28 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Denver

“Delicious food! Loved this restaurant when I visited Denver and would definitely come again.“

“A friend who frequently travels to Denver raved about this restaurant, so I was eager to experience it for myself. Upon arrival for brunch, My other friend and I received a warm welcome and prompt seating. Our waitress Erika and her assistant were exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was a true culinary delight . I can’t recommend Rioja enough!“

“This spot is hands down the best value in the area - and their pitas are on another level. The veggies are always fresh, the meat is perfectly seasoned, and those pitas... easily the best this side of the Atlantic.

Family-owned and terrific service“

“very Friendly service, fresh homemade pitas! and the food is impeccable very great tasting big servings, definitely a new dinner spot.“

“Great food and service. Food was thoughtful and beautiful and delicious. JJ took great care of us. Place is good looking with good food!“

“I was surprised with dinner for my Birthday, and you did not disappoint! Not only was everything we tried ( I'm seriously going to dream about the harissa eggplant fries) but the attention to detail and the fresh flavors were out of this world! Additionally, special attention was paid to our food allergies and It was a huge weight off our shoulders to not have to worry about that! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it! We had the harissa eggplant fries, the pork cheeks, the Lebanese garlic dip, the spanakopita, the carne paella, and kept everything off with the chocolate torte! phenomenal food and staff!“

“Such a great happy hour!!!“

“The food is so delicious and the folks there are so friendly…love it, and it’s on my list for repeat dining!“

“Definitely a must try!!!!!!!!!!!! Very authentic mediterranean food with amazing fresh food! The quality is amazing, the owners/staff are so pleasant and helpful! This is definitely a hidden gem! I had never had a gyro with a tortilla but it was amazing! The baklava is also perfect as well! We will definitely be returning! 10/10!!“

“I waited here while my car was being serviced, really enjoyed my time at this cafe. There is a variety of seating available, you can come with a group or just one friend. The counter is self serve so you don’t have to wait for someone to take your order. The breakfast burrito was quite delightful, came with a slice of watermelon as well. Very kind staff members were available and very helpful. Good baklava as well.“

“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.“

“Upset with myself i haven't tried this place sooner. Awesome falafel and toppings. will be trying more of them“

“We went to Shondiz last night for dinner and it was excellent. We were served barley soup (ashe joh) when we first got there and it was the best I ever had. I ordered mast-o-mousir to start and it did not disappoint. My husband ordered zereskh polo with chicken and I had the juheh kebab. Both meals were great. The owner Mohammed came out to talk to us and he was really friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“i love how the proteins are made to order. so it's fresh, juicy and tasty.“

“This is one of my Denver favorites so far. The falafel is so moist and crispy. The lamb kebabs are super delicious and grilled perfectly. The rice is really flavorful with sumac dripped on top of it. The samosas are some of the best I’ve ever had. It reminds me of a slightly higher end and better quality halal truck back east. Its also one of the most reasonably priced restaurants I’ve found since getting here.“

“The meat and falafel here are seriously delicious. I had the Kafta and lamb kebabs and both were outstanding. Super friendly, genuine service and everything tastes authentic. The Lebanese Sambousik rolls are amazing too. Definitely coming back.“

“Can’t wait to go back. Stopped in for lunch.

I got the fattoush salad (their rotisserie chicken I added is fire), my boyfriend got one of the wraps (well balanced, generous in size and phenomenal zaatar fries) and a tahini snickerdoodle.

Simple, tasty and fresh across the board. They don’t skimp on quality. Excited to go back and try anything else, and another cookie flavor ;)“

“My favorite! Amazing food!“

“We loved the buffet options and kabobs are cooked fresh for you. The servers are very welcoming and the atmosphere is casual and friendly.“

“Stopped in on a whim as we first arrived in Denver and absolutely loved it! Great staff and amazing food! Will be back!“

“Our first time there since moving downtown. Very good! We will be back!“

“The food is here is an explosion of flavor in your mouth it’s amazing! My friend and I are from out of town and we were looking around for someplace good to eat and not only did it not disappoint it surpassed expectations! ❤️❤️❤️ If I lived here I would go broke eating there all the time!“

“Hdden Gem Alert: Incredible Shawarma Inside a Convenience Store!

I have to admit—I was skeptical at first. A shawarma restaurant inside a convenience store, with mixed reviews? I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after trying their Chicken Shawarma Plate and Beef kabob Plate, I can confidently say this place blew my mind!

The beef was incredibly juicy, moist, and generously portioned. Both came with yellow rice, crispy fries, and fresh tomato and lettuce chops, making for a hearty meal.Each was around $12.99 . In Colorado, Mediterranean food can be pricey with small portions, but this spot gives you tons of food for the price—definitely a great value! Note: If you need pita bread and hummus, you must order it as a side. Not included with the plate.

I couldn't find any tables or chairs inside(not sure). I ordered online beforehand, which made the experience smooth.Did pickup. The store itself isn’t the fanciest, but don’t let its appearance fool you. If you want to try Mediterranean food without breaking your bank, in this economy, check out this spot.

Would I come again? Yes.
Would I recommend it? Yes“

“We had the most delicious meal from FelFel tonight. Thank you Ishmael!“
