We ordered the chicken shawarma, gyro, falafel with hummus, and baklava, and I'd happily order all of it again. The chicken shawarma was my favorite. The chicken was really flavorful, the garlic sauce was delicious, and the fresh pita tied everything together. I probably could've eaten an extra piece of pita by itself. The portions were also bigger than I expected, especially for the price. It's always nice finding a family-owned restaurant that clearly puts a lot of care into the food. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

The first few orders were ready so quickly! We realized we really backed up the kitchen and should have done it as a group... but everything was so delicious! I got a Shawarma Plate. Fresh and balanced flavors. Someone got Dolmas as a side, and those were tasty as well. I wish they had more photos of dishes on their website, but it really seemed like you couldn't go wrong. I'd be interested in checking out the actual restaurant since I wasn't the one who did the pickup. Next time!

Gyro plate 9/10 - It's always my favorite dish when I see on a menu. The meat was crispy and when you dip it in the hummus and rice, wow! The salad and greens added the lightness to balance everything out. We each also got a drink to cool off. She got the fresh mango juice and I got the lemon with mint. Both were 10/10. Freshly made and tasted amazing.

I was excited to try after watching a documentary on the Somm channel about that specific winemaker. The wine was delicious. 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.

So unexpected, refreshing, and delicious. This isn't just a place to grab something to eat--it's an experience. Go hungry, order a bunch of things, share everything, and experiment. Definitely a must-try.

We got the grape leaves, baba ghanoush, and meat combo plate. The grape leaves were (3/5) because i liked how vinegary they were but the rice was a tad overcooked and I found a hair rolled in one of mine....... Baba (4.5/5) because it had a great flavor! Meat combo (3.8/5) because the chicken was a bit hard and dry but the lamb kebab was good and so were all the sides it comes with. The chicken just didn't quite have the charcoal flavor that i love. Overall, I'd consider coming back because i love supporting small, local, businesses. But our total was quite pricey to find a hair in the food and for hard chicken.

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.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a disappointment…read more The highlights were the lentil soup and the hummus. Both were fresh, flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The chicken kebabs had an unexpected sweetness that just didn't work for me. The side salad looked wilted and didn't seem very fresh, and even the dressing was overly sweet. The rice was bland and had almost no flavor. The biggest letdown was the garlic sauce--it tasted like it was made with mayonnaise instead of a traditional garlic sauce, and I found it unpleasant. The overall atmosphere didn't help. The restaurant didn't seem particularly clean, the décor and ambiance felt like they had been thrown together, and the employees came across as disconnected rather than welcoming or engaged. I can easily overlook a place that's been put together on a budget if the food is outstanding, but in this case, it simply wasn't. Aside from the lentil soup and hummus, I didn't enjoy the meal. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

We also ordered the lahmacun pizza which is a fun take on one of my favorite dishes. I recommend trying this restaurant out plus there is a delicious bakery next door with lots of middle eastern pastries and ice cream. I have no pictures sadly as everything was devoured so quickly.
