Golden Pita

Gyro quick, delicious at good price. Can’t say more

I only went here since it’s just a block away from my office. I had a Tabole salad & a Gyro sandwich. The salad was about a $ 5 and it is so small that you can literally finish it with two small bites and totally not worth it and it didn’t taste good. The sandwich was just ok, too much garlic, and again very small. So I recommend try better things around the block.
The owner who is also the waiter, super unfriendly, and he didn’t care about the comment I made for the salad portion size.

Bad food, small portions.
Lentil soup was too watery and tasteless. Falafel platter contained five falafel patties and an at most ok salad. It also contained very little tahini which was too watery and too sour.

Good food and a very friendly staff. I took some friends that were visiting from out of town and was not disappointed.

Lamb and beef sandwich, strawberry and lemon juice, grape leaves were all very delicious. Nothing to complain about. Service and staff were great.

I really was not impressed with the food or the service at this establishment. I’m not sure if they were just busy or what but either way I will never be back.

I will never go back there. Slow service and the food is so generic made with the cheapest store bought ingredients.

After recently having moved to Denver from San Diego, Golden Pita is the first truly awful restaurant that I’ve eaten at up here.
A couple hours ago, my buddy and I tried it for lunch. He ordered a chicken shawarma, and I ordered a beef shawarma. The chicken on his sandwich was literally unrecognizable as chicken. No clue what that protein was. He actually asked them «what is this?» our waiter said «it’s chicken, I think… no… yea… it’s definitely chicken. It’s delicious». It looked like pork (maybe?), definitely a mix of fat or cartridge, mostly raw.
My beef shawarma was tiny and bland. You could tell everything was microwaved, definitely the pita, as it was really rubbery. The tzatziki sauce was as runny as a tiny glass of water. It was essentially water + ranch dressing + a touch of dill. That said, my sandwich was edible, unlike my buddies, although I regret eating it, as food poisoning is rapidly approaching.
My buddy took one bite and pushed his unedible chicken shawarma aside. When we got the bill our waiter asked if he didn’t like it, my buddy explained most of what I described above. Waiter said «ah, sorry». No offer to not charge for the sandwich.

I was in town for a convention. I travel for work about 300 days a year. I have eaten Mediterranian food from Montréal Canada to Dallas Texas, from Raliegh NC to San Diego CA. This was by far the worst I have had. I ordered lamb shawarma entrée. The meat tasted microwaved and I know for a fact it was not freshly shaven off of a rotisserie. The rice was plain bland white rice no slivered pine nuts or almonds. The cucumber sauce was watered down and foamy, it looked like they added water and used an emulsion blender. The salad was iceberg lettuce chopped tomatoes and a tangy dressing. There was only two people working and a sign on the door that said help wanted. The only good thing was the pita bread and the hummus was on point. I read a review for here that said «best in Denver» Sorry Denverens…

Maybe people didn’t show up for work, but it was only one man and one woman running the whole place… and the service suffered. Nice guy but old dishes were literally on every table. I moved dishes to sit down at my table. He is trying his best, but it’s really a mood killer when you walk in and just know that your table is not clean. Are the dishes, forks, cups, who knows? He was so rushed that all the orders I saw coming out were wrong to some level.
Food was pretty good though, and that’s what saved this review from being 1 or 2 stars. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and try it again since it’s close to work.

Really great food — excellent service!

Delicious food from a fun Mom & Pop establishment. Found the food to be full of amazing flavors and the staff (owner) was extremely nice. Highly recommend it and wish them lots of success.
The décor could use some updating but for a start up it is all about the food. Will keep supporting them.

This place is a great addition to the downtown Denver seen I always get great service, And the people that work here are warm and friendly and I highly suggest beef and lamb Shawarma

Savory, delicious, sumptuous, homemade, cozy atmosphere, reasonable prices. THE BEST homemade pitas ever — fresh, tender and poufy. They make chain Mediterranean pitas taste like cardboard. Subtly spiced meats, lovely lamb pie appetizer, baklava to die for. Somebody in that kitchen puts a lot of love and caring (and impeccable ingredients) into this food.
It’s hard to believe this place could get much better. No problems with poor service or wrong orders that I’ve ever had — it wasn’t super fast but I did not expect the speed of a chain assembly line in a sit-​down restaurant. I also didn’t expect their food would be even more reasonably priced than a chain! This place is a find. I just hope it survives downtown and maintains its mom-​and-​pop charm.

I absolutely love this place. The falafel is extremely flavorful and the price is right. Their falafel sandwich is an excellent size and supplementing it with a piece of baklava really completes the meal. I’m telling you, try the baklava. The serving size is quite small, just a few bites, but the flavor is unparalleled.
I come once a week and it never fails to lift my spirits. I haven’t had any encounters with poor service or slow/​mistaken orders, in fact, my orders have always come out exceptionally fast. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I love this as a quick lunch option.

Their hummus is delicious and their pitas are good also. I recommend the beef kabob and the beef and lamb shawarma. It’s a great place to visit for lunch and reasonably priced.

So, let me start by saying when this place gets it right it is amazing. The problem is they tend to get it wrong more often than right.
Here is my last visit to this place:
Wrong meal, yes wrong dish. Substituted a meal without informing us. I called them out on it and then they admitted to it. He charged us the same price as the entrée we ordered. Well the meal served was great, it wasn’t what was asked for and I felt like it should have been discounted since it was swapped without explanation.
So the chicken has been under cooked on three occasions. Yes, you would think I would have stopped ordering it, instead I just started making sure it was cooked. The chicken kabob is amazing and I really wanted to like this place.
The reason food was under cooked this time was because they were rushing (so we were told). However, we were the only people in the restaurant. I do value they tried to get us our food quickly, but under cooked chicken can make for a bad time.
I have given this place more chances than I should have, and I have to concede to the fact it is not consistent. I hope this place pulls it together, because the food can be amazing.

Not at all friendly, rude waiters. Most of what we order was not available.
Food was okayish

This was one of the worst Araby meals I have ever had.
The service was fine, but the food was flavorless outside of the hummus and felafel.
If you know what quality Araby food should smell and taste like, you will be shocked that this place has received anything over a 2 star rating.
Tried the following dishes:
Hummus: ³⁄₅ — creamy, basically a ton of garlic smashed into garbanzo beans
Pita Bread: ²⁄₅ — soft, airy, and right out of the oven, a bit grainy though
Lentil soup: ⁰⁄₅ — flavorless bowl of mushed lentils
Felafel: 3.5÷5 — large, fresh outta the frier with some flavor, the highlight of this train-​wreck of a meal
Chicken shwarma plate: ⁰⁄₅ — flavorless pieces of what may or may not have been chicken served over basmanti rice alongside a salad; this was not what should be passed off as chicken shwarma
No thank you.

My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab a quick bite and were very impressed by the food and the service. The food blew me away — everything was delicious! We ordered the meat combo plate that came with rice, pita and hummus and the hummus is to die for. I got the beef schwarma sandwich and it was equally is good.
Location is very convenient for anyone downtown and the service was great — he was very attentive. Will definitely be coming back!
