I got a chicken plate with rice and it was better than other places that focus on plating but tell me why I don’t have rice instead of just giving me some.

In Michigan we have way bettter middle eastern food and hospitality but here in Colorado Springs this is pretty good middle eastern food though my rice is better 😉

I thought it was pretty good except for my mushy rice. And I thought it was pretty good because last time when I ordered...

I had the gyro burger and the lamb was the most tender lamb. Literally falls apart and the flavor was epic. My mother had thr chicken kabob plate. The chicken was extremely flavorful but the star of this whole meal was the Turkish Rice. Hands down the best rice I have ever had. Will definitely be taking some home. I will be coming back again! Great place!

A group of 5 coworkers ordered a meal here together and it was awesome! Incredible portions, fast delivery and seriously tasty food. I got the meat lovers platter and I was blown away by the flavor. We have to order from here more often. Thanks to the staff at The Purple Onion!!!
