I think…read morethey must be under new owners, it seems like all the recipes have changed, we ordered our normal order tonight and all 4 items tasted completely different than normal, new ingredients/spices, everything. Sad to see it change and not in a good way. The old recipes are 5 stars, these are not. Nice staff but sad to see the food change

After hiking at Brainard Lake we had food on the mind - Mediterranean food…read more After trying hummus, bread, and Muhammara dip from this Med Market I just knew we had to check them out. Our fave Mediterranean sit down restaurant is in Denver so we were hoping this would become our local go to. Located conveniently just off of 28th street we easily found parking. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We were delighted by all the pastries (various baklava and more), grab and go breads and dips, grocery offerings as well as the huge menu for food. I went for a chicken plate while my partner went for a gyro plate. Our meals were cooked expertly and ready within minutes & we ate right in the market. Our plates were so inviting with fresh salad, feta, tzatziki, olives and fresh warm soft bread. Everything tasted so great we didn't even take a picture. We also indulged in a couple pistachio baklava pastries - yum. Recommending to all our friends and can't wait to go back.

The food market itself was pretty good and has a lot of options to choose from. Closest place to me…read moreso will probably go back, not sure about the food. Even the gyro was pretty decent flavor wise, just a touch on the small side for the money IMO. Biggest issue and why I have to rate it low is biting right into a toothpick and thought I chipped my tooth...Not sure if quality control or what but shouldn't happen and quite the disappoint. I was already too far to go back.

My husband and I popped in for a quick dinner before a movie…read more There was a line when we entered which moved quickly. We placed our order and were given a beeper for when it was ready. We both got single slider meals that came with fries. We both opted for a water cup to hydrate. I got lite mild and he got the next level up. The sandwiches came topped with coleslaw and pickles. The pickles were flavorful. The fries were well seasoned. The sandwich was ok. It was a large breaded chicken tender. I know they are known for the hot, hot hot, and super hot levels of seasoning, but I kind of expected the mild to have flavor as well. It was bland. My husband loved his meal.

We have since ordered take out, but I probably wouldn't do that again. It's not packaged in a way that maintains the quality as much and the salads are packaged inside the hot meals instead of separately, so we didn't really get to eat that. However, their food, especially the kabobs of all meats, are delicious. Their hummus is top tier! They are also extremely friendly, with a very clean environment inside.

Conveniently located on the busy street of 28th in Boulder, I got lucky to find this…read moreLebanese/Mediterranean restaurant as I was heading west and this place (all of a sudden) appeared in the kitty corner of my eye. Lately, when I get hungry I tend to think of this cuisine. As if to say that I was led to it by some invisible force, like a magnet, I made a u turn to get on the east bound lane to rush to it. A small restaurant but on the outside, I sensed some authenticity. After taking a few photos of its exterior, I stepped inside with high anticipation. On Yelp, it's got a solid 4-star rating left by the past diners/takeouters. Sounds promising. A young lady upfront said a quick hi followed by a question "For here or to-go?" to which I said "to-go. The menu has a good selection of both small (appetizer) plates to entrees. Their menus are somewhat fancy booklet style. Depending on the item, there are some accompanying photos of them. I wanted at least a few items so I went with 1) Fava Beans ($9 from the Appetizer section) and 2) Vegetarian Lovers Combo ($17 from the Entree section.) And for the next 45 min (from Boulder to Denver) on a beautiful mid Sunday afternoon, I had go through a very agonizing time smelling the mouthwatering smell of the two dishes while I was fighting the traffic jam caused by an accident on 36. Once I was home though, I wasted no time to savor the two dishes. And this is how my early dinner went: 1) Fava Beans - this dish could utilize more seasoning. It's a little bland or I should say boring. On the positive note, it does taste clean and healthy. I do like simple in many cases where I abhor something that's oversalted. That said, this dish pass my taste test. At the same time, it's definitely not something I highly recommend. 2) Vegetarian Lovers Combo - I can comfortably say that this is a solid dish. There are two falafels that are triangular shaped (never seen them shaped like that). Both baba ghonouj and hummus are in the top two compartments portioned generously. In the main compartment, house salad, rice and tabbouleh are beautifully and carefully placed. One large pita bread that was cut in half was in a piece of foil separately so it wouldn't get soggy. Oh let's not forget, there was one grape leaf on top of the tabbouleh which I saved it for the last. When I finally ate it, I realized that this is/was the star item of the whole combo plate. I've eaten super oily grape leaves that are too soggy in oils but this was perfectly moist and yet not oily. Small and yet it was dense inside. Wish the plate came with two of them. A little suggestion I would like to make to the restaurant (so I hope the restaurant owner read this!!) These two dishes lasted for three meal occasions until dinner time next day. The value for the total price of $23 (before tax) is pretty hard to beat in this high inflation time especially in a city like Boulder. To me, this is a solid 4-star experience.

My favorite spot for Middle Eastern food. We usually get the King Combo, heavy on meat, but also…read moreplenty of greens. The kobideh kabob is probably our favorite dish on that combo. It's tender and flavorful. Our least favorite is the cut of lamb kabob. It's been too chewy. But the chicken is tender. They give two of everything except grape leaves. They only give one. The baba ghanouj was very tasty, the hummus was good, the pita was ok. It was warm, but small pieces. Salads and felafel were good. The service is generally good. And the ambiance is uniquely Lebanese.

The atmosphere is so cool and comfortable! The service was friendly and quick. The beet juice was…read moredelicious and inexpensive considering it was clearly fresh squeezed. However, we ordered the mango juice which was not fresh squeezed, it tasted like nectar. Not bad, but not fresh squeezed. Next time I will order the lemonade, it looked so good. The food was fantastic! We had friends that had been just 5 days before and wanted to go again. It was very reasonably priced and delicious. We will definitely be back!! YUM

Looooved our brunch at The Kitchen! We walked in with no reservation at around 11:30 and were able…read moreto snag a table right away. The space is cozy and bright. I loved the big chandeliers and brick wall. Our server, Skylar, was fantastic. She was personable, welcoming, and enhanced the entire dining experience. My friend and I started with the churro donuts to share. These were the perfect sweet treat (because who can have brunch without something sweet for the table?) It comes with a dulce de leche and a coffee anglaise that was so delicious. For my main I went with the fireside eggs. This was exceptional! Flavourful shakshuka with perfectly poached eggs, avocado and feta served alongside naan bread. This meal was comforting and delicious without being overly filling. I can't recommend The Kitchen enough! If I'm ever back in Boulder I will definitely be back. I would love to try the lunch or dinner menu!

This was a pretty good meal unexpectedly after the BOLDERBoulder run last weekend!…read more We thought the area would be too packed to find a table, but surprisingly there were plenty of open seats at around noon on Memorial Day. There are only two tables on their patio that have an umbrella, so we were sitting in the sun at first and it was getting really hot (but then we were able to snag a shaded table when it freed up shortly after) All of the menu options sounded so good, we started with drinks, I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it had egg white in it and was so delicious. We ordered the burrata appetizer and all of our means at the same time. Unfortunately, the appetizer never came out, our server for that to put it in. I ended up going with the Bolognese and it was really good so was the steak frites and street cart chicken that my friends had. Their fries are pretty good. The server felt really bad for forgetting about our appetizer and offered us a free dessert instead, so we tried the churro donuts which were ok. I'm still it was a good meal and I would definitely come back if I'm in the Boulder area again soon

This is a real find along Arapahoe Road, which finally has a good number of local and ethnic places…read moreand not just chains. It's Persian food, so not exactly the same as the menu at your standard Middle Eastern places, but don't be afraid to try something new. They do their takes on kabobs, stews and marinated meats, and they are very good at all of them. They want you to have a different experience than the typical hummus and shawarma places so let them take you to a new part of the world. There is a liquor license, which might be a little surprising, but don't forget to try their black tea as well. We've had good friendly service when we've gone, and this will continue to be one of our preferred places when in this part of town.

This place is a hidden gem! We were wowed by the quality of the meats, especially the lamb, steak,…read moreand saffron chicken. Everything was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We ordered a side of grilled veggies expecting maybe one skewer, but it came as a full plate. The char on the vegetables added a delicious, authentic touch. We also tried all three desserts: the baklava, the funnel cake with donuts, and most especially the rose ice cream with crushed pistachios. The ice cream had a soft, homemade texture and a delicate floral flavor that really stood out. Portions were huge, which we love because we enjoy having leftovers. The place is clean, walk-in friendly, and the staff was helpful and attentive. We'll definitely be back!

My Hogback Sour Cocktail was over the moon. Made from bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, egg white, and Cabernet float. The unique blend made a great drink. I wanted more, but held back because we were hiking later. My wife's traditional slightly dirty martini was perfectly made as well. We started with the homemade chips and dip. Nice crispy chips with beautiful fresh made onion dip. Next came the Pheasant soup. I wanted to lick the bowl clean, it was so yummy. The main course for me was the carnivore plate with elk, filet, sausage, and broccoli/shallots. The elk meat was the star on my plate. Having that next to the filet mignon allowed me to taste test them in real time. The Elk meat won hands down. Not even close in my opinion. The sausage was packed with wonderful flavors, but after a few bites overwhelmed my palette. My wife had the Creamy Potato Gnocchi Bowl. We both shared each other's dishes. She loved the Elk Meat. I really enjoyed the Gnocchi, and wished it could be a side dish to my Elk meat. Service was great with Elizabeth checking on us at the right times. Tip: Ask for the postcard and the restaurant will send it out for you after you fill it out. Tip: the restaurant fills up quickly, so call ahead and get a reservation.
