To update my most recent review of this place after getting me the Kafta Kabab plate…read more... Amazingly good quality food and friendly service!! On a super chilly Friday night, after I had been done with my second hustle business not too far from this restaurant, before I headed for another business I would need to take care of, I stopped here as I was famished. I simply couldn't think of any other place where I could get food that always promises quality where I wouldn't have to wait too long to get it. I was truly fearful that my uncontrollable appetite would swallow me had I gone to a different restaurant where I might end up waiting too long (LOL!!) My choice was right. And to be greeted by the same kind gentleman (who had always assisted me in the past) warmed up the core of my heart and soul. He did say to me that I should have called in to place my order ahead because he said that the kitchen was quite busy and that I might wait at least or as long as 20 minutes. I told him I was willing to wait although my stomach continued to yell at me from inside!! Well, I got lucky; it didn't take long. See...my assumption was right; this place never disappoints. This time, instead of the usual I get (the vegetarian plate), I tried something different. It's the Kafta Kabob plate. This is another great dish to consider ordering at this place as long as meat is part of your diet. The meat was unapologetically tender and well-seasoned. It was hard to fathom as to how they perfected this technique to cook it to its perfection. The accompanying salad and hummus were gracefully served in the same container. Did I say that Golden's hummus is one of the best? I think I did at least once. It is because of its impeccable creaminess. Awww...I can eat this thing almost everyday if I must. This is a tiny, more of a family-run restaurant type place. Inside is quite basic and yet it's never messy or dirty. This is a place you can comfortably sit and dine without worrying about its cleanliness; sanitation is not an issue. But most of all, you go here for the quality of food. This place easily beats a fine restaurant in an upscale neighborhood for sure.

They were served with a cucumber tomato salad with a deliciously light dressing. This salad, the tabbouleh and falafel were highlights for me. The falafel was fried fresh so it was light and fluffy inside but crispy outside. The shawarma and gyro meat were tasty too. My only complaint was that I wish there was more cauliflower on the vegetable plate. The decor is fun with vibrant couch cushions for the booths. We noticed most people came to pickup takeout orders, but service was good for our dine-in experience. I look forward to returning to try the shawarma pita and hopefully learn more about the business!

So when I saw Baba's at the South Denver Beer Fest I knew I just had to try it. They had a limited menu going on but it works, I got the falafel cone and they asked if I wanted it regular or spicy and I went with spicy. It was up in a few minutes and while they were making it, I chatted with the guy and girl running the truck. We talked all things food and social media and they even have me some suggestions on where to find legit middle eastern food in the area (excluding their truck of course) , superfriendly folks. And the falafel cone? Omg, it was an instant mouthgasm in the form of a cone! The falafels had perfect consistency and flavor and the tahini was smooth and rich. They made it spicy and it had just enough spice to accent the flavors but not overtake it. I was a sad panda when I finished it. If you see them around, definitely check it out and get some balls in your mouth!!

Their falafel is excellent--very flavorful and delicious. And they have come up with some very inventive ways to use it. For example, they have created a falafeldilla and nachos,both using hummus & falafel. I got the "nachos," and the spicy sauce they use is soooo good. Plus, the people are nice & friendly, which is always important. I will definitely be paying them another visit in the near future. I can see me becoming a regular customer. If you'd like to know where to find them, check out their website for their schedule.

The pita tasted nice as well, but it did not hold in the contents well. They probably should've sliced and stuffed it rather than just wrapping it up taco style. It was very messy and I ended up scooping up about half the filling off of my plate with a fork. Still very good though and reasonably priced. The vibe in the restaurant is pretty cool but nothing too special. It kind of felt more like an island theme to me rather than middle eastern, but it was very subtle. I enjoyed this meal very much and would highly recommend it!

The flavor on everything is elevated and fresh!! We had hummus w/pita, falafel, and fries to start. Amazing falafel! Perfectly crispy outside and pillowy inside. For entrees, I had the lamb gyro which was one of the best I've had. The lamb is perfection and they wrap it in a roti instead of pita which was absolutely the move! The house-made pickled veggies served with it were amazing as well and really balanced the nice waiting of the lamb gyro. My wife got the Caesar salad with chicken Shawarma. That was Incredible as well! Try a side of the Harrissa in the zhug sauces to add a little fresh heat! The restaurant has great ambience with some Moroccan type vibes and a great patio. There is a 20% service charge automatically added to every check which is what it is. But for this level of flavor, it's worth it plus tip!

I walked in and noticed that it was dead inside and seems almost deserted but then realized that there was a recent name or business change happening. Needless to say it would seem to be busy for the lunch rush as it was in the business district. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita sandwich and a can of pop to go. It was already precooked and sitting in a small tabletop warmer as opposed to a spit. The pita was warmed up in the microwave and sauce was prepared and in a squeeze bottle. It seemed to be comparable to a gas station foodservice set up with no frills. When I got back to the room it disappeared in record time as I was starving. All in all if it were lunch rush maybe it would have been a better experience for me, or maybe the business was in transition to the new company, perhaps it was just the right meal served at the wrong location. My recommendation is that you flip a coin to make you own decision on this one.
