    Mixed Kaboob plate
    Noel J.

    Now yall know u love my Arabic food especially with me being Lebanese so I'm critical when I go to these restaurants. This one is also a gem and was so amazing. I got a chicken shawarma along with a mixed grill plate. Everything and I mean everything was perfect down to the seasonings that reminded me of home! The owners were Lebanese as well and the most friendliest people and accommodating service I ever had. If you're ever in the area you definitely have to eat here

    Menu (page two)

    I had kept seeing this restaurant whenever I drove on Colorado Blvd for years. This row of middle eastern restaurants had always intrigued me so finally today, I made a quick stop to get me some vegetarian food for lunch. Its entrance is quite grandiose compared to other restaurants' but once you're inside you'll be amazed at its simple/clean interior. I kind of saw a lady cleaning the floors/tables while I was taking some photos outside; that same lady greeted me at the ordering counter. I sensed some warmth coming from her; thank you!! Their menu is simple, too. In a way, it was easy for me to decide. As soon as I spotted what I was craving for (something vegetarian), I wasted no time to order it. The prices are kind of high for entrees at this restaurant though ($19 and above.) And it appears that they serve the same things throughout the day so there appeared to be no separate menu for lunch or dinner. Even Hummus plates are $18. Sandwiches and salads are decently priced however. It took them good 15 minutes before my food was ready. This was okay; I wasn't in a huge hurry. I tried not to have any expectations but was slightly hoping that the quality of the food would be top notch(because $26 after tax/tip was a bit too high for a quick lunch plate.) As soon as I got home, I started my lunch right away. When I opened the container of my veggie plate, I was shocked to see some French fries lying on top of everything. How weird!! I've never seen a middle eastern food decorated by French fries so I kind of thought what the need was for that (lol!!) Is this necessary?? Without further ado, I started digging into the main ingredients of the plate. Falafels, grape leaves, hummus, greens and rice were all beautifully placed inside the container and they all tasted really good. Their falafels are probably the best tasting ones I've ever had. While I was still enjoying the nice meal, I still couldn't get over the unnecessary French fries. Don't get me wrong; I have nothing against French fries. I just think that they don't belong in this middle eastern food (lol) is all!! Overall, this place does serve good quality Lebanese food. One thing I enjoy eating at a middle eastern or Lebanese restaurant is (stir fried) eggplant This restaurant doesn't serve it (I don't think.) I don't know how long it's been since the last time they updated their menu but it'd nice to see some eggplant dish added to it in the future (that is my little request/suggestion.)

    I am sorry to disagree with the other Yelp reviewers but the food here was pretty meh. Plus you have no water...except Costco bottles you charge for? Really ? Highlights: Warm pita with Hummus....excellent. Lowlights: Everything else. Really so so falafel sandwich. I much prefer a traditional one not this burrito type thing. The plates were sort of a mish mash of stuff. Jalapenos on rice in Lebanese food? like wtf. This whole shopping mall has several other restaurants that are pretty darn good....gyro town for instance.

    Chicken and beef
    Hector B.

    Nice little spot for a good shawerma. For my first visit, I tried both the chicken and beef, both were tasty and hot the spot. Service was quick and simple. It was nice to sit outside, even though the traffic was loud, but the sun was hot!

    Dolma
    Laila F.

    We went to Amira grill after an Uber driver recommended it- we were absolutely blown away. Best falafel I have ever had, incredible dolma. Friends got the chicken and beef kabab and also thought theirs were incredible. Service was wonderful. Ambiance was great as well. Could not recommend this place enough.

    Lamb shank meal
    Wilbert T.

    I've never had lamb shank before it also came with, rice, hummus, garlic spread and yes a couple of fries. I don't know if it was on the menu, but I asked the person at the counter what she would recommend. I should've gotten names because the customer service was so warm and friendly. Oh my this was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Go here order this dish if you want a very special meal. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Do it you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Vegetarian combo, the in house baked pita was replaced by store bought pita.
    Clement C.

    Amira Grill used to be Amira Bakery. It was on Evans and moved to the current location on Colorado sometime last year. First time to the new location, the décor was new and clean, not a hole in the wall like to old location. I used to go to Amira Bakery because they had freshly in house baked pita that puffed up with a ball with the meal. This time around, it was a disappointment because the freshly baked pita was replaced by store bought pita which knocked the meal down a notch. I had the vegetarian combo, it was okay, same as other Middle Eastern places. I miss the fresh pita baked in house.

    Gyro Sandwich

    I was so excited for some grape leaves I ended up eating 3 before I took the picture! So friendly and clean restaurant! Took a little bit for the food to come out but every seat was taken when we arrived!

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.

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.

I won't say which, but boy, was it a letdown. The falafel were like little hockey pucks and the pita were like cardboard, flat and stale-tasting. I didn't think you could screw up pita. Only the hummus was passable. All this to say that I have been SPOILED by moving within walking distance of the Byblos in Alamo Placita, which is where a little taco place used to be. It's in a sweet little spot with patio seating on the corner of 4th and Corona, but the draw is really the food. I can't vouch for the meat dishes as a vegan, but WOW is their pita soft, fresh and flavorful, and they replenish it readily. Their hummus is excellent, their baba ghanoush is the best I've had since leaving the greater Boston area (with its abundance of outstanding ethnic restaurants) and the eggplant moussaka is fantastic. Plus they put this fully vegan cream dressing on the garden salad that is out of this world. Byblos has completely ruined me for a lot of other restaurants. As I'm writing this I think I've talked myself into going there for lunch!

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.
