the Lamb Kabsah! Authentic Saj bread and good shawarma ! Fresh toum and loving people. My only problem is why is there only one restaurant? Stay in Denver and spread ! People will come no matter where, your food is Authentic and stays true to us Arabs !Thank-you again. ❤️إن شاء الله تتضاعف ثروتك وصحتك“
“Mmm mmm! Absolutely delicious meats. Every bite was tender and juicy and full of flavor. Very welcoming and authentic environment. A passionate owner and very dedicated push towards authenticity. Veggie soup was delicious and had some chickpeas which was a great addition. The triple kabob combo was perfect. A great gem in this area if you are craving kabab. Highly recommend you come check it out.Only suggestions I'd give would be to add some seasoning to the fries and also maybe include some type of sauce with the meats on the side, maybe a little cup of tahini/garlic sauce.Looking forward to visiting again.“
“Service was good, attentive without being hovering. It felt like they might have been a tiny bit short staffed but we generally weren't waiting around and staff was friendly and explained dishes.Main courses were very good, decently spiced and plenty generous (we each had one of the combo entrees). Pita was hot and fresh.I got some baklava for dessert and it was surprisingly disappointing. I have made my own baklava (and it is not easy) and I've had it from many other places but this was dead last on any of them. For a Lebanese place I expected great baklava and this was an unfortunate negative surprise. So overall 4 stars.“
“Fresh and tasty falafel in a pita. Try it with amba sauce! The dining room is open for business.Vegetarian options: Vegan options include falafel sandwiches, fries, pita nachos, etc. Sabich could be vegan if omitting the boiled egg. No dairy on premises.Dietary restrictions: Mordy's is strictly kosher, under the supervision of the Scroll-K.“
“My kids and I love this place. Kids friendly, family friendly, amazing food and great hospitality, and amazing service. My kids love this place because they always get treats. We eat here almost every week. Also the price is great for the quality of the food. Allahuma Barak!“
“Saturday night takeout sharing the Meat lovers platter with a side of stuffed grape leaves. The kabobs were beautifully done, and not overdone. We’ve been to Turkey before and this place is legit- right down to the silky hummus and quiet pickled veggies scattered throughout the yellow rice.“

“We came to eat on the spur of the moment and are very happy we chose Shondiz. There was a party of 30 right before us but the staff quickly helped us and our meals were not delayed. I recommend the Koobideh kabob and yogurt. The rice was delicious with saffron. Also, the chicken kabob was very tender. Staff was great too!“
“Also is absolutely delicious. My wife and I got the chicken pita and the veal pita. Both were delicious but we preferred the veal, it had more juiciness flavors. Although it is a bit more expensive for the kosher stuff, if you love a good pita wrap, it's worth it. Also their hummus is delicious, suuuuper creamy and yummy.“
“My first time eating here and Ioved it! The recommended soup was amazing and the Lamb Shank lived up to its reputation! The hospitality was second to none. Very welcoming and gracious as I asked questions about everything! The meal was topped with a new favorite ice cream! Definitely will be back again!! Great job!!“
“Our flight got delayed at night and we got to the halal guys at 10:23 when they were closing at 10:30 to place an order. We were so apologetic but grateful to Ivan who was the best!!! So sweet and told us not to worry about it and did not make us feel bad/rushed/unwelcome. Thank you again Ivan you rock!!!!“
“Been coming here for years, classic take-out location since they're open late into the AM, but they've recently renovated the interior as well, and with more space they are able to give it more of a sit-down restraunt experience. The new cashiers are super friendly!“
“I’ve been eating at Jerusalems since I moved to Denver in 2011. I can safely say it’s still my favorite spot in Denver. The Shish Kabob Plate has been bringing me joy for 14 years and I’ll never change my order. If you’re going for Dessert, the Koulage is the way to go. It’s great heated or cold. Support this restaurant, as they are one of the last few older spots that has been taken over by Denver’s influx of lackluster rich people. Long live Jerusalems!“
“An amazing restraint with an amazing owner. The food is cooked to perfection, I would highly recommend visiting this place in person. There are very few Syrian restaurants here and this place has got it down. It’s very conveniently located and the people around the restaurant are very nice as well. Highly recommend.“
