“Hands down the best pita sandos and falafels in town! If you’re looking for something both delicious and nutritious, look no further than Sonny’s.

The owner and the staff are all very friendly and they consistently deliver some of the best food in Denver. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Had some lovely unorthodox cuisine Saturday night with my cousin. Best lamb and hummus ever!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Very friendly, went in off peak so they were busy fixing something outside but that’s life. Longest wait was putting order in. Very delicious, great service throughout. Apologize immediately for being busy. Food very filling. Highly recommend! Reasonably priced for today’s inflation. Oh bathrooms and restaurant immaculately clean.“

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

Definitely will be coming back!“

“Was absolutely and totally blown away by this unassuming, gem of a neighborhood gem/restaurant. Really good and delicious food in a very down to earth location - the back part of a petrol stand, no less. We ordered a gyro sandwich and chicken shawarma plate, and they were both really, really good! If you want to eat in, there is a counter with ten high chairs, no table seating. You can also take away your orders, of course. Free parking adjacent to the restaurant. Very and highly recommended!“

“Everything we ordered was delicious!“

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

“Just had dinner here tonight, it was beyond my expectations. I had the Meat Moussaka plate. The staff and manager were so kind an welcoming. I’ll definitely go back.“

“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“

“The best lentil soup I've ever had! The falafel sandwich was amazing, along with great service! We will be coming back!“

“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!“

“The food is amazing and the place is beautiful“

“Food was great, portions are huge, tasty food, amazing service. I ordered catering and all my guests loved it! 5 stars! Check them out for your next iftar or any occasion.“

“Do not come here expecting some fast food style sandwich or plate made hurriedly. If there is a wait for your food, it is absolutely worth your time.
Tonight we ordered two chicken shawarma wraps, the salad, and fries. Making a shawarma this good is a craft - the meat perfectly roasted, expertly seasoned, and the wrap charred to perfection. Everything made here is prepared with incredible care. And it’s not just the food, the owner is also very genuine and hospitable. When we arrived tonight to pick up our order, the owner gave us two fresh falafels to try with hummus (just because!) and they were the best falafel I have ever tried. On a previous occasion, I’ve seen him give out waters to some unhoused people passing by. Do yourself a favor and make the trip to ShiiSh.“

“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.“

“Excellent food, staff is very nice and attentive. Our group had a fun time and amazing dinner.“

“We had the most delicious & generous food donated for The Untold Stories Of Gaza. The food was absolutely incredible & we loved it so much! Thank you!!“

“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!“
