Best WLM Reviews
Came here because it was a Michelin Bib Gourmand. We were NOT disappointed. The gluten-free pita was excellent as was the regular pita, but I did not get to taste it. The hummus was addictive. The mushrooms were the perfect addition to the hummus. I had the lamb bowl and it was a perfect gluten-free option. The pickles were excellent. Our party also enjoyed the lamb gyro (not gluten-free). The baklava was not gluten-free, so I could not eat it, but the two that ate it loved it. It was thick and rich- exploding with beautiful pistachios. Waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lovely chill vibe.
I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful cafe specializing in Israeli cuisine, and it was an outstanding experience! We tried the hummus, baba ganoush, and steak kebab, and each dish was a perfect blend of flavors. The hummus was smooth and velvety, with just the right amount of tang, while the baba ganoush had a smoky depth that was simply irresistible. The steak kebab was cooked to perfection – tender, juicy, and full of rich flavors. And to top it all off, we indulged in the baklava, which was absolutely heavenly! Flaky, sweet, and perfectly balanced with nuts and honey, it was the ideal end to a fantastic meal. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Israeli dishes!
This was the best food I've ever had. We went as a group of eight and they were so accommodating. This was great for a huge party with tons to share. We got basically everything on the menu. The drinks were to die for. Also they are so good with allergies. We had different people with a nut, gluten, and dairy allergy. I can't describe how amazing this place is, definitely a go to!
First time there but should have come sooner. Several friends recommended it. It reminded me of our trip to Morocco with the excellent Tajine chicken dish we had. We also love the small plate Mezze dishes ( humus, lamb, z’Tara fries). We didn’t try the main dishes because the tajine dishes are quite large . There were four of us and we had the chicken tajine, hummus , pita, and two other small plates and it was plenty.
Cute place, the food is absolutely delicious. The bowl and gyros were good! I love their Mediterranean flavors. Staff are friendly and I would come back whenever I’m in Denver.
How can I give 5 stars on food/service but an overall 3star review? Their decision to automatically add 20% to your bill to take care of all of the employees. It's a ripoff for the waitstaff. YOU pay your staff and let me tip my wait person. Other than that, tasty food but small portions.
Good food but I hope the chicken zaatar would have more zaatar flavor, I am used on zaatar taste so for me i barely tasted the zaatar on the chicken though it’s good very crispy skin and soft meat inside.
Love the outdoor sitting outside
Friendly waiter and waitresses
The crowds gather early - and in spite of a reservation made a week ago, the hostess says that there will be a short wait - the tables outside are all full. The bartending stools are empty. The bar is well stocked.
A Google search for Ashkara turns up an interesting answer:
One of the favorite words in Israel is ashkara, an Arabic slang word that you use when you want to verify that something is true in an almost dramatic way. Example: "You really managed to get out in time? Ashkara?"
We're led to a table right outside the entrance. It begins to drizzle lightly - and instantly, a cover unfurls. They've obviously planned for sudden showers
The spread of hummus with a light moat of oil around the center looks appetizing. And so do the puffed and easy to shred pita breads resting on the plate.
As we dip into the hummus and the bread, the flavours are fresh and sharp.
The finger chips and the falafel arrive. Round, crisp and warm to the touch. They break into little morsels of softness and crisp exteriors mingling in the mouth.
The spinach pastry is a mix of green layered crispness. But that is unexpected - and the spinach taste dominates a trifle more than it should.
By then we're satiated. The carrots and sweet potatoes are packed to.go.
And the night was still young - the summer sun shining at 8.00 PM in the evening. For someone used to tropical days, it's like magic hour stretches the body cycle.
