Reviews for Falafel King in Denver, CO
I love middle eastern/Mediterranean food. I thought the food was great. I'll definitely be patronizing the place again.
I love this place. The gyros are the best in town and the hummus is delicious! Always fresh, always consistent, and always hits... the spot. Read more
Small place, but the staff was friendly and quick. I ordered grape leaves and hummus with a pita. The food was tasty and the... price was reasonable. If I lived here this would be a frequent spot for me. Read more
Nice Selection, healthy choices, it smelled great when we walked in the door. We tried the Lamb/Beef, both hummus?s, the... sampler, it was all delicious. Friendly service and affordable prices. Read more
This place is so good. I?m not a fan of fast food, but this really doesn?t feel like a chain. Food is fresh and the people who... work there are super nice. Read more
When I was in my twenties, a day trip by bus to Boulder was a fun experience. My friends and I didn't go with any specific goals... in mind, just hanging out on the 16th Street Mall, perhaps visiting a bookstore or record shop. I can't imagine spending a dayso aimlessly now, and sometimes that?s a shame. In those old days, there were one or two reliable places for lunch or dinner,and Falafel King was one of them. Such good Mediterranean food - no wonder their hummus is now featured at Whole Foods,Alfalfa's, and similar outlets. Times may have changed for me, but Falafel King is still around, and I enjoy visiting theColorado Boulevard location. It brings a little bit of Boulder to Denver, and has a bit of the feeling of those older, youngerdays, too.

For those times you wish you could write a review without any stars. The menu is a bit strange because they do not make it clear... what you are ordering or what you will get. When you ask someone what the difference is they think about it too. But thatcertainly does not warrant one or no stars. What does is the hygiene practices at this establishment. I watched the worker takethe pita bread and put it on the working surface with his hand, open the pita holder and put it in. The pita holder is a barrierbetween the employee who for some reason does not wear gloves or a hat but works with fresh food that will be served uncooked. Iwas one of three people in line (not a peak time), it seemed like everyone was confused as to what to prepare and who orderedwhat. The gyro meat is shaved off the stake as normal, but they do this ahead of time and put it in a storage bin and heat it onthe grill when you order it. This is definitely not the way this is supposed to be done. Falafel balls were mediocre at bestjust like the service and attention of the staff. Save your time, choose another spot. When I brought these issues to light,again, they just looked confused and sought no immediate fix or offer to remake the food. I'd rather give my 22.00 to someoneoutside and skip dinner. Read more
