Yahya's Mediterranean Grill & Pastries

I've eaten here several times, but had not been in for awhile. I brought a friend. This is a family-run business. The space is basic, but comfortable. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The food is fantastic and the portions are generous. Prices are very reasonable. We shared the Baba Ganoush to start. This is pureed, baked eggplant. Here tahini and pomegranate molasses were added. I am not a big eggplant fan, but this was phenomenal. The presentation was gorgeous with the puree spread out beautifully on a large dish, topped with olives, paprika, parsley, and a very generous dollop of delicious olive oil. An outstanding version of this dish. We received a large plate of very fresh pita triangles to go with the baba ganoush. These were great. We definitely used them to scrape every speck of eggplant off that platter! We both ordered the Gyro Plate. The gyro meat was very authentic, extremely tender, and very flavorful. The plate included a large tower of savory rice, a rich tzatziki sauce, a nice side of silky hummus, some pickled vegetables, and more pita. Another delicious offering and a huge portion. We also had soup as the entrees come with soup or salad. My friend tried the lentil soup and said it was flavorful and tasty. I had the tomato soup which was hardy and richly-flavored. This was a great meal. There's a pastry case with a choice of many Middle Eastern desserts. My friend selected several to take home and we staggered out of the restaurant with lots of leftovers that will make a delightful lunch tomorrow. A wonderful experience.

The place had a beautiful atmosphere with delightful service, the food had a taste I never want to forget, with extraordinarily authentic flavors like no other place you could find. Yahya shows he has worth then any other place within miles of Denver. I mean this from my heart you need to try this food from the fry’s to the lamb the best dish you will ever have.

Love eating at Yahya’s! The food is so delicious and the service is perfect. I always have to get the tomato basil soup because it’s so warm and cozy! the beef kabobs are my go-to. I would absolutely die for the baklava.

Omg where do I even start?! Yahya’s food is incredible and is the number one requested food from our guests for events. Every item on the menu is curated with such love and intention, and you can taste that in every bite. The kabobs are savory and succulent, the falafel the best I’ve ever had. And don’t even get me started on the pistachio baklava! It’s a little slice of heaven. Flaky, rich, perfectly sweet, and somehow light enough that you’ll want seconds (and thirds). It’s the kind of dessert people fight over at the end of the night. Yahya himself is amazing—super responsive, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. He’s not just throwing food together; he’s crafting experiences. You can tell he genuinely cares about making people happy through his cooking. He always ensures my displays are beautiful and my guests enjoy what they are eating. Don’t walk to Yahya’s…run. Seriously, you will not be disappointed! And if you are having an event, order this food. Your guests will be in for a treat!
