Phoenician Kabob

I decided to give Phoenician Kabob a try the other day after reading some pretty enthusiastic reviews, and while I was a little reticent to move on from a place I like well enough, the quest for better Baba Ghanouj got the better of me. I certainly did not regret the choice. I ordered the Veggie combo and added a side of Lamb Shawarma with garlic sauce for delivery. (They do have a combo that includes Gyro Meat and Chicken Shawarma too). The food was still steaming when it arrived. Everything in the combo was nicely spiced, right down to the cinnamon-scented rice. The falafels were crispy (I could've polished off more than the included 3 for sure). The hummus was thicker than some but artfully done, and the Baba Ghanouj...well it was everything I wanted. Super smoky and silky and not overwhelmed by tahini (which is my pet peeve). The included pitas were puffy, hot and perfect for stuffing and tearing (order extra!) The sauces addicting; the grape leaves flavorful. As for the lamb, it was a good sized serving and quite tasty. It did cool quickly, a risk with delivery. But I can't fault the restaurant for that. I will say that their choice of compostable containers made the decision more guilt free for me, and is probably reason enough to continue the deliciousness. The food is more expensive than competitors, which did make me hesitate initially, and ultimately the portion size of the combo wasn't that big. But it was fantastic. I discovered later that the restaurant has a website platform allowing for easy takeout orders, and the prices are significantly less than through Grubhub (~$4/entree or $2/dip). So now that I know what I'm working with, I'll definitely just pick it up myself.

Very good falafel, eggplant was decent too but too expensive $9 for 6 slices. Service is very good, it's a casual place so nothing fancy to expect. Entrees are large portions, Greek salad was quite small portion.

Solid middle eastern place with a pretty extensive menu. I have ordered a few items for take-out on different occasions.My consistent experience with this place is that the service is stellar in this family run place and the prices are reasonable for the current climate.The food is flavored well and consistent but not always the most tender cuts of meat.I do enjoy supporting this place and they could be a 5-star review with slightly better cuts of meat. I personally would not mind paying the difference in price for a better product.

Newish to the neighborhood and decided to give Phoenician a try. We ordered to-go and had a couple of drinks while we waited. Gyro Sandwich and Greek Salad w/ Gyro. Ambiance of the restaurant was cozy, yet open and family-oriented. It was very clean and the bar top was glistening. My only complaint is that we ordered a side of pita, but when we got home we didn't have it. We weren't charged for it, but still disappointing.

I really hate leaving a bad review, but this had to be one of the worst meals I have ever had. I don't get how this place has high reviews. Maybe we were unlucky and caught them on a bad day, but as a restaurant you should be consistent. Food is extremely overpriced for how itty bitty tiny the portions are. Our chicken shawarma and chicken kebob was very cold and dry. They charge extra for a tiny side of garlic sauce which every Mediterranean restaurant includes at no charge. Each plate was around $22, so not worth it. Won't be going back. Hummus was also super overpriced and should be included in an entree. All the food was very flavorless. $90 for 2 people. Mediocre food, service, and atmosphere. It's also right off Colfax, in a scary neighborhood.

Took my son here for dinner before our concert. The place is decently sized and casual. Our waiter was ok and not as attentive. He was young. Not sure how long he worked there, but I gave him grace and not let it bother me too much. He was very nice which I liked very much. We started off with some falafel to share. The falafels were delicious. My son ordered the meat combo plate which comes with pita bread. He chose two beef and one chicken kabobs. I ordered the gyro plate which doesn't come with pita bread. His serving of pita bread was more than plenty to share. The pita bread was so delicious and warm out of the oven. My son really enjoyed his meat combo plate. He said he liked the chicken kabob more than the beef kabobs. I really enjoyed my gyro plate. I also ordered a piece of baklava to try too. The baklava was good and not as sweet. It's definitely great for people who needs to cut back on sugar. The baklava was ok for me. I still like Jerusalem's baklava the most. This place is good. I would come back.

This cuisine is tops! So fresh and delicious. Put it in your must go to list. You'll thank me. Now go.

Maddison was super helpful and attentive even on a slow day like today! I needed to take an online class so I kindly asked for the WIFI and she wrote it down for me! The restaurant is clean and well lit with soft music. The food was the highlight outside of my online class! A great variety and the Appetizers worked out to be enough for me but I am a snacker so I ordered a full Greek salad! Thanks for having me!

Second time here, great service and delicious, generous portions. Go for the labneh, garlic sauce, and good on everything. Not toum, don't get me wrong, it's more of an aioli.

Sadly disappointed. I was looking forward to trying this place with my half-Armenian mother-in-law who thought this place would live up to its star reviews. It was almost empty when we arrived on Saturday evening at 5:00 PM and the employees seemed eager to be helpful. Our server was very sweet. We ordered grape leaves and garlic dip with pita for appetizers and the grape leaves were fresh, warm and tasty. It was served with a yogurt dip which had little flavor but the garlic dip had ALL the garlic in Denver whipped into its fluffiness. It was actually too garlicky (I can't believe I'm saying that) but I added it to all the rest of the food I ordered which helped a little. While the pita bread looked freshly made, it was too hard and crispy to enjoy, like some ingredient was missing or the flour was old. My "salad" was comprised of chunked cucumber & tomatoes with a sprinkle of red onions but no dressing. Kinda bland. The 3-kebab plate I ordered came out smelling terrific and the rice was fabulously fragrant but the koftka was dry and over cooked as was the chicken kebab. The lamb kebab was tender and tasty however. The hummus was beautiful to behold but was sadly flavorless. It's like they forgot to season this batch when making it. A band began to set up prior us leaving, so perhaps it was good that we left. I really wanted to like this place but regrettably I cannot recommend it.
