Zaman is an awesome restaurant on the corner of Logan and Alameda. You can dine in or take out, but if you dine in, all meals are served with delicious lentil soup. We got the kibbeh appetizer and chicken shwarma plate. The portions here are huge, so our appetizer and entree was more than enough to feed two adults. The staff here is so nice. They even gave us Syrian ice cream rolled in pistachios as a free dessert. read more

We discovered this Mediterranean restaurant by chance and glad that we did. The decor was clean and very tasteful. Seating was plentiful but parking was small. We chose to sit outside at one of the tables that had a fence full of pretty flowers. I chose the falafel with hummus sandwich that was fresh, crunchy, and tasty. The food was authentic and freshly baked. Staff were friendly and served us complimentary lentil soup. We shared a delicious baklava for dessert. We had an enjoyable experience. read more

Great comfy, informal place with fabulous Levantine food, most of which predated any national borders that exist in modern memory. There are regional differences, of course and this variation comes from Syria. The hummus and babaganoush were particularly creamy, likely due to extra tahini. Flavors were not hot, but were spicy and flavorful. The falafel differed from our local place outside of Philadelphia, where Turkish immigrants run the restaurant but is no less enjoyable. The baklava was loser, and servings larger, but how can you not like baklava? The pies were unique in my experience, but enjoyed by all. The pickles were outstanding. Portions were large and easily shared. Visit. You will not regret it. read more

I have been meaning to try this place based on Yelp reviews and recommendations and finally did, I was extremely disappointed, went on a weekend during lunch hour, place was not busy when I got there, nice cozy environment but I sat outside because it was nice weather, hostess/waitress was nice and personable, my gyro sandwich had good flavor but they were extremely STINGY with the meat specially for the price, I have had gyros from Greeley to Colorado Spring to Steamboat, I am not trying to be mean but I felt ripped off, I didn't write the review right away because I didn't want to be emotional, I gave 2 stars because of the employee interaction, I will not go back read more

Meat & chicken shwarma sandwiches were tasty. Very good humus and pita. The lentil soup was my fav. The pastries looked good but no room. Order at register and bus yourself. The middle eastern touches of objects were nice. read more

Zaman makes some authentic and tasty Mediterranean food. The staff was so friendly in helping pick out what to order and giving recommendations. The prices are a bit steep for the amount of food you get. I ended up getting the chicken shawarma sandwich and it was a lot of flatbread and not a ton of meat. I got spicy garlic sauce that enhanced allll the flavors. Tables inside and outside - although the outside is just in a parking lot. read more

I was in the mood for Middle Eastern food when I walked into this restaurant, and I was immediately impressed. The service was incredibly friendly, the food was excellent, and the entire place was spotless. A clean bathroom is always a good sign of what's happening in the kitchen, and this place passed with flying colors. Everything is made fresh and tastes authentic. One of my many favorite dishes was the falafel and hummus -- they seriously should bottle and sell their hummus because the texture is unbelievably smooth and delicious. The kebbeh, tabbouleh, za'atar cheese pie, chicken, beef, kafta kabobs, and gyro were all fantastic. There were five of us, and the 4-Person Family Mix Grill was more than enough food. To top it all off, we had tea and Turkish coffee with their incredible baklava -- hands down the best I've ever had. You can actually watch them brew the Turkish sand coffee (hovoli) by burying a small coffee pot into hot sand heated over an open flame. It was such a treat to experience and watch. Zaman clearly makes their food fresh daily and takes immense pride in both their food and service. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Zaman's! read more

Friendly place, clean, inviting, fresh food. We had the lentil soup, hummus and fresh-baked pita (mmm!), chicken shawarma and a meat pie. So much food, we'll have leftovers for a second night. Great service. I recommend! read more

Service was mediocre at best but this place solid for its quality of food is not an overstatement. It was a to-go experience several days ago. It was mid-afternoon so the restaurant wasn't busy. We were quickly assisted once we had known what we'd wanted. The young lady who assisted wasn't really smiling; we really didn't sense any warmth from her either but she wasn't rude in anyway. One thing about this place is the pricey food. The Beef Shawarma plate - although its portion was more than decent is/was priced at $26 plus some change. Also, the grape leaves (contains 5-6) is/was priced at $13 with some change. I wish the prices were a bit lower. At home, my daughter and I immediately started eating our food. Yup, like I said, we weren't disappointed with the quality. They also gave us two oversized freshly made pita breads (came with the beef plate.) Well, I guess this explains why the steepness of the prices. All in all, the experience was good. I will utilize their business again for sure. By the way, the restaurant wasn't spotlessly clean which is always a plus. read more

Highly recommend. The tasty food and the friendly service are worth coming back again and again.

Excellent food and service! The staff demonstrated outstanding hospitality, and the restaurant was very clean.

As soon as I walked in I knew I was in good hands. Davit was very respectful and orderly. Hannah was also nice. Food was a 10/10, would stop by again. read more

Food, service, atmosphere were all five star experiences. David, our server, could not have been better. The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and tasted great. This is definitely a restaurant that you need electronic maps to find. You probably would not stumble on to this place. But you should go out of your way to get here. read more

Wow! Zaman was outstanding. Everything was bursting with flavor! I'm so happy I found a place serving mouth-watering arabic food in Denver!!! Forget everything you thought you knew about arabic food, this place is a whole new level. I drove by this place so many times, and my friend luckily happened to pick Zaman for dinner today. First of all, I must say the restaurant was immaculate, clean, and simple which I really appreciate. It is a family-owned restaurant, and I could really see the love and care that they put into this restaurant. Hats off to Rola and family! We started with an aromatic lentil soup, the Zaa'tar with cheese pie, and the Meat Plate. The pie was really something special and I got the best cheese pull! The meat plate included a little bit of everything; ground beef kabobs, chicken pieces, and steak pieces with rice, and a side of hummus, tabbouleh salad, warm pita bread, and the most delicious pickles in the world. I especially liked the hint of spiciness in the pickles. My mouth is still watering just thinking about it. read more

Zaman Mediterranean Fresh - Chicken Shawarma sandwich with Falafel & Hummas - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

While tasty I can not justify $20 for this amount of food. No sides, just a gyro. $19.62 to be exact. I spent less on 3 sushi rolls down the street for lunch yesterday. Wassim, I appreciate the reply but I ordered at the counter and waited for my gyro, there was no third party involved. read more

Zamans is a really simple strip mall restaurant...do not expect fancy smancy inside decor but what you get in return is solid food with friendly service. First off they have bomb ass Humus and Baba ghanoush both are exemplary versions that do not go overboard on the flavorings....you know the kind that can be insanely smokie. Simple sandwiches and plates of generous well prepared food at pretty reasonable prices await you. My Falafel sandwich was good although I am more the half a warm pita and stuff each side rather than a pita wrap which I do not like. Good Shawarma, solid vegetarian plates. Fries were meh. The food will not wow you like Golden Falafel of Sahara but for what it is and where it is located Zaman will do you fine read more

Unfortunately my most recent visit was not as good as the last. The pita was just as delicious and fresh as before, but the baba ghanoush tasted fermented, especially the larger chunks of eggplant, as if it had started to go bad. The service was very friendly and quick as always. read more

Food: So yummy!! So fresh!! (1) Gyro plate (shared with one other person and I'm so glad I did because we still had one serving left even after we split it). The food amount/quality for the price cannot be beat! (2) Falafel appetizer was delicious! Comes with 6 golf ball size. Nice dipping sauce as well Service: This place is fast casual (like a noodles and co, Panera, etc). Easy weekday vibe. The gal at the front was super attentive and got us an extra fresh pita with our to-go box - what?! Super nice! Ambience: Honestly a little lack luster. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or the fact that it's in a tiny strip mall with a small amount of parking. But the food is fire so it's all worth it. This is definitely my new go to for mediterranean food pickup/delivery. Not sure I'll be back to dine in but I'm certain I'll be back! read more

The service is top tier!! The owner is so friendly, talks you through recommendations, ingredients, AND you get complementary lentil soup when you dine in!! The lentil soup is absolutely delicious and the owner even gave us baked pita chips with the soup! We ordered a Vegetable Combo Plate, and this meal is stacked! Falafel, tabouleh, Mediterranean salad, baba ganoush, hummus, and yellow rice! 10/10!!! We also ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich, and it's presented like a wrap with pickled veggies and fries on the side. It is HUGE! Best chicken shawarma sandwich from this side of the Mississippi. Lastly, we ordered the Meat Combo Plate! Left speechless. Rice was perfect, meats were delicious, and tabouleh salad was exactly what we were looking for -- so fresh! And the portions were all so big!! The restaurant has parking right in front, self serve water and tea, and the food came out very fast! A good amount of seating inside and beautiful decor. read more

Great middle eastern food. Among the very best in Denver. Friendly staff. Pleasant dining room. Everything made fresh.

Had a great experience at Zaman. I ordered the beef Shawarma bowl for lunch, and it was delicious - the service was also very quick and friendly. read more

Great place with fantastic mediterranean cuisine - all of the falafel/kebab/wraps that you want to try. Feels like a small, family owned restaurant. Very attentive service. They were giving us free lentil soup to go w/ our meals, which was a really nice touch! Flavors and quality of food was excellent. Some parking in the nearby adjacent lot. Prices were a little bit on the higher side for what we were getting. Fries portion was a little smaller. Overall recommended and would definitely return if I were in the area! read more

We enjoyed a spectacular second visit. These people love people, community and food. They very thoughtfully prepare food. We are thankful they are here in Denver. They are bursting with talent and passion. Don't mind the parking. It is tight but worth figuring out. Note that the food is several notches above fast casual but the way they handle operations is slow casual. Elevated dining that is not served? read more

Terrific food. Zotter and cheese pie was awesome. Arabian style beef wrap was fully kick ass. Great baba ghanouj and hummus. And the passionfruit juice was quite special and I don't even like passionfruit. The highlight, however, was the lovely woman at the counter who guided us with great care and strong opinions in our choices. None of this "this one is really popular" bullshit. A gem. I'll be back. read more

First-time experience at Zaman, and I'll be glad to return. Hadn't eaten lunch and only had some coffee and a bit of yogurt for breakfast, so come 2 pm I was hunnngry. But the problem was my honey and I were meeting friends for an early dinner out and so I didn't want to ruin my appetite. Hence the question of what to do. Passed by Zaman and had seen some very good reviews of it and had the great thought: hey, maybe they sell appetizer sized portions of one of my favorite Middle Eastern dishes--baba ghanoush with a pita. I was thinking, maybe I could have a few bites of that and not spoil my appetite for dinner a little later. So that's what I did. I stopped on by and picked up a to-go order since they did have that on the menu and bingo...food problem solved. Didn't just like it. I loved it. Almost as good as Yayha's, my favorite Middle Eastern spot, so I will be happy to try out some of their other dishes. Liked the fast casual set-up and the nice people who ran the place. All-in-all an excellent experience. Sign me, David "Satisfied but not filled up"M. read more

Awesome fresh fluffy warm pita! The rest of the meal (chicken shawarma plate and beef shawarma plate) were also delicious -- fresh, well spiced and well grilled. The hummus was also one of the best I have had from a restaurant. read more

This particular restaurant is a cut above the rest in Denver. The pita bread makes others seem like just warm cardboard. Saffron rice which contains a full spectrum of flavors, as well as the creamy, flavorful, homemade hummus. The prices are a bit elevated, however, the Syrian culinary experience is truly impressive and absolutely worth it. The only thing that's more amazing than the presentation is the epic flavors given. A middle eastern experience that certainly excites the senses. read more

The takeout here was good! It's nicely packed in a sturdy container with separators. Ordered a chicken shawarma plate and zataar and cheese pie. The plate is a generous serving of chicken over rice with tangy hummus and a salad of your choice. The pickled veg was a nice touch too. The rice was excellent and so flavorful! The chicken was dry, but I liked everything else on the plate. My dining companion really liked the zataar and cheese pie, but - for me - wasn't as fluffy as cheesy as I'd hoped. I guess I'd read a lot of positive reviews about this in particular so maybe it was just overhyped. I should have taken photos but was too hungry :) read more

Just picked up 1schwarma sandwich and 1 gyro sandwich $38 bucks plus tip for a mediocre skinny sandwich that comes with nothing. What a rip. Not that great for the price. Better off going to Crave on Colorado Blvd for the real deal for less and get more. Never Again. read more

Came up from the Springs to meet up with family and decided to stop here for dinner--we're very glad we did! Everything was delicious.

Really yummy food go there once a week I don't get tried of the shawarma the people serving me was really nice

It's been several months since my first visit. It was nice to see they are still in business. I noticed their prices have not increased. I started with an order of Kebbeh which is bulgur dough stuffed with minced beef, onions and spices served with Tzatziki sauce. Nice and hot. The Tzatziki sauce was a nice counterpoint. I got the Veggie Combo plate with Baba Ghanouj (eggplant with tahini, lemon & garlic), Hummus (chickpeas blended with tahini and lemon), small Mediterranean salad, stuffed grape leaves, Tabouleh (finely chopped parsley with tomato and onion) with a large portion of yellow rice all with a large round of pita bread. I got an extra salad with a complimentary cup of Lentil soup and mint flavored yogurt drink. Mayte C took my order and brought out my food. The Kebbeh took a little longer to arrive since the meat was cooked and blended before being stuffed in the dough and lightly fried. They do not have liquor license, but plenty of soft drinks including yogurt beverages. The mint flavored yogurt was good. I got a 2nd round of pita round to take home to dip in the remaining hummus & Baba ghanouj. read more

I stopped by here for a quick dinner. The wait time was definitely on the longer side, they do offer complimentary tea & lentil soup which is a nice traditional touch. I passed on both though which I'm glad about because my friend thinks the lentil soup upset her stomach. I got the chicken shawarma & the best part was definitely the pita. My friend got one of the platters but by the time we got home after stopping by voodoo donuts she felt too unwell to eat it. read more

I could die happy! Best hummus, and pita bread I've ever had in my entire life. And believe me I've had a lot of it. The only words that come to mind are amazingly delicious and fresh and super flavorful! The Gyros were delicious as well, along with the grape leaves and the tabouli. I will 100% be coming back over, and over, and over again. read more
