The gyro I got was very meh. Too many tomatoes and cucumbers. The fries I got were absolutely horrible. They were tough and chewy. They tasted like they already cooked them, had them sitting around for 2 hrs, then reheated them in the microwave.

I found this place to be highly overrated and unfortunately disappointing. Employees were nice but, The dishes lacked flavor — the baba ghanouj was bland, the salad tasted like unseasoned wet vegetables, and the falafel was small. The pita bread was stale and crumbled apart when used as a wrap. The hummus was barely noticeable, and the gyro, while somewhat acceptable, still missed the mark. I drove 40 minutes hoping for an authentic Mediterranean experience but left thoroughly disappointed.

I play my ukulele and sing in the area for tips, and a nice lady saw me taking a break and asked me if I would play for her, and I quickly had my instrument out and started playing as she ate. I love to just add color and entertainment to an otherwise bland world and will always play if it makes anyone happy, regardless of if I am being tipped or not. She finished up and was very grateful and then surprised me by saying she wanted to buy me dinner! I hadn't yet had dinner and was thankful for the gesture and she asked if I liked this place, and being totally clueless about falafel or any of the food they served I was just excited to try out something I'd not have ever spent my money on otherwise...
And boy did she spoil me. On top of me wanting to try a gyro, she just started adding different things to the order, telling me I had to try it or instructing me on how to eat it. It was so cool, and in the end I wound up with a whole variety of foods to try. I thanked her for the hundredth time and she paid and left me to begin my journey into a whole world of flavors I never had experienced before. The gyro was absolutely phenomenal but then I delved into the things she insisted I try. I was in a whole other world of flavor and had the staff answering all my questions about what was what. Turns out I had been given stuffed grape leaves, (amazing). Some sort of eggplant salsa looking stuff with pita bread that was truly awesome. Falafel, which I didn't know was so damn good, and then, this strange small square of yellow flakey crust filled with what appeared to be bright green herbs... And this was the item that blew my mind. It was apparently baklava and one of the most decadent and delicious desserts I've ever had in my life. How it's so delicious I can't seem to understand but I will say that if you do not treat yourself to one of these you have failed miserably.
I walked away from this experience totally enamored with a entirely new culture of food and I cannot thank her enough for being so kind and generous. I must say if you are at all interested in a new culinary experience or if you are already a fan of middle Eastern food you must stop in and treat yourself. It was an experience I'll cherish forever.

Got the chicken gyro wrap and it was ok. Meat was a little dry and the wrap was very runny. I got olives on the side and bit into one of them and discovered they still had the pit to my surprise. Why would a restaurant serve olives with pits in 2025??

Some great gluten free options! The fryer, fries, and falafel are all gluten free and the falafel was truly delicious! They offer a gluten free pita/wrap and you can get most meats except the gyro.

Best Falafel I have had in a long time. Made with attention to detail. Super friendly staff. Greeted by the owner when we walk in, super helpful finding the right dish for my Vegan husband - many options. Also have incredible meat options.

Chose this menu over many options available on the strip because was advertised as a drink and side combo. $15 later I had a small pita wrap called chicken Shaorma that was tasteless, had no pickled vegetables as it should of called Shaorma or any sauce. I was hungry one hour later.The wrap needs to be lavash bread and the spread must be richer. The gyros loooked oily , rancid, old. The kitchen was not clean.The meats were cooked together!

The best falafels ever. First time I had them was in the early 1980s as a kid. I have compared all others to them. It wasn’t until 2023 that I had a chance to return to Boulder. We returned again this year and both times the food and service were outstanding.
It was my first time visiting Boulder when I wandered in for lunch and was blown away by the hospitality and kindness of the owner and the entire staff. Avner let me taste several options before deciding on the gyro beef and lamb, baba ghanouish and salad. The food is stellar but it’s the warmth of the people that will endure I visit again on my next work trip.! Avner, awesome to meet you and I can’t wait to bring my husband in with me next time! :)

Great little place. He has been there over 40 yrs. The owner was great, gave us samples of a falafel and gyro. The gyro I had was great. Lots of meat fixed nicely on a pita bread. Would definitely recommend.

We saw the queues outside and so gave it a go. Not disappointed. Very good staff working like clockwork as we made our way along the conveyor belt line. Portions a little on the small side perhaps but v tasty

Dirty. Served burned ends of gyro. Waited a long time on line and was 3rd in line! Expensive for what I got.

Its falafel wraps were always mediocre, but I regularly went there at times anyways. However, their placement of an Israeli flag outside the place was the end. I could never go back again with a clean conscience.
