Don't be deterred by the humble looking exterior - this place is awesome! The grape leaves are seared, and so flavorful. The hummus is creamy and the baklava is unbelievable! Hussein was a wonderful host!

This has become one of our favorite restaurants. You know it's good when you see a local and loyal following. The falafels are the best we've had since Athens, and the hummus and tzatziki is is better than the best. We also recommend the Shawarma, Greek salads and sides. Pretty much everything on the menu!

Everything about this place was amazing! My love and I eat vegetarian and they have great vegetarian options. We felt like we were back in Jordan.

My sister and I made a stop at Grape Leaves on the way to Monument from the airport after reading so many reviews. Thank you, reviewers! This Mediterranean food is legit, and the service is the best! We started with a creamy, delicious, gratis hummus with pita and asked for their homemade hot sauce. Yummmm. I had the chicken shawarma plate with rice from the owner's recommendation. My sister had a gyro with fries. Both came with a small salad with vinaigrette dressing, and all of the food was delicious! I thought I would save some for the next day's lunch, but that did not happen! The chicken and the gyro meat were tender and seasoned perfectly. Who raves about rice and French fries? Evidently I do because both were incredible. The rice was light, fluffy, beautiful and tasty! We didn't have room for dessert, but next time we will plan better. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Grape Leaves! I highly recommend this restaurant. ~Nora

By far, the best Mediterranean/Halal food I've ever had. We got the beef schwarma sandwich, chicken schwarma plate, tabbouleh salad, and garlic sauce. Their rice was so good! Everything was very flavorful and seasoned just right. The meat was not dry at. Food came out quick and the owner was so friendly. Very clean interior. Definitely saved this on my favorites list!

FINALLY-an authentic Greek restaurant that doesn't overcharge and underdeliver. Perfect amount of food for all!! Gyro meat-outstanding, tzatziki sauce-bar none, mini salads-divine! Engin was a wonderful host! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

We were visiting Denver and on the fence about dining here. (We just got turned away by Great Greek, go read that review if you have time!) When viewing the restaurant from the outside, you may think it's a little sketch, but most restaurants like that have amazing food! Lol When we walked in, there were two parties in the dining room. The chef/owner came to greet us. He was really friendly. They brought out salads with a yummy dressing made with oils and vegetables (carrots) it seemed very healthy. They also brought out little bowls of sides, including a few that looked like a slaw, beets, and tzatziki. We ordered the hummus, it was so pretty and creamy! I got the chicken shawarma plate with rice. Portions were very generous! My husband got the chicken shawarma quesadilla and when I tell you that's probably the BEST quesadilla I've ever had in LIFE!!! In all my life! LOL it was so cheesy and flavorful, I almost wish I had ordered that instead!

Their near perfect reviews left by many truly speak for the kind of restaurant it is. It's only 10 minutes away from my northeast DTC house. How come I didn't discover this place until a few days ago? This is not necessarily a fancy restaurant in any way but it sure is a clean restaurant. When I arrived at the peak dinner time, one of the workers was cleaning the little mess left behind by a diner. And she was very thorough in cleaning. I picked up one of the menus at a table and that was when this super friendly gentleman in the kitchen asked me, "Is this here or to go, my friend?" Ahh, thank for calling me a friend! Like I always do, instead of getting me a huge entree plate, I got me a few sides as a nice accompaniment to what I already have at home. Grape leaves and tzatziki sauce definitely sounded good to me on top of falafels. The same guy in the kitchen continued to be friendly to me while I was placing my order. He carried on a nice casual small talk conversation with me without any pause. He truly made an effort to get to know me. Once home, I immediately started my dinner. I was truly impressed with the grape leaves. They are marinated with jalapeño so they've got a good kick in it. This is very unique for grape leaves as I've never had spicy ones before. Falafels are nice and brown with perfect crunchiness. The tzatziki sauce was great for dipping some raw veggies I had in my fridge. Later that night, my daughter came by with empty stomach. To the question she asked me, "Do you have any food?" I replied with an evil looking grin on my face, "Yes, I've got just that!" and gave her some of the leftovers from my earlier dinner. She was beyond impressed with everything especially the grape leaves! "Where did you get all this great food?" she asked to which I replied, "Grape Leaves Mediterranean Restaurant on Mississippi and Peoria!" "Mom, we need to go back soon to get us more of those!" she uttered! This restaurant instantly gained a few die hard fans that night!!

Still on the hunt for the best baba ghanoush in the metro Denver area, my wonderful MIL and I took the long drive out to Grape Leaves restaurant on Friday. Excellent decision because Grape Leaves rocks. Some of the best baba ghanoush and falafel in Aurora. And the place rivals Yahya's and the Damacus Grill for some of the best Middle Eastern food in the entire Denver metro area. Liked the staff and loved the food. When you're looking for some delicious vegetarian selections don't forget to try out Grape Leaves. (On the next visit I will report back to you on their lamb, beef and chicken kababs:).
