got a stuffed pita with basmati rice, falafel, tzatziki, lettuce and some red onion. soooo delish

Chicken bowl
Jason R.

I tried this spot via the To good to go app and was pleasantly surprised. Got the chicken bowl which included seasoned rice, chicken and a cucumber relish. It also came with a side of a Mediterranean dressing. The chicken is flavorful and decently cooked. I came in later in the evening and it was a little dry but still delicious. I'm pretty sure it's all dark meat that they used. The rice has nice color and a rich flavor. The cucumber was a nice fresh touch to lighten up a heavy bowl. Without the dressing the chicken is overly dry but the sauce was a great addition. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was welcoming and polite. The prices seemed a little excessive for what you get, but through the app it was a great deal. 7.5/10

To go rice bowl

I got the chicken bowl that was 15 dollars and some change after taxes. It absolutely was not worth the price. The portions are tiny, the quality is low and the rice is awful. I could count my tiny pieces of chicken I got 6 pieces. Much less than any other place Iv been to and much more in price. The food just did not taste great. I finished the meal still hungry. Which is never the case with the competitors. I can't believe I could get a pizza for the same price and eat half and be full, yet this place I had to cook a whole new meal after eating this to be full. Another thing that is aggravating is they have the machine that begs for a tip. I should be tipped for even coming here. I will never come back and never suggest this place to any of my friends.

Excellent service and a very clean store!! We would go back. Friendly servers and the gyro was amazing!!!

Thanks for the 3 tiny pieces of chicken . . . . I ordered a plate for delivery and clearly they believe they can cheat people when they aren't there to order. I paid 23.68 for 3 small pieces of dried out chicken, a couple strands of lettuce, a bunch of rice and some cucumbers. Was starving after I ate it. Total scamming restaurant who cheats out their customers. Done with you. Don't give these crooks your business.

Things can be a little backed up here if there's a line but the staff makes up for it by how sweet they are! Love that falafel is made fresh when you order. Great spot to grab quick to go!

Asli Mediterranean Grill is easily one of our favorite Mediterranean restaurants in the Denver…read morearea. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Everything we've tried has been excellent, portions are generous, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is also a big part of why we like coming here. It feels warm, clean, modern, and comfortable, and it works just as well for a casual lunch as it does for a nice dinner with family or friends. What I really like about Asli is that it feels authentic and consistent. The grilled meats are full of flavor, the sides are fresh, and everything tastes like it was made with care. Asli is definitely one of those local places that deserves more attention. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and a restaurant we keep coming back to. Highly recommend Asli Mediterranean Grill if you're looking for great Mediterranean food in the Denver area.

This place is definitely overhyped. Here is how my takeaway experience today went…read more Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by one of the young men upfront. The restaurant inside was quite clean and well-maintained. I liked the simplicity in the dining interior. This was a nice start. And yet.... The menu - Quite small and limited. The laminated menus were at the register so I glanced at it. As I didn't see much on one side, I flipped it to see if there was anything on the back. There was nothing. I first thought that I would order a few things from the appetizer section but it didn't seem like it would be the most economical way so I turned my attention to the "The Real Deal": entree section. And oh boy, everything is/was so expensive unless you would order as a pita. For instance, the Shawarma Chicken is $21 as a pita, $25 as a baguette and $32 as a plate; the Ribeye Skewers is $34 as a pita, $37 as a baguette and whopping $42 as a plate. What?? Seriously?? After seeing these insanely high prices, I had no choice but to go with one of the cheapest items: Sabich (plate). I had no clue what Sabich was so I asked the young guy what that came with. And he said it's eggplant and eggs. Okay, sounds good I thought. I am a plate person so I went with that and it is/was $26. I'm not trying to be stingy here and yet after tax and tip, the total was $35. This is like ordering a good-portioned plate with some meat in it. At that point, I sure was crossing my fingers for the quality to be excellent or at least good. Sabich wasn't bad. It's a vegetarians plate where well-seasoned carrots, purple cabbage, eggplant and (hard-boiled) eggs (2) were placed in a round container. It came with a deliciously dense pita bread and oh my lord, French fries!! I have seen it where one of the accompaniments in a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean plate were French fries at least a few times in the past and this is a big no no or turn off for me. Why French fries?? Can they not put tabbouleh or hummus or something more closely associated with the very cuisine?? Or am I being picky or snobby here? As soon as I got to my car, I immediately started digging into the food (I had a yoga class to attend so hence the late lunch in my car.) Sabich is/was "okay" at its best. As I have already stated, the pita bread was delicious. Also, the two sauces that came with the dish were quite decent (I especially liked the yellow one) but other than that, this wasn't a dish I could rave about it. And the portion size wasn't that generous either. And I paid $35 for all of this? I feel like I wasted my money on something that was simply and painfully overpriced. Ugh.... I don't think I will return to this establishment. The only reason why I am giving this place a 3-star review is because of the pleasant young man upfront. His warm smile and meaningful "thank you" when he handed me my food were the only memorable things I could think of.

We were the first ones in and beat the dinner crowd. The lentil soup was different than what I'm used to since it was blended. It was a delightful version! I got the Amir platter which was seriously enough food for 3 people. The chicken kebab was absolutely delicious and everything was just perfection. It comes with a pita the size of your head. Our waiter kept checking back despite the rush. What a wonderful place

The menu has many classics including gyros, shawarma, kabobs, and the fresh pita bread is a home run. Chicken tika masala 9/10 The pictures can't describe how creamy the sauce was. So rich in color, deep with flavor and the filled with chicken chunks. Of course, you have to dip the fresh baked pita bread into this to appreciate how amazing it was. Gyros 9/10 The gyro plate was more of a platter loaded with beef and lamb. The spices on the meat were so delicious and cooked to perfection. Every bite was balanced with the coolness from the hummus and lightness of the rice. We were treated to a sample of the Turkish coffee. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised how light and aromatic it was. Not bitter or burnt.

I had an amazing dining experience at Safta!…read more The wine list is well curated, both the BTG and bottle list was impressive. We chose an Areni wine, the Yacobian Hobbs. I was excited to try after watching a documentary on the Somm channel about that specific winemaker. The wine was delicious. Additionally, I was so happy to see small boutique wine from the Santa Barbara area like Amevive and A Tribute to Grace. Our server Yvonne guided our menu choices thoughtfully and enhanced our experience with excellent service. We started with watermelon feta salad with baby cilantro, walnuts, and harissa oil. The watermelon was cool, sweet, and crisp and the flavors balanced perfectly. If you are a pickle lover you must get the pickles. I think I will be dreaming of them. The pickled cabbage, okra, califlower and snap peas were just the best! The pitas were puffy, but not hollow, and warm. There was also an olive oil dipping sauce that complemented everything. Star of the show for me was the forgaged mushrooms and hummus. These were the most delicious mushrooms and snoothest hummus I have ever experienced, and I think there might be magicians in the kitchen. Our other dishes were cabbage and eggplant. Both taste explosions, done masterfully with a sauce, color and texture. This food is truly incredible, highly recommend. I am in Denver for work, anytime I travel back to Denver I will for sure return to Safta.

Coffee was fine but they gave such a large cup and it got cold right away and we felt bad for asking for refills when we still had a good amount left but cold. Lines weren't bad at all on a Sat morning. Basic American fruit/yogurt, bread, pastries. Deviled eggs. Prime rib was good The different types of sauces like baba ghounash, hummus, etc-- those were all really good mixed together with pita bread. Mediterranean salad was good. Cabbage was meh this time. No honeycomb this time :( :( :( I did not like ANY of the desserts. Neither did my partner. So I just had normal fruit/yogurt for dessert which seemed wasteful. Everything else was kind of just meh to me. Not worth the $65/person (with tip and tax). They also include a 5% surcharge on the bill.
