This is not a fancy joint, but it dishes out outrageous falafel , hummus , and shawarma and it is open late into the night. Baklava is a highlight here. [Eater 38 Member]

The combos are a great value , but I think the gyro meat is the best! Ohhh and the humus is pretty tasty indeed..

Jeremy Slick

Aside from limited parking , don't let the dive look scare you off. This place has amazing sheesh ta'ouk and gyros . Definitely try the meat combo plate if you want a little of everything.

Natalie

Super tiny restaurant but don't let its looks fool you, the food is amazing here. Their gyro meet and humus have to be some of the best I've ever had!

This place has the best Middle Eastern food in Denver! Order the Kallayah with half hummus , half rice . It's a lot of food, so you'll have leftovers.

Rachel Higa

I loooove this place! It's open late and a good place to get food after leaving the bars and clubs. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely try a pastry while you're there.

This DU hangout with its ramshackle patio doesn't look like much, but it's one of Denver's most beloved restaurants . Read more

The desserts and food are awesome! The only thing that bothered me is that sometimes you have to wait for a long time to be sited because the place is always crowded

This is my favorite fast food Middle Eastern restaurant to eat at and they are open very late.

Delicious and cheap Mediterranean food . Some of the most intricate desserts I've ever seen at a Mediterranean place, too.

A neighborhood staple. Jerusalem hits the spot at all hours of the day. 10/10 people, food, place.

Moonlight Basin

Sometimes you just need a falafel at 2 in the morning. This is the place. Tiny, jam-packed, great food, and they keep serving it up all night long. #SIA11

Not as great as it used to be - university park cafe is better but they do have great Greek deserts !

Christopher Gibson

Delicious Chicken Shawarmah

Julia Monahan

I'm a huge fan of this place. Just don't expect the nicest wait staff after midnight. They've been dealing with drunk idiots so cut them a break and be polite, it'll get you a lot faster service.

John Riecke

Different and open always.
