"Independently owned and operated and the owner is lovely! Quaint setting with beautiful, authentic decor. Personable, attentive service. Food is delicious! We love the gyro and shawarma plates! The French fries are so good! I always ask for extra sauce to dip them in. My MIL loves the lentil soup and there always seems to be customers coming in to get some to go every time we're dining in. My husband enjoys the Turkish coffee and there is a nice selection of middle eastern drinks such as ayran, kardamom tea, rose water, and vimto. I really enjoy their chai tea! Some chai teas I find are overpowered with ginger but theirs is well-balanced and smooth!"

"Wow, the food here is amazing!!! My family had eaten at one of their other locations and I was glad to get to join them for lunch. I ordered the ultimate sandwich and got a little of each of their meats (gyro, shawarma & falafel). My wife and daughter got kids meals with chicken shawarma and my son ordered the chicken nuggets and fries. All the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. My work often caters food from here and they love it."

Bosphorus

"I've had Bosphorus on my radar for a while now, and after seeing it make Yelp's Top 50 Places to Eat in Denver, I couldn't wait any longer!I showed up for lunch at around 1PM on a weekday, perfectly timed as another guest was just leaving -- no waiting for a table! I could have spent hours gawking at the menu. After a recent trip to Greece, I've been longing for some tasty & authentic Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food, and everything looked incredible. Somewhat of a panic decision, I went with the chicken gyro sandwich and a stuffed grape leaf. When asked if I wanted rice, fries, or a salad with my sandwich, I asked for rice, and was met with "hmmmm, are you sure about that?". Melih (very easily!) convinced me to change to fries and WOW I am so glad I did...hands down some of the best fries I have ever had, perfectly crispy and seasoned so well! The gyro meat was phenomenal and packed with flavor. The stuffed grape leaf was also delish! Huge portions and incredibly fair pricing!Although the food was awesome, my 5-star experience here really was brought together by the friendliest staff/owners, a cozy/homey/authentic spot filled with awesome Turkish history on the walls, and the most welcoming atmosphere. I will absolutely be back to try the Iskender Kebab, Fried Eggplant, and Turkish Tea (and to get more fries!)."

"Outstanding take out service. I kind of wish we would have stand in the restaurant- great vibe? Clean, colorful and smelled sooooo good! I couldn't wait to get home and tear into our dinner!! Half and half was incredible with rich deep flavors in the baba ganoush. Kids devoured their huge beef and lamb sandwich. Generous portions of meat in my husband's dinner platter!! Can't wait to return and try more!! Until next time ...."

"Mediterranean restaurant with a few shelves of grocery items. Salads were very good but those pita chips were the best!!!! Service was great. The adobe style building has a cute little area in the front for outdoor seating. We'll definitely be back for those pita chips!!!!"

Gyros Plus at Chapel Hills

★★★★☆ 4.4 (84) • $

"I love Mediterranean food and used to eat it a lot in California. Sadly, Hawaii doesn't have many Mediterranean spots so when I came to the food court, I wanted to eat something healthy. All other food court spots look too greasy. I saw Mediterranean so I had to try it. I ordered the chicken pita with everything. The highlight of the dish is of course is the tender slicked chicken with great seasoning. However, the main kicker is that SAUCE. Oh my goodness, it is to die for. Guy working said it's him moms recipe and it has no msg, barely any salt. A lot of Mediterranean spots or wanna be spots has very thin consistency with their sauce but not here. Thick, dip your French fries and smother it all over your pita greatness. I had to add extra sauce so I could dip my fries in it. Wish we had this place in Hawaii. Absolutely delicious! Forget the other spots in the food court that'll make you feel nasty after you eat. This place is refreshing, made to order and great service. A plus in my book!"

Zaman Mediterranean Fresh

"First-time experience at Zaman, and I'll be glad to return.Hadn't eaten lunch and only had some coffee and a bit of yogurt for breakfast, so come 2 pm I was hunnngry. But the problem was my honey and I were meeting friends for an early dinner out and so I didn't want to ruin my appetite. Hence the question of what to do. Passed by Zaman and had seen some very good reviews of it and had the great thought: hey, maybe they sell appetizer sized portions of one of my favorite Middle Eastern dishes--baba ghanoush with a pita. I was thinking, maybe I could have a few bites of that and not spoil my appetite for dinner a little later. So that's what I did. I stopped on by and picked up a to-go order since they did have that on the menu and bingo...food problem solved.Didn't just like it. I loved it. Almost as good as Yayha's, my favorite Middle Eastern spot, so I will be happy to try out some of their other dishes. Liked the fast casual set-up and the nice people who ran the place. All-in-all an excellent experience.Sign me,David "Satisfied but not filled up"M."

Grape Leaves Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (48)

"Their near perfect reviews left by many truly speak for the kind of restaurant it is. It's only 10 minutes away from my northeast DTC house. How come I didn't discover this place until a few days ago?This is not necessarily a fancy restaurant in any way but it sure is a clean restaurant. When I arrived at the peak dinner time, one of the workers was cleaning the little mess left behind by a diner. And she was very thorough in cleaning. I picked up one of the menus at a table and that was when this super friendly gentleman in the kitchen asked me, "Is this here or to go, my friend?" Ahh, thank for calling me a friend! Like I always do, instead of getting me a huge entree plate, I got me a few sides as a nice accompaniment to what I already have at home. Grape leaves and tzatziki sauce definitely sounded good to me on top of falafels. The same guy in the kitchen continued to be friendly to me while I was placing my order. He carried on a nice casual small talk conversation with me without any pause. He truly made an effort to get to know me. Once home, I immediately started my dinner. I was truly impressed with the grape leaves. They are marinated with jalapeño so they've got a good kick in it. This is very unique for grape leaves as I've never had spicy ones before. Falafels are nice and brown with perfect crunchiness. The tzatziki sauce was great for dipping some raw veggies I had in my fridge. Later that night, my daughter came by with empty stomach. To the question she asked me, "Do you have any food?" I replied with an evil looking grin on my face, "Yes, I've got just that!" and gave her some of the leftovers from my earlier dinner. She was beyond impressed with everything especially the grape leaves! "Where did you get all this great food?" she asked to which I replied, "Grape Leaves Mediterranean Restaurant on Mississippi and Peoria!" "Mom, we need to go back soon to get us more of those!" she uttered! This restaurant instantly gained a few die hard fans that night!!"

"I went here for lunch with my mom on a weekday. Food was delicious and fresh. It was probably some of the best Middle Eastern food I've had.We ordered the freshly made hummus, baba ghanoush, and chicken shawarma bowl. Everything was fresh, well-made, and priced were extremely reasonable. We will be back again!"

"I'm sorry, but you can't get this much food for cheap anywhere in Denver. I got the two meat combo and it was absolutely delicious! I can't believe their prices, very affordable. Service is friendly. I'll be back."
