After walking around the Stanley Marketplace with my coworker friends on a recent Monday, we decided to sit down and have lunch at Boychik and it did not disappoint! We decided on sharing a hummus plate with both veggies and pita to start and it was delicious. I had the Greek Salad with chicken as my entree and the others had a chicken shawarma plate and a salmon plate. Everything is fresh and colorful and the portions are large and everything is plated beautifully. It's a modern atmosphere with good energy and service is attentive. I see there are locations in Boulder and Vail and also that catering is available. If I had a Boychik near me, I'd absolutely consider having them cater any of my personal events. If you're in the Stanley Marketplace area, don't miss a meal at Boychik! read more

Boychik - Hummus appetizer with pita and veggies - Salad Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Service was great. Friendly and attentive. The food, for me, was ok. I had the falafel hummus. I found the falafel kind of oily. I've definitely had better. The hummus was good- but didn't blow me away. W Ed also shared the whipped feta. I really loved the olive topping. The pita was soft and warm, which what you want! The space is nice and clean. I liked it, but would choose another option when I'm back at the Stanley. read more

Bar program: curated, interesting and tasty cocktails made by a happy bartender Food program: so good. Started with 3 dips; don't miss the Urfa spiced nuts; social menu lamb arancini's were out of this world. After all that, 2 of us shared the chicken shawarma plate and we're not disappointed. Fun ambiance; friendly and just right attentive service; all supporting high quality food and drink. Hummus that was silky smooth. Muhammara that was the right amount of spicy and nutty. Quinoa tabbouleh? Genius. Best modern Mediterranean I've had in the US. read more

We stopped in for lunch and had a delicious meal! Staff was friendly and attentive and I loved the variety of fresh food. I got the salmon bowl and it was quite delicious. I loved that it came with hummus and a salad so you felt like you were getting to try a little bit of everything. I also loved the interior decor and overall bright and airy vibe of the place. I would gladly dine here again! read more

Very Americanized Shawarma - I'm not saying that's bad, I'm just saying that not my jam! The chicken shawarma lacked flavors and salt and the lamb shawarma was alright. I did enjoy the zaatar fries and the drinks out here. I got the No jito and my husband got the pomegranate spritz - both were good. Service was good and quick. Skip this place if you're looking for authentic shawarma flavors! read more

What a find! Boychik has an interesting name that didn't give me much of an indication what I'd be eating, but a friend who knows food picked it so I knew it would be good. First off, the restaurant space is beautiful, decorated in a classy elegant way. It is spacious and while it's a bit noisy, we had a nice corner of the restaurant where we could gather and hear each other better than probably sitting in the middle of the room. We started with the Tel Aviv Caesar salad which was so fresh with tangy parm, crispy crouton pita chunks, crunchy pistachios and a beautiful fried egg crowning the top. We gobbled that up. Next we shared the lamb shawarma bowl and it was fantastic. The hummus and fluffy pita filled me up and even though I shared this dish and the salad with a friend, we each had enough left to take home for a snack the next day. Small, but good wine list! Good service, nice ambiance. I will be back! read more

You can either sit down and enjoy the light airy restaurant or take it to go and sit in the Stanley main area. We did the later. Wow, Boychik was a refreshing change from the quick service food choices at most Denver food halls. The hummus was smooth, pita hot, and chicken shawarma had a bit of a kick but in a flavorful, I want more kind of way. The baba ganoush was good but nothing to write home about. I would love to try a few other dishes such as the falafels since the staff told us it is fried fresh when ordered. read more

Boychik - Chicken Shawarma Hummus - Salad Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I remembered sampling them at a Yelp event when they were getting ready to open up their Stanley Marketplace location. It was so memorable I decided to come back with friends when they officially opened. It's been a hot minute but this review is way overdue. Boychik has seriously THE BEST PITA in town, IMO. Their pita - fluffy, soft, chewy and warm.... The soft and chewy is what I'm addicted to. Such a different way to do pita when compared to any other Mediterranean style food. I always go for the chicken shawarma plate and their grilled potatoes - chef's kiss. Hummus is creamy and all the veggie dishes are so fresh and refreshing. Service has been consistently great and the dining room is always clean, nicely decorated and bright. Boychik has become the reason why I come to Stanley Marketplace. Get an extra pita if you're a bread lover, you will not regret it! read more

Stopped in on a sunny Sunday afternoon with the hubs and baby for a beverage and snack. It was quiet so we had no issue getting a table to accommodate our stroller. Waitstaff was friendly, though could have used more water refills than we'd gotten. I enjoyed the decor - clean and crisp and creative, but they did lose points for having some fake plants (in addition to real ones... why bother?). We both ordered the date night old fashioned which was quite pleasant - just a hint of a different kind of sweetness than you'd normally expect. I enjoyed it. For a snack, we went with the 3 for $25 dips and spreads - opting for the whipped feta, labneh, and golden beet toum. The toum was fantastic. Whipped feta wasn't very exciting and probably wouldn't get again. Labneh was tasty and different but definitely A+ for the Toum. I was very disappointed with how little veggies and pita we got compared to the ratio of dips and spreads. For that price it felt stingy and main reason why I couldn't give five stars. On the whole a nice way to spend the afternoon - would totally come back! read more

Really solid Mediterranean spot. The trio dip was probably my highlight. The whipped feta and golden beet toum were so so good. My husband got the gyro wrap and has been talking about it ever since. I got the gyro plate and it was solid but I felt it lacked a bitttt of flavor from the meat to the yogurt sauce and hummus. However I would still absolutely recommend this spot. There's a nice outdoor area and it's a cute spot. read more

Had a tremendous experience last night at Boychik in the Stanley Marketplace. First we got to eat with the chef and his wife and hear descriptions of the appetizers, sides and plates as they came to the table. We started with a variety of dips and pita and veggies. The carrot, yogurt dip and hummus were my favorites and bring out the flavor of all the other food. Roasted cauliflower and the Yukon gold potatoes were so good! The flavors and spices jump off veggies and paired with the sauces you have s slice of heaven. Our plates were chicken shawarma, falafel and lamb. The meats are tender, flavorful and presented with humus, sauces and garnish. Pair this with more Pita and i have a go to place next visit! read more

Hidden gem alert!! Don't skip on this fresh place! If you're in for a quick and clean lunch, this is a great spot! We were surprised it wasn't busier during the weekend lunch rush. Loved the big portions of veggies and hummus! I enjoyed the boychick sauce that had a little spicy kick to it. The falafels had a great crunch on the outside but they were too mushy for my preference. Seasoning was great. Vibes were immaculate and each staff member had a cute/funny saying on the back of their shirts. This spot is actually pretty "hidden". From the inside, it's down this back alley but you can also enter from the outside entrance by the frontside parking lot. read more

This was a great find as we strolled along Stanley Marketplace the other weekend. We were looking for a place for dinner and saw the raving reviews for this place. Place was packed but was immediately added to the Resy waitlist, got the table in less than 25 mins. Great staff and such warm service. Loved the food, pita bread was perfect with their hummus and the labneh, for entree, my chicken shawarma plate was delicious! We also went for mocktails and were refreshing. Wouldn't mind coming back again when in Denver next! read more

Pretty lunch / dinner spot in the Stanley with indoor and patio dining. I ordered the lamb gyro platter. It was tasty but the meat is pretty skimpy for $22. It comes shaved on top of a mound of quinoa. I'd order this again for myself but it may not enough for a hungry person or if you are just looking for more protein. read more

Boychik - Lamb gyro platter - Salad Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

A wonderful meal at Boychik. The lamb plate was large and served with houmous, quinoa, salad, and pita. The hummus is so creamy and tasty. The pita is just about the best I have ever eaten, soft, chewy, superb, and a perfect accompaniment to any meal. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. They have a number of specials each day and worthy of your consideration. With so many great choices at Stanley Marketplace, Boychik is a standout star. read more

Very nice restaurant. Really like the large lampshades and the decor in general. The service was friendly and attentive. Good Mediterranean food. I had the chicken schwarma pita and it tasted really fresh and delicious. We also got the flourless cake for dessert and it was so yummy with the ice cream and whatever nut shavings and sauce they added. Prices weren't bad at all. read more

Hidden Mediterranean gem at Stanley Marketplace, nestled on a corner away from the craziness inside. Food was hot and came out fast. Seasoning was on point with some of the most flavorful gyro meat I have ever had and the fluffiest pita. Usually not a big fan of couscous but it was great as well! Could definitely have eaten more and will be back to try the chicken shawarma as it smelled and looked excellent too. read more

The hubs and I came here for lunch and wow was it delicious. The servings were huge - I had the chicken shawarma bowl and the hubs had the lamb gyro wrap. The hummus was like velvet and all of the flavors were just spot on. We ate at the bar and service was fast and friendly. It was their first month of being open and they did an awesome job of working the space and making sure everyone was doing good and enjoying their food. I also really liked the decor and it was bright and sunny. read more

Stopped by on weds for lunch. Place is super cool. Very well decorated. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. We had first found out about Boychik at a yelp event and had been itching to go for a while. Have to say it was well worth the wait. Did not disappoint. In fact it was downright scrumdiddlyuptious. We started with the dip trio with baba, muhammara, and lebneh. All three were top notch but the muhammara was the bomb. Highly recommend. We each ordered the chicken or lamb shawarma bows or israeli caesar with falafel. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Best falafel we have had in a very long time. And the portions were huge. We all took food home and ate it for lunch the next day. Will definitely be returning read more

This is the best Middle Eastern restaurant I've tried in Colorado. I loved the hummus and the chicken shawarma. The pita, tabouli, and other dips were great, too. I thought the falafel could have been cooked more, but that's just my taste. The service and ambiance were excellent, and the prices were decent. I will definitely be coming back. read more

We did take out for 6 folks and enjoyed everything we ordered. The falafel was good, the salads & shwarma.

Boy are we thrilled Boychik has finally arrived at the Stanley Marketplace! A highly anticipated opening that's been a long time coming. After Chook exited, we needed something exciting to open in this space. The owners put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the restaurant and it shows. Beautifully designed, bright and airy atmosphere, very comfortable environment to dine in. I'm no stranger to Boychik's concept and the people behind it. I've had their food on several occasions at pop up events. And the people behind the scenes have been in the restaurant industry for years executing stellar concepts. They have passion and they have a boatload of talent to boot. Boychik leans into the Mediterranean inspired traditions with a modern day interpretation. The menu is a unique cross between a fast casual Greek place and higher end Mediterranean restaurant. Meaning you'll find shawarma wraps on the menu but also more composed dishes like marinated swordfish, Tel Aviv Caesar, and grilled yams. A must order when you come here are the dips and spreads. At the top of the menu you'll find 6 offerings that are served with pita and veggies. You can choose 3 for $22 (at the time of this review). We ordered the Traditional Hummus, Labneh, and Muhamarra. All of them were delicious with the latter being my top spot. For mains, I went with the Lamb Gyro Plate. All plates are served with pita, cucumber tomato salad, zhoug, traditional hummus, and quinoa tabbouleh. First off you can see the two spits at the centerpoint of the restaurant, so you know you're getting the highest quality meat. The lamb was tender, juicy and succulent. The star of the show for me was the zhoug, which paired absolutely perfectly with the lamb. All the other players were prepared with thought and care. For $20, it's a huge plate of food! Very excited about Boychik and I wish them many wonderful years of success at Stanley Marketplace. Kudos on your first few weeks in business and your stunning new restaurant! read more

A friend had recommended this lovely place in Stanley Market place and I checked it out with a group of friends. The ambiance is more casual and loud, think more casual date or hanging out with friends versus fancy date place, Dips and Spreads: We tried the hummus which was pretty amazing, the muhammara which was so flavorful and tangy as well as a pureed sweet potato dish. I must talk about the sweet potatoes as they were pureed and not very appetizing to look at, however the flavor combination was amazing. We cleaned the bowl as new with the delicious bread. The fries were well flavored but a little soggy. Salads: While it sounds simple, the Caesar salad was so well-executed as was the fried cauliflower salad. The mint really made the cauliflower salad stand out. Mains: I had the Lamb Gyro platter as well as the Falafel platter and both were beyond fantastic with the sides and bread. A few friends with us had some wraps and they raved as well. The chicken shawarma wrap seemed to be a particular hit Dessert: For dessert I had some type of pistachio, chocolate ice cream goodness. I do not know the name but it was the perfect end to the meal. The staff was beyond friendly. They offered to split the lamb and falafel platters into 2 plates as a friend and I had wanted to share. The price point was also very reasonable, I highly recommend this place, read more

I've been eagerly waiting for Boychik's opening since they teased us with a superb presence and energy at Fall's Stanley Marketplace Sock-hop Yelp Event and a subsequent community event. Boychik did not disappoint! Their southeast location at Stanley is outstanding, as they have renovated the interior with amazing results. It's comfy and a great setting, complete with a bar. In warmer weather, they'll be able to sit at a number of tables outside, and if they strategize well, it'll be visible and wonderful to visit. I was in a rush on Day Two, but I had to get a quick bite to support their new venture and taste their food. Kathy and I enjoyed an excellent Gyro Wrap with its accompanying veggies. I loved the tzatziki! We also enjoyed good service, hilarious staff t-shirts, and kind customer service throughout our visit. We will definitely be coming back for a full meal sometime soon. Good luck to Charley, Melissa, and Brad with their business (I met them at the Yelp Event), and welcome to our community! read more

This is how to win at Boychik: 1) You gotta get the Whipped Feta with Yukon Potatoes. Wow wow wow. If you like cream cheese, this will be a winner for you. The feta is so smooth and tangy - if you eat it with some pita, it tastes very much like a very high quality plain bagel with cream cheese which is chef's kiss for bread and cheese lovers like me. 2. The falafels are a MUST TRY. Good bye to days of dry and flavorless falafels. These are crispy but so moist and flavorful! They have a happy hour special for falafel sliders and amazing P:P (price to portion) ratio. 3) Go with a group of people so you order more things and try everything!! read more

Fabulous service, delicious Mediterranean fare! Fresh, perfect dishes, carved before your eyes!

Boychik is a wonderful addition to the Stanley marketplace. The interior is simple and elegant and the food is very tasty. We had a yummy, light bottle of Greek red wine accompanied by a mezze platter; the hummus was smooth and delicious, the pickled cauliflower was piquant, and the baba ganoush was very tasty. The pita was lightly toasted and perfectly chewy. We got plenty of it to soak up the delicious muhammara. The lamb shawarma was good, but I would have liked the lamb a bit juicier, that is my only critique. The service was excellent and the staff were warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We came for dinner and left full with no room for dessert. I'm definitely returning for more muhammara soon. Yum! read more

What a wonderful addition to Stanley Marketplace and the neighborhood! I arrived famished, which worked out in my favor. We held back from ordering everything on the menu, but got a great sampling to judge Boychik by. We were impressed with the flavorful hummus and fresh, fluffy pita. The muhammara and Moroccan sweet potato were also excellent. The latter was a new dish for me, and I loved it. I appreciate that they serve the dips with both pita and fresh vegetables. The chicken and lamb were tasty, as were the salads and sauces that came with them. The falafel was a bit different in texture and flavor than I'm used to, but we enjoyed it! Serving sizes felt appropriate for the prices, which we agreed were reasonable. The interior design here is lovely, and service was fast and friendly. Boychik is a great spot for lunch or dinner, and we'll surely be back soon! read more

I tried their food at a special event in late 2023. This 2nd location at the Stanley Marketplace opened in Feb 2024. The space is located on the southeast corner of the food hall. They have an outside entrance but the inside access is down a hallway that shares access to the kitchen for Atomic Cowboy and a back entrance to Annette. The space is light and airy with plenty of windows and soft wood tones. Nice menu with a large selection of cocktails and wines. The food is primarily Mediterranean but a burger is available. I started with a Pomegranate Spritz, a nice non-alcoholic beverage. I chose a classic Lamb Gyro plate with a large Pita bread, cucumber & tomato salad, a large dollop of traditional hummus with olive oil, zhoug and quinoa tabbouleh. A very nice lunch. I added a large side of Zaatar fries. I was served by LaRae C. She was quick and pleasant. They charge a 1% community fee for the Stanley Marketplace and a 3.5% surcharge. I interpreted that to be an automatic charge to be shared among team members. I adjusted my additional tip to account for it. read more

I recommend Boychik to everyone and persuade my loved ones to come here with me at least once a month. The pita bread here is absolutely amazing, and is the star of the restaurant in my eyes. So fluffy and chewy. Try all the dips, you can't go wrong. And the chicken shawarma plate is perfect for those looking for juicy, flavorful chicken. My mouth is watering just thinking about Boychik's food! read more

I found Boychik when in Denver (Aurora) for a professional meeting. Ever since discovering really good hummus in Israel, I've been on a quest to find good hummus in the US. I found it!!!! I've sampled a lot of hummus at a variety of kinds of Midde Eastern restaurants, but none of them can hold a candle to this. Creamy and flavorful beyond words. As good as the best hummus I had in Israel (or anyplace). I had it with fried cauliflower--a dish I never had in Israel but have had before at a variety of Middle Eastern restaurants in the US. I've enjoyed it but this restaurant provided me with the peak experience on this too. Fried to just the right crispy but not soggy consistency, with excellent spicing and the perfect amount of citrus flavor. This combo was so good that when I finished my meal and was stuffed to the point of not being able to eat another bite, I ordered a duplicate version of the meal to take home. I had a chat with the owner who was very nice. He freely shared details of how they make the hummus and what makes it so good (lots of details matter, but what is probably the most important is using really good imported tahini and lots of it. The physical plant is simple but attractive, clean and not too noisy. The service was very good. There are several other Colorado locations. If you are in Denver (Aurora, to be precise--the Stanley Marketplace), Vail or Boulder, RUN, do not walk, to get there. And if you're coming back to Boston, bring me some? read more

We tried boychick for a quick dinner recently, they had A TON of servers on staff and it was about 5 pm and only starting to pick up by the time we left. We lived the baba ganoush and would come back just for that. We split the falafel and the gyro wraps but both of those were not quite as good or pulled us in comparably to the baba ganoush. We'd try some other options next time to see if we can find what we like. The ambiance is interesting, what I can only call millennial gray, which if that's your thing it works but felt a little too ikea ish for us. Overall not a bad meal, but we aren't running back to have dinner at boychik. read more

Staff was friendly and accommodating for my vegan dietary restrictions. They recommended a really great alternative sauce for the fries that was garlic and oil based. Food was incredible, the falafel was moist and flavorful, and I love that they give you pita pockets with the bowls if you want to stuff them. A little on the pricey side but not too bad. Definitely worth it! read more

Food and service excellent! Reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Make it a go spot!

As a Mediterranean food snob I highly highly recommend to try their awesome Falafel plate & chicken Shwarma! It will knock your socks off!

Boychik has it all. Great efficient service that's genuine and outstanding dishes! We started with their refreshing cocktails Locked In Margarita and Tahini Dreams. Their take on the Mai Tai. Both were delicious! Followed by their Dips and Spread: Labneh, Muhammara and Moroccan Sweet Potato. The latter was new to me and I can tell you it's sooo good! Among the Salads and Mezze the Marinated Swordfish is new. The zhough on top of the fish complemented the dish very well. Both the Fried Cauliflower and Grilled Yukon Gold was outstanding! By then we're absolutely stuffed with not only gorgeous looking dishes but an over-the-top Mediterranean experience! Then the Chicken Shawarma Plate and Falafel Hummus Bowl came which signals the beginning of a satisfying ending. The Chicken Shawarma was out of this world! I'm so glad we said yes to their super creamy Flourless Chocolate Cake with Tahini Ice Cream! Definitely get this! Did you know that they have an amazing curated bottle of wines? I really enjoyed a taste of 2022 Mauro Molino Barbers D' Alba. It's smooth and medium-bodied red that lately I tend to prefer. Some facts: ( thx to Emily, Charlie's wife) 1. **Opening Dates:** Boychik at the Stanley Marketplace opened on 2.2.24, while their first location, Boychik at Avanti in Boulder, opened in 2020. 2. **Meaning of "Boychik":** "Boychik" is a Yiddish term of endearment for a boy or young man. It is a term of affection that reflects the owners' personal connection to their heritage. 3. **Ownership:** Boychik is not a franchise but a privately owned business founded by friends Chase Devitt and Charlie Troup, who share a long-standing friendship and a passion for food and hospitality. 4. **Background:** Chase has a culinary background, having attended Le Cordon Bleu in Las Vegas, while Charlie's expertise lies in hospitality & beverage. 5. **Exciting Developments:** Boychik is thrilled to be in Aurora and is looking forward to expanding their brand. They aim to provide the community with delicious, elevated food in a welcoming environment, with plans to open a patio, introduce a brunch menu, and offer new dishes like shrimp and swordfish, Caesar Salad, and an extensive wine program. 6. **Unique Dining Experience:** Their dessert offerings have also been expanded compared to the Boulder food stall. read more

This new Mediterranean inspired restaurant just opened at Stanley about a month ago. I went on a whim with my partner to check it out, and we had a great experience. The restaurant is light tones with a calm ambience; lots of natural sunlight during the day time. They have a menu that can cater to most diets, but I appreciated that it wasn't overwhelming in options. The prices are all very reasonable especially for a dining spot inside Stanley. We got: muhamara w pita - kind of a spicy sweet spread that was really bursting with flavor and the pita was fresh and warm Hummus - lots of tahini/olive oil in this made for a super creamy hummus that I really appreciated Cauliflower salad - super crispy cauliflower and paired with a delicious arugula base with yogurt Pistachio ice cream - honestly maybe the highlight of the meal for me, but I'm also a lover of all ice cream. Comes with 3 scoops and covered with this amazing sweet, crunchy crumble Overall, great experience and will definitely add to my rotation of restaurants. read more

Had a great birthday lunch with friends this past weekend at the Stanley Marketplace location. We were greeted and seated right away, it wasn't too busy for a Saturday! We each tried a different wrap: a lamb, chicken and friend cauliflower. All delicious, all came with a side of quinoa. We also had the baba ganoush with pita appetizer and really liked that at well! I also ordered the spritzer cocktail and my friend ordered a glass of white wine that were quite tasty! We definitely will come back soon! read more

Tried this place before another event at the Stanley Marketplace and I was not just pleasantly surprised, I was blown away. I am a huge fan of Mediterranean cuisine and everything was top notch. Highly recommend the schwarma and falafel hummus bowls. They were so good, we joked about licking our plates clean. The pomegranate spritz was also delicious. The wait staff was extremely attentive; although we had a water carafe on our table, I never once filled up my own glass. I can't believe I didn't even snap a photo before we dug in! But you have to trust me that it was as beautiful as it was delicious. read more

What a cute vibe! I thought this was going to be more of a takeout place but it's a chic sitdown restaurant. The food was very tasty - particularly the hummus and the pita. The service was friendly but it was a bit hard to get our waiters attention since he was talking to a waitress much of the time. Usually this would be fine but we just needed to eat and pay quickly this trip. Overall I'd recommend. read more
