Do not miss this one if you like middle eastern food. Â Casual, simple, and tasty. Â Pita is made in an open oven, omg yum. Â The hummus, also perfect. Â Food bliss. Â
It was also nice to see a non-sysco foods truck outside. Â A little more locally sourced? Â I think so.
Wine list is pretty good. Â Staff, though a tiny bit slow, were sweet by any hipster's standards. Â Parking is on the street or around the corner, but usually it's not an issue.
This is my favorite, affordable dinner in Denver - by far!! Â I order the hummus plate with gyro meat almost every time and it's the bomb. Â It's the creamiest hummus on the planet and is topped with fresh herbs and olive oil. Â It's served with house-made pita bread that's made to order in the coal-fired oven. Â The meal is really basic - just a plate of hummus topped with a bunch of perfectly cooked and flavorful gyro meat. Â The salad with gyro meat is also tasty if you want something a little healthier. Â We usually order food to-go but also enjoy dining-in the casual joint every now and then. Â The owner stopped by our table once and explained how he made his hummus so amazing (by soaking dried garbanzo beans overnight) - you can tell he has a real passion for his food and cares for his patrons.
Review Source:I want to love this place, but after giving it two tries I can only give them 3 stars. Â I'd go 3.5 if it was possible, but alas its not.
Everything about their mennu and dishes is fantastic, with the important exception that I have found their kabob meat impossibly dry on both occassions. Â I may give them another try and avoid the kabobs altogether, but one shouldn't have to do that at Phoenician "Kabob".
I love this restaurant. Â After living within 2 miles of it for four years, I finally tried it and am so glad I did. Â I've tried lunch and dinner and love the hummus. Â The food is consistently good and fresh, with my favorite (so far) being the vegetarian platter. Â This type of food has been a staple in my diet for 25 years and Phoenician Kabob is some of the best I've eaten. Â My new favorite take out place too.
Review Source:I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I love, love, love their grilled mushroom kabobs. I love the garlic puree dipping stuff. I love the pita bread. Good atmosphere. Sometimes the service is a little lazy and diner-like, but it's not the worst.
Go across the street to the antique store too! It's my faaaavvvorite.
Ibrahim and his wife catered an event I attended. Â I have made 17 trips to the Middle East (Israel-Palestine) and know the food well. Â This is the real thing and it was such a delight to enjoy it. Â I regret I never got to visit the restaurant itself because I can only imagine the superlative experience of getting their food right from the kitchen!
Review Source:This place is pretty bling, so don't get any wise ideas about eating here if your alimony/storage unit/methadone treatment checks are due. That's pretty much the only bad thing about it, though. The food is damn tasty and the owner looks like an Algerian slaver. He only hires comely young women, who I like to imagine fan him with palm fronds and ostrich feathers as he grouses about those damn Berbers always plundering his spice and slave caravans. Also, they serve Middle-Eastern beer, which if you're anything like me sounds like "Hindu beef", but hey, you're adventurous.
Review Source:Started with a not good dirty martini. Did not have the vodka I like and it was a strange green color with tiny olives. Â Should have gone with the wine.
The babaghanouj and pita were pretty good. Â My Greek salad and chicken was mediocre. Â Lots of chicken but it was dry. Â My friend had the special and he did not eat much but seemed to like his choice. Â My other friends were not excited with their choices. Â I doubt if I will return. I love this food and will return to some of my favorites.
I love this place -- I've been here twice and had wonderful experiences both times.  The best part is the pita bread, which they make fresh.  The pita yesterday came fresh from the oven and is nice and thick.  The chicken from the kabob and shawarma  is very moist and flavorful.  Best Mediterranean food in Denver!
Review Source:Deliciously Delicious...
Humas is great, kabobs hello heaven! They have this rich garlic butter that's worth each and every calorie.
My hubby and I stopped in and were very pleased. Brick over baked flat bread was made fresh to order. The sauces were great. I can't wait to go back and try some mire of the menu. And while the bar is a bit lacking there are wines to be had to compliment your meal. That's the point of Greek food anyways right? Lovely, kind, warm, tasty experience.
Did I mention they deliver? Where do they find the time?
I had the opportunity to eat dinner here while I was in Denver on a business trip. The food and the service were fantastic. I got the Sultan plate with ton of modifications and they were happy to accommodate me. The plate has some of the best dishes all on one plate.
If you are in the area. This place is a must! Â But they don't take American Express.
I will have you know that the food here is RIDICULOUSLY good. Â Even the 1/2 Greek husband wasn't picky about it! Â Now there's something to be proud of.
Our waiter was nice and even though the place was kind of empty (we went at an odd time) he didn't hover. Â I like that in a waiter--or in any type of person, really. Â As long as my drink stays filled, I'm happy. Â He was also patient when it took us forever to decide on what we wanted. Â Well, it took the husband forever--I had been craving chicken shawarma for weeks!
It seems pricey until you see the portions, especially if you're not familiar with this type of food. Â Holy crap...that's a lot of food! Â The garlic "dip" is SUPER garlicky, so use it sparingly (unless you just REALLY love garlic). Â I slathered it on quite a bit. Â I'm a garlic-inspired masochist, what can I say?
We both boxed up over half of our meals (we shouldn't have gotten an appetizer first) and ate them over the next two days here and there. Â All in all, great value, great food, great service--I love it.
I've been here several times and I can tell you I'm impressed and think the food is beyond flavorful and delectable.
To give you an idea, my Mom visited not to long ago and I took her here for a lunch/dinner kind of thing and she loved it so much we stopped in before her flight so she could buy some food to bring back to Philadelphia, yep that's right kebabs to go on a plane.
I've had several things here and my ultimate favorite is the kafta (lamb and beef mixture) on a kabob, it's juicy and packed with tons of seasoning. Â I usually get the meat platter with two or three kabobs that way I can get a variety. Â The hummus is super fresh and served as a side on most meals. Â
The last time we were here the owner was there and very chatty, don't pass this up, he's a great guy and enjoys being a restaurant owner. Â He showed us around and even told us that he had his brick oven imported from Lebanon and installed it himself. Â Truly an amazing feet when you see the monstrous size of this thing. Â His brink oven gets to over 1500 degrees and can cook ram pita dough in 30 seconds. Â That's how fresh your pita is going to be, all made from scratch and to your table, almost still cooking. Â
They also have some wonderful specials on the board daily which includes some food options as well as wine specials. Â They have a full bar, so feel free to get your drink on. Â
Just reviewing this place gives me a hankering for another kebab trip. Â Let's all go and give them something to talk about!!
Went here due to the high yelp reviews and was not let down--thanks, guys! I got the vegetarian combo and my partner in dining got one of the specials--mousaka. Deliciousness was had all around. The baba ganoush was the 7th ring of heaven. The garlic dip is spicy. The waitstaff was really attentive and nice (my dinner-mate was having trouble reading the specials when we first sat down and a man I took to be the owner came over immediately to describe them to us.) I will definitely be going back and may even have to add a star. So good I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Review Source:I am not in the habit of giving 5 stars but this place would be 4.5 if I could do it. I am not sure if the one and 2 star reviews caught them on an off night or if they are just carbby people. This was my second time here and was awesome, the entire family loved the food which I found to be very authentic, defifnitly comparable to the better Middle Eastern restaurants in Europe. The service was friendly and polite and who doesn't like a belly dancer at dinner. My pregnant wife unfortunately tried the famous coconut macaroons which I will now have to go and get at least once a week since they were described as "the best ever!!!". Great food, good prices and good service. Don't forget the dollar Bills! (for the belly dancer)
Review Source:I thought I had written a review for this place, but I guess not. Thanks, Yelp home screen, for hounding me daily to write my review for this place!
Mediterranean food is one of those ethnic foods I either want so badly I'd promise my firstborn just for some shish kabob or I could walk right by and not even bat an eye. Luckily, when I'm in the mood, I know I can just hop on the 15 and zoom on down Colfax to this place (it's sooooo hard to spell, so I'll let the listing tell you what it's called).
I've eaten here a couple of times and here's what they do astonishingly well: gyros. Mmmmmmmmm.
Here's the twist: Whoever the chef is loves garlic more than they love breathing, because there is so much in almost all of the dips and dishes that it can actually make some of the food spicy!
Unfortunately for this place, my stomach and garlic haven't really gotten on so well for the last, oh, 8 years or so, so every other dish I've had here that involved a dip has resulted in side splitting indigestion and a night of groans.
This place would easily be four stars if they just took it back several notches on the garlic.
Well, two stars says it all. I have experienced much better Middle Eastern food. They did hit it in some places, but fell way short in others.
The Good:
The pitas are great! I really enjoyed them. Also, the hummus was okay as well. I have had better, but it was not bad. I had a gyro sandwich, and I must say that I enjoyed their gyro meat, but the sandiwch was poorly put together.
The Bad:
Their falafel is EXTREMELY disappointing. Very small, very dense, and over cooked. I was saddened by the poor quality of the dish, especially for the price payed. I tend to judge every middle eastern restaurant on two things: their hummus and their falafel. This falafel was bad enough to almost make me never want to return. Sorry to be so brash, but I was very disappointed.
Phoenician Kabob is the jam. Or maybe it's the Baba Ghanouj(am)? All I know is that for around $5 I left this restaurant completely stuffed of delicious falafel sandwich.
Here's two tidbits of information that I offer up as help - the garlic dip is so garlicky it's almost spicy. I an a fan of that strong flavor, but one of my partners in lunching suffered adverse affects from it which lead to her drinking copious amounts of beverages to cool her mouth and tummy down. Also you can get red pepper chili sauce if you'd like to really spice things up. I did and it's hot.
Over all the service was super nice, the prices are really reasonable, and the food is great. And if that wasn't enough they have Orange Fanta on their soda machine. Shizzam!
FINALLY got back here in mid-May 2011, and was so glad to see my Denver "food home away from home" (full disclosure: Â together with Sushi Den! Â ; )) Â is still going strong.
I visited with all my old favorites - fettoush salad, lamb gyros, hummus - and tried one or two new items (I think they like to surprise patrons with experimental new menu items now & again!). Â About the fantastic hummus here...a prior reviewer is right that it can be a bit delicately-seasoned for some more robust palates, but no worries...just call the owner or manager over, and they will happily provide you with little sides of extra garlic, lemon, or whatever other splash of spice would turn their good hummus into YOUR IDEAL hummus.
I like the way this restaurant has matured into a local spot that is really going the distance!! Â When I first visited PK, it seemed bigger than the available audience, but in speaking to the owner and staff on my recent visit, I was really happy to hear that this Middle Eastern oasis has only grown better - and judging from fellow Yelpers on here, there seems to be general agreement on that.
However, and although shame on me for being a Gossip Girl,  I simply couldn't resist a good-natured poke at some of the staff (whom I remember from past visits) about a fellow New Yorker from Yonkers who had been here and gotten her nose soooooo out of joint that she felt obligated to write her first  and only Yelp review,  just to eviscerate their service and ding their food for being "Mexican".  LoL!!!  On the other hand, I can't wait to read this Yonkers lady's next Yelp reviews, because she has such a funny, sarcastic style (OMG - I'd love to hear what she would have to say about some of the restaurants here in NY City and our  "precious" little servers).
Fortunately, PK's staff took my teasing in the proper spirit. Â I shouldn't have pried them for the scoop about that lady, but being the Yenta that I am, I went ahead and dug for the dirt about what they could possibly have done to that poor woman... and her Mom... to warrant such a review. Â Â To their credit, the staff were discreet about the details while indicating that they remembered her party q-u-i-t-e clearly... so I at least got the overall impression that there are DEFINITELY two sides to every story!
PK, please keep doing what you do so very well.  I'll be back the last weekend in July, so have my super-spicy hummus and my succulent "Mexican fajitas" (formerly known as lamb gyros) ready for me!!!  Um...can you maybe concoct a Lebanese margarita  to go with that...?
I stopped by my favorite restaurant today for hummus and a refreshing beverage, and the owner took the time to thank me for pointing out a couple of minor issues I had with my recent experience there and was very sincere when he told me he takes the feedback from these reviews seriously and is taking steps to make his restaurant the best it can be.
I had an issue with a server who made a mistake and was having a bad day. Â I did not name her but he knew who she was. Â He did not fire her or even punish her, as a lesser man might have done. Â Instead he had a long, and I'm sure fatherly, discussion with her about his expectations and how she could do better. Â He said that his number one concern is excellent service, and he is talking to all of his servers about this. Â Ibrahim is a genuinely nice person, and he treats his employees and regular customers like family. Â I wish I could be more like him.
As for my other minor issue, Phoenician Kabob used to have the best pastries in Denver. Â Spectacular baklava. Â Best I have ever had. Â Then their pastry chef left and the baklava became better than average. Â Good baklava is better than no baklava, but I'm not going to drive all the way across town for good. Â When the baklava was extraordinary I would end up at Phoenician Kabob an average of 3 times a week and I probably gained over 10 pounds with no regrets. Â Ibrahim said he would be focusing on improving his selection of desserts, and already a few improvements are in the case.
Folks, this is the best restaurant on East Colfax, and one of the better restaurants in the greater Denver area. Â Great management, great chefs, and top quality ingredients means you will have a good meal here. Â Ibrahim was telling me about the sharp increases in price on lamb and eggplant and how he would rather cut into profits than skimp on quality or raise his prices. Â I'm not a big fan of gyros, but he told me about the different kinds available and how he insisted on the best because the difference in taste was so clear. Â That is how a restaurant should be run. Â Principles above profits, but more importantly good people and good food.
Um, yum! Â If you have not been here since they got their new oven - you are missing out! Â Wow, they have some really yummy new flatbread appetizers and the pita is to die for.
I have always really enjoyed the beef sirloin kabobs. Â The veg plate is also heaven. Â The desserts are also scrumptious. Â You will not regret visiting this place - man I wish I was there now!
If Monica can write 18 updates for Oceanaire, I can write update number 4 Â for Phoenician Kabob - LOL. Â After all, it 's been a year and a half since I was there last.
I have to say I found it unchanged (that's a good thing) other than the fact that they now have a pita oven and you get fresh pita right out of the oven. Â If you've never had it, hold on, because it will rock your world.
I probably would have selected another venue tonight because I'm away for half the year and need to catch up on the new places but it was a friend's birthday and he loves this place. Â So, off we went.
Did pretty much our usual thing here. Â Kabobs (lamb and kifta), hummus, tabbouleh, rice, salad. Â Big combo plates for $14.95 - I couldn't finish half of mine much to my dining partner's glee (so he could take leftovers home).
I docked a star off for seriously overpriced soup - pretty ordinary small bowl of veggie soup for $5 - really? Â What's the food cost on veggie soup?? Â $.50? Â And, the otherwise friendly, if very casual service, was marred by my server asking if I'd like to take home my leftovers, duh? Â And then dumping a box on the table for me to transfer leftovers into. Â I think that's the server's job (or someone in the kitchen). Â Awkward for a customer to do on a table littered with dinner remains.
Her tip was assured when she arrived with a warm slice of baklava heaven for my friend's birthday though. Â He hates nuts - right on! Â Glad I saved room.
OK, I had been dreaming of and craving grilled chicken kabobs for days. Finally one day when we were out and about and searching for somewhere to go for lunch I said we must go to PK. So-so-so Happy we did!!! My dreams came true. I was such a happy girl.
It was a quite day on East Colfax. We were the only people sitting down for lunch, but as time went on it started to fill up. Our server let us choose where we wanted to sit since it was empty. It was sunny and bright inside and the atmosphere was very cheerful and relaxed. Our server was nice and pleasant and very helpful to us. She answered all of our questions without becoming annoyed.
We started off with Fouel Mudammas-fava beans marinated with garlic and lemon juice. I could swim in it! It was delicious! It was nice and warm and full of flavor. I really wanted hummus or baba ghanoush, but neither my mom nor my husband are fans :( We each chose a lunch special. I had the chicken kabob, go figure. My mom had the chicken shawarma. These were served with a huge side of rice, cucumber/tomato salad, and pita. It was only $7.95 too. I think I have found my new favorite lunch, I only wish it was closer to where I work, but I'm gonna pull it off somehow! Â Other choices for the lunch special are beef, kafta, and lamb kabobs, gyros and beef shawarma. I am a sucker for a good deal, and you can't beat this one.
The kabob was seasoned and grilled perfectly. The shawarma was tender and very flavorful. I honestly don't know which was my favorite, they were both so good. My husband had the chicken shawarma sandwich which he devoured. It was served in warm pita with green peppers and onions and came with fries.
We defiantly agreed we will be back, and I hope soon. I am really looking forward to trying more on the menu. I have my eye on the hummus shawarma for dinner....yummo!
Can't quite give Phoenician Kabob 5 stars because I come from the capital of Armenian, Persian, and Middle Eastern culture/food on the west side of the US - i.e.: Glendale California. Most food products are distributed from either Glendale or somewhere in New York.
So, back to my review... 4 stars because this restaurant was pretty darn good. The atmosphere was pleasant with neat decorations. The AC was horrible though... I felt muggy in there.
We ordered their Kibbi appetizer and that was ok. My grandmother makes Kibbi so I knew exactly what to compare their Kibbi to. Kibbi is a deep-fried wheat and meat ball. Theirs had pine nuts and my grandmother makes them with raisins. For dinner, my husband and I both ordered their chicken chef's plate that came with tabbouleh, hummus, and jasmine rice. The tabbouleh was OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD. I didn't think it was taste fresh but it was super fresh - probably just made. I absolutely LOVED IT! Their hummus was also quite delicious. I wish they would have served more though. The chicken kabob was juicy and tasted like it was barbecued. Yum!
We couldn't leave without dessert and coffee. We ordered baklava and Lebanese coffee and I thought the coffee was so unique (taste wise) then Armenian and Persian coffee that I have had in the past. I'm going to look for Lebanese coffee next time I'm at the Middle Eastern grocery store. Their Baklava was "meh." I wouldn't order it again. It needed more honey, too dry.
Highly recommended.
This has become one of my most favorite places to eat - me and the Missuses LOVE IT!!!
Sometimes the service is a bit slow - but who cares. The last time we were there we had a male server who seemed quite new and unsure of the menu (so a little bit slow but he was freindly and sincere) Â but we usually have a woman who may well be an owner and she is delightful. She explains everything!
You can take your time savoring the immense flavors of every dish that's comes out of the kitchen. We always start with the garlic spread - there is so much fresh garlic in there your tongue tingles!! Incredible.
We have only ever ordered the veggie platter so we cannot speak to much on the menu - but it is amazing. And if you can tolerate caffeine - I highly recommend the Lebanese coffee....mind blowing - but you will be going a 100 miles a minute for about four hours!!
You know what I love about this place?
I love how it's become my second home.
I love how the owner is like a father to me.
I love the delicious glasses of red and white Lebanese wine.
I love how the lamb medallions dipped in garlic sauce melt in my mouth.
I love how Sundays here aren't the end of my week, but the beginnings of a new one.
I love that my Turkish coffee comes with an in-depth fortune reading after I'm finished.
I love everything about Phoenician Kebab.
And most of all, I love that Westword and The Denver Post agree.
Absolutely delicious food, excellent/friendly service, really clean and pleasant space....don't get turned off by the outside street which is kind of dodgy, this place is great. If you have a large family, you are in luck - this place has the biggest booths I've ever seen. There is a full bar as well.
It does take a while to get your food, so I do recommend getting a small appetizer to start. But if you can wait, the entrees themselves are pretty size able - you'll probably have leftovers. I've never had room for dessert.
I recommend the Chefs Lamb platter - it's my favorite: deliciously marinaded lamb, tabbouleh, hummus and rice. everything you could want. I also think their pitas are outstanding.
Three stars because the food was delicious, but two stars on the help and general experience.
Not sure what the heck happened, but hubby only got half of what he ordered and charged for it anyway. You forgot my salad and were stingy on the wine--$6.50 for a glass is fine as long as you don't give me a half-glass serving.
Our water glasses remained empty for a long time, so much so that I snagged the hubby's and left his empty as well.
We were done with our meal by the time you asked if things were ok or if we needed another drink.
Meh......you're lucky the good food saved you an extra star.
I must have passed by this place hundreds of times in the past year and I didn't even notice it. I feel pretty stupid, becuase I would often whine to my wife about the fact that we had to go all the way across town to get any decent Middle Eastern.
So what a pleasant surprise when I stumbled upon it last week. This place has some pretty damn good food. It's a little pricey, but the indgredients are fresh and the service is excellent. Pros include the baba ganoush, the kafta kabob -not dry, the gyros, the lamb, baklava. Cons are no fresh pita and the hummus was just OK.
I will go back. But I really hope they start making fresh pitas. I mean, for 14-15 buck entrees and cloth napkins, I think we deserve it.
Picky is my middle name. Especially when it comes to food, wine, men and beds.
So when my friend and I decided to partake in a little middle eastern food for lunch, I read some reviews on Yelp and decided to try P-Kabob.
I must admit, I am always very skeptical of ethnic food restaurants in Denver. We just don't have the reputation that other big city melting pots have for their exotic and amazing eats tucked away in strip malls or shady neighborhoods.
It's either hit or miss in this city, but this time, thank you food gods, it was a hit.
We ordered a couple bowls of the lentil soup and the Sultan combo which included falafel, baba ghanoush, hummus, tabouleh, chicken, gyro meat, rice and dolmas.
If there is anything I hate more than lousy falafel, it's DRY falafel. Luckily P-Kabobs falafel is moist and perfectly seasoned. The chicken schwarma and gyro were moist and flavorful. Everything else was awesome too. The baba ghanoush had the intense smokey taste that is typical of the Lebanese (my Armenian bf informed me of this fact). Oh, and the soup was good too. The perfect size, simple and delish.
I will definitely frequent this place when the middle eastern craving kicks in. I enjoyed the ambiance and the spacious dining room. The young waitresses were really pleasant and super attentive.
Wish I had leftovers :-(
Listen, I don't just eat at any old middle eastern place. I had given up on middle eastern restaurants in Denver after lackluster food at Jerusalem's (it got rave reviews from all my friends).
I've had falafel pitas on the streets of old Jerusalem and Tel Aviv since I was small so it's not like I don't have falafel cred. And, P-Kabob was great! Falafel and hummus were fantastic, pitas were flat (not like my faves in Israel), but overall the food was very good. My hubby said his lamb was great. It actually didn't take that long to get the food, but we did order apps based on what I heard from the reviews.
Plus, they have REALLY LONG booths...you could probably fit 3-4 people on EACH side!
I will go back again for sure.
Hit this spot up with a bunch of Yelpees last weekend. The hummus and gyros plate that I had for dinner was pretty darned tasty. I was a wee bit disappointed by the falafel, but everything else was solid. I really, really liked the beer that we had (was it Almaza? I'm drawing a blank).
What really made this experience memorable for me, though, were two things - Â the personalized service by the owners and the performance by the bellydancer. The owners were so attentive and so patient with our huge party. That really goes a long way with me.
The entertainment was so awesome! Lily, my toddler, was absolutely entranced by her and followed her around the restaurant, wiggling her little heart out. I was in awe of her abilty to gyrate and have now decided that this is a form of exercise I'd like to attempt. Furthermore, I found it way too funny for words that more than a few of the tattoo artists from Freaky's decided to join everyone for the bellydancing entertainment.
The restaurant is warm and inviting, the people are welcoming, and the experience was definitely one I wouldn't mind recreating. Good times. Go check them out.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant last night surrounded by a bunch of new friends! I am happy to be turned onto cool new people in a cool new place. Well new to me!
I have to say taking care of our large crowd was no easy task and the server did a really good job. We were given a lot of attention by the owners and they seemed to be really thriving. The place was really hoppin' and they kept up with everything. We by no means made this an easy task!
The belly dancer was fun and talented and helped to really seal the mood and flavor of the place. It was even more fun to watch a small child watch her. We had some wonderful cheesy bready type thing that was scrumptious and I have reminisced about it several times so far today! I bet it would do wonders for this hang over I've acquired that's another story. The bartender knows what he's doing for sure! I ordered a gyros plate and too be honest the meat was really dry and thus affected the entire plate. I was disappointed but will definitely be back for another go, especially since I didn't get any of the dessert! You must move fast for such delicacies when at a table with 14 women...and David!
Good job everyone we all had a blast and did it supporting a great local business!
I would probably go to this restaurant more often if it were just a little bit more affordable. Two people can't get out of here for less than $30.
The upside of Phoenician Kabob is that the food is fresh and delicious. The owner makes the meals and delivers them to you himself, which leads me to the downside...
Both times that I have been here, the service has been so-so. Yesterday, one of the patrons, who must be a regular, told me to take a seat anywhere, and gave me a menu. The owner came out (not immediately) and took our order (he asked me if I wanted ice in my water - a little odd) and then my boyfriend and I had to wait awhile to get our food. After we got our food (which was beautifully orchestrated on the plate), we were pretty much left to our own devices. We could have used a couple of more swings by the table from the server for refills on our drinks and more pita bread.
My advice - call your order in and pick up food to go. This is the best Baba Ganouj that I've had in Denver - the food doesn't disappoint. This place isn't about atmosphere or service, it's about the food.
The food was just ok. Â I ordered the Lamb Shank as the main entree when I received it, my meal was already cold.
I want to return it to server, but since we have a huge party last night, I just decide to eat them. Â The main entree comes with a salad. Â After the whole event, I went back home still hungry...
:(
The new drug of choice being peddled on East Colfax is Baba Ghanoush! Â Well...at least I am addicted.
Step into Phoenician Kabob and you won't be wowed with the atmosphere. Â But the food is awesome. Â I previously yelped the glory of PK's Baba Ghanoush and shawarma - I thought I would provide an update of some of their other delights. Â
In the morning, you can get yourself some traditional Lebanese breakfast. Â At a mere $2.95, the zatar is a wonderful morning treat. Â It is essentially a brick-fired flat bread covered with a salty-savory mixture of toasted sesame seeds, thyme, almonds, olive oil and other spices. Â I like to order with a side of BG and a cup of fresh brewed coffee.
For lunch, my favs are the gyro sandwich and the kafta kabob sandwich. Â PK's lunch specials are fabulously good deals that will sit lightly in your stomach allowing for you to be productive in the afternoon - I can't say the same thing about many other restaurants.
The dinner choices go on and on - it is hard to go wrong. Â
Host/Waiter/Chef/Bartender Tony works his butt off to keep you comfortable and well fed. Â The service can be occasionally slow, but it is worth it for this wonderful homestyle meal experience. Â A liquor license is in the works as the proprietor continues to develop his new restaurant.
