GOLDEN FALAFEL

Wow, what a treat! We are visiting Denver for the gem show. After a very long day of shopping, we were famished. We ordered way too much food, and loved everything! We got the gyro plate, vegetarian sampler, lentil soup and pickled veggies. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! My favorite thing was the baba ghanouj! The sweet and tangy flavor of pomegranate seeds was the perfect addition to the creamy eggplant. We also enjoyed sipping on the Moroccan Mint tea. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Stopped by on my lunch break and ordered the lamb shank. They said it would take about 20, but they whipped it up in 15. Took my first bite and was blown away 🤯 The salad was amazing and the lamb was cooked great with savory sauce and onions on top. Absolutely delicious, definitely worth a try.

We had a pretty good meal at Golden Falafel. We started off with a greek salad which was good 7/10. As an appetizer we tried the falafel, good flavor, a little undercooked but still happy with them 7.5/10. The entrees came with a side of hummus, which was a little on the bland side, but still a nice sized portion 5/10. The pita was thin and flat and also left a little to be desired 5.5/10. For entrees I got the gyro, much better than other places that I have been to. The seasoning and flavor were great, the rice left a lot to be desired 8/10. My girlfriend had the chicken shawarma plate, which was alright, the meat was a little thin but all in all 6.5/10. For a dessert we got the baclava, which was very small, but still tasted pretty good 6.5/10. I do not live close to here and would not say that it was worth the drive. If you live close to here, this is an alright spot for Mediterranean food.

Elevator speech -gyro, fries, falafel good, pita dry not homemade, hummus too bitter, too much tahini. Interior decoration is miserable, weird vibes. - - - - - - - If you are still with me, I’ll say, overall it was a good experience. The older gentlemen that served us wasn’t nice but wasn’t mean, and was attentive and quick. I didn’t mind that. We had high hopes for the pita bread as it was large and looked ALMOST homemade but it definitely wasn’t. Dry and leathery. I would go back for the gyro and the fries oddly enough. The fries are really good and certainly homemade. I ended with a Turkish coffee and it’s the first coffee that’s woke me up in a while. Tiny and mighty! Lastly, this is JUST ME because I’m really into music, (audiophile) but they have a really small, pitchy speaker that sounds terrible, full blast in there. It made it super awkward and comical. Felt like we were on an episode of always sunny or something funny like that. Alright, tootles.
