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.“

“omg we absolutely loved everything! we tried various items since it was our first time. the staff was so wonderful and very helpful with any questions. the hummus is the best!! My favorite hummus now. the portions are a great size on the entrees and everything is seasoned to perfection! even the lentil soup....I had no idea lentil soup could be that good. this place deserves to be way more packed than it is. it looks worn on the outside but the food is too good to not keep going back. 10/10 I definitely recommend!“

“Wow. What a great restaurant. I thought it was a coffee shop at first then I walked in! Omg the smells are amazing . I sampled a few things, bought the pita Christs with cinnamon and fresh honey! Wow. Then I had the healthiest and yummiest drink ever. Prices are reasonable and food incredibly good! Prompt too!“

“Can’t wait to go back. Stopped in for lunch.

I got the fattoush salad (their rotisserie chicken I added is fire), my boyfriend got one of the wraps (well balanced, generous in size and phenomenal zaatar fries) and a tahini snickerdoodle.

Simple, tasty and fresh across the board. They don’t skimp on quality. Excited to go back and try anything else, and another cookie flavor ;)“

“Hdden Gem Alert: Incredible Shawarma Inside a Convenience Store!

I have to admit—I was skeptical at first. A shawarma restaurant inside a convenience store, with mixed reviews? I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after trying their Chicken Shawarma Plate and Beef kabob Plate, I can confidently say this place blew my mind!

The beef was incredibly juicy, moist, and generously portioned. Both came with yellow rice, crispy fries, and fresh tomato and lettuce chops, making for a hearty meal.Each was around $12.99 . In Colorado, Mediterranean food can be pricey with small portions, but this spot gives you tons of food for the price—definitely a great value! Note: If you need pita bread and hummus, you must order it as a side. Not included with the plate.

I couldn't find any tables or chairs inside(not sure). I ordered online beforehand, which made the experience smooth.Did pickup. The store itself isn’t the fanciest, but don’t let its appearance fool you. If you want to try Mediterranean food without breaking your bank, in this economy, check out this spot.

Would I come again? Yes.
Would I recommend it? Yes“
