Location: 203 W Hampden Ave, Englewood, CO 80110A very nice, clean restaurant, and the food is superb!! I had a chicken kafta sandwich, and my wife opted for the curry chicken. She had been there before and loved the food. Both dishes were great! Such full flavor on both, and generous portions as well. Not easy to find, and worth the effort!! They have sushi, too!! Brothers run the place, each trained in both cuisines. Sushi next time!!/2024 Had the unagi nigiri and it was delicious. The seaweed wrap was very tasty, and the eel was warm and full of those flavors that make eel one of my favorite sushi "meats". Topping it off was the meal-sized kafta chicken (shared with my spouse). And, another winner! Delicious, juicy chicken with a great cacophony of complementary flavors. The garlic paste very flavorful. And, again, the hummus is to die for! Especially tasty after all those bland supermarket hummus's!Dietary restrictions: GF is accommodated for many dishes.Parking: Google maps may not take you to the parking lot. Frustrating, but true. Worth the effort to go, though!!

Please just sell your downtown location to an owner who actually cares and will take pride in the place. You can't be serving papa pita bread from walmart alongside your 30+ dollar kebab meals and the restaurant itself is filthy and disgusting both inside and out. Do the right thing, sell the building, and help us to remove the blight from downtown Denver!!

Came here during the weekend with the family. It was all our first time trying Mediterranean food and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the chicken kabob, Hummus sandwich, and a good amount of sushi but the mango sushi is a must try!... I should've took more pictures. My Compliments to the chef, manuel you rocked.

I miss my grandmas middle eastern cooking so badly and this was absolutely delicious and reminded me of her! Ordered for delivery and it was quick and fresh and so authentic! The fattoush salad with added grilled chicken was delicious! I also opted for a gyro with some hot sauce! So good! If you want fresh, healthy, authentic Middle Eastern food, order or go here! Shkran!

Absolutely the best Mediterranean food in the State! The food is amazing and consistent every time. I love all the vegan options and have been coming here for many years, since the original owner. Since then, I've made this a go-to spot for the veggie plate. The baba will melt in your mouth with tahini deliciousness. The hummus is also insanely delicious, as well as all the salads and falafel. My favorite place for healthy delicious Mediterranean food!
Absolutely delicious Mediterranean food.I had the Mixed Appetizer which had a little bit of EVERYTHING! A MUST TRY FOR SURE!Also the Crab Rangoon was wonderful!Come in and give them a try next time you're passing through Englewood, Colorado!
Love, love, love their food!!! Everything on the menu is so good! Will keep coming back to this place. On top of that they were all so nice and friendly.
On the day we were hammered by the wet/heavy snow the past Saturday, I was able to stop by this restaurant to pick up several items after working my side hustle in west Littleton. Two things to quickly mention about the experience: Service which was above and beyond except for the fact that they got two of the items slightly wrong and quality of food that satisfied my palate. Service: My warmest thanks to Pedro who was exceptionally kind and helpful. You explained to me how long the restaurant has/had been in business (17+ years that includes 2 years for implementing the sushi element into the middle eastern cuisine). You said you have/had a brother who worked at Hapa Sushi in DTC but now works at Jing so he is/was the very reason as to why the cohabitation of Lebanese and Japanese cuisines. This is stranger than fiction but hey, whatever works for you is the best way, right? You guys truly thought outside of the box. Quality of Food: Whereas my order was slightly wrong (I asked for sashimi, not nigiri which I didn't realize after I had left the restaurant and sushi wasn't exceptional to be frank), I enjoyed the items from the Lebanese side very much. The Lamb pies (2 pieces) were a bit smaller than I had imagined but they were delicious. The Green Hummus had a nice kick in it but I was able to handle the spiciness well. The side pita bread (or naan bread) that apparently came with the hummus (because I didn't order it) came in two pieces; they were a good size and authentic as well. Something miscellaneous to mention: You guys were featured in the Denver Post in the past; this definitely was a well-deserved accolade when it happened. For a business that has been around for almost two decades by standing the test of time in this ever changing restaurant landscape in the Denver metro area, you definitely knew how to navigate through the ups and downs of the industry many other businesses had to endure. So huge congratulations to you guys. The restaurant can utilize some upgrades as things inside appear to be dated from years ago but it is not dirty in any way. I saw other interesting things on the menu so I'll have to go back here and try them soon. It sure was a good experience with this one of a kind restaurant! BTW...Pedro's brother was in the kitchen (apparently he made my nigiris.) I was seen off by both of them upon exiting the restaurant.

Very good food, definitely on par with some of the best middle eastern food I've, if not better. The restaurant was fairly chill for a Friday night, not sure if that's a normal thing, but it really was just me and one or two other tables. Anyway, the server was prompt, kept my water topped up, and friendly. Started out with what I think was hummus which was nice and smooth, and well-seasoned and went well with the piping hot flatbread that came with it.I ended up ordering the Meat Combo Shawarma, which is served with nicely-seasoned rice, a salad, and Tzatziki sauce. The meat was superb! I also ordered an Arabic coffee that was too hot to drink right away, but had cooled down just in time to enjoy with dessert, which was a very tasty baclava. All in all, a nice dinner for one. I will definitely come back, maybe with some friends next time. Definitely give this place a shot!
