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.“

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

“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!“

“My favorite! Amazing food!“

“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.“

“Holy bananas - soooo I moved to Denver after 12 years in Chicago so I’ve been spoiled with good food for a long time. That being said, Denver has disappointed me in terms of killer cuisine no matter how cheap or how expensive - I’ve had a mid experience everywhere no matter the neighborhood.

First time today at Sonny’s and WOW. Huge falafel sammie, smokey baba ghanoush, so many freaking amazing sauces!

10/10 will be returning“

“Though we were the last customers and the shift was tired and ready to go home, Michael and his team served us with the best customer service ever! We felt catered to like we were ar a sit down restaurant. Being my first time there I was impressed with how fresh and tasty our meal.was. I am a CAVA lover now! I hope they build one in Lakewood so I can dine there more! I am hooked thanks to Michael and his team!“
