"This is a very good Mediterranean Restaurant. I ordered the Lamb Kebobs for an entree and almond baklava for desserts.The entree came with a very good side salad, hummus, pita bread, rice and vegetables. The lamb was cooked perfectly, and all the side items were delicious.The baklava portion was enormous and delicious. I recommend sharing the baklava, if you are not dining alone.This restaurant is located in Downtown Denver, it was easy to find parking."
"A local favorite and a historical location, this spot seems like it has maintained its hole-in-a-wall stature, interior is old and worn off. Despite that the place has lots of recognition and accolades displayed on their wall. But the outdoor seating they have, looked so new and modern, best part of the restaurant.The breakfast items we tried were okay. Lemonade was decent. Pancakes were not so good. Service is okay. Dishes came out within a short time. We were happy to have checked mark this iconic spot but probably not the best experience we imagined."

"I second my original review and say that the gyro meat is phenomenal! I will also say that the portions can be bigger, but it's because I love it so much that I just want more. All the sampler platters are a must order. I have not physically been to the restaurant, but I have gotten it delivered to my home and work on multiple occasions and delivery is always quick. Whenever I get my delivery, I'm always worried that they will mess up my order, but that has never happened here."
"Happened to be nearby and great choice for dinner. Ordering was super easy at the drive thru, got the gyro sandwich and salad with gyro added. There is so much food for the price. I m so used to paying higher prices at the mall and had to double take on the price. $7.95 for gyro sandwich, $12.50 for gyro with salad.The gentleman who handed me the bag was super friendly and told me to " safe drive home." What a nice gesture.Judging from the amount of food, just the Greek salad with meat added will be plenty for two people (light eater)."
"As you can tell by the plethora of reviews, this is a spot to drop into. My favorite local restaurant in all of Parker, Colorado in addition to JuJu's Coffee! Consisent high quality Greek food at a more than fair price. EXCELLENT!"
"This is definitely an underrated hidden gem. My boyfriend has been praising about the quality of this place ever since he started working in the area and I finally got the chance to to try out their wonders! I got the gyro platter and he got the falafel platter. The gyro platter had so much food I had to get my boyfriend to finish the rest. Everything was so good and packed with flavor there was never a dull moment eating it. The gyro meat can sometimes be dry but not this one! I also tried a bite of my boyfriend's falafel and it was SO good. I haven't had too many to judge, but according to him, it's the best falafel he's ever had on his life."
"The place was packed on a weekday for lunch. I see why. The food is good, filling, tasty and reasonably priced. Did I mention it is a family owned business -- it was clear to me, as I stood in line, there are a bunch of a regular customers. The place has clearly stood the test of time. As to the food, the gyros platter was exceptional, cooked perfectly, served warm and it hit the spot. Came with fries, Greek salad with Dolmas and freshly grilled pita. The falafel appetizer was alright -- way too much coriander than I expected or am accustomed to. Service was fast. Lots of take out orders. Lots of dine in. Yianni's is certainly worth a visit when you want to try Greek."
"Kalita is a solid gyro spot with decent prices, great portions, and excellent flavor. I was impressed by the grilled chicken salad, which was juicy and had two full skewers of chicken. The baklava was laminated to perfection! While the gyro meat was good, it paled in comparison to the chicken. The kalita wrap comes with fries in it, which threw me off a bit. I loved the hot sauce and used it on my chicken salad, too."
"If you love Greek food, Yanni's is a must try!Everything I ate was wonderful. The gyro meat flavorful, the tzatziki rich and creamy, fresh onions, tomatoes and cucumbers; I was in heaven. The portions of all the plates coming from the kitchen were huge! Yanni himself also came around with little plastic shot glasses to try a Greek liquor on the house! Our server kept us entertained the entire night as well.There's also paintings and wine scattered throughout the entire restaurant. A welcoming environment to create a delicious dinner.At around $30 a person, Yanni's isn't cheap but won't break the bank either and it is well worth it in my opinion."

The best lamb kafta! It is juicy light brown deliciousness. The huge plate of hummus with chicken is tasty with warm fresh pita. The food came out fast and the hot Turkish tea at the end of meal is perfect. We got baklava to go for late night snack. The walnut baklava is crunchy outside and soaked with flavorful honey.

First stop in Denver and we licked our plates clean...! Pete's Kitchen is a solid diner in Denver - we saw the breakfast burrito supreme is a must and it satisfied our hungry stomachs.The green chile is soo delicious and the burrito is PACKED with eggs, gyro, meats and topped with cheese. The fried hash brown was the BEST part about this burrito. Biscuits and gravy are a classic too!

This place was always fine but now it's very, very good. Food is just classic Mediterranean done absolutely correctly. Service is good and it's great to sit on the patio when it's warm

Fast friendly service with a drive-thru. The combo option is a great deal with the meat of your choice, fries, and a drink. Both the fries and amount of meat in the gyro was generous. I like a traditional gyro with tomatoes, onions, fries, and tzatziki sauce - just like you can get in Athens. Fries were served hot with plenty of spice. Definitely my go-to for fast, good gyros.

This is our go to Mediterranean restaurant! Their abengelemono soup is to die for!! It always hits the spot for me!! The gyros are fantastic as well. Our favorite is the pitas! Something about the soft warm and chewy texture you get when you go to opa! It's a gem!

I ordered this for takeout for the first time today and I knew this was going to be a delicious meal as soon as I sat in my car with the to go order, made my whole car smell so amazing. I decided with the traditional gyro greek platter as well as the falafel with hummus, you know to get a taste of everything of course! The gyro meat was some of the best I've ever had, it was cooked perfectly and not dry at all. The salad was fresh and I liked that the dressing was a little spicy. Love falafel, and this one was no exception, but I did like it better dipped in the tzatziki sauce rather than the hummus - but I dipped the pita bread that came with the platter in the hummus, which was delicious :) I also love the fact that the platter comes with a little piece of baklava - so goodHappy to have a new go-to Greek place in Denver!

I'm so glad a friend introduced me to this greek restaurant on West Colfax. They have plenty of parking and there was no wait for a table on a Friday afternoon for lunch. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. The Yianni's House Special Platter is fantastic. It's Gyro, Chicken, Pork, Greek Salad & Pita bread, a great sampler of greek delicacies. Mine came with a dolmade, too!The owner was super nice and accommodating. It was just a wonderful experience.

The kalita style chicken gryo was to die for. They put a spicy sauce in replacement of taziki which elevates this wrap so much. The sauce is abit spicy but nothing overwhelming in my opinion, its just a great mellow kick of flavor. The people here are friendly and do mot rush you or your food.Theres plenty of parking in this plaza so definitely stop by if you love Mediterranean food.

"It had gotten late and we were so hungry. We selected this restaurant because they appeared to be open until 10 PM. When we said we wanted to dine in, we were told they were closing at 9:30. That still gave us ample time to eat. This place is along a row of international restaurants. Inside, it's not huge, but it's cozy and clean. The Gyros plate was large and came with a salad. The presentation was beautiful. The ingredients were obviously fresh, and the meal was delicious."
"This place is great! Came here with some coworkers and so happy we did. This place has incredible food and is hoppin! Lunch was busy by 1145, so get there by 1130 during a weekday lunch. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it was so nice. I got the medi bowl with lamb which was a great size and super tasty. I could only eat half. They accidentally gave us fries and yum!! I will bring my husband here now because I know he is going to want to try their gyro. Highly recommend!"
"DEEEEE- licious! We went here wanting something on the lighter side. And we're so happy with our choice"
"This tiny Greek/Lebanese restaurant opened 15 years ago is what I heard from Kal, the manager onsite (in charge) with whom I interacted when I went there past 6:30 to place a to-go order. I had passed by this restaurant umpteen times in the past. Why did it take so long before I finally got a chance to try it is definitely a question I asked myself today. It's okay; I patted my shoulder that I finally went to check it out today after many years of procrastination!!Kal (I mentioned earlier in this review) is hilarious! He, first of all, welcomed me as soon as I stepped in the restaurant like a peppy/talkative macaw! Once I knew what I wanted, I walked up to the register and told him my choice of plate. Unfortunately, the restaurant was about to close so he told me they had run out of the tabbouleh that was part of the plate. Too bad! I decided to go with one of the sandwiches (something easygoing) instead and a side of grape leaves dolma (4 pieces). While I was waiting for my food, Kal and I talked more. He asked me about my cultural background and this led us to talk about fresh seafood as I'm from Japan and he used to live in Boston. He definitely made me laugh; he entertained me like a stand up comedian!The food didn't take long. I waited for maybe 5 minutes at the tops. Kal said to order ahead (by calling in) next time and insisted me on taking the to-go menu as he truly wanted me to come back for the plate I couldn't get tonight. And the food?-Shawarma in a pita wrap (beef) was ridiculously delicious! The meat, lettuce and tomato were all impeccably marinated in the tzatziki sauce and is surprisingly so light despite the look of it. -Dolmas (4 pieces) - I've been to a similar restaurant where they serve dolmas and their dolmas were a bit too oily. This restaurant's dolmas are nothing like that. Perfect amount of oil makes their dolmas perfectly moist. This is now my go-to place for dolmas when I get a craving for it. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu!"
"When I utilized this business a little while back, I really didn't have a great experience; it was mostly not so great service where the lady who assisted me had no friendliness in her facial expression or words she uttered. My daughter who recently got a takeout from here pretty much agreed with me when it came to service (although she absolutely enjoyed the food itself.) I, however, believe in giving people or businesses a second chance so I went here just the other night to get myself a quick dinner (to which my daughter accompanied me.) To my surprise, I had a much better experience this time. The male worker upfront immediately greeted us upon arrival; he was polite with professionalism. He didn't rush me in any way; he patiently waited until I knew what I wanted. Once I had told him what I wanted he immediately transacted the order to which I settled the tab. While I was waiting for my food, I took the time to look around the restaurant to notice everything inside the it. The restaurant was very clean. The long/skinny layout of it is somewhat modern. It also has a good size patio seating. All the way back to the end (east side of it) there is a party area/room. It appears it can possibly hold 30-40 people. There was a customer who dines here on a regular basis (he also identified himself a friend to the business owner) and he friendlily spoke to us as he noticed us when walked in. He was sort of acting like the spokesperson of the restaurant and he said to talk to the manager if we had any questions or problems with anything with this place as the manager/owner truly cares about their customers' needs and satisfaction. What a nice guys!! After 10-15 minutes, my food was finally ready. At home, I immediately started my meal. Let's get to the main topic of this review: the food!!!Vegetable samosas: my daughter made a recommendation on this. When it comes to samosas I like chunky/dense ones. This restaurant makes their samosas thin. They tasted good but I still like my samosas made chunky stuffed with all kinds of ingredients with more density. These are 7 out of 10.Kari Pakora: Lemony curry with a good amount of kick (its spiciness is quite noticeable.) Unlike other typical curries, this one is not as heavily stewed so the texture is closely resembling to soups (more like) so in that sense, it's a light curry. I've never had a curry like this and I dig this very much; 8.5 out of 10 (the rice that accompanied the curry had a lot of saffron in it. In a way, I like my rice more plain so that it's not too overpowering to kill the flavors of the curry. It wasn't bad though!)To conclude my experience this time, it was quite good; 8 out of 10 for everything I had experienced. This place definitely made the list of my favorite Indian restaurants in Denver for sure."
"Uptown & Humboldt is a special place. I've seen every iteration of them over the years. From food trucking and meal prepping to hotel brunching and food stalling, these cats have been ALL OVER the Greater Denver metro area sharing their culinary creativity with the masses.You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone kinder and more passionate about the community more than Gio and his business partner, Hayden. The ethos of Uptown & Humboldt stems from their travels around the world and their culinary adventures. The end result is nothing short of damn delicious food.The current menu revolves around their gyros and burgers. You can't go wrong with anything you try. The FMB and Berlin burgers are absolutely delicious. On my most recent visit I went with my favorite order: the Lamb Gyro and Yuca Fries. This combination is magnificent. The lamb tender and the gyro filling. The yuca fries somehow steal the show every time, with the garlic cilantro aioli in th running for most addictive side sauce in Denver.PRO TIP: wash it down with a Pineapple Basil Agua Fresca. It puts all other agua frescas to shame. Splurge on the drink, IT'S BEYOND WORTH IT.If you're at their food stall at Zeppelin Station, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't try anything from their newer tapas menu. The two standouts are the Truffle Manchego Croquettes and the Pistachio Whipped Feta. Just take my money and call it a day.If you find their food truck and they happen to be serving breakfast burritos, order one. Actually order seven. In the breakfast burrito-obsessed world of Colorado, theirs are TOP TIER. These are craveworthy. Like going out in a blizzard craveworthy!I'm one of Gio and Hayden's biggest fans. They've accomplished so much in a short period of time, but I have a feeling they have big things on their horizon. Wonderful people, excellent food, and a burning desire to do good in this world. If that isn't the recipe for success and happiness, I don't know what is."
"Love Byblos and never disappointed. The gyros are some of my favorite and don't sleep on the garlic dip as a side. Drool worthy! The baklava is also a great way to end the meal. Very easy to order online and the service is impeccable. Not only are the extremely fast, they are the absolute nicest!! Byblos, thank you for being such a great, tasty option in our neighborhood."
"All went well. Hidden gem of Leetesdale and Monaco blvd., Parkway. If you like Greek food, this is a place to come. Services is always perfect. Food comes out reasonably at a reasonable time or is that redundant. I like beer."
"This food truck was amazing. Quick service, incredible Gyros and so convenient in downtown near the bars! Definitely want to come back!"
"Loved this place and it is only a few blocks from the Hampton Inn Speer Blvd.They have pork souvlaki, which is very hard to find in the United States. My wife loved the Greek Salad and I enjoyed the Gyro Combo with fries and drink. The fries have a wonderful seasoning, highly recommended.The owner is very friendly and he takes a lot of pride in his cuisine and we loved the background music.If we ever return to Denver, this is the first restaurant we would come back to!!!"
"Sad to see that this place is rated only 3.5 stars. In my opinion, it's a solid 4 stars to me. Inside of the restaurant never fails to show the care the employees put into its cleanliness. Service is always good. And the food quality? It solid no matter when I stop here to get food. I tend to get the same thing over and over: the Chicken Shawarma plate and Eggplant side dish. They gave us generous amount of pita bread to go with the both of them. I strongly recommend that you get food here during lunch because menu after lunch has hiked up prices for most of the items. Maybe this is the only downside of this restaurant?? If you pay by cash, you'll get a free baklava. What else can I say about this decent restaurant? Well, conveniently located in the busy DTC area where the surrounding schools (when they are in session) can send students to this place. Or workers from the nearby offices can grab a quick and quality Greek food. This place continues to be one of my go-to places. Lucky to live nearby!!"
