This was a fantastic meal from start to finish. The open kitchen lets you watch the cooks at work, which adds a lot to the atmosphere, and the inside has a lively, welcoming vibe that's perfect for a date night. The food really stood out. The lamb kabobs were tender and flavorful, the grape leaves were excellent, and the shrimp appetizer so goooood! Loved the pickled onions as a garnish too! read more

I was surprised. I was looking for a local place to have dinner with my wife and we simply couldn't find anything in the area of Denver we were staying in. So we settled for Crave Mediterranean Grill and I have to say it was a good experience. I didn't fall out of my seat surprised at the food or the ambience. But the service was good and that always matters. read more

We loved this place! We came about a half hour before closing, and, despite the late hour, felt that we still received friendly service and fresh food. The hummus be shawarma was excellent and great for those who love hummus, but probably won't be able to finish a full hummus appetizer. I love having zaatar pie and cheese pie any where it's offered. Overall, I would say this is an excellent choice for a Mediterranean meal out. I'm on the fence between 4 and 5 stars, but regardless I think this is a great spot. read more

The quality of the food they serve here simply cannot be ignored despite the fact that the serve isn't super good. It was a quick pick up order I needed to place before I headed out to my side hustle. I didn't have the luxury of spending a lot of time so I was hoping for a quick service. Fortunately for me, that's what I got. The employee who assisted me was a bit too nonchalant (wish he was a bit more courteous and welcoming). I called it "decent but nothing more. The food, however, was near excellent. I got me the Chicken Shawarma and this dish was simply more than delightful. The salad was dressed with a pleasantly tasting dressing, the hummus was as creamy as it could get, the rice was well cooked with the perfect moisture, and the chicken was well seasoned but not salty. This is/was easily one of the best Chicken Shawarma I've had in recent years is no way near an exaggeration. I could easily eat this dish two or three days in a row without getting tired of it. This place has a high-end restaurant feel. The two huge Turkish-looking lightings on the ceiling are quite eye-catching. It has an open kitchen concept where we can observe the kitchen staff cooking and yet it's never smoky or filled with all kinds of cooking smells. They must have a good ventilation system. I will definitely return to it when I "CRAVE" Mediterranean food. read more

I was hoping to find a new Mediterranean restaurant. A simple gyro and baklava nothing insane unfortunately this seemed a little more like a Mall food court then restaurant. The food wasn't bad but as I was going out for a birthday lunch I had really expected more from there advertising. Very basic menu as I recall you ordered at the counter like subway but get charged like you had a server who might see how you felt about your meal, refill your tea water Etc. There are much better Mediterranean restaurants in Denver I can tell you that without a doubt. Like Falafel King lol. I will try to repair this as it won't let me change the review now yes the food could have been better there was no service. But the ambience was the the real killer. read more

Mediterranean food here was great !!!! Loved every dish and appetizer The food was cooked perfectly , so much flavor .... The service was great ... seems like they have a great team dynamic here Loved the location and the decor , just added a lot of culture. The one thing I will say is there there is NO ALCOHOL. I know that is sometimes a deal breaker when going out to dinner , but for those who done great it is a great place to check out .... None the less yes I will be back read more

Crave Mediterranean Grill has a nice ambience, making it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal. The food is alright -- nothing spectacular, but decent for a casual bite. Service could definitely use improvement, as it felt a bit slow and inattentive. Overall, a middle-of-the-road experience. read more

We had a great time stopping in for a quick dinner here! It wasn't too busy when we showed up, and we were seated right away. The service was soon after, and we never felt like we were waiting for anyone to check in for too long. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere, the music was at a good volume to set the mood without being too loud. And the food was great! The pitas were airy and fluffy, the hummus and baba ghanouj were very flavorful, the sambousak was really rich but nice, and the Kafta Kabob entree was delicious. I love lamb, and this didn't disappoint. Absolutely a place I'd return to! Intestinal Impact Index Rating: 2/5 really not too bad. This place truly is a good experience beginning to end! read more

Crave is a perfect name as you'll crave the cuisine again and again. From the homemade pita to the light and airy rice the Mediterranean food is well spiced and tasty. It was almost full on a Saturday night so reservations are definitely recommended. I tried the kebab trio. The chicken was good, lamb was very good and kobideh (grilled beef) spectacular. Each entree comes with salad to begin, hummus, pita and rice. The platter was very filling. Our table also ordered the garlic paste, green beans and baba ghanouj. All were enjoyable as side dishes. More pita please! read more

What. A. Spot. Amazing food! Wonderful staff! Perfect lamb! I've been waiting to come here for a while...finally came and can't wait to come back! Definitely a spot to bring friends and family! Ambiance was on point for a Mediterranean joint! Got there at 11:30 and there was plenty of space but by 12:30 the place was full! Highly recommend the Lamb Chops! Perfectly cooked! The meat pie was an excellent appetizer! The pita and hummus and plenty of the rest were excellent too. Perfectly seasoned food. Generous portions! Left with a food coma! Don't forget the baklava...impeccable! read more

Crave Mediterranean Grill - Lamb Chops - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Colorado

I have been here a few times for dine in and even more times for to go for office lunches. I will say, I feel like their quality has gone downhill. This last time I got a gyro sandwich with extra tzaziki. The pita bread was breaking apart like it was old. The meat was giant chunks instead of sliced gyro meat and the lettuce was definitely at the end of its time and was already brown. I was shocked to see they would even send this out as an order. Previously I have gotten gyros and they have had fresh ingredients and super flavorful. Maybe it was an off day, but that shouldn't have been okay to send with an order. read more

Another wonderful night and dinner at Crave! Amazing food, wonderful service and love the ambiance and decor. Our new favorite restaurant in Denver! Our waitress was very attentive, we ordered falafels for appetizers and also received hummus with pita bread. Waters were topped off regularly. My husband ordered chicken kebab and I ordered the Hummus de Shawarma (chicken). Both were amazing but I especially liked the chicken shawarma. Their garlic paste was also amazing! The falafels were spectacular - so crunchy and flavorful! And baklava for dessert was the topping of the whole experience - yumm!! You can tell the food is high quality and homemade. Would highly recommend and we will certainly return! read more

6/7/26- Came here for good Mediterranean food after being disappointed at the Denver Greek Festival. I knew I could count on them for good food at a good price. Our server was super on top of drinks when we told her we had just spent hours in the sun. We never had to ask for a refill. Even though they were busy we got our food super fast. read more

I heard about this place but I have had better Mediterranean food elsewhere. It's pretty good if you're craving something and happen to be in the area. I personally would only order the hummus and pita bread because that was actually pretty good. You get a pita bread the size of your face. We also got another dip which was good but I can't remember what it was called. So maybe come for pita and a variety of dips as a nice appetizer. The house salad dressing wasn't my favorite. It was a taste I couldn't stomach down. The gyro plate was plentiful but they were kind of plain and bland. I had to dip it in the hummus. I also ordered the banana milk out of curiosity if it tasted like the Korean ones but it was a banana smoothie. Service was friendly. Parking can get crowded because there are so many businesses in this plaza. It does surprisingly get busy here. read more

We went here for lunch early last week and were impressed with the cleanliness, customer service, and ease of parking in a fairly busy part of South Colorado Blvd. Glenda and I split two entree plates, Vegetarian and Hummos with shwarma. The portions were just fine, food was delicious and all of the aspects of service were totally on point. The server was very amiable in conversation and we shared with her as well. The check arrived along with a nice serving of baklava, compliments of the house. Everyone was very friendly and professional. read more

Excellent, fresh food, inviting atmosphere, staff was extremely attentive. We definitely would recommend

Great food and it delivers well. That can't be said about a lot of food. The baba is probably some of the best I've had. Im going to have to dine in one day. read more

Stopped by Crave Mediterranean Grill before checking out the Bright Nights event at four mile. We chose this spot because it was close and the price is reasonable. We ordered the gyro entree ($18), and chicken shawarma entree ($18). The entrees come with rice, salad, hummus and pita bread. It was definitely a lot of food for the price. Not only was it a lot of food it was good food! Service was also great. There are a lot of tables, the decor is nice and it's cool being able to see them make the food. I definitely recommend this spot, especially if you're in the area! read more

Crave has to be our favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the Denver metro area. We typically go for lunch since it's such a great deal, entree with a salad as well. Dinner is also reasonably priced. Service is always friendly and prompt. The chicken kabob is my go to. I also love that they give you a grilled jalapeño if you want to spice things up a bit. Cannot recommend Crave enough. read more

Don't know whether writing a review without pics attached quite makes it these days, but picked up a meal to take over to my MIL's and she's such an elegant old-style grand dame that taking pictures during the meal would have not been appropriate while we ate our baba ganoush, pita, and lamb kebab dinner. Just absolutely loved it. Crave now been added on to my list of favorite Middle Eastern restaurants in Denver. (Yayah's has been at the top of the list for a few years now, but Crave is definitely knocking at the door!). So stop in when you're on the east / south side of town and be super nicely surprised at the incredibly succulent baba ganoush and tender-as-could-be, perfectly prepared to the medium rare level I requested lamb kebab dinner they served up.

If you're in the mood for Mediterranean food, CRAVE is the place to go. Depending on the time, it can get fully packed. The hummus and freshly made pita bread are a must-order. Their meats are also delicious, particularly the lamb -- tender and perfectly seasoned, served with grilled jalapeño and tomato. Highly recommended. read more

Hands down, my favorite place to eat in Denver. It's my favorite place for business meetings. It's my family's favorite place to eat. Favorite place to meet up for girl's night. Favorite!!!! Get their fries! They are the BEST! Trust me. Love their cheese pie- my kiddos' fave! The lamb kafta kabob is my favorite dish there. You can trade the rice out for any of their salads at no cost which is great for a healthier/low-carb option- although I do not have it in me to turn down their hummus and fresh pita that comes with every entree! The chirazi is my fave. Their falafal is phenomenal. If you have two or more people, the mix combo is a great option! Three could eat comfortably from there also. Their lamb shank also looks amazing! They have fresh juices and something called banana milk which is to die for! Also, if you need even more food (we always overeat) their gyro and chicken shawarma is amazing (and is great as an a la carte side). read more

The food is good but the wait times are long. The food portions are small.the service isn't the best.hopefully they can improve on this

Crave is a modern authentic Mediterranean cafe. The food was amazing and the service was great. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We started with the baba ghanouj and it was full of flavor. The fresh made pita dipped in was awesome! We also had a simple salad with oil, vinegar and spices. It had simple ingredients and tasted great. My daughter had the gyro and it was delicious!! I had the combo plate with gyro meat and chicken over hummus. It was so flavorful and tender. It was a lot louder than with low music playing and everyone talking. I love that the kitchen is open to view. We finished off our meals with baklava. It was light, flavorful and sweet, but not too sweet. Thank you! read more

Always excellent, authentic, fresh Mediterranean food and friendy staff. They do a brisk take out business and even at 4:30 pm the restaurant was already half full. They are at the end of a strip mall and there is plenty of parking. They built the sun room type addition with extra seating to handle the crowds and it's a very pleasant area to sit in. read more

Came here from a recommendation of another Yelper. Glad I did. This is med food, but all fresh! And I mean all! From the pita to the hummus to the hot sauce, it's all fresh! I got the gyro (pronounced GY-row if your from NY). I got extra sauce on the side but didn't even use it. They gyro is so juicy you don't need it. And that's coming from me, a sauce guy. The hot sauce is amazing, very unique. Get it! The atmosphere is a mix of classy but casual. Kinda confusing which way they were going with it, but with food like this...no matter what it is a hit. Service is perfect. They were super accommodating to everything I asked. HIGHLY recommend if you want FRESH med! read more

Crave Mediterranean is my family's favorite restaurant. We visit regularly, and my go-to dish is the lamb kabob. The lamb is always tender and juicy, cooked to perfection every time. Each meal comes with hummus and a salad, which are both delicious and a nice touch to the main dish. We've also tried the family meal deal for five, which provides plenty of food. Every dish is flavorful and satisfying, making it a great option for feeding a group. Despite the restaurant often being busy, the service is always prompt and efficient. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience each visit. Overall, Crave Mediterranean consistently delivers great food and excellent service, making it a top choice for us. read more
