47. Half Chicken
Jerry L.

I love middle eastern food and I love trying new places. So I gave this place a shot. When I pulled up I thought it was going to be a greasy spoon style middle eastern food which I don't like...luckily it wasn't. The server barely spoke English which made asking questions about the food difficult. I ordered the half chicken platter. When the food arrived I was psyched because it looked delicious but when I ate it, it was mediocre. The rice was cooked well but lacked flavor. The chicken had a weird flavor that I didn't enjoy and it was overcooked and dry. I had to choke it down to eat it. I was pretty let down by the whole experience and I definitely can't recommend this place and I won't be coming back.

Still on the hunt for the best baba ghanoush in the metro Denver area, my wonderful MIL and I took the long drive out to Grape Leaves restaurant on Friday. Excellent decision because Grape Leaves rocks. Some of the best baba ghanoush and falafel in Aurora. And the place rivals Yahya's and the Damacus Grill for some of the best Middle Eastern food in the entire Denver metro area. Liked the staff and loved the food. When you're looking for some delicious vegetarian selections don't forget to try out Grape Leaves. (On the next visit I will report back to you on their lamb, beef and chicken kababs:).

3. Gyro Sandwich Combo
Nora M.

My sister and I made a stop at Grape Leaves on the way to Monument from the airport after reading so many reviews. Thank you, reviewers! This Mediterranean food is legit, and the service is the best! We started with a creamy, delicious, gratis hummus with pita and asked for their homemade hot sauce. Yummmm. I had the chicken shawarma plate with rice from the owner's recommendation. My sister had a gyro with fries. Both came with a small salad with vinaigrette dressing, and all of the food was delicious! I thought I would save some for the next day's lunch, but that did not happen! The chicken and the gyro meat were tender and seasoned perfectly. Who raves about rice and French fries? Evidently I do because both were incredible. The rice was light, fluffy, beautiful and tasty! We didn't have room for dessert, but next time we will plan better. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Grape Leaves! I highly recommend this restaurant. ~Nora

We were visiting Denver and on the fence about dining here. (We just got turned away by Great Greek, go read that review if you have time!) When viewing the restaurant from the outside, you may think it's a little sketch, but most restaurants like that have amazing food! Lol When we walked in, there were two parties in the dining room. The chef/owner came to greet us. He was really friendly. They brought out salads with a yummy dressing made with oils and vegetables (carrots) it seemed very healthy. They also brought out little bowls of sides, including a few that looked like a slaw, beets, and tzatziki. We ordered the hummus, it was so pretty and creamy! I got the chicken shawarma plate with rice. Portions were very generous! My husband got the chicken shawarma quesadilla and when I tell you that's probably the BEST quesadilla I've ever had in LIFE!!! In all my life! LOL it was so cheesy and flavorful, I almost wish I had ordered that instead!

28. Lamb Kabob Plate

The food is very delicious. The staff are very friendly, excellent customer service. Really clean and nice ambiance.

Don't be deterred by the humble looking exterior - this place is awesome! The grape leaves are seared, and so flavorful. The hummus is creamy and the baklava is unbelievable! Hussein was a wonderful host!

28. Lamb Kabob Plate
Gemini T.

Delicious Arab food and sooooo flavorful! I wish I had taken pictures of the grape leaves we had ordered as appetizers and the pita bread + humus we were given on top of everything ordered. We had ordered the chicken shawarma saj + lamb kabob plate, which are pictured below. Yummy!!! It's probably my top preferred restaurants around Denver, currently

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.

Located in the Source hotel on the 2nd floor. Almost impossible to get parking in the attached…read moreparking lot. Try to find street parking and walk a little. Service was OK. 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.
