Amira Grill is a hidden gem on Colorado Boulevard. Don’t expect a fancy dining room, it’s more of a casual diner or takeout spot, but that’s part of the charm. The space is small, with seating for about 10–20 people, plus a few outdoor tables if you want to enjoy your meal outside. I ordered the mixed meat plate with chicken and beef, and it was excellent. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and clearly cooked fresh. The hummus was creamy and delicious, and the garlic sauce with the warm pita was the perfect combination. The owner is also the cook, which makes the whole place feel welcoming and authentic. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the portions are generous. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect after a long day when you want something casual but really satisfying. If you’re craving authentic Lebanese-Mediterranean food in Denver, Amira Grill is definitely worth a visit.

We ate 2-11-26...theu had a big sign saying opening Jan. 30...maybe it was a remodle, reopen because how does it have 800 review already? We walk in the the counter with 1 paper menu. The cashier talked a little about it. When she got to the section of taco's, she kinda nervously laughed and said "We are still working on the menu"...even if the menu isn't completely finalized, who in their right mind would put tacos on what was advertised out front as a Lebonese restaurant? Upon seeing the menu, would I consider this Lebenese, no. It's just an average Mediterranean style restaurant. Everything listed you would see at any other greek place....no lebenese specific dishes like kibbeh, shish taouk, kafta, or meghli. We got baba ganoush, and a mixed grill plate. Both were just very average, with my guess you could get as good or better at the gyoro place next door. It's only saving grace was how the remodle looked...nice clean and bright. I just don't go to restaurants because of how they look. We will likely not return.

I got the chicken quesadilla, which hit the spot just right! Still great from when I came here six or so years ago. Pro tip: Use the spicy sauce. It's identified by the photo of the bottle I added. It makes everything delicious! 😋

Had the Gyros plate but given less than half a pita in triangle pieces. Old owner gave large hot from the oven fresh pita. I won't be back. Crave is much better.
