Cleopatra

Excellent food and service! Love the environment here as well. It feels like you get to leave the world at the door and enjoy a nice meal.

Mediterranean, Lebanese, Gyros, …
I’m thinking people just aren’t sure what «Cleopatra» is. If you like Gyros, Mediterranean, or Lebanese food — please give them a try! You can dine in or order for take out.
The décor is interesting and welcoming — they even have some Egyptian gifts for sale.
The staff is so friendly and inviting. The food is good, fresh, and the portions are generous!
I encourage you to have your next group meeting or event here!

Fantastic service, and great food! We ordered the grape leaves and hummus for appetizers and got the chicken shawarma. I highly recommend this place, definitely some of the best middle eastern food in the area!

Came into eat on a weekday at 2pm. Pretty clean but the table cloths had stains/​grease on them, so I didn’t touch the table. TV had satellite music videos of Greek music I believe, but it was terrible because it skipped for the duration of our visit. The iced tea was more like lemon water. The falafel was great, crispy outside and moist inside. The gyro was small but cheap, suggest you ask for double meat and side of feta. The french fries were frozen from a bag. Pretty cheap to eat there but the quality of the food and the atmosphere will keep me away from this place indefinitely.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile, but was a little disappointed. I ordered the gyro, fries and a drink. I thought it was over priced for what it was… almost $ 10 total… The fries were nothing special and a bit soggy and the sprite was way too diluted. The gyro wasn’t too bad, was a little dry.

Horrible food. And, expensive. It cost me $ 15 for a gyro, fries, hummus and a drink. I asked for Feta on my gyro and it wasn’t there. The fries were raw. I took a photo but don’t see a place to post it. It was so hot in there I had to wait outside for to-​go order.

My wife and I really like this place. I often go with the Gyro as my favorite. We are big fans of the rice and my wife loves the light dressing on the Mediterranean salad. We also like the people who work here that are always friendly. Sometimes we eat it in and others get it to go. Check it out.

Love this place! Gyros, rice, hummus all delicious! My favorite are the falafel! Soooo good and I always ask for extra tzatziki sauce! Servers are attentive and friendly. Anytime I’m craving Mediterranean, I go here!

Great place ! The portions are big but the food tastes great and the staff is very nice.
Please try this place, we do t want it to go away.

We had the cheese pie for an appetizer and I had the chicken kabob’s with garlic sauce. The dish came with rice and a salad. It was all very good. The chicken was fresh and grilled to perfection. For dessert we had kunafa, which was very good as well. Service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place and will be back soon.

Gyro was decent. Now folks, I’m not one to throw away my food but although I love chicken shawarma, this version was sweet & I wasn’t prepared for that. I know others have raved about it but I ended throwing mine away. While the hummus was just «ok», the garlic sauce tasted like it was straight up mayonnaise. Yuck. Threw that away too. Still looking for a place to fill my Mediterranean cravings!

The service is always fast and friendly and food is always hot. I’ve only ever ordered rhe gyro pr falafel as the price is good.

Amazing!
The gyro here is well seasoned & the tatziki sauce that comes with it is perfectly seasoned and creamy.
The falafel are large & fresh. If you dip them in the tatziki sauce, they’re perfect.
The hummus is delicious & the pita was warm and fresh.
Definitely recommend.

Really nice guys and service was good. Their falafel, hummus, and mushroom appetizer were all excellent. Gyro was tasty, but I’ve had better (their gyro meat was a bit dry, no onion, and their tzatziki was a little bland). Chicken kabob was very good, but their rice was also a little bland. Overall we will eat there again, but will check out other items on the menu.
Oh, one more thing. Inside you can smell nail polish remover from the nail salon next door. Totally not their fault, and my wife and I thought we would be pissed if we ran a restaurant and had to put up that that! You stop noticing it after 5 or 10 minutes, but it is not exactly appetizing. I think we’ll get our food to go next time (which is A-​OK with us anyway).

I really honestly thought I had reviewed this place. SO here we go…
We had driven by this place probalby 30 or so times and we were hungry one night and figured we’d give it a shot. It’s a cute little place decorated tastefully with nice tables and booth seating which I like over tables. We were seated and we looked over their menu. Now we’ve been there a second time but the first time we went with this sampler platter and these amazing mushroom appetizers which was so good I could have eaten just that. We got a big platter next and it had rice and lamb, beef, shrimp, and chicken. It was so good but so much food we were so full I was pretty sure I could have just went to sleep on the bench.
Second time we went we got gyros which were equally amazing. We enjoy here. They do carry out and I just so happen to be hungry…

So, if I was comparing it to ALL the Middle Eastern places in the city, it would be a 3 star review. If it was just for the Middle Eastern places in North Denver, I would give it 4, since there are all of like 3.
The first time I came here was for lunch. I got the spanikopita/​spinach pie. Le sigh. It was like super doughy, NOT flaky things o’ creamed spinach. However, it was redeemed at that meal by the pita wrap I got with baba ganoush that had a hint of pomegranate sauce on it. Yum!
When I came back for dinner with Leo, that delicious pita sandwich was no longer on the menu. He went with the Chicken Swarma sandwich (with fries) and I opted to try the veggie combo. His was agood deal for the price; mine was not. At the Jeruselm Restaurant or Ya Hala Grill, I would get easily twice as much food as I did for that price. That being said, everything was ok. Not bad, not delicious, but ok. However, the baba ganoush, yet again, was the highlight of everything.
Now that I’ll be back in the DU neighborhood more often, Cleopatra probably won’t see much of me. However, if you are craving some dolmades or falafel, it isn’t a bad place to stop.

I work in the area and my sister and I always made fun of this place as we drove by on our way to other places. It has this really cheese window painting and to be honest, it looks pretty, well, not like a place I would normally frequent. Also, we were probably on our way to chik-​fil-​a so whatever food cred we had was totally busted.
We decided on a whim to stop by and I’m super glad we did because it was freaking delicious. We ordered a pita and hummus to start, and the portions were very generous. I hate it when you order hummus out and they give you this giant bowl of hummus and half a pita. This place gave you the appropriate amount of pita to go along with the hummus. The hummus itself was very tasty.
We both ordered gyro’s, at a little over 5 bucks a pop. Again, the portions were pretty sizable. And the sandwiches were fantastic. The lettuce and tomatoes seemed really fresh, the meat was very flavorful, and the tzatziki sauce was pretty good too.
The menu was pretty standard for this type of place, and the prices seemed to be pretty standard as well. The sandwiches and stuff being around $ 5, and the more dinner-​y options being around $ 12.
The service was another thing that stood out. Our server was very attentive and even gave us some coupons to come back with.
In the end, I’m sorry I made fun of you Cleopatra!

I wanted Mediterranean food a few weeks back but didn’t want to drive all the way to Kabob Station on 120^th to get it. We decided to try Cleopatra. We were 2 of 4 people dining at Cleopatra that day, so the service was timely. I had the shawarma and my husband had a combination plate. We both agreed that it was OK. Definitely no Kabob Station though.
Kabob Station, I promise I will never cheat on you again.

Very pleased I found Cleopatra. It’s tucked away in a suburban strip mall. I hope that they do a better weekday business, because I was there at 7:30 on a Saturday and was the only table in the place.
They offer really great Mediterranean food. I would rank the babaganoush among the best I’ve ever had. Cleopatra’s decided to forgo the heavy smokey flavor that I associate with baba ganoush, instead opting for a lighter and sweeter flavor. So good!
The hummus and gyro meat were also excellent.
I believe the owners were who served me and they were very nice and accommodating. My only criticism was the music that was a bit loud and slightly obnoxious for my taste.

For dinner I ordered a Gyro $ 4.95w/ baba ghanoush appetizer $ 4.95. The baba ghanoush was tasty with a sweet condiment on top. Served with soft fresh pita. My cohort ordered chicken salad $ 8.95, which was plentiful. The dressing was a unique, strong balsamic that was awesome.
The gyro meat was part beef and lamb with a spicy taste and traditional consistency. The sauce on it was tasty also. Served in foil wrap.
Good service. The strip mall space is sparsely but tastefully decorated. Nice place to take a date, but it’s only as romantic as you make it. There is culturally apropos music, boom box quality and a tad too loud for me, but at least appropriate.
I fear the day they are visited by ASCAP/​BMI/​RIAA and are forced to choose between a $ 5,000/mo. Music license fee (even if the music isn’t licensed by them) or the alternative: a horrific clear channel or cumulus radio station.
