Golden Falafel Restaurant

I love shwarma, and I love finding new places to try out, espexially nice mom and pop owned businesses! Today, I tried Golden Falafel, and I was very pleased with the experience. I had a to go order, so I could not attest to the in-house dining experience, but the man who answered the phone was very nice and answered my questions. I ordered the chicken shwarma plate, which came with a salad and pita and hummus along with the chicken and rice. Everything tasted great. The salad was surprisingly tasty, and though the hummus was low on salt, it was tasty once I added some to it. There was a lot of rice, and my only suggestion would be to add a little more chicken as I felt like it did not match the quantity of rice given. The overall taste of the shwarma was great, especia woth the tahini and tzaziki sauce added in! Everything stayed separated in the to go container, so that was also nice as I got to taste everything without it mixing together on my drive home. I would definitely say here again next time I am in the neighborhood!

Ambience: nothing special. Golden falafel is located in a strip mall next to a Safeway store. The interior is pretty basic. Come here for the food not the ambience.Service: was fine. No complaints.Food: the food is special. The baba ghanoush had some nice spices and some pomegranate pieces sprinkled on the top. Very nice preparation and presentation. The euro plate was generous, enough for the two of us to share. It also came with a side of hummus and a side salad. The hummus was especially good. The salad was just OK but we did appreciate the nice touch of some sliced plums added to it. We each had a fresh lemonade that must've been made in house. It was a little heavy on the sugar, but otherwise enjoyable. We would come back again for the food.

We are middle eastern food fanatics!When I read about Golden Falafel in the Post I had to try it...you should too!!!Small restaurant in a local mall run by a family.Food is very good. Loved the Chicken Shawarma plate (served with lovely fresh pita, Homemade Hummus, a great fresh Salad).I must say their rice is some of the best I have ever had. It has a unique deep flavor that most places do not have.The vegetarian plate is really awesome: Crispy Falafel, great fresh tabouleh and fattoush.Interesting Fava dip ( really more like a baked bean dish).Sure I have had better Hummus and baba ghanouj but for Denver this place is amazing.Since the article has come out the place is mobbed and since it is a one man show things are at a more gentle pace. The owner is a lovely man and you can feel his warmth.Prices are really good and what you get for your money is exceptional.Highly recommend you make the trek and enjoy some great comfort food!

SO GOOD! The Falafel was absolute perfection! The baklava was amazing! Not fancy inside but don't go for the atmosphere, you go for the food. I will return for sure and I would highly recommend!

A lil taste of home, I'm so happy to find a restaurant who makes the traditional breakfast pastries.Fresh juice is a normal thing in the Middle East so it's nice to find a place that offers FRESH JUICE all at a reasonable price. The owner is Moroccan and such a nice guy. And it feels clean an homily. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutely amazing! Super delicious fresh food. The owner was there, he's just lovely. Their restaurant is very clean and tastefully decorated. When I crave Mediterranean food, this is where I go. Prices are very affordable and reasonable for the amount of food you get!

The hubs and I met up with a friend for dinner tonight. We showed up right at 5 and the place very quickly filled up. We started with falafel and the zaatar bread. The falafel was so light and crispy and just delicious. The zaatar bread was soft and soaked up the olive oil and spices. I loved both and knew we were in for a good meal. For my main I went with the baba ganoush sandwich. I haven't had baba ganoush like this before. It had a little pomegranate molasses with pomegranate seeds wrapped up with mixed greens and herbs in pita. The hubs got a gyro sandwich with a side of fries. I snuck a bite and very good as well. Service was really fast and we knew we were in great hands with the owner. I definitely want to come back.

I love their vegetarian combo plate. I live in the neighborhood and get it once every few weeks to go. It is just superb. I do not eat meat so can not rate their meat dishes but the vegetarian plate is excellent. The pomegranate seeds on top of the baba ganoush are a nice touch. I wish their (homemade) pita was a little softer but it is not a deal breaker.I enjoy supporting small, local, independent, family-run establishments and this is certainly one. The proprietor is always friendly, remembering me as a regular customer.

Lamb shank, chicken shwarma & falafels were really first class! And not expensive for the quality of the food. Highly recommended.

Solid Mediterranean food. Great soup, good falafel nice baba ganouj good service.Recommend.
