Absolute gem of a restaurant. The food is always so fresh and tasty. The staff is super nice, and the owners are lovely. No wonder they have been open since 2008, almost 18 years! Highly recommend. The beef shawarma is my favorite, but the chicken kabobs are a close second! The garlic sauce is to die for. Please support small businesses on Colfax, especially during this horrible construction they have going on....

We loved everything about Phoenician Kabob! Our server was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and even though we were full we were so glad we didn’t skip dessert!
Would highly recommend the mushroom fatayer, veggie combo, and the hummus shawarma - and definitely don’t skip dessert!

One of Denver’s hidden gems. The atmosphere, food, attentiveness, everything is amazing. The baba ghanoush along with the three meat combo was great for two people at a reasonable price. Paired with a glass of wine and baklava to end the meal. They shared some homemade pistachio ice cream too on the house! No notes. Will return again and again.
