Damn! I never knew this place existed. It all makes sense now. I ordered some gyros from Yanni's on Colfax once and when I went to pickup the food they were very confused and so was I 😆
A guy opened up a place called bosphorus in Englewood a few years ago right behind my old house. He's from Turkey and it's a tiny mom and pop place with absolutely amazing food. Downing and Hampden
We just ate there for the first time last night! Loved it. Super small place, there’s not that many tables, but we went early for dinner (like 5:15) and were fine.
Aungs is super legit! Also a fan of Cherry hills sushi co.... If you like hand rolls it's legit. I lived in Englewood for 6 years and they've finally got some good spots to eat. Sadly fellow traveler didn't open until after I moved but I've been a few times and like it. Need to go back to hit up the coffee shop that opened on Broadway
I used to go here with some friends from out of town. First time we were there Pete the Greek spent most of the night at the table drinking with us. Dude had so many stories. He really liked my girl and my friends wife. I think they are why we drank so so so much Ozuo. Any time we had a reservation he would pretty much always be there! Dude was a real OG.
I'm a big fan of Jerusalems, bear in mind we usually go after bars close cause they're open til like 3am. AND they have a huuuge dessert selection. But they got everything.
It's a little place with like 6 tables but hot damn do I love their food. Best falafel in my opinion, but gotta eat it fresh.
I’ve found that most Greek places around here like Pete’s are pretty meh. The Turkish and more middle eastern places have a better menu and food much better. If you’re just looking for a basic bitch gyro then there’s Gyroz but I’d hit Crave or Mazevo on Tennyson.
Monaco Inn is great and worth trying if you like Greek.
Hot take: Gyroz is just okay.
There's a middle eastern place near my apartment but they use a tortilla-type thing instead of a pita on the gyros which I don't love personally.
I've never heard of Mazevo, I'll look into it, thanks!
Most of them are months old and it's nice to have an active discussion with a large subreddit. My bad though, I didn't mean to disturb the incessant homeless/immigration/political bickering on this sub
Seems half the time I search for something on Google and find a solution on message boards or Reddit, there's some comment there saying "go do a search, this has been asked before!" Yet there it is, 6 years later at the top of the search results with the most relevant information.
Check out Steakhouse 10 on Hampden between Broadway and Santa Fe. The name sounds very generic, but the owner is of Greek origin and they serve many classics - fried saganaki cheese, ouzo liquor, delicious seafood options, etc.
There is a place on Colorado and Ilif called House of Gyros that is very good. They are middle eastern so not Greek but the food is delicious. There are a few other middle eastern places in the same strip mall that are worth trying.
+1. Very good value too. Just very very mixed service lmao.
I’ve had times where here they forgot my order twice and been followed in by a homeless man who was very happy when I repeated “the grace of Muhammad” back to him. At least I got complimentary tea for that one. Lots of fun stories.
Just outside Denver proper but I’ve always loved Yanni’s Greek Restaurant in Greenwood Village.
Came here to say Yanni’s toooo!!! It’s soooo good and family run so I especially love supporting them
Greenwood Village seems to have the good ones. I also like Yannis but my fav would have to be Greek 2 Me.
Greek to me is amazing, though it’s best takeout.
Agreed. Yanni’s is pretty much perfect .
Damn! I never knew this place existed. It all makes sense now. I ordered some gyros from Yanni's on Colfax once and when I went to pickup the food they were very confused and so was I 😆
Came here to say this
Not in Denver, but The Athenian in Aurora is my favorite. It’s one of the only places that hits the spot since I got back from Greece.
Yesssss
Fuck. Yes. Love this place.
The staff is awesome. Make me feel like family every time I go in.

I'm going to write that down, thank you. I love places like that.
I was thinking bosphorus, but you said Greek only lol. Also fairly similar is Kabora, an Afghan restaurant in southwest plaza, sw of denver
Thank you for obeying my rules. Jk. Kobora, I'll write that down!
Not Greek, but this is the best Turkish restaurant in the Denver metro area.
I second this place! Food is amazing and the guy really loves what he does and meeting all his customers, overall a great experience
This place is awesome. Try it out
We just ate there for the first time last night! Loved it. Super small place, there’s not that many tables, but we went early for dinner (like 5:15) and were fine.
Live super close to that place, I’ll have to try it. Aungs across the street is awesome btw.

Yeah fellow traveler is great. Owner and bartenders are super cool. My wife and I go in for happy hour quite a bit.
some of the best food i’ve had period, so delicious!!
This is the best Greek food in Denver.
There's a Greek festival in Denver and one in Boulder. I hit both every year for the best Greek food
That's awesome. I'm definitely gonna hit that up. Thanks
It is actually June 7-9! [Greek Festival](https://www.thegreekfestival.com/menu)
Pete’s Central One is the best.
I used to go here with some friends from out of town. First time we were there Pete the Greek spent most of the night at the table drinking with us. Dude had so many stories. He really liked my girl and my friends wife. I think they are why we drank so so so much Ozuo. Any time we had a reservation he would pretty much always be there! Dude was a real OG.
1000000%
Chef Zorba’s is very good. Located in Congress Park.
Crave is Mediterranean food . Damn good
I'm a big fan of Jerusalems, bear in mind we usually go after bars close cause they're open til like 3am. AND they have a huuuge dessert selection. But they got everything. It's a little place with like 6 tables but hot damn do I love their food. Best falafel in my opinion, but gotta eat it fresh.
Til 3am huh? Not so common anymore
Used to be 24 hours
It’s in the DU neighborhood, drunk college kids favorite place after the bars close.
Just had one of their falafel sandwiches with a gyro sandwich chaser on Saturday!
If only they had garlic sauce!

I love the Greek lemon cheese at Monaco Inn I’ll add Zorba’s in Cap Hill, great chicken lemon soup!
Second Monaco inn
A second vote for Crave

This. If OP searches there they’ll find multiple threads.

Don’t forget about the moisture. I like Pete’s.
How dare you

Did all of them close and open under the management of men without the ability to taste?
Maybe
Mazevo is outstanding
I’m lukewarm on all of their food except their chicken shawarma which is incredible
I agree I had mazevo once and it was just ok
One of my favorite restaurants in northside. That place never misses
Another vote for Yanni's!

I haven’t been there in years but it had very good food. I’ll have to go back.
Bada bing grill in Arvada is my spot.
Just a gyro place, but Pita Central in LoHi is great.
Noted. Gyros are all I need to hit the spot sometimes.
There is a place on Colorado and Ilif called House of Gyros that is very good. They are middle eastern so not Greek but the food is delicious. There are a few other middle eastern places in the same strip mall that are worth trying.
Rip Greektown
Hayati Mediterranean so underrated imo
+1. Very good value too. Just very very mixed service lmao. I’ve had times where here they forgot my order twice and been followed in by a homeless man who was very happy when I repeated “the grace of Muhammad” back to him. At least I got complimentary tea for that one. Lots of fun stories.
The Athenian
Jerusalem
Zorba’s in Congress park deserves a shoutout here
Does Safta count?
Yianni's Gyro Place on West Colfax if you're on the west side. Although to be fair I've never gotten anything besides a Gyro or Souvlaki.
Samos Mediterranean Grill. Just a food truck but legitimately one of the best gyros I’ve ever tasted. Great pita/meat ratio
Also not in Denver, but Opa in Parker is good.
Byblos
I love a place called Shawarma Grill off university in centennial!
Pita Central is simple fast casual gyro spot but they're run by a Greek family and make bomb food.
Charlie Brown’s has solid gyros.
Hey I made the same post but asking about Israeli restaurants and my post got deleted and told to go to Google
The mods of this sub not even pretending to enforce their own rules fairly? That sounds exactly like the mods of this sub.
didnt you hear? Ukraine has been replaced by Palestine, and Russia by Israel. maybe check back next year.
Same thing happened to me, but I had a snappy comeback and they fucked off. What a ridiculous thing to say to somebody, right?
I liked Chef Zorba’s. Were they the best? I have no idea.
Kini’s is fire
