Standard gyro with some good flavor.  Nothing out of this world but it was good.
Alex L.

We were immediately greeted when we walked in. The vibe was nice and felt like walking into someone's home with the sofas against the walk and an older feel. I felt great being greeted by the nice lady at the front. Our food came out on the slower side given we were the only people in the entire place. I ordered your standard gyro and it was actually good along with the salad. However, we were never given an update on food or offered refills on our water. I may go back to get something to-go but doubt I will dine in again. I hope that changes for future patrons.

9. Hummus

I was traveling all day and absolutely too tired to cook. Postmates to the rescue! I ordered the chicken kabob and a side of hummus. The kabob was flavored perfectly, it was cooked just slightly too long, but still delicious. The texture of the hummus was perfect, but I think they forgot to add lemon and salt. Once that was fixed, it was perfect. I'm hoping it was just an oversight and I'm happy to order from this restaurant again in the future.

We attended an open house with a Mediterranean theme over the weekend. The last minute came, and we weren't ready, so we ordered from here. The sign still says Mecca Grill, but the ownership has obviously changed. Our chicken shawarma with rice and garlic sauce were tasty and popular, but the hostess (with too much food on her hands was sending everyone back with their food) kept the hummus! Find this little gem back near the alley, but know it's worth the look!

Chicken Shawarma

I've been hunting Denver for the best halaal chicken wrap. I'm used to the kind obtainable from roadside trailers. Austin had some pretty good ones. I had an errand to run, in the Cheesman Park area, then afterwards, I had a hankerin for halaal, and Mecca Grill was the nearest halaal place. The interior of the place was respectably decorated, and my server was friendly. I asked for a chicken wrap, but the closest thing they had was chicken shawarma with a pita, veggies, hummus, and rice. Close enough. The food was quite good. I'm always happy to see high-quality chicken at a halaal place. It can be a gamble, with some of the other places I've been.

This place is so delicious, I ate here the only two nights I am in Denver this week,the kofta kabob platter ,last night and absolutely delicious. The owner is super cool and loves his craft, as evidenced in the end result.

This place is THE BEST VEGETARIAN optional food in Denver. Possibly this side of the country for fresh Lebanese food. Phenomenally priced with an array of different dishes perfectly spiced and seasoned. (Nothing a baby can't handle on an outing.) Your taste buds will thank you for visiting. Chicken and lamb and beef were great too. BEST BABAGHANOUJ Ever!

Mecca Grill ~ March 5th 2010
Riza H. C.

FRIDAY MARCH 5th 2010 : A couple of weeks before the event, I went to Mecca Grill for a visit in order to make a reservation in person. On the actual day, when I arrived at about 18:45hrs ish, our table was ready for our group as part as a Lebanese Dinner Galore thru (I.C.E) meetup. We were given the menu and water promptly. To me, the menu or what they offer is kind of limited. But, the price of the food they offer is reasonable. By 19:00hrs some of my members order some Appetizers such as : * Hummus * Falafel * Tabouli 19:15hrs, the Appetizers came for the group. About this time, we were ready to make our order for our Main Entrees. At 19:40hrs, since I order the Lamb Shank, my order came with the Hummus with Pita bread. Since I have been starving, I ate my Hummus and Pita bread while waiting for my Main Entree to be ready. By 19:47hrs, the first Entree came for the group. If I could recall correctly, here are the Entrees of what my friends ordered that evening : * Hummus With Shawarma ~ this entree, my fren opt for Chicken. * 2 orders of the Meat Combo. * Gyros Plate ~ this entree comes with Slices of Beef and Lamb. * Falafel Sandwich * Chicken Sultani * Chicken Shawarma * Chicken Kabob About 20:00hrs then my Main Entree arrived. My main Entree was A-OK. I feel there werent any much flavor and my friends agreed to this statement. I think I am spoiled with the food I have had at another establishment sometime back in September 2009. To my better judgement, when I order my Lamb Shank, I order TO GO BOX of MEAT COMBO for Hubs. Since we are the biggest group that evening, it takes awhile for all the food to be ready. I want to support this establishment, so that is why I choose to bring my friends here for dinner but they fall short in certain areas. A little let down of disappointment. Perhaps the service could differ if we came here on a weekday night, instead of a FRIDAY. So if you want to bring a BIG group, please have LOTS of patience, since the service and the food will take a while to be ready. Above anything else, its the COMPANY that counts that evening for me. When I bring home the MEAT COMBO for Hubs, Hubs did not like it at all. Its pretty bland for him too. I also purchase some BAKLAVAS TO GO. Man, this thing is MIGHTY TASTY, and its slightly expensive for $2 a piece. Mecca Grill, I hope you can prosper in many years to come. I know its tough to open a restaurant in this difficult time. Hence I rate this establishment between 2.5 to 3 stars.

I'm pretty unhappy with my order via Postmates tonight. Specifically requested no lettuce, received a gyro with no cucumbers, no onions and a bunch of wilted warm lettuce. Tried to call the restaurant 4 times, phone never answered and no voicemail. It's really irritating because this happens all the time and Postmates blames the restaurant and the restaurant (if the ever answer) blames Postmates. I'm tired of it. I'll take my business elsewhere.

1. Lamb and Beef Shawarma
Lissie P.

Amazing food - we ordered the Lamb Shank and Shwarma. Shank was juicy and tender; Shwarma was fresh and light. Hummus was smooth and flavorful. Tried various Mediterranean restaurants in the Wash Park and University area, Mecca going to the top of my list now!!

I was happy to find this hidden gem near downtown. They have very good food! I've never had Lebanese food before. It was a lot like your typical Greek food, but with a little more spices. Good portions and fast, friendly service. Their dolmas were the best I've ever had. I couldn't figure out if the falafels were gluten free (he couldn't understand what i was asking), but they look like they're not. Salad was yummy. Excellent yogurt sauce and seasoned basmati. The gyros were a bit dry. I'll definitely be back to try more items, but I'd say this is my favorite gyro place in Denver. It's a good place for kids. We went there at 6:30 on a Saturday night, and I usually avoid taking my kids out to dinner at prime time. The restaurant was empty though. It seems like everybody else was getting their food to go. It's a pretty nice little place for a mellow, casual dinner.

I went to Safta's brunch with my family, and I was skeptical that it was a buffet, but I'm so happy…read moreit was. The buffet allowed me to try everything - and it's nothing like what you're picturing. There was constantly warm, fresh pita to try the hummus, whipped feta and tabbouleh. There was constantly fresh fruit out with honey yogurt that was to die for. While there was a ton of meats and cheeses to try from, the star of the show was the falafel. You can't miss trying it, it was the best falafel I've ever had. The vibes were great for brunch, and I highly recommend going for buffet style if you want to try a bunch of things on the menu.

No wonder this place is hard to get a reservation at and Michelin recognized. It is stellar!…read more The hotel it's in also has nice vibes. The restaurant has this nice open feeling to it with a full bar (you can order off the full menu if a solo or pair dining) and then plenty of tables. I recommend coming with a larger group if you can so you can try lots of things. Servers are nice and attentive. Obviously you have to try various hummus plates. The foraged mushroom and brussels sprouts were my favorite. I especially loved the jalapenos on the brussels sprouts one. The hummus itself was creamy and rich and the pita they bring is warm and fresh. The tabbouleh was fine but nothing spectacular and it says it has avocado in it but I didn't detect it. I love muhammara and theirs did not disappoint. The pickled vegetables were nice but I also love pickled anything. Absolutely make sure to get the bright green falafels. Probably my favorite of the night. Perfectly crispy exterior with a soft warm center that I'd eat over and over again. We ordered the duck but I was quite full so did not taste it. The only reason I'm giving 4/5 stars is the scallops were incredibly underwhelming and quite bland. The scallops themselves were cooked fine but no flavor and the pomegranate sauce didn't add much. There desserts were also just so-so.

The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The food is fantastic and the portions are generous. Prices are very reasonable. We shared the Baba Ganoush to start. This is pureed, baked eggplant.

The presentation was gorgeous with the puree spread out beautifully on a large dish, topped with olives, paprika, parsley, and a very generous dollop of delicious olive oil. An outstanding version of this dish. We received a large plate of very fresh pita triangles to go with the baba ganoush. These were great. We definitely used them to scrape every speck of eggplant off that platter! We both ordered the Gyro Plate. The gyro meat was very authentic, extremely tender, and very flavorful. The plate included a large tower of savory rice, a rich tzatziki sauce, a nice side of silky hummus, some pickled vegetables, and more pita. Another delicious offering and a huge portion. We also had soup as the entrees come with soup or salad. My friend tried the lentil soup and said it was flavorful and tasty. I had the tomato soup which was hardy and richly-flavored. This was a great meal. There's a pastry case with a choice of many Middle Eastern desserts.

This venue, as such, reminds me of "East West Grill - Arlington," near Clarendon, in Arlington, VA, just outside Washington, D.C., which my Pakistani-American BFF showed me, over 20+ years ago, around 2005, when we met, and where I took my Sierra Leone-American BFF in 2018, given she's also Halal.
