Well overall I'd probably rate it 3.75 Stars but really not a four star restaurant. Seating was promo, service was very good. The salad itself was fresh & tasty, as I ordered a side of ranch dressing, but could have used more than a small scoop of crumbles of chicken. It had a nice ratio of other ingredients but as I said the chicken portion was miniscule. I most likely would stop by again and order something different although the light salad hit the mark. read more

For an airport bar, I was truly impressed - not just with the food, but with the amazing service. From the very beginning, James was so incredibly kind! He greeted me at the host stand and explained that it was first come first serve. Immediately upon a table vacating, he helped a guest in front of me, and then the same when my seat was ready. He went right over and wiped down my area and explained to new guests about the chargers not always working when they sat down at a table near me. James was just really kind and I truly appreciate great customer service!! He let me know about the to-go cocktails, gave me a cloth napkin and real fork even tho I'd asked for a to-go container just in case I had to rush. He joked with the customers and the staff. I absolutely adored his positive attitude as he made me feel welcome. I didn't catch my waitress's name but she had purple hair and was equally as fabulous. A great smile, a kind heart and very accommodating. She filled my water, gave me the applicable discount when I asked without hesitation, got me my to-go container and accessories quickly along with my check to make sure I wasn't rushed for my flight. She recommended I add avocado to my gyro because she loved it and it was so delicious!!! The food was really good and the perfect helping. She thanked me several times and told me to have a good flight. She was genuine! When I left I felt like I needed to go back and tip James because hosts don't always get tipped out and he really deserved it. When I came back in he asked if I was staying. Lol. I just shook his hand, gave him the tip and then when he thanked me he said "hugs?" It was exactly what I hoped for because he deserved that hug from the bottom of my heart! Great customer service is hard to find these days and the wolf needs more great people like these two! read more

Let's face it. NO ONE ever enjoys that feeling of being rushed at the airport and being hungry. Well, at least I know I don't! And thankfully, Etai's is a great spot for those flying United or willing to venture to terminal B. I stumbled upon this place because I was craving a hearty salad. There was a line that was pretty long, however it was moving quickly and the staff seemed to have everything streamlined which was great. So I waited in a long line, ordered the southwestern salad and received it all in 10 minutes. The salad itself was great. Not the best salad ever but a pretty dang good salad for the airport. The chicken was well seasoned and the Romaine lettuce was very crunchy and fresh. I only wish they had chopped up the avocado, jalapeños and "cherry tomatoes"-- which were just actual tomato slices. But again, in the context that this is made in an airport setting I was still very pleased. My salad was about $11 and pretty filling so I can't really complain. I'd happily come here again if I find myself on Terminal B and on a time constraint or just looking for food to go. I didn't dine here but the service I received from the cashier was excellent. read more

Just had a great visit to Etai's. Scarfed down the smothered burrito and it was delicious. The Chile very very fresh, nicely spiced, and the cheesy burrito was filling. Top notch food for a decent price at the airport. I took away but there's the [probably better] option to sit down. The seating is a nice distraction from the ruckus of the terminal. Worth coming back to next time I'm in terminal B. read more

Good service, friendly staff, reasonable prices for airport food. Recommend the BLTA, really tasty!

I would recommend this place for travelers that are seeking above-average airport food. There's a decent variety of food items: burgers, sandwiches, omelets, etc. If you are concerned about your time and got a flight to catch soon, this place is super quick and get your order ready sooner than expected. I ordered a breakfast burrito when I was about to catch a flight to Detroit and then a good burger when I was about to fly to Albuquerque. One amazing thing about this place: They have an amazing view! If you sit inside the restaurant at the bar and you can see the airplanes coming to the gates and being pushed back to the ramp. Such an dynamic and bright view that will get you even more excited to go on your trip or to travel back home. read more

It was really nice to see this place in the airport as a healthier option than the standard airport fair and gluten free galore. Even had a paleo bowl which my wife really enjoyed. We ate here both directions coming thru Denver. I really enjoyed the gyro sandwich and falafel bowl. I would say the flavor was not as potent as I'd like but overall very good and will eat here again if near Gate 23 on future trips. read more

The chicken shawarma and falafel pita sandwich are absolutely amazing. The flavors are authentic and mouthwatering. The staff is friendly, and the ambiance is welcoming. A must-visit if you re at Denver airport. Can't wait to go back! read more

Travel 200+ days a year and have for 15 years. Spend a lot of time in airports, eating. Etai's has great salads, fair prices and little things (like their iced tea) and better than you find most places. And everyone who works there is so nice. Again: I've spent YEARS on the road, and Enrique who works here is one of the best servers and friendliest people I've ever had wait on me. I always arrive early so I can come here. read more

$18 for a "pita bow" that was basically ground chicken dumped onto lettuce. Literally no other ingredients. The Greek place in the main restaurant area gives you a more interesting, healthier salad for the same money. Also, every shawarma I've ever had (which is quite a bit) did not look like this. This looks like ground meat rather than shaved. Wish my food resembled these other pretty pictures. read more

The southwest breakfast sandwich, Apple juice and bowl of fruit was great! The waitress was very timely during my morning break between flights in Denver Airport. The atmosphere was quite relaxing with basketball playoffs on the overhead TV. read more

FOOD I came here for the Juan burger but it's not longer on the menu :( - Chicken Basil Club: roasted chicken with roasted red bell peppers, bacon, swiss cheese and pesto on ciabatta bread. Good flavor but the chicken was slightly dry. 3.5/5 -- Sweet potato fries: +$2 tossed in sea salt. Lightly crispy. Yummy but if you take this to go, eat it right away. I had the right mind to eat most of the fries before I boarded my flight. The remaining were super soft and wilted by the time I was able to get to them again on the plane. 4/5 SERVICE: fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS I would come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Not a bad stop for a bite. Stopped in for a quick bite while passing through. Right restaurant with not a ton of space. Ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with fries. It was very tasty. Only reason for four stars was that it took forever to get my check. Even when o asked for it right when my food arrived. No biggie. read more

Meh... I ordered a Cuban sandwich which was advertised as being served on Rustico bread. Since this place advertises as a bakery cafe, I was anticipating some sort of artisan bread. Maybe Etai translates Rustico as Wonder, because I got plain white bread with minimal ham and pork. Oh, I also got cold french fries. I know it's airport food, but $15 for was disappointing. read more

Etai's is located at DIA so I expected the routinely average faire. What we got was off the charts excellent. Gyro copiously stuffed with succulent meat, crispy romaine lettuce, fresh cucumbers, and deliciously herbal tzatziki. Oh yes the pita was freshly baked not the ubiquitous raw hide others serve. Our other sandwich was a BLTA prepared with equally fresh ingredients assembled with care on bakery fresh ciabatta, thick sliced bacon and mild guacamole. My only caveat is the potions are generous enough to accompany us on our way home. read more

BLTA was great I opted for the regular fries with it liked that I could add my own salt to them instead of them being super salty

This place used to be Udi's and they still use their bread, so they claim to be gluten free I just ate there and feel horrible... a total reaction to gluten... so something they are doing isn't safe NOT SAFE FOR PEOPLE W GLUTEN ALLERGIES read more

Definitely one of the better airport restaurants we have ever tried! The burgers we ordered were cooked to perfection and the bar drinks were great! Our server Nefisa did a great job with us as well. We just wish it was a little larger since it was so popular, but overall a good experience. read more

Portion was ridiculously tiny, they didn't have chicken schwarma at all after I ordered it, and it was very very expensive. The lady next to me had a salad that was triple my size for the gyro bowl. And it was pretty gross. Don't go here. read more

Service was so fast. Breakfast was awesome! The paleo breakfast was great. Mimosa was light on juice, so good. Typical, airport vibe.

My favorite thing to order here is the Chicken Basil Club, which is a delicious and filling sandwich with a generous amount of pesto. I know some of the reviewers think it's a bit too oily, but so far it hasn't been so for me. What's even better is I get it with the sweet potato fries, and it's the best thing ever! Especially at the airport, where food is typically meh. They have dine in vs. take out, and I know you can't buy the take out to sit at the dine in, but I've seen them allow that during off hours when it's not busy. The service can vary, but for the most part they're friendly, and you can watch the airplanes out the window. read more

Quick and friendly service at the airport. Team seemed to care about the experience they are delivering.

We were stranded at the Denver Airport (nice work, United Airlines - you guys really stink), and needed to find something to fill our stomachs. In general I try to avoid airport food, as it is typically overpriced and undergood (undergood really should be a word). But with no other options that day, we looked for anything that might be remotely interesting (e.g. not a burger, hot dog, or pizza slice) and perhaps just a little healthful. At the same time, we were tired and hungry and probably would have settled for anything. Thankfully, we found ourselves close to Etai's. We're partial to Middle Eastern / Israeli food, so this looked like a good option. We wanted to order a falafel pita, but unfortunately we arrived too close to closing time and they didn't have any available. Instead, we got a gyros pita and a chicken shawarma. The gyros was okay - the beef/lamb meat was flavorful, but the pieces were cut too small and it started to resemble coarse ground beef. The chicken shawarma was quite good - chicken wasn't dried out and the added vegetables were fresh. The pita was soft and didn't fall apart while eating. The sandwiches were of a good size, but at about $11 each it was more expensive than what you'd get if you're not captive in an airport terminal. The service was surprisingly friendly, being that it was towards the end of weekend day in this busy airport. We had a couple special requests for the shawarma, and they accommodated them without fuss. Overall it was a better than expected experience, and if United botches another itinerary then we know where we can get a good meal. read more

We have been through many an airport over our years and unfortunately had to eat at many restaurants if you'd even want to call them that. We found Etai's over last Christmas holidays and ate there on the way to the mid-west and on our return to the west. That says alot about a place that you'll go there twice inside of three weeks. We had the Paleo Bowl with the side of avocado (my wife ordered it both times) and it is one of the finest bowls of brunch or lunch one can have. It is full of flavor with medium eggs, fried sweet plantains, a very tasty home made chorizo, green chili, pico de gallo & fresh avocado. This dish is light yet fullfilling and absolutely filled with flavor. We also had the cuban sandwich with sweet potato fries. It has a rustico bread filled with ham, braised pork, pickles, Swiss cheese, mustard and a great tasting aioli. Definetly flavorful and filling, the sweet potato fries were very crisp and not oily or soggy at all! Just what one expects but doesn't get many times. We also had the Pita Gyro with feta cheese. The lamb was tasty and correctly seasoned with an unique spin on the tzatziki sauce. What truly sets this brunch sandwich shop way beyond others is that they are a bakery, thus the bread's and baked goods are about as fresh as one can get and they specialize in gluten free breads for those requesting that. They will modify the menu items to help suit your specific needs which is highly unsual for an airport hole in the wall. The staff are very helpful, cheerful and professional. The price is $10 to $13 per plate which is reasonably for an airport, great value added. They have a full service bar and plenty of local and national draft beer. If your going through Denver International Airport and want a fulfilling meal that isn't the standard greasy filled slop on a slab thrown at you to hurry up and eat. Etai's is the place. Next time we go through we will be there. Keep up the great effort Etai's staff- you're excellent!!!! read more

Stopped in here for some drinks on our way out of Denver. I didn't really know what to expect, but we had a great time. Our bartender, Brenda Perkins (I guess there are two Brendas) is the bomb diggity dog. When we sat down, she gave us the familiar and rote, "Hi, my name is Brenda and I'll be taking care of you blah blah." I asked her a couple questions and she turned all super helpful. I'm glad we spent the time to chat with her. She helped my wife pick a good wine and was amenable to me ordering a different beer every time. She also gave us some input about what was good on the menu and how to customize them (swap out the ciabatta on the Cuban for Jalapeno bread for instance). We ended up just having drinks there and met up with some other skiers that were local to the Baltimore/Washington Metro that were also on the way home. The food looked really good (for an airport restaurant). They have a pretty wide selection of foods from shwarma to avocado toast. I'll be sure to try some of the food here in the future, but will definitely come by for drinks again. read more

I had a two hour layover in Denver and hadn't eaten breakfast. I knew I wanted something different than a standard McDonald's meal, so I tried the food here. Just one word... AMAZING! I tried the Southwest Breakfast Sandwich. It comes with scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, and avocado on jalapeno toast. I'm not one to eat anything spicy, but the toast had a light spice to it. The creaminess of the avocado brought the whole thing together. While the restaurant was extremely busy, I was always able to get a refill on my coffee. Never felt neglected by my server, Melissa. The tables were clean as was the silverware. Not always a guarentee even in a big chain restaurant. They offer a couple burgers, hot and cold sandwiches, breakfast, bloody Mary's, wine, craft beer, other mixed drinks, pop, and damn good coffee. I didn't see a kid's menu, but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't offer one. If you find yourself wandering around the airport looking for a meal, I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Had a two hour layover in Denver so I decided to have a quick sit down dinner, whereas I selected Etai and am so glad I did. The servers pitch hitted for each other so I was seated, waited on and served very quickly. I ordered the Mango Chicken Salad and it was delish. I also thought the prices were reasonable. If ever back in this part of the Denver airport I will most definitely be back here. read more

Best airport spot for food, everything is fresh and delicious. I try to come here whenever I'm in Denver. Rae is definitely a rae of sunshine. She was super friendly and definitely super quick with everything. She makes the trip anytime I see her! read more

Layovers can be adventures or disasters. Lucky this one happens to be a few hours so there was lots of time to explore. With breakfast on the brain we sought out a sit down that was not the arches. Came upon this little gem. Gluten free..heck yes. Price was reasonable for airport food and we enjoyed the quiet yet energized space. My husband enjoyed the smothered burrito. I had the classic egg and cheese with bacon. The gluten free bread was delicious. The sunlight brightened our morning as we divested our breakfast. No rush anywhere and they didn't need us out for seats. Most definitely a find that was worth the little walk through the terminal. Yay adventures. read more

Excellent for airport food. We ate here on our way to and from our destination. We flew United so it was right next to our terminal. Chicken basil sandwich with fries both times and enough for my husband and myself to share. The sandwich was pretty large and neither of us could have eaten the entire thing alone. Pricing was decent and service quick and friendly. Definitely recommend Etais if you are in the area. read more
