I look forward to any meal involving Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine. My friends and I were hanging out near Yemen Grill and each placed an online order for pickup. The first few orders were ready so quickly! We realized we really backed up the kitchen and should have done it as a group... but everything was so delicious! I got a Shawarma Plate. Fresh and balanced flavors. Someone got Dolmas as a side, and those were tasty as well. I wish they had more photos of dishes on their website, but it really seemed like you couldn't go wrong. I'd be interested in checking out the actual restaurant since I wasn't the one who did the pickup. Next time! read more

Really solid food. Good service and a nice space. We ordered meat & humus to start it was very good & filling. Then we had kabobs I had the rice & salad My hubs had the fries & salad. Amazing food. Huge portions and it is just as good layer. I had an interesting drink it was described as a honey latte with pistachio cream on top. It was good. Would come back and try something else. read more

I walked in this evening to break my fast during Ramadan and was told by Melissa that they weren't taking guests and that there was a long waiting list. I left without any issue, but immediately called the restaurant to double-check availability. This time, Melissa told me there was space and said to "just come on in." It's difficult not to question why I was initially turned away if tables were in fact available. As a first-time guest who was genuinely looking forward to trying the food--especially as someone who loves Yemeni cuisine--this was disappointing. I hope this was simply a misunderstanding, but the experience left me feeling unwelcome. EDIT: I appreciate the owner/manager's quick response. I'm a small business owner myself and I know how it can be. I'll give this place another try soon and reevaluate my review at that time. Stay tuned! read more

This was place incredible!!! The vibes were fantastic with beautiful decor as soon as you walk in. They had the World Cup game on and after that had beautiful traditional music playing. Per one of the waitresses, the meat is halal which is huge! The falafel was flavorful and not too dry. My friend and I split the appetizer platter and the lamb haneeth. We both walked out with some leftovers. The drinks were AMAZING!! We got the sana'a and the ibb. Fantastic flavors in both and both very rich and creamy read more

Came here to say for lunch with a friend and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food! The baba ganoush was the best I've ever had! We both got sandwiches and they were unique- I do think I prefer tadziki over the other sauce in the gyro but it was still tasty. Service was attentive and ambiance is chill! read more

We were around Wash park and decided to get some dinner from Yemen. I had seen a few videos on Tiktok about the shawarma here. We got the chicken shawarma, lamb skewers and the pistachio cake - and everything was absolutely amazing! The shawarma almost had creamy sauce which was unusual. The lamb and chicken shawarma were both perfectly seasoned and juicy. The pistachio cake however was the real surprise - not very sweet, airy, light and made with real pistachios! So glad I stopped by. Highly recommend this place and I will be back to try their other lamb options. read more

Yemen Grill & Cafe - Chicken and Lamb Combo Platter, Matcha Latte with Mango (Ibb) - Halal Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Denver just got a serious flavor upgrade. Yemen Grill & Cafe--already beloved in Aurora--just opened a new location in Denver, and I finally understand why people rave about it. Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The chicken kebab was the standout: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. I also loved the mix appetizer, especially the falafel and baba ghanouj, and the chicken shawarma plate hit all the right notes. Don't sleep on the fresh mango juice--it's bright, refreshing, and addictive. Oh, and the baklava? The perfect sweet finish. This place delivers on both taste and hospitality. If you're craving bold Middle Eastern flavors in a cozy, no-fuss setting, this new spot is absolutely worth a visit. So glad they brought this gem to the city! read more

Visited Yemen Grill & Café in Denver for lunch with three colleagues. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I ordered the combo plate (chicken & lamb kababs). The ambience was decent--nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a casual lunch. The staff were polite, welcoming, and attentive, which made a positive impression. As someone with an Asian palate, I felt the flavors could have been a bit more vibrant. The kababs tasted more like simply grilled ground meat, and I didn't notice much in the way of spices or seasoning. That said, the food was still okay and enjoyable in its own mild way. Overall, a decent spot with good service. I'd be open to visiting again and trying other items on the menu. read more

We ordered two family platters as we're 8 people. It comes with juice so we got the mango one and we substituted one for chai as well. The chicken Mandi was not that good but the other meat was very good. We were all so full. The workers are attentive as well and super nice. He accommodated us as we were a big party. There was a carpet on the wall and there was a back home incense smell that felt like you were back home. The best place to eat at I would definitely recommend. read more

If you are trans or gender nonconforming I would avoid this place. The waitress misgendered me, and I lost my appetite immediately.

While the food here is still solid- it is no longer my favorite middle eastern grill spot in the broader Denver metro. The service is a little too cheeky and lackadaisical at this price point to garner my undivided recommendation. Also, most of the smoothies were sold out by 8pm which is a hallmark of this establishment. When we arrived there were several open tables but it took five minutes for someone to help us- they proceeded to tell us there is a 15-20 minute wait but after pushing back we were seated in less than a minute. read more

Yemen grill was delicious! The prices are a little bit high at first but I was able to get a full meal and 2 small leftovers meals from the gyro plate! Came in based upon a recommendation and also the hilarious Instagram posts! Excited to come back for their drinks! read more

The food here is so good!! The Sana'a latte has the most delicious pistachio cold foam (I do half sweet on it). The falafel is crisp and fresh. The chicken shawarma plate is my go to. It's my favorite slow Saturday lunch!! People are always so kind here too! Highly recommend. read more

I agree with all the 5-star reviews! Our first meal here was so delicious!! We had the gyro plate and the gyro sandwich (which is a grilled wrap) to go. They were both incredible! The sandwich was probably the best, though it was a little oily. The rice and salad on the gyro plate were delicious, but of course the meat was the star. 100% we will be back. read more

I just ordered plates of kabobs, lamb and come with fries and rice. I only received the rice with kabobs. They charged me $28 for what you see in the picture. I called them and the answer was; yes this is what you got. They are scams and they have really bad customer service. I don't recommend this restaurant. I'll never go back there again read more

My bestie and I went to Yemen Grill for a Wednesday dinner and it did not disappoint. We had driven by it many times and said that we need to go there, and when we finally did it was great!

I've never tried Yemeni food before, but this felt authentic and everything tasted amazing!!! The interior of the restaurant is homey, comforting, and has a lovely ambience. Our server was friendly and welcoming, and asked us lots of questions about what we thought of the food. We tried SO MUCH, but my favorite was by far the Saltah, which I've heard is the national dish of Yemen!!! It was so warm and AMAZING on a sore throat on a cold day. I already recommended this place to my friends in state. read more

5/5 Yemen Grill & Cafe - Denver, CO I stopped in recently and was blown away by how good this place is. I ordered the gyro plate with hummus and a Turkish coffee, and every bite was packed with flavor. The food tasted authentic, fresh, and made with care easily some of the best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine I've had in Denver. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed but lively. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both the food and the service. If you enjoy dishes like shawarma, gyros, or anything with that rich Middle Eastern flavor profile, this spot deserves to be on your list. The coffee alone is worth the stop strong, smooth, and served perfectly. A fantastic find that reminded me of the flavors of Iraq and Afghanistan during my Army days. Bold, warm, and full of heart. I'll definitely be back. read more

Benin made the overall experience even more magical and left a lasting impression. Highly recommend Yemen Grill & Cafe and will definitely be coming back! read more

I LOVED this place actually. There was some wait between ordering and our food coming out, but wait staff was very sociable and funny, which improved that experience. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the Lamb Kebab and everyone at the table had a bite and loved it. Some of my friends got the sandwiches also and found them delicious and a good deal. The price is ever so slightly on the higher side, especially if you are getting appetizers and drinks. I still think it is worth every penny, though. I am excited to go back or maybe even try to Aurora location. read more

Found this restaurant on TikTok and it did not disappoint. When we arrived on Sunday lunch, the restaurant was about half full. We were seated shortly after arriving. The waitress recommended a few drinks of which we got a honey chai and the Ibb. Let me tell you the ibb was SO GOOD! Perfect balance of matcha flavors paired mango syrup and mango cold foam. I will be going back for this drink alone. Then for food, we ordered an appetizer of hummus then the gyro and lamb kebab plate. Every bite of all of them was WOW! The meat was cooked to perfection and was a generous portion. The hummus was creamy and flavorful. I will be back! read more

Alright, Denver foodies--if you haven't checked out the newly opened Yemen Grill, you are seriously missing out. This isn't just a meal, it's a full-on sensory experience that blends warmth, culture, and flavor with heart and hospitality. Plus, there's plenty of convenient parking available right behind the restaurant (which, let's be honest, is a huge win in this city). I started with the Sana'a Latte (لاتيه صنعاء)--and let me just say, your average coffee shop could never. Rich espresso sweetened with golden honey, crowned with a luscious pistachio sweet cream... It was warm, dreamy, and completely addictive. Next up was the Baba Ghanouj (بابا غنوج). It arrived with warm, pillowy pita and had this beautiful smoky depth from the eggplant, layered with tahini, garlic, and lemon. Smooth, creamy, and full of flavor--I had to stop myself from licking the plate. For the main, I went with the Grilled Fish (سمك مشوي), and wow. Perfectly grilled and seasoned, served with fragrant Yemeni rice, a crisp salad of cucumber, tomato, and lettuce dressed in zesty goodness, plus a jalapeño and lemon for that extra punch. Everything was balanced and intentional--nothing on the plate felt like an afterthought. Then came dessert. First, the Basbousa (بسبوسة)--a semolina and coconut cake soaked in syrup that was sweet, sticky, and just the right amount of crumbly. A total delight. And finally, the Masoob (معصوب), which was new to me and absolutely incredible. Think mashed bananas, ground flatbread, cream, honey, and black sesame. The textures, the warmth, the sweetness--it's like dessert and comfort food had a baby. The space is clean and welcoming, the service is warm and attentive, and you can truly feel the passion behind every dish. Yemen Grill is the kind of spot you want to tell everyone about--while secretly hoping it stays your little secret. Do yourself a favor: go hungry, and get ready to fall in love. read more
