Wonderful food here. And a nice calm section of Denver. The chicken gyro was fantastic, as was the chicken gyro entree as well. The staff is very friendly, and very attentive. Very much appreciated their input on desserts and entrees. Desserts were fantastic as well, they make them in half. Particularly enjoyed the brownie, chocolate cake, and baklava.

I needed a quick quality lunch and tried this restaurant for the 1st time. I had a Beef and Lamb Gyros Sandwich and tried their Baklava. The sandwich was more of a wrap, and was SO SO good!!! Great quality food for the low price. The Baklava was divine, didn’t even get a pic. I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m near the DU area again!!!

Jerusulums is a great spot for a late-night meal, and I recently had the pleasure of ordering their Hummus and Gyro Plate. Everything was pretty good, and I was impressed by the flavors. The hummus had a creamy texture and was packed with delicious Middle Eastern spices. The gyro plate was equally delightful, with tender and well-seasoned meat. The combination of flavors was satisfying, making it a solid choice for a late-night craving.

A classic and still my gold standard for quick middle eastern food. The platters are the best way to try all the best things at once. And the staff is always great.
