“Best Greek Food in Denver“

“This is a great takeout place although they do have seating inside the food was delicious! Price is quite affordable. Really enjoyed my chicken Shawarma bowl. It was hot tasty and fresh.

The place is clean and the service was good!“

“Stumbled upon this place after my stomach was arguing with me for lunch and noticed a 9.99 large pepperoni pizza 12’ and how could you not get someone in the door with such a good deal? Incredible vibe inside, but let’s get to the good part, the pizza!! Originally from Milwaukee/chicago so I know a good pie when I try it and would, on certain days, consider myself a pizza connoisseur, but this one takes the cake hands down. I tried a few other “Chicago style” pizza places, and they don't give the justification this pizza gives. Incredible cheese pull; I could chug a gallon of the pizza sauce by itself if I had a chance. The pepperoni was amazing, of course, and my oh my did I have an amazing experience. I instantly thought to myself, this chef must come from Chicago or somewhere in the Midwest, and sure enough, he was! Corey, you’re the man, bro! I’ll be back and can’t wait to have other people try it.“

“The food was delicious, the portions were generous. Felt like a neighborhood. highly recommend.“

“Everything I've had has been delicious but this time ordered the family feast and was a great meal!!! Lots of food and a great value! Their staff is friendly and amazing and the restaurant is clean and welcoming! Highly recommend!“

“I had such a great experience at CAVA today! Jacey was the team member who helped me, and she was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive. She truly made my experience even better!

This is honestly one of the best CAVA locations I’ve been to when it comes to the atmosphere, cleanliness, and customer service. The restaurant is always so clean, and the customer service is consistently top-tier.

Jacey was so patient with me, and I really appreciated her kindness and willingness to help. It’s employees like her who make you want to keep coming back!

I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Best halal food this side of Denver, hands down. I am Lebanese, I’ve lived in Lebanon, and this is the closest I’ve found to food in the Middle East. My siblings and cousins always want to stop here when they fly in. Staff are friendly and respectful.“

“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!“

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

“Incredibly delicious food. Restaurant was mostly empty when we came late at night but the music was enjoyable and service was good.

Highly recommend what we got, which was eggplant dip, kebab plates, and mint lemonade. Fair warning the mint lemonade is a bit sweet, so you may want to dilute with soda water or take it home for later.“

“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!“

So kind, friendly, and genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. You can tell there is so much passion and love put into this place. Definitely recommend checking it out—you won’t regret it!“

“Excellent food which is all you really need. Their hummus is authentic and excellently made; their falafel, perfectly crispy.

I’d say that the only thing they miss on is that the food is Instagram stuffed. It looks good, tastes great, but the sandos are a little messy to eat.

10/10 would recc“

“irst time trying CAVA and I’m already a fan. I ordered the spicy chicken bowl and it was a 10/10 full of flavor, super fresh, and honestly better than I expected. Everything looked clean and well prepared, which made the whole experience even better.

The staff was incredibly friendly, warm, and helpful, especially for it being my first visit. They took their time explaining options and made great recommendations.

“My husband and I have been regular customers of Saj Fresh Grill for over 10 years, and every time we eat at the restaurant or order takeout, we are always amazed! The quality of the food is excellent, and the Mediterranean flavors delight our senses! We love the owner's hospitality and the quality and love with which she prepares the dishes. It's our favorite place! If you're looking for a place to eat healthy and tasty food, Saj Fresh Grill is definitely your place!“

“Not a big fan on hummus but I had to try this place out... it was worth every penny! nice clean and the service was awesome“

“Wish I could give this place 10 stars. I got into an accident right in front of here on a cold January night and ended up having to wait 3 hours for the police to show up, and then another hour on top of that for the tow truck. The staff was AMAZING and let me sit here for a total of 4 hours until I was finally able to leave when the tow truck came. Since my car was totaled, there was no way for me to sit in it and wait for hours, so I don’t know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t been so gracious and sheltered me from the cold. The staff was extremely nice to me and really calmed me down after the whole experience. I was a complete crying wreck and the guys there went out of their way to make me feel better. They even offered me a free drinks while I was there! I can’t thank them enough! It really restores your faith in humanity. I hope to get back there someday soon to leave whoever’s working a big tip, to try and pay back some part of the overwhelming kindness I received that night!“

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

“The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I can never eat all of my food and always have leftovers. I usually get the wraps and need to try the plates as those look delicious too. So happy that this places exists. I have never had a bad experience. The prices are reasonable too.“

“We had an awesome and amazing experience at el five. When we are back in Denver we will go again. I most highly recommend this place as one you must experience while in Denver. Just in my top 3 places now. Totally worth it and awesome.“
