Phenomenal gyros and chicken pita wraps! To die for!! Mor the owner is the man, and has remembered my family's names for almost a decade now. Highly recommend
Are you looking for the best gyro in North Colorado? Well, don't look any further. The gyros here are bangin'! If my partner loves 'em, I promise they are fire. The regular gyro is a meal alone. No sides needed. This is a flavorful messy a$$ gyro you want to roll your sleeves up for. Make sure you add feta - they are very generous! This looks like a family owned business which we love to support. The staff were very nice - thank you! We can't wait to go back and try some other menu items. I kid you not, it will be hard to stray from the traditional gyro though. Time for the gyro to be made was a little long but worth the wait.
Finding really good food in Colorado is incredibly difficult. But this place is definitely top tier! The food is soooo good & the service is amazing - everyone is so nice. The gyro entree is amazing but I'm positive everything else on the menu is just as delicious. Definitely recommend this spot to everyone I know.
Mumtaz in Arabic means "the best" while... Mumtaz in Lafayette means "the best" Chicken Shawarma Wrap! It's a Mediterranean treasure that is packed with grilled chicken, crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, zippy feta cheese and creamy garlic sauce. It's a deliciously filling meal that will not disappoint! IMPORTANT NOTE: It's only open for lunch (or early dinner 4:30 pm). I'd say this is a quick no-frills lunch or pick up spot for the office. The staff is friendly and serve the meals up with a smile.
Great food, very tasty at first experience. Dry friendly servers and quick service, cute ambiance. Recommend trying this restaurant!!
Food and service was amazing!!! definitely look forward to eating there again :) -Anna
The service and owner is great. Just wish they had more evening business to be open after 4pm. Gyros and fries are so delicious and filling and recommend garlic sauce as compliment to your fries
DEEEEE- licious! We went here wanting something on the lighter side. And we're so happy with our choice
Really friendly staff and outstanding food. The falafel was some of the best! I really wanted to try a bit of everything. Around our table we had the traditional gyro and a hummus wrap as well. Really, some of the best med food out there! (I believe they're only open for lunch.)
I kept passing this place and finally decided to try them. They have delicious vegetarian dolmas! The dolmas (which are vegan) are easily my favorite item on their menu. I also ordered a pita combo. The fries were just ok... They're just salted; there's no special seasoning to make them stand out. The falafel pita with tahini was good though. The staff was very nice, welcoming, and friendly.
