    Look on you to Denver okay I come in here to see if they have coffee and they had a whole brunch ready for me in a matter of moments. This beautiful eggy burger and the falafels are on another level. Do not those cheap low energy while effort falafels. These were really substantial nicely seasoned good flavors man just good goodness good flavors. The girl is going to give me the Wi-Fi that's why I came in I needed to take care of something. How is your weather trying to make this a social media Post but what I really need to do is upload some pictures of the Denver models #DenverModels meet up recently. @CadenzaChief This falafel side appetizer dish is very good I love it The fries and burger really good. I like the fries that has a really home cooking vibe to it. The portion size is big. If you came here on a date you could share the falafel and burger basket and they would be a good meal. The girl working here is so nice really friendly just y'all make sure you tip her okay.

    What an absolutely LOVELY experience! I drove up from Colorado Springs because my wife wanted me to get some Greek ingredients and when I researched online, this place stated it had a little market and it definitely did. I was able to pick up some wonderful ingredients as well as get some lunch! I got Souvlaki and fries and it was amazing. It was piping hot when I received it & the staff was so nice!! It's an intimate location and so worth the drive. I definitely will be coming back here again! If I could give it 10 stars I would!

    Amazing, little moms and pops restaurant. The place is simple and old school, with interesting selection of Mediterranean food. The breakfast concepts are different from traditional but worth trying. I went with the Gyro breakfast skillet and I was not disappointed. It was absolutely fantastic! With eggs, potatoes, peppers, onions, gyro meat and feta, this plate was an absolute hit! The portion is very large and comes with a side of pita and greek yogurt sauce. Can absolutely satisfy a big appetite! Overall, amazing hole in the wall for Mediterranean food! Absolutely worth trying!

    Delicious little Greek place we found while visiting Denver. So glad we went there. I had the gyro (with no onions of course). It was so good. The wife had the Soulvaki salad platter and she loved it. Not excellent parking available, but there is some. I'd go back for sure, great food.

    The gyro plate was quite good. The meat was delicious, the pita was soft, and the baklava was tasty. I'm giving this place four stars because it was hard to eat the salad, the plate was overflowing. Would have been better in a bowl. The salad was mostly lettuce as well, could have used more olives and peppers. It was also unclear if I was supposed to get up and grab my food or if the staff would bring it to me. So when I saw my food sitting on the counter for a few minutes I grabbed it. Learned later staff should bring it. Prices are decent here.

    Absolutely delicious. The type of meal to make your belly happy and provide that fresh, clean food energy. Chicken Souvlaki came out hot and perfectly cooked. The platter had tasty seasoned chicken with a crispy, fresh salad with crunchy, oniony goodness, beautiful Greek oil dressing to compliment. The pita was soft, chewy, and warm. The flavor and light oily textures of all the ingredients was 10/10! Hard to come by decent, cultured cuisine in Denver, but Melita’s is a new go-to for me!

    Overall a fine breakfast & lunch place. I ordered falafel lunch plate with a side of French fries. Falafel had something missing in flavor not sure what. Also ordered Greek coffee, it was okay. So overall a okay experience and that’s why 3 star.

    This little restaurant is fantastic! I popped in for lunch and ordered a gyro meat peta wrap with tomatoes, onions, & feta, and it was one of the best I've ever had. Every individual ingredient was so flavorful and fresh, including the tzatziki sauce. I also enjoyed a Greek salad with it which was just as delicious. Service was fast: my food was ready in about 5 minutes. The portions of food were plentiful enough for me to get two meals from my order. That said, the price was very affordable - I paid $13.77 (including tax) for everything. Their menu has a wide variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner and includes many Greek and non-Greek dishes. Highly recommended! I will definitely eat here again!

    What a find! We are in town for a confrence and and this sweet place was perfect! Hot delicious coffee, everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! They offer take our and delivery. The menu has lots of variety and they have a cold case and small market. Clean friendly quick service!

    Stopped into waste time before a business meeting and I'm glad I did, the food is just excellent, it really is. The wait staff the girls at the counter they were all super friendly, I had to say anything negative towards the place and I guess it would be that the prices were a little expensive, but that's to be expected downtown and it was a damn good burrito.

    Nice service. Burger was burnt. Gyro salad was decent but the dressing wasn't the best and the lettuce wasn't very fresh. Quesadilla was decent but the guacamole was not good. Atmosphere was very dumpy. Surprised it got such good ratings from others. Perhaps it's gone downhill.

    The food was great. Typical old dinner style. Could use a little spruce up, but it didn't get in the way of enjoying the scrumptious Gyro.

  • 5/5 Mynt A. 4 months ago on Google
    We picked this place based off of the reviews I read. We were not disappointed!!! My best friend had one of the breakfast skillets with a little of everything in it! She loved it! I had falafels with hummus side dip (which I didn't get a picture of and there were for falafels not just two). The poop of flavor from these little batter balls was amazing!!! A taste sensation! My gyro was wonderful! They took the time to crisp the meat which makes all the difference in the world!!! If you're in Denver and can't decide between breakfast or Greek stop by Melita's for a treat to your taste buds!

    This place is a classic Greek diner and I love it! The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, the tzatziki is good and the atmosphere is laid back. Highly recommended!

    The lamb was excellent. The salad was ok. The pita bread was undercooked dough, the tzatziki was bland, and one of the sauces the salad came with appeared to be straight up vinegar. The place is not well-marked - I walked past it even though I knew its positioning from Google maps. Upon entering I was greeted with the atmosphere of a country gas station. I went around lunch, and there were obnoxiously strong Pine-Sol vapors. I ordered at a counter and paid up-front, yet was waited on. I am not a fan of this style of service because I tip when I pay, and by principle I do not tip until I have been served because it must be based on the service. Sorry, please decide between service and no service. Half way in between just makes customers feel awkward and pressured. Despite this logistical annoyance, the service itself was great.
