I was last here on their opening day of June 28, 2023. They are across the street from my favorite Italian restaurant, Spuntino. I came back to have a Mediterranean meal. I got the Chicken Sando with spicy & crunchy Israeli pickles and a generous amount of chicken, with red slaw served in a pita. I added the Sonny's salad with iceberg & romaine lettuce with chunks of roasted sweet potatoes, plenty of pecans and a drizzled cucumber yogurt dressing. I added 3 Falafel balls. I also got a can of SanPellegrinno Aranciata Rosso, an Italian soft drink with blood orange. An excellent filling meal. You order at the counter, select your drinks and they hand a table sign to you. My food was delivered quickly. The inside was very clean with white metal tables and chairs. They have a larger bar menu with wines, cocktails and beer. They serve breakfast on Sunday mornings only from 9am-11am, before their regular hours of 11am-9pm. They also have Happy Hours from 2pm-5pm. I will come back both Happy Hours and Sunday breakfast. read more

Cute little spot but the chicken pita was so over filled it just broke apart and everything fell out. Pretty pricey for a pita too! Would've like to see more affordable options since it's literally just chicken. If you want to buy a whole rotisserie chicken, get ready to pay $42! Also, the za'atar fries were $9 - wouldn't mind paying that if they were worth it... but the sauce isn't great and the seasoning they put on top isn't anything special. If you're looking for Mediterranean, maybe skip this place. read more

We met up with a friend to try this place out. 5:30 was perfect to show up before it got really packed. This is fast casual so there isn't a lot of seating. First the staff was all really friendly and helpful. We started with the baba ganoush/pita and orzo salad. The baba ganoush was nice and smokey but the star of the show was the fluffy, warm pita. The orzo salad needed salt and we ended up bringing it home with us. The hubs ate it with eggs the next morning with a hit of salt and it was really good. I went with the pita sandwich with falafel and #1 with harissa. It was so much flavor, so good that I basically devoured the sammie in about five minutes. The hubs and our friend also ordered pita sandwiches. The hubs went with the #3 with chicken and our friend did the #2 with a combo of chicken and falafel. We all agreed the fries weren't as crispy as the ideal fry but otherwise, it was a solid first visit. read more

I can here at 2pm on a Sunday and there was no line and I walked right in. I ordered the #2 Pita Sando with the falafel and chimichuri sauce. The staff was super friendly and the service was great and efficient. The pita was flavorful and I loved the different sauces. The falafel however was a little hard and the pita was incredibly difficult to eat. I ended up taking out the falafel balls and cutting them and eating them separately outside of the pita. read more

Sonny's Mediterranean - Pita Sando #2 with falafel and chimichuri sauce - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We went here on a Thursday afternoon around 1pm and the place was packed! I cannot even imagine what this place looks like on a weekend. All three of us ordered the #3 pita sando with different variations of protein and sauces, and we all loved it! It was super easy, but also very messy haha. The one negative and reason for four stars is how long it took from ordering to getting our food. It was probably about 25-minutes, which in my opinion is very long for a fast-casual place, especially on a weekday. read more

Sonny's Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Want high quality, delicious Mediterranean food in a casual environment? Sonny's is THE SPOT. We were craving some sandwiches and carbs after a night of drinking and decided to checkout Sonny's with the great things we had heard. Not your typical sandwich, and so much better. They're tucked away in the upper highlands and have a small outdoor seating area that is perfect for people watching on a Saturday! We were lucky enough to get to meet the owners. What a joy! David and Lena are so down to earth, kind and pumped to bring good food to Denver! They took the time to talk to us and know our names, which feels so rare nowadays! You might've heard about this place as David was a former chef at Safta. While Safta is upscale and delicious, Sonny's brings approachable Mediterranean food in a casual environment for people to love and doesn't skip a beat on flavors! You order up front, take a table number and they bring the food out to you. On to the food. Damn! The sandwiches were beyond flavorful, juicy, saucy and complex in flavors. The rotisserie chicken is so tender and flavorful. Sando #2 we got with harissa. The tzatziki made it so refreshing and creamy along with the feta. We like it spicy and it had the perfect amount of heat. Sando #3 we got with zhoug (herby sauce, fresh lime chimichurri). This one with the zhoug was spicier than #2 (highly recommend getting with zhoug if you like cilantro and spice). I was worried the fries would be thick and potatoey (which usually happens in Mediterranean places that add fries to wraps) and it was the absolute opposite here! So crispy and perfect. The sandwiches seem pricey off the bat but they are packed full. We were STUFFED. The baba ganoush was insane. SOOOO smokey. It's a laborious process that involves an intense char to give it all that flavor. You have to get this! So unique vs all the baba ganoush in denver. The pita was delicious! I got to try the falafel and I am not a falafel person, but am a changed person for their falafel! I'm used to dry crumbly, bland falafel. Not here! It's so moist on the inside and has a great cilantro and parsley flavor and so crispy on the outside. Incredible! Don't waste your time keeping this place bookmarked on Yelp forever. Get over there and enjoy some delicious Mediterranean food made by lovely owners who have poured their heart into the menu and to getting this place up and running! We can't wait to come back! read more

Sonny's Mediterranean - Falafel, tzatziki, harissa hummus, Cesar salad with roasted chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Falafel was so great! Crispy outside but soft inside, and actually had flavor. Enjoyed the options of hummus flavors.

Visiting Denver for a concert and I'm always a sucker for good Mediterranean food. Small place but packs a punch in flavor of the dishes served. Very friendly staff. Clean bathrooms and tables. Would recommend sitting outside. Can't wait to come back I'll be dreaming of this place until then. (,: read more

Super pita with falafel. But the most incredible were the zatar fries...hummus salad also good. Limited seating.

Super good Mediterranean food, and the staff is so friendly and warm and wonderful! Amazing experience all around.

Best fries in town. So many fun options on dips! The food is fresh, made to order, and seasoned to perfection. Service was friendly and fast. There were a lot of people in line, so based on that and the delicious smells, you know you're in the right spot! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! Both take out and dinning it it's amazing. Everything is so fresh, although maybe be a bit more on the $$ for a casual spot it is always worth the money. Service is great. My favorite is the fries ! Can't not get them every time!!!!! Will be always coming back!! read more

Sonny's Mediterranean - Fatoush Salad Chicken Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Got a very basic meal of two chicken Sandos w/ cucumber added and one order of fries and it was $50 before tip. I don't mind paying that type of money for dinner but in this case it wasn't worth it. Food was decent at best....there's MANY better to-go Mediterranean options, especially at that price point. read more

Used Sonny's to cater our grad party (50 ppl). It was perfect. They were responsive and helpful with the menu. Everyone at the party loved the food and I loved that the menu had something for everyone--gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, protein, dairy free, healthy. It was delish and I highly recommend! read more

3.75/5 Straight up, the food is really good. The chef has figured out a minimal menu that is bursting with flavor and options for everyone. Service was on the slower side and the staff was visually annoyed when I asked for an order update 15 minutes later. That said, they were packed and it's a fairly new spot so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt in these early days. read more

I have to agree with another yelper that left a 1 star review. Took forever. Very bland. $31 for 2 plates. A Greek salad add falafel ($4 for 3 burnt falafel) and a hummus plate with the smallest portion of hummus I have ever seen served at a "Mediterranean" place. I don't even feel it's fair to call this Mediterranean, it's like a bad faux paux trying way too hard to be "high end" and hip Mediterranean. Meanwhile they're serving your food on paper plates and trays lol. Don't even get me started on the seating situation. Crammed tiny little tables all thrown in and you basically are dining with every other person in the joint. This was a big no and a HUGE MISS. I'm positive most of these 5 star reviews are from those that have never truly had good food, read more

I got the #2 tzakiki sandwich with basil chimichurri sauce. It was really tasty and flavorful. I could not eat it as a sandwich tho,(" too messy. Inside has some seating, very small place. Two small tables outside read more

Great little Mediterranean cafe! Ordered the fattoush salad with chicken, side of falafel, harissa hummus, and pita. Everything had great flavor and the chicken was super tender. The portions are small for the price. The staff was very knowledgeable on the food, which made it helpful when deciding what to order. While this wouldn't be my go to place, it's a good addition to the area and I would stop in again to try a pita sandwich. read more

We really enjoyed Sonny's! The staff was very kind and the food was great! Highly recommend the harissa humus. That only con is that the restaurant is very small (Minimal seating options) and the music was way too loud. read more

Awesome new lunch spot in LoHi!!! Stopped in with 2 friends. The guy at the register was super friendly and helpful with our questions. I ordered a Greek salad with falafel. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great combo of fresh and tangy ingredients for the salad. Would definitely stop back! read more

Went here for the first time with my husband a week ago, and we were impressed. The food is super fresh and the cookies are delicious. (I low key wish they would share their recipe) the portions here are pretty big so you'll have yummy leftovers - if you love hummus go with their traditional option! read more

So good 10/10 loved the mezze platter to try a little bit of everything when it came to flavor. LOVE the Zhoug Aioli !!! read more

Trust me, get the baba ghanoush and the Fattoush salad. It will change your life. I love this place. It is healthy and delicious. It is a little bit expensive and that might be. It's only downfall. read more

Sonny's is such a good addition to the neighborhood. And I don't need to wax poetic on how wonderful the food is-the reviews are in and IT IS THAT GOOD. However, I must acknowledge the exceptional service we received on 11/4-lamenting I didn't get the wonderful human's name! We ordered our fantastical sandwiches and had a mod to put the pickled onions on the side. This is totally a preference for us. The pickled onions did not come on the side. We didn't think a thing about it because everything was so perfect and so good. But the lovely human working came out to our table, acknowledged it and I wanted to cry? Not about the onions. Sonny's is cranking out awesome food, incredible hospitality, and as a former restaurant worker, a really special and comforting spot. read more

Had the breakfast options which I was a little hesitant about but were delicious. The brown butter cookie too was also delicious. Will be back! read more

One of the best chickens I have had in my life, all the sauces are absolute bangers and the hummus and pita options are all spectacular

I've now been to Sonny's a few times and each experience is better then the one before. The team was getting their rhythm and now the service time has improved while the food quality continues to be amazing The #1 and #3 sandwiches are awesome and I just had the mezze platter which was also delicious. Food is great staff is friendly and great. I feel like the restaurant is more counter service than fast casual as they make everything fresh to order. Well worth stopping by and giving it a shot read more

I've lived in the LoHi neighborhood for years and I've never had such a great dining experience. The food is unbelievable, fresh, and delicious. The hospitality and service makes you feel as welcome as I would imagine it be to come home on Christmas Eve. A true family atmosphere. I've traveled the globe far and wide and haven't had Mediterranean food hit like Sonny's. So flavorful and fresh. Good for lunch, dinner, or anywhere in between. Could not recommend any more. Best Greek salad I've ever had, and I just got back from Greece. read more

Falafel, hummus and basil dressing were very good. Pita was okay. Good amount of food for the price. I will be back to try the other stuff next time! Service was friendly and they were slow so they asked 5x if I needed anything else which was nice read more

My family was excited to try this new Mediterranean place in our neighborhood. The chicken was nice and tender and the falafels were flavorful and not dry. It was all good until I was half-way into my pita sandwich and then had to pull a long (not-my) hair out of my mouth. Ew. I'd expect more quality control and less hair for a $19 sandwich. read more

Great spot for outstanding Mediterranean fare. Probably the best hummus we've ever had but everything we ordered was spectacular too. And the owners couldn't have been nicer. read more

Phenomenal addition to the neighborhood, super fresh and flavorful. Also solid kids options.

Want to provide constructive criticism for improvement: Pros: Wait staff/pace of service was friendly and welcoming Cons: 1. Ordered the number #3 sandwich but asked to half chicken and half falafel. Received only chicken and the chicken was was cold. Super disappointing when you see some beautiful rotisserie chicken cooking only to get cold chicken. 2. The pita was super disappointing. Tasted like it was microwaved and not toasted and had a rubbery texture. Want to give these guys a chance because it's a great concept but unfortunately they are going through some growing pains. read more

Best Mediterranean food in Denver! It has a limited menu but everything on the menu is done perfectly! The portions are big, every bite is packed with flavor, and every item has some type of creative/unique touch to it to make it Sonny's! I will be taking all of my friends and family here when they visit! 10/10 read more

As soon as I saw that the falafel was green inside, I knew that I had come to the right place. Green falafel is far superior to brown falafel, and you cannot convince me otherwise. This falafel was so good! It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside like falafel should be. I got the #1 pita sando with the basil chimichurri sauce, which was amazing. I would not hesitate to buy a pint of that sauce if I could. The sando also came with a generous serving of pickles. Leaving without trying the za'atar fries will be the biggest mistake of your life. Would love to see a larger selection of toppings to add to the sando, but that's not a dealbreaker. So thrilled to find delicious, authentic falafel in Denver, and I will be back for sure! read more

Excellent, awesome meal at Sonny's. Biiiiiig sandwiches and awesome sauces, hummus and falafel. The details are all there and it makes for a seriously tasty plate of food. Get the #1 with zhoug read more

Habibi! This is so good. The portion size of the plate falafel plate was huge and the falafel was green! The hummus is so smooth and creamy and the pita seemed house-made. I would 100% come back again. read more
