But for me, for the day that I went, I had excellent service, and excellent food. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Denver. Nice location right on the mall, across from the courthouse. Honestly, I have no notes... See you next time!

You pick your order- a plate comes with 2 sides and boy! They're awesome- baba ganoush and tabuli salad and grilled chicken over salad. It comes with pita bread. What's amazing was they also have gf pita so hubby got the gyros with falafel and baba ganoush. I am just beyond happy with the healthy and very tasty meal and atmosphere. Everything was clean and well kept. Love love love!

My only recommendation is that you get to Golden Falafel ASAP to experience the joy of a perfectly prepared falafel! Crispy exterior with a melt in your mouth interior... packed with flavor! Just a wonderful experience all around!

UPDATE AGAIN (8/24/26): they're actually still open. I was over there again and decided to check…read moreone last time, and what do you know, the owner was there and I talked to him briefly. He said he was indeed open for business, and he had just gone to Morocco for a while. So I'm giving a one-star deduction for no mention of this anywhere, no signs on the door, no website updates, nothing. That's why I thought they had closed for good. But I'm glad they are back and I will be too, since I enjoyed the food when I visited previously. Better communication would be a very good thing though.

I find their meats are tender and well seasoned, even the seafood (try the shrimp!) They're very generous with the saffron rice which I like. And the portion is healthy without being overboard. Since it's a family run business, the staff is very friendly and would be happy to answer any questions.

This is a great hidden gem in a Lakewood strip mall! We ordered a couple of the platters for the…read moretable to share. They were served with a cucumber tomato salad with a deliciously light dressing. This salad, the tabbouleh and falafel were highlights for me. The falafel was fried fresh so it was light and fluffy inside but crispy outside. The shawarma and gyro meat were tasty too. My only complaint was that I wish there was more cauliflower on the vegetable plate. The decor is fun with vibrant couch cushions for the booths. We noticed most people came to pickup takeout orders, but service was good for our dine-in experience. I look forward to returning to try the shawarma pita and hopefully learn more about the business!

Babas falafel is where it's at! As a food truck lover, I get super stoked when I come across one…read moreI've never heard of. So when I saw Baba's at the South Denver Beer Fest I knew I just had to try it. They had a limited menu going on but it works, I got the falafel cone and they asked if I wanted it regular or spicy and I went with spicy. It was up in a few minutes and while they were making it, I chatted with the guy and girl running the truck. We talked all things food and social media and they even have me some suggestions on where to find legit middle eastern food in the area (excluding their truck of course) , superfriendly folks. And the falafel cone? Omg, it was an instant mouthgasm in the form of a cone! The falafels had perfect consistency and flavor and the tahini was smooth and rich. They made it spicy and it had just enough spice to accent the flavors but not overtake it. I was a sad panda when I finished it. If you see them around, definitely check it out and get some balls in your mouth!!

Only tried them once and already love it. First, it's all vegan! And even if you aren't, it doesn't…read morematter; it's just damn good food. Their falafel is excellent--very flavorful and delicious. And they have come up with some very inventive ways to use it. For example, they have created a falafeldilla and nachos,both using hummus & falafel. I got the "nachos," and the spicy sauce they use is soooo good. Plus, the people are nice & friendly, which is always important. I will definitely be paying them another visit in the near future. I can see me becoming a regular customer. If you'd like to know where to find them, check out their website for their schedule.

The pita tasted nice as well, but it did not hold in the contents well. They probably should've sliced and stuffed it rather than just wrapping it up taco style. It was very messy and I ended up scooping up about half the filling off of my plate with a fork. Still very good though and reasonably priced. The vibe in the restaurant is pretty cool but nothing too special. It kind of felt more like an island theme to me rather than middle eastern, but it was very subtle. I enjoyed this meal very much and would highly recommend it!

To start, the hummus, pita, and htipiti are a must, obviously! And the za'atar-spiced fries are seriously addicting -- I could eat an entire order myself. Both salads are fantastic and are the perfect addition to the meal. But for the main course... DO NOT leave without ordering the za'atar roasted chicken, bavette steak, and wood-fired carrots. You will be missing out if you do! Every single time we've gone, everything has been cooked to absolute perfection, and the flavors are immaculate. Honestly, I'd lick my plate clean.

A few of our…read morefriends mentioned not liking the food or their experience but we decided to dine here and brought parents. We got a few drinks and placed an order for apps and mains together since it would be easier. And normally you would expect drinks would come first followed by apps and then mains. We got the apps, drinks and mains all together which was a bit odd because our table had no more place. Our server did not ask us and we thought it was understood. The lamb kofte, hummus and mandu dumplings were great! Their pita is fresh and piping hot, unlike other pitas I've had which was a big positive! The main dish my mom got was the carrot dish because she is a vegetarian, it was such a lazy dish! Just extra charred carrots on a bed of chickpeas and sauce - I expected more! Everything lamb was grilled to perfection and tasted really good. The falafel was very tasty as well. Stick to meat options if you decide to dine here. I wish they had a few more vegetarian options in the mains. We decided to skip desserts here because they did not sound appetizing at all. Service was alright. FYI - they will add a 20% service charge irrespective of your party size.
