One of my favorite restaurants. The food is always amazing and is fantastically consistant. Top to bottom delicious menu and a decently priced option for lunch or dinner.

Oh yeah! Now those are some good Gyros! Yanni's needs to take a lesson from Tzatziki's. All the food I've eaten here has been delicious and very fresh. The owner and wait staff are very friendly and attentive. It's a small place but so far I've always gotten a table. I doubt that once word gets out about this place a table will be so easy to get. Don't be fooled if there aren't too many other people. Just sit down and have yourself an excellent meal.

Wasn't really in the mood for Mediterranean food, but the Mrs. was really pushing for it on this visit. We contemplated Damascus Grill, but ended up here instead. The interior isn't much to look at as it doesn't appear to have had anything done to it since the early 90's - complete with holes in the seats covered with tape....classy; but it totally adds to the atmosphere. With that being said, the food and service were excellent! The wait staff was polite and very accommodating. The menu doesn't look like much and there aren't tons of options -- just traditional Mediterranean. I had the Beef Shawarma and the Mrs. had the Gyro plate. Our daughter, not to thrilled about the experience was opting for the Chicken Fingers (thumbs up to Tzatziki's for having fare that was geared toward kids). We encouraged her to try the Gyro, but having never had it she wasn't going for it. That all changed though when our waiter brought out a sample of Gyro meat for her to try and then she was sold. I love the fact that they brought a sample so she could make a choice! Portions -- they are MASSIVE! I had enough beef on my plate for two people easily. The beef was tender and flavorful with not an ounce of fat to be seen. I tried some of the Gyro and it was also excellent. Try the Falafel - they are awesome! I'm still very partial to Saj, but this is definitely one to add to the list of Mediterranean places to visit.

Had the daily lunch special and it was awesome (price-wise and delicious)! Cal is perhaps an owner. He was everything the day we were there: host, cook and server. He did a great job, is cute and very personable and funny. He sold us on his baklava. It was amazing! Too bad it's not closer to where I live. Next time I'm down that way, I'll definitely stop in.

As I'm discovering more about Greek food I decided to try this place because the Greek restaurant we have in Parker has really bad service. My husband had a chicken gyro and I had chicken kabobs. I think they were made with the same chicken, but I'm not sure. Anyways, everything was tasty and the pitas were soft. I really wanted to try the baklava but I didn't have room in my stomach. The hummus was nice and smooth. I tried the rice and had some fries; the fries are nothing out of the ordinary. The rice has a slightly sweet hint to it, which I wasn't expecting. It wasn't bad, but I'm not one for sweet flavor in my meals (unless it's dessert or breakfast). After it all, I must say that I do prefer the kabobs at the place closer to home as well as their fries more which is why I haven't given Tzatziki's a 5 star review. If this were my first experience with Greek however, I'm sure they would get 5 from me, the service was good and the food is solid.

This is a little gem in a tiny strip mall. I've lived in this area for years and never tried this place out, but glad I finally did! This place was super yummy. The falafel I had was perfect. Large, airy, and crispy. Don't pass it up. One of the best I have ever had! The hummus was also good! A thicker, traditional hummus that would make anyone who is a hummus lover happy. I wasn't too crazy about the tabbouleh. There was a lot a parsley in it. But, I can see why people would like it. I'll have to come back and try the plates because they look delicious!

Great food, reasonable price, quaint restaurant, super personable host. My wife and I both enjoyed a quiet, late lunch on a Saturday - I went for the Meat Combination and enjoyed the chicken, beef, and gyro. My wife thought the hummus was the best she has ever had. Far away from our normal travels, but I could see us making a way to fit this little restaurant into another Saturday in Littleton.

Mike F.
Very, very good. I had the meat combination plate and everything was delicious. The gyro meat was crispy, yet tender and savory. The chicken was juicy and tangy. The beef kabob was tender and rich. Combined withe the delicious hummus and tzatziki and I was in heaven. Friendly service.

At first glance, this little restaurant provokes doubt in new customers due to an obvious need of maintenance. However, all fear is erased by the personable host and the superb quality of the food. The host even helped my husband use pita the correct way, so it was a learning experience as well!

Had the mezze sampler (vegetarian player) at lunch yesterday. The tabbouleh was amazing, just what it should be but rarely is: a burst of fresh flavor, the parsley and the tangy dressing balancing perfectly. Hummus and baba ganoush were nice, the rice and stuffed grape leaves good as well. The falafel were the only disappointment: while freshly made and fried with a great crunchy exterior, the inside had no texture beyond being like mashed potatoes, and worse, little flavor of the beans or of spicing. That was a big flaw, but that excellent tabbouleh, and the very friendly personal service made up for a lot.

Had lunch here with a friend. Food was delicious but the baklava was rancid..I drew the owners attention to it and he absolutely lost it. I don't think I've ever been yelled that in front of a roomful of strangers like that before. It absolutely enraged him. Don't think I'll be back.

Headline: Best hole in the wall Gyro place evah! Tzatziki's is small - like eight tables small, and located in a strip mall in Greenwood Village. It definitely qualifies as a dive. The staff are obviously first or second generation greeks or israelis and that makes for fantastic food. I got a gyro with fatouche (which is a salad with lettuce, tomato, parsley and cucumber), hummus and spanish rice. My wife got the sandwich version of the same. The sandwich version comes with fries. Let's start with the Gyro. The Gyro was among the best gyros I have ever eaten. The fatouche dressing was light, the the hummus had a drizzle of olive oil and a shake of paprika - very lightly flavored. The let downs were the rice and fries. Seriously - give them a skip. You will be disappointed. Bagged crinkle cut fries just don't do it for me. The pita that came with the hummus was cold - just ask them to heat it up. I decided to try their Baklava for dessert. The Baklava was less sweet than is normal in the US, but certainly more traditional. it was most excellent. In the end, this wasn't a place I'd seek out - it's a bit out of the way for me, but the service and food was top notch, and I will definitely be returning if I am in the area.

Wanted to go to the bistro a few doors down from here one day, but they've got the wackiest hours, so we decided to check this place out. We were not disappointed. The food was great, the service was good, and the prices were reasonable. Will go again.

AMAZING!!!! Definitely will frequent here!!! Hummus is to die for. The beef was seasoned so well and cooked just the way I like it, juicy and tender. Dinner for 2 with dessert was $28. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys meditarrian food.

Shira Y.
My favorite place for hummus, baba ganoush, gyros, , and falafel. Hole in the wall that overall does a very good job. well-priced with great lunch specials. Rice is not middle eastern style and I highly recommend passing on it. Fries are regular crinkle fries. One of the owners, Kal, is a trip, making the meal a dinner and show. He's wonderful. Note that there is limited seating, and that the decor is quite outdated, so this is not a place for ambience or a first date. It's very clean though.
(4)
Carissa P.
You aren't here for ambiance, or to impress a first date you're here for fresh, authentic Greek food. So authentic that the owner is a 3rd generation Greek chef, he knows what he's doing. Their hummus will ruin you from eating it anywhere else because you can taste their good quality olive oil in it along with better quality garbanzos. Get the lentil soup, it's vegetarian and full of flavor. I'm also a fan of his tabouli and fattoush also drizzled the same yummy olive oil and made with fresh ingredients made that same day. Expect to pay around $10 a plate and don't be shy - the place is so small (8 or so tables) that we always end up chatting with other diners.

Sho G.
Only been here once but everything we ordered was really delicious. We ordered baba ghanouj, a greek salad, and sheesh ta'ouk. The place is located in a little strip mall and is small but comfy and the service was fantastic. I intend on going back as it has been hit or miss with other Mediterranean places lately.

Lacy S.
Tzatziki's food is awesome. It's one of the few restaurants within walking distance of my house where I can get vegan food that's not an iceberg lettuce salad. Their hummus is the best I've ever eaten. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are pretty gigantic. The staff is always really friendly and food always comes out very quickly. The owner (at least I think he's the owner) figured out I was vegan and informed me that their baklava contains no animal products. It's made with rosewater and it is delicious.

Jared T.
We drive across town to get here, as much for the service as the food. Great little hole in the wall place where you're treated like family and served really solid Greek & Mediterranean food. I'd much rather go to places like this where you're treated warmly and appreciated than to some chain where you're a hassle to the minimum waged employees.

Oh man. The falafel! The hummus! This hummus is beautiful- a perfect flavor and texture. I had the vegetarian platter and all I can say that what was wrong was that I wanted more falafel. Just two chunks, not enough. The salads were great too and the baba ghanouj delish. I am suprised that only 4 elites have reviewed this place. I am only giving it four stars only because it is my first time eating here and I also had take out, so I can't speak to the service. However, when I picked up my meal, the waiter was friendly and funny. I fear there will be a lot of falafel from Tzatziki's in my future.

Hand's down BEST hummus ever - creamy, dreamy, delicious. Met a friend for lunch here and since I was not expecting much decor-wise, was fine when, upon entering, realized it lived up to my mediocre standards. Then we saw the lunch special. $7.50 and you get a choice of a meat, side, salad, starch, sauce (chicken shwarma, hummus, rice, light salad, tzatziki). The value of the meal allowed me to overlook the fact I was sitting on tape holding the booth seat together. We had baklava, which is not my fave, but flaky and different (he uses a little rose and that is not my ideal food additive). The guy who I think was the owner was entertaining and attentive and was enough to bring me back, but the excellent food will keep me coming back.

Skeeba G.
I ordered the Vegetarian Combination, which was wonderful! The hummus was seriously the best I've ever had. It was creamy and had a great consistency. The falafel was crispy and flavorful, and the tahini and dolmas were awesome too! For dessert we had coconut cookies and baklava. The baklava was unlike any other I've had before. We were told it was vegan and made with rosewater. It was very sweet, and almost burst with flavor and juices when you bit into it. It was a lot softer than any other kind of baklava I've ever had, but still very good. The coconut cookies were buttery, melted in my mouth, and were absolutely to die for. Best of all was the customer service! Our waiter was very friendly and charming. Definitely will come back again.

Excellent spot, great service, and very fresh food. Stopped on a business trip to Denver and had a great meal. The Lemon Chicken Soup is awesome and so is their Chicken Salad(not grilled chix) and their house dressing is great too. PS-please open up a spot in Cleveland soon!!!

Excellent Mediterranean food. Simple and what you'd expect to eat flavor wise--seasoned well and juicy meats. Had the meat combo and got to try kafta kabob, gyro meat, chicken and lamb with rice salad and hummus AND a side of pita. Service was great and we will definitely come back because I wanna try the lamb shank special on the weekend.

I stopped in for a late lunch and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food (I had the lamb gyro lunch plate with baba ghanouj, salad, fries and tzatziki sauce) and the friendliness of the owner who was waiting tables that day. He was attentive without being underfoot (a rare and highly difficult skill to perfect) and made my experience enjoyable. The lamb and the baba ghanouj were the best parts of the meal and I feel safe exploring the more colorful parts of the menu on my next visit.

I drove by Tzatziki's without stopping for almost two years, and that was a mistake, because this place is great! I've stopped once for takeout and dined there once, and had a great experience both times. The falafel plate is my favorite so far-- it comes with rice, delicious hummus, Greek salad, pita, and tzatziki. My husband likes the gyro meat platter (same side dishes). The owner is helpful and super friendly. He obviously has some very regular customers, and I can see why. Plus, entrees are under $12 for a very generous portion of food, so it's economical as well as delicious. I brought my leftovers to work today, and I can't wait for lunchtime. Definitely recommended if you're in the area!

Absolutely love this place. You are always welcomed by a member of the family and the food is amazing. Everything is very fresh and you always leave happy and satisfied. I love coming here as it's hard to eat at chains where quality is compromised for speed and to get as much money as possible here you get exceptional food, service, and can truly tell that their food isn't processed and just warmed up like other places. The owner is super friendly and always makes sure to treat you like a part of the family. So glad I found this place I have been coming here for years and will continue for many to come.

People seem to love this place and I truly adore holes in the wall that are located in strip malls. Unfortunately it was not a great experience for me. I ordered the chicken shwarma and it was really dry. The flavor was ok- a little odd- but just so dry. The hummus was terrific. The rice was good but there was way too much of it. Hubs had the gyro and enjoyed his. The fries weren't very crispy and didn't have much flavor. I want to believe this place does it better than we experienced but we probably won't be back.

The best Mediterranean food this side of the Atlantic. Generous portions and friendly staff. The chic shawarma, tzatziki, and hummus were amazing. Do Not pass this place up. Drove from Co Springs to go to new Trader Joe's and found this gem across the street. It is worth the drive alone.

Without doubt the BEST med cuisine in Denver, if not all of Colorado. Everything we ordered was fresh and fantastic. Do not confuse Tzatziki's with the new chain Taziki's. The food here is better and more authentic.

Stopped in here after having my car serviced. It's a little place tucked into a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from trying the food. I ordered the meat combo plate so I could sample a few things, and it was good. It was a lot of food and I couldn't finish it, so that's always good. The platter included gyro meat along with beef, kefta, and chicken kabobs. It also had some hummus, rice and fatouche. It comes with a little serving of their name sake, the Tzatziki sauce. I ordered one falafel as an afterthough, as well, and I'm so very glad I did. The combo platter was good, but the falafel was the best part of the meal. The only downer about the meal was the pita-it was just the run of the mill store bought stuff that added nothing. All in all, the place is definitely worth a try. The people working there seemed to be friendly, as well. I'd frequent the place if it was closer to me, but the next time I take my car in for some routine servicing, I may have to give it another shot!

Still trying to figure out how this place has a 4.5 stars rating! I mean have you guys ever tried authentic Greek or Arabic food?! The place is small and uncomfortable. The decor has nothing to do with the cuisine, and the background music is a bit random. Now let's go to the food quality, service, and price! They call their place "tzatzikis" which is the name of the Greek spread that normally accompanies a gyro wrap. They use the cheapest ingredients to make tzatziki, so it obviously tastes bad. I got the meat platter and a glass of iced tea and was charged $18.65!!! The platter included 3 pieces of processed gyro, 3 pieces of really bad cooked beef, 2 pieces of chicken (that was actually good), some salad, and half of the plate was covered with hummus. Now the hummus was spread as a thin layer on the plate. Let's be honest and start rating restaurants properly. This place does not deserve more than 2 stars.

After searching southern Littleton to no avail for a bison burger that wouldn't break the bank, my wife, son and I decided to come to this little Mediterranean restaurant that I had read about on Yelp but never tried. My son and I really like the flavors of food from the eastern Med - we frequently go to Shawarma's further south on University (great place, by the way), to Falafel King when in Boulder visiting my older son, and to Garbanzo's when we're driving past and hungry. My wife, however, is generally not fond of this kind of food - she's nice enough to join us at Falafel King, but other than that would rather give this kind of food a miss. Tzatziki's is a little hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall - nothing special in decor on the inside or out. We sat down as a thunderstorm moved in, ordered our beverages, and waited for our meal to arrive. I ordered the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) for starters. These delectable little gems are served cold in some places and hot in others - the ones here are almost too hot to pick up when the plate arrives, and served with yogurt-cucumber sauce for dipping. I didn't ask, but my guess is they're made fresh in-house, as the flavors are a bit different and more prominent than you find at other local places. Our main course arrived, and I was quite impressed. I had the falafel plate, which came with 5 very large and properly cooked falafels. I don't like dried out falafels, and these were moist, and chewy, and had a bit more pronounced spices in them than is customary. The meal came with a garlic hummus that was creamy and delicious, rice, a tabbouli salad, and the required and ubiquitous pita bread. My wife had the Kallayah, cubed braised beef with parsley, onions and green pepper, served with rice, Fatouche salad, and the same scrumptious garlic hummus, She loved it, and said we can come back here again - a big accomplishment for someone who generally dislikes this kind of food. The piece de resistance was my son's meal, however - beautifully braised lamb shank served piping hot on a bed of rice, with a full plate of green salad on the side. It looked and smelled absolutely wonderful, and he said it tasted better than it looked. I've given Tzatziki's five stars because it is as good as it gets for Mediterranean food in Denver. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back often.

Visiting from Arlington, VA and ate here on advice from relative. I had the "create-your-own lunch platter" and the food was absolutely amazing. I love Mediterranean food and love to eat it out wherever I am and am always doing a comparison. Tzatiki's food is tops and I will definitely eat here whenever I am in the Denver area. It is not a fancy restaurant sitting in a small strip mall next to Vitality Spa II and the decor is mediocre. But if you want great Mediterranean food, this is the place to go.
(5)
Ran T.
Tzatziki's, how do you make your hummus so creamy and your meat so juicy? I want the recipe! Short wait time for lunch takeout. What's not to love? Plus you can shop at the strip mall across the road and then eat some here!

Adam B.
Me and my wife have been looking for a solid Mediterranean place since we moved out here to Denver, yelp gave us the confidence to give this place a shot. Truly a transcendent food experience. A nice small little restaurant size gives you confidence right away that this place is going to be quality, and not an On the Border or Chevy's kind of quality. The guy doing the serving and manning the hosting booth was named Kel I think, super funny energetic dude who adds a whole lot to the experience. My wife ordered a lamb pita sandwich and she liked it which was mind boggling because she hates lamb, these guys converted her. I was going to have the Greek salad but went for the falafel plate after looking at some of the yelp pics, one of the best falafels I've ever had, and the hummus was bomb.com , no doubt these guys have credentials you can only get in the holy land. Don't underestimate these beasts from the Middle East.

He joked around with us in a pleasant manner that made us want to return, and we also overheard some of his conversations with another table, and a phone conversation over a take out order. He seems to just love his job, and is a natural when it comes to customer service! He was incredibly funny and had us laughing the whole time we were there. We will definitely return!

Like some others, I've been driving by and ignoring this place since it opened, and that is unfortunate. The food is really quite exceptional. I am not a huge hummus fan, and don't eat much bread, but I couldn't stop dipping my pita pieces in there and getting more. I had the lamb shank which was exceptionally tender. I can't remember the name of my wife's dish, but the flavors were subtle but complex at the same time. I made sure to steal some of hers. Ask the owner to pair wine for you if you are a wine drinker. He loves doing it and does a good job. Not the prettiest, but definitely a fun place with great food.

Tzatziki's was my first dining experience in Denver, and if it's any indication of the rest of the city, I'll be back again and again. The food was great, and our waiter was a wonderfully charming and friendly guy who didn't have any problem chatting his own food up. If you got it, flaunt it, right? The hummus at this place was by and far the best hummus I've ever had. Creamy, not too heavy, but plenty flavorful. I had a falafel plate, and while the falafel didn't have too much flavor inside, the texture of both the inside and outside made up for it -- not to mention, the portions were generous. The tabbouleh was fantastic, nice and tangy and bright and colorful. By and large, the fresh, warm, buttery, crumbly coconut cookie was the greatest thing about this meal. I would go back there again and again for the cookie and the hummus alone. On the other side, the pita could have used a little work.

While Phoenician Kabob remains my #1 favorite place for Middle Eastern food in Denver, Tzatziki's is my go-to place when I'm craving a decent gyro, and don't want the hassle of driving to Colfax. Their new $7.50 lunch special is a pretty good deal: choose between lamb/chicken gyro/shawarma or falafel + hummus or baba g with pita + tabbouleh or fattoush + rice or fries + tahini sauce or tzatziki. The falafel is better value for money (four good-sized pieces versus a somewhat skimpy serving of gyro) but everything is fresh, and tastes great. Service is always really friendly and your food is brought out quickly. It's a shame this place never seems to be terribly busy - I'd hate to see them go out of business.

Wanted to go to the bistro a few doors down from here one day, but they've got the wackiest hours, so we decided to check this place out. We were not disappointed. The food was great, the service was good, and the prices were reasonable. Will go again.

AMAZING!!!! Definitely will frequent here!!! Hummus is to die for. The beef was seasoned so well and cooked just the way I like it, juicy and tender. Dinner for 2 with dessert was $28. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys meditarrian food.

My favorite place for hummus, baba ganoush, gyros, , and falafel. Hole in the wall that overall does a very good job. well-priced with great lunch specials. Rice is not middle eastern style and I highly recommend passing on it. Fries are regular crinkle fries. One of the owners, Kal, is a trip, making the meal a dinner and show. He's wonderful. Note that there is limited seating, and that the decor is quite outdated, so this is not a place for ambience or a first date. It's very clean though.

You aren't here for ambiance, or to impress a first date you're here for fresh, authentic Greek food. So authentic that the owner is a 3rd generation Greek chef, he knows what he's doing. Their hummus will ruin you from eating it anywhere else because you can taste their good quality olive oil in it along with better quality garbanzos. Get the lentil soup, it's vegetarian and full of flavor. I'm also a fan of his tabouli and fattoush also drizzled the same yummy olive oil and made with fresh ingredients made that same day. Expect to pay around $10 a plate and don't be shy - the place is so small (8 or so tables) that we always end up chatting with other diners.

I'm not sure why Tzatziki's is never very busy because the food is quite good and the prices are reasonable. I've eaten here twice and got a take-out order on one occasion, and I liked everything they served. I've have tried the Chicken Shawarma and Gyro sandwich on pita on loved them both. The French fries that came with the Gyro were very hot (temperature-wise) too - not sitting under a heat lamp. One night they had a lamb shank special which cost a little more, but was worth it. The meat was tender, lightly spicy, and hot. The atmosphere may be tuning away some potential customers. The tables are comfortable but a bit old looking. Also, you can hear every word coming from the kitchen and one night we overheard an argument going on. It made us all a bit uncomfortable. But the waiters have always been friendly and helpful. I recommend Tzatziki's without hesitation if you are out with friends or a casual date. The food is quite good and most meals are in the $9-$12 range for dinner. It's on the west side of University just south of Orchard. There's plenty of parking out back too.

Great prices, delicious food. The best gyros I've eaten in the USA. If I lived in Denver Tzatziki's would be my new favorite place.

Freshest Mediterranean food in Denver that I've found. Small place, perfect for lunch. Small staff, maybe family? Bright and cheerful waiter, great sense of humor but not over the top or always in your face. All the favors on your plate are well balanced. I take people here for lunch all the time and will keep coming back. It's is the only restaurant where my finished plate usually looks as clean as a plate it of the dishwasher...not an easy task with hummus ;-)

This is a wonderful little place. Great service, great food, great prices. The beef and lamb gyros is excellent and served with a wonderful cucumber dressing on the side. I have never had better hummus (served with pita) and fatouche. Weekdays the lunch special makes good prices great. Service is excellent.

The best I've had in a long time! Very friendly service! I got the meat combo, the shwarma (sp?) was cooked perfectly and the gyros were awesome! Its too bad we were in a hurry and had to scarf it down. I don't make it down that way very often but I might start finding more reasons to do so.

Stopped in here after having my car serviced. It's a little place tucked into a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from trying the food. I ordered the meat combo plate so I could sample a few things, and it was good. It was a lot of food and I couldn't finish it, so that's always good. The platter included gyro meat along with beef, kefta, and chicken kabobs. It also had some hummus, rice and fatouche. It comes with a little serving of their name sake, the Tzatziki sauce. I ordered one falafel as an afterthough, as well, and I'm so very glad I did. The combo platter was good, but the falafel was the best part of the meal. The only downer about the meal was the pita-it was just the run of the mill store bought stuff that added nothing. All in all, the place is definitely worth a try. The people working there seemed to be friendly, as well. I'd frequent the place if it was closer to me, but the next time I take my car in for some routine servicing, I may have to give it another shot!

Excellent spot, great service, and very fresh food. Stopped on a business trip to Denver and had a great meal. The Lemon Chicken Soup is awesome and so is their Chicken Salad(not grilled chix) and their house dressing is great too. PS-please open up a spot in Cleveland soon!!!

J L.
Excellent Mediterranean food. Simple and what you'd expect to eat flavor wise--seasoned well and juicy meats. Had the meat combo and got to try kafta kabob, gyro meat, chicken and lamb with rice salad and hummus AND a side of pita. Service was great and we will definitely come back because I wanna try the lamb shank special on the weekend.

I drove by Tzatziki's without stopping for almost two years, and that was a mistake, because this place is great! I've stopped once for takeout and dined there once, and had a great experience both times. The falafel plate is my favorite so far-- it comes with rice, delicious hummus, Greek salad, pita, and tzatziki. My husband likes the gyro meat platter (same side dishes). The owner is helpful and super friendly. He obviously has some very regular customers, and I can see why. Plus, entrees are under $12 for a very generous portion of food, so it's economical as well as delicious. I brought my leftovers to work today, and I can't wait for lunchtime. Definitely recommended if you're in the area!

Great food, great wine, great prices, & phenomenal service :) locally owned and superb tzatziki,'gyros & hummus :) so much food I couldn't eat it all and have wonderful leftovers for lunch! Our server was funny, attentive, personable & makes us wanna come bak. My husband got the meat combo--very good chicken!

Absolutely love this place. You are always welcomed by a member of the family and the food is amazing. Everything is very fresh and you always leave happy and satisfied. I love coming here as it's hard to eat at chains where quality is compromised for speed and to get as much money as possible here you get exceptional food, service, and can truly tell that their food isn't processed and just warmed up like other places. The owner is super friendly and always makes sure to treat you like a part of the family. So glad I found this place I have been coming here for years and will continue for many to come.

Oh yeah! Now those are some good Gyros! Yanni's needs to take a lesson from Tzatziki's. All the food I've eaten here has been delicious and very fresh. The owner and wait staff are very friendly and attentive. It's a small place but so far I've always gotten a table. I doubt that once word gets out about this place a table will be so easy to get. Don't be fooled if there aren't too many other people. Just sit down and have yourself an excellent meal.

Sho G.
Only been here once but everything we ordered was really delicious. We ordered baba ghanouj, a greek salad, and sheesh ta'ouk. The place is located in a little strip mall and is small but comfy and the service was fantastic. I intend on going back as it has been hit or miss with other Mediterranean places lately.
(5)
Lacy S.
Tzatziki's food is awesome. It's one of the few restaurants within walking distance of my house where I can get vegan food that's not an iceberg lettuce salad. Their hummus is the best I've ever eaten. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are pretty gigantic. The staff is always really friendly and food always comes out very quickly. The owner (at least I think he's the owner) figured out I was vegan and informed me that their baklava contains no animal products. It's made with rosewater and it is delicious.
(5)
Los R.
Best Mediterranean food! Everything we tried was wonderful. I love tabouleh, and theirs was great! Chicken is super flavorful and moist, hummus = great, gyro = great, and the service is wonderful. They make you feel right at home :) They just beat out our favorite Mediterranean place back in CA...We'll be back!

Tolis V.
Still trying to figure out how this place has a 4.5 stars rating! I mean have you guys ever tried authentic Greek or Arabic food?! The place is small and uncomfortable. The decor has nothing to do with the cuisine, and the background music is a bit random. Now let's go to the food quality, service, and price! They call their place "tzatzikis" which is the name of the Greek spread that normally accompanies a gyro wrap. They use the cheapest ingredients to make tzatziki, so it obviously tastes bad. I got the meat platter and a glass of iced tea and was charged $18.65!!! The platter included 3 pieces of processed gyro, 3 pieces of really bad cooked beef, 2 pieces of chicken (that was actually good), some salad, and half of the plate was covered with hummus. Now the hummus was spread as a thin layer on the plate. Let's be honest and start rating restaurants properly. This place does not deserve more than 2 stars.

I LOVE this place...the owner is so warm & kind and he literally serves the best (most creamy) hummus I have ever tasted!
(5)
Andrea K.
People seem to love this place and I truly adore holes in the wall that are located in strip malls. Unfortunately it was not a great experience for me. I ordered the chicken shwarma and it was really dry. The flavor was ok- a little odd- but just so dry. The hummus was terrific. The rice was good but there was way too much of it. Hubs had the gyro and enjoyed his. The fries weren't very crispy and didn't have much flavor. I want to believe this place does it better than we experienced but we probably won't be back.

Brian S.
I stopped in for a late lunch and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food (I had the lamb gyro lunch plate with baba ghanouj, salad, fries and tzatziki sauce) and the friendliness of the owner who was waiting tables that day. He was attentive without being underfoot (a rare and highly difficult skill to perfect) and made my experience enjoyable. The lamb and the baba ghanouj were the best parts of the meal and I feel safe exploring the more colorful parts of the menu on my next visit.

After searching southern Littleton to no avail for a bison burger that wouldn't break the bank, my wife, son and I decided to come to this little Mediterranean restaurant that I had read about on Yelp but never tried. My son and I really like the flavors of food from the eastern Med - we frequently go to Shawarma's further south on University (great place, by the way), to Falafel King when in Boulder visiting my older son, and to Garbanzo's when we're driving past and hungry. My wife, however, is generally not fond of this kind of food - she's nice enough to join us at Falafel King, but other than that would rather give this kind of food a miss. Tzatziki's is a little hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall - nothing special in decor on the inside or out. We sat down as a thunderstorm moved in, ordered our beverages, and waited for our meal to arrive. I ordered the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) for starters. These delectable little gems are served cold in some places and hot in others - the ones here are almost too hot to pick up when the plate arrives, and served with yogurt-cucumber sauce for dipping. I didn't ask, but my guess is they're made fresh in-house, as the flavors are a bit different and more prominent than you find at other local places. Our main course arrived, and I was quite impressed. I had the falafel plate, which came with 5 very large and properly cooked falafels. I don't like dried out falafels, and these were moist, and chewy, and had a bit more pronounced spices in them than is customary. The meal came with a garlic hummus that was creamy and delicious, rice, a tabbouli salad, and the required and ubiquitous pita bread. My wife had the Kallayah, cubed braised beef with parsley, onions and green pepper, served with rice, Fatouche salad, and the same scrumptious garlic hummus, She loved it, and said we can come back here again - a big accomplishment for someone who generally dislikes this kind of food. The piece de resistance was my son's meal, however - beautifully braised lamb shank served piping hot on a bed of rice, with a full plate of green salad on the side. It looked and smelled absolutely wonderful, and he said it tasted better than it looked. I've given Tzatziki's five stars because it is as good as it gets for Mediterranean food in Denver. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back often.

Me and my wife have been looking for a solid Mediterranean place since we moved out here to Denver, yelp gave us the confidence to give this place a shot. Truly a transcendent food experience. A nice small little restaurant size gives you confidence right away that this place is going to be quality, and not an On the Border or Chevy's kind of quality. The guy doing the serving and manning the hosting booth was named Kel I think, super funny energetic dude who adds a whole lot to the experience. My wife ordered a lamb pita sandwich and she liked it which was mind boggling because she hates lamb, these guys converted her. I was going to have the Greek salad but went for the falafel plate after looking at some of the yelp pics, one of the best falafels I've ever had, and the hummus was bomb.com , no doubt these guys have credentials you can only get in the holy land. Don't underestimate these beasts from the Middle East.

The food was good, but the service was excellent! Our waiter knew how to put a smile on each and every guest's face. He joked around with us in a pleasant manner that made us want to return, and we also overheard some of his conversations with another table, and a phone conversation over a take out order. He seems to just love his job, and is a natural when it comes to customer service! He was incredibly funny and had us laughing the whole time we were there. We will definitely return!

EAT HERE. It's absolutely my most favorite restaurant in Denver. The atmosphere is cozy and super friendly. The food is mind blowingly delicious. Even if it's not close to you, make the drive, your taste buds will thank you.

Ryan W.
Like some others, I've been driving by and ignoring this place since it opened, and that is unfortunate. The food is really quite exceptional. I am not a huge hummus fan, and don't eat much bread, but I couldn't stop dipping my pita pieces in there and getting more. I had the lamb shank which was exceptionally tender. I can't remember the name of my wife's dish, but the flavors were subtle but complex at the same time. I made sure to steal some of hers. Ask the owner to pair wine for you if you are a wine drinker. He loves doing it and does a good job. Not the prettiest, but definitely a fun place with great food.

I ordered the chicken shawarma, it was delicious!!!! The owner was super friendly and helped us a lot. Definetly coming back. The one thing that would make this place better would be fresh baked pita bread!!

Visiting from Arlington, VA and ate here on advice from relative. I had the "create-your-own lunch platter" and the food was absolutely amazing. I love Mediterranean food and love to eat it out wherever I am and am always doing a comparison. Tzatiki's food is tops and I will definitely eat here whenever I am in the Denver area. It is not a fancy restaurant sitting in a small strip mall next to Vitality Spa II and the decor is mediocre. But if you want great Mediterranean food, this is the place to go.
(5)
Ran T.
Tzatziki's, how do you make your hummus so creamy and your meat so juicy? I want the recipe! Short wait time for lunch takeout. What's not to love? Plus you can shop at the strip mall across the road and then eat some here!
(5)
Jared T.
We drive across town to get here, as much for the service as the food. Great little hole in the wall place where you're treated like family and served really solid Greek & Mediterranean food. I'd much rather go to places like this where you're treated warmly and appreciated than to some chain where you're a hassle to the minimum waged employees.

Kalani F.
Oh man. The falafel! The hummus! This hummus is beautiful- a perfect flavor and texture. I had the vegetarian platter and all I can say that what was wrong was that I wanted more falafel. Just two chunks, not enough. The salads were great too and the baba ghanouj delish. I am suprised that only 4 elites have reviewed this place. I am only giving it four stars only because it is my first time eating here and I also had take out, so I can't speak to the service. However, when I picked up my meal, the waiter was friendly and funny. I fear there will be a lot of falafel from Tzatziki's in my future.

Hand's down BEST hummus ever - creamy, dreamy, delicious. Met a friend for lunch here and since I was not expecting much decor-wise, was fine when, upon entering, realized it lived up to my mediocre standards. Then we saw the lunch special. $7.50 and you get a choice of a meat, side, salad, starch, sauce (chicken shwarma, hummus, rice, light salad, tzatziki). The value of the meal allowed me to overlook the fact I was sitting on tape holding the booth seat together. We had baklava, which is not my fave, but flaky and different (he uses a little rose and that is not my ideal food additive). The guy who I think was the owner was entertaining and attentive and was enough to bring me back, but the excellent food will keep me coming back.

Skeeba G.
I ordered the Vegetarian Combination, which was wonderful! The hummus was seriously the best I've ever had. It was creamy and had a great consistency. The falafel was crispy and flavorful, and the tahini and dolmas were awesome too! For dessert we had coconut cookies and baklava. The baklava was unlike any other I've had before. We were told it was vegan and made with rosewater. It was very sweet, and almost burst with flavor and juices when you bit into it. It was a lot softer than any other kind of baklava I've ever had, but still very good. The coconut cookies were buttery, melted in my mouth, and were absolutely to die for. Best of all was the customer service! Our waiter was very friendly and charming. Definitely will come back again.

The best Mediterranean food this side of the Atlantic. Generous portions and friendly staff. The chic shawarma, tzatziki, and hummus were amazing. Do Not pass this place up. Drove from Co Springs to go to new Trader Joe's and found this gem across the street. It is worth the drive alone.

Without doubt the BEST med cuisine in Denver, if not all of Colorado. Everything we ordered was fresh and fantastic. Do not confuse Tzatziki's with the new chain Taziki's. The food here is better and more authentic.

Tzatziki's was my first dining experience in Denver, and if it's any indication of the rest of the city, I'll be back again and again. The food was great, and our waiter was a wonderfully charming and friendly guy who didn't have any problem chatting his own food up. If you got it, flaunt it, right? The hummus at this place was by and far the best hummus I've ever had. Creamy, not too heavy, but plenty flavorful. I had a falafel plate, and while the falafel didn't have too much flavor inside, the texture of both the inside and outside made up for it -- not to mention, the portions were generous. The tabbouleh was fantastic, nice and tangy and bright and colorful. By and large, the fresh, warm, buttery, crumbly coconut cookie was the greatest thing about this meal. I would go back there again and again for the cookie and the hummus alone. On the other side, the pita could have used a little work.

Caroline C.
While Phoenician Kabob remains my #1 favorite place for Middle Eastern food in Denver, Tzatziki's is my go-to place when I'm craving a decent gyro, and don't want the hassle of driving to Colfax. Their new $7.50 lunch special is a pretty good deal: choose between lamb/chicken gyro/shawarma or falafel + hummus or baba g with pita + tabbouleh or fattoush + rice or fries + tahini sauce or tzatziki. The falafel is better value for money (four good-sized pieces versus a somewhat skimpy serving of gyro) but everything is fresh, and tastes great. Service is always really friendly and your food is brought out quickly. It's a shame this place never seems to be terribly busy - I'd hate to see them go out of business.

Wasn't really in the mood for Mediterranean food, but the Mrs. was really pushing for it on this visit. We contemplated Damascus Grill, but ended up here instead. The interior isn't much to look at as it doesn't appear to have had anything done to it since the early 90's - complete with holes in the seats covered with tape....classy; but it totally adds to the atmosphere. With that being said, the food and service were excellent! The wait staff was polite and very accommodating. The menu doesn't look like much and there aren't tons of options -- just traditional Mediterranean. I had the Beef Shawarma and the Mrs. had the Gyro plate. Our daughter, not to thrilled about the experience was opting for the Chicken Fingers (thumbs up to Tzatziki's for having fare that was geared toward kids). We encouraged her to try the Gyro, but having never had it she wasn't going for it. That all changed though when our waiter brought out a sample of Gyro meat for her to try and then she was sold. I love the fact that they brought a sample so she could make a choice! Portions -- they are MASSIVE! I had enough beef on my plate for two people easily. The beef was tender and flavorful with not an ounce of fat to be seen. I tried some of the Gyro and it was also excellent. Try the Falafel - they are awesome! I'm still very partial to Saj, but this is definitely one to add to the list of Mediterranean places to visit.

Had the daily lunch special and it was awesome (price-wise and delicious)! Cal is perhaps an owner. He was everything the day we were there: host, cook and server. He did a great job, is cute and very personable and funny. He sold us on his baklava. It was amazing! Too bad it's not closer to where I live. Next time I'm down that way, I'll definitely stop in.

Cass D.
As I'm discovering more about Greek food I decided to try this place because the Greek restaurant we have in Parker has really bad service. My husband had a chicken gyro and I had chicken kabobs. I think they were made with the same chicken, but I'm not sure. Anyways, everything was tasty and the pitas were soft. I really wanted to try the baklava but I didn't have room in my stomach. The hummus was nice and smooth. I tried the rice and had some fries; the fries are nothing out of the ordinary. The rice has a slightly sweet hint to it, which I wasn't expecting. It wasn't bad, but I'm not one for sweet flavor in my meals (unless it's dessert or breakfast). After it all, I must say that I do prefer the kabobs at the place closer to home as well as their fries more which is why I haven't given Tzatziki's a 5 star review. If this were my first experience with Greek however, I'm sure they would get 5 from me, the service was good and the food is solid.

The interior isn't much to look at as it doesn't appear to have had anything done to it since the early 90's - complete with holes in the seats covered with tape....classy; but it totally adds to the atmosphere. With that being said, the food and service were excellent! The wait staff was polite and very accommodating. The menu doesn't look like much and there aren't tons of options -- just traditional Mediterranean. I had the Beef Shawarma and the Mrs. had the Gyro plate. Our daughter, not to thrilled about the experience was opting for the Chicken Fingers (thumbs up to Tzatziki's for having fare that was geared toward kids). We encouraged her to try the Gyro, but having never had it she wasn't going for it. That all changed though when our waiter brought out a sample of Gyro meat for her to try and then she was sold. I love the fact that they brought a sample so she could make a choice! Portions -- they are MASSIVE! I had enough beef on my plate for two people easily. The beef was tender and flavorful with not an ounce of fat to be seen. I tried some of the Gyro and it was also excellent. Try the Falafel - they are awesome! I'm still very partial to Saj, but this is definitely one to add to the list of Mediterranean places to visit.

Had the daily lunch special and it was awesome (price-wise and delicious)! Cal is perhaps an owner. He was everything the day we were there: host, cook and server. He did a great job, is cute and very personable and funny. He sold us on his baklava. It was amazing! Too bad it's not closer to where I live. Next time I'm down that way, I'll definitely stop in.

As I'm discovering more about Greek food I decided to try this place because the Greek restaurant we have in Parker has really bad service. My husband had a chicken gyro and I had chicken kabobs. I think they were made with the same chicken, but I'm not sure. Anyways, everything was tasty and the pitas were soft. I really wanted to try the baklava but I didn't have room in my stomach. The hummus was nice and smooth. I tried the rice and had some fries; the fries are nothing out of the ordinary. The rice has a slightly sweet hint to it, which I wasn't expecting. It wasn't bad, but I'm not one for sweet flavor in my meals (unless it's dessert or breakfast). After it all, I must say that I do prefer the kabobs at the place closer to home as well as their fries more which is why I haven't given Tzatziki's a 5 star review. If this were my first experience with Greek however, I'm sure they would get 5 from me, the service was good and the food is solid.

This is a little gem in a tiny strip mall. I've lived in this area for years and never tried this place out, but glad I finally did! This place was super yummy. The falafel I had was perfect. Large, airy, and crispy. Don't pass it up. One of the best I have ever had! The hummus was also good! A thicker, traditional hummus that would make anyone who is a hummus lover happy. I wasn't too crazy about the tabbouleh. There was a lot a parsley in it. But, I can see why people would like it. I'll have to come back and try the plates because they look delicious!
(4)Brian V.
Great food, reasonable price, quaint restaurant, super personable host. My wife and I both enjoyed a quiet, late lunch on a Saturday - I went for the Meat Combination and enjoyed the chicken, beef, and gyro. My wife thought the hummus was the best she has ever had. Far away from our normal travels, but I could see us making a way to fit this little restaurant into another Saturday in Littleton.
(5)Mike F.
Very, very good. I had the meat combination plate and everything was delicious. The gyro meat was crispy, yet tender and savory. The chicken was juicy and tangy. The beef kabob was tender and rich. Combined withe the delicious hummus and tzatziki and I was in heaven. Friendly service.
(4)Cyndie C.
Food was delish! The services was excellent, great humor & entertainment to enjoy your meal. Love the neighborhood vibe, definitely coming back here.
(5)Amy Q.
At first glance, this little restaurant provokes doubt in new customers due to an obvious need of maintenance. However, all fear is erased by the personable host and the superb quality of the food. The host even helped my husband use pita the correct way, so it was a learning experience as well!
(4)Lyndsey W.
Best falafel! Best tzatziki sauce! Friendly and prompt service! Presentation of both dishes were appetizing to the eye! Cooked to perfection. If you want Mediterranean Cuisine, come here. Worth the drive.
(5)Amy T.
Hole in the wall location but great food and friendly staff. Eaten here twice, great both times.
(4)David B.
Had the mezze sampler (vegetarian player) at lunch yesterday. The tabbouleh was amazing, just what it should be but rarely is: a burst of fresh flavor, the parsley and the tangy dressing balancing perfectly. Hummus and baba ganoush were nice, the rice and stuffed grape leaves good as well. The falafel were the only disappointment: while freshly made and fried with a great crunchy exterior, the inside had no texture beyond being like mashed potatoes, and worse, little flavor of the beans or of spicing. That was a big flaw, but that excellent tabbouleh, and the very friendly personal service made up for a lot.
(4)Cindy G.
Had lunch here with a friend. Food was delicious but the baklava was rancid..I drew the owners attention to it and he absolutely lost it. I don't think I've ever been yelled that in front of a roomful of strangers like that before. It absolutely enraged him. Don't think I'll be back.

You come here and are treated like part of the family!! Good, fresh food, excellent, friendly service, healthy portions, and great value!!

Headline: Best hole in the wall Gyro place evah! Tzatziki's is small - like eight tables small, and located in a strip mall in Greenwood Village. It definitely qualifies as a dive. The staff are obviously first or second generation greeks or israelis and that makes for fantastic food. I got a gyro with fatouche (which is a salad with lettuce, tomato, parsley and cucumber), hummus and spanish rice. My wife got the sandwich version of the same. The sandwich version comes with fries. Let's start with the Gyro. The Gyro was among the best gyros I have ever eaten. The fatouche dressing was light, the the hummus had a drizzle of olive oil and a shake of paprika - very lightly flavored. The let downs were the rice and fries. Seriously - give them a skip. You will be disappointed. Bagged crinkle cut fries just don't do it for me. The pita that came with the hummus was cold - just ask them to heat it up. I decided to try their Baklava for dessert. The Baklava was less sweet than is normal in the US, but certainly more traditional. it was most excellent. In the end, this wasn't a place I'd seek out - it's a bit out of the way for me, but the service and food was top notch, and I will definitely be returning if I am in the area.

Wanted to go to the bistro a few doors down from here one day, but they've got the wackiest hours, so we decided to check this place out. We were not disappointed. The food was great, the service was good, and the prices were reasonable. Will go again.
(5)Annie M.
AMAZING!!!! Definitely will frequent here!!! Hummus is to die for. The beef was seasoned so well and cooked just the way I like it, juicy and tender. Dinner for 2 with dessert was $28. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys meditarrian food.
(5)Shira Y.
My favorite place for hummus, baba ganoush, gyros, , and falafel. Hole in the wall that overall does a very good job. well-priced with great lunch specials. Rice is not middle eastern style and I highly recommend passing on it. Fries are regular crinkle fries. One of the owners, Kal, is a trip, making the meal a dinner and show. He's wonderful. Note that there is limited seating, and that the decor is quite outdated, so this is not a place for ambience or a first date. It's very clean though.
(4)Carissa P.
You aren't here for ambiance, or to impress a first date you're here for fresh, authentic Greek food. So authentic that the owner is a 3rd generation Greek chef, he knows what he's doing. Their hummus will ruin you from eating it anywhere else because you can taste their good quality olive oil in it along with better quality garbanzos. Get the lentil soup, it's vegetarian and full of flavor. I'm also a fan of his tabouli and fattoush also drizzled the same yummy olive oil and made with fresh ingredients made that same day. Expect to pay around $10 a plate and don't be shy - the place is so small (8 or so tables) that we always end up chatting with other diners.
(4)Sho G.
Only been here once but everything we ordered was really delicious. We ordered baba ghanouj, a greek salad, and sheesh ta'ouk. The place is located in a little strip mall and is small but comfy and the service was fantastic. I intend on going back as it has been hit or miss with other Mediterranean places lately.
(5)Lacy S.
Tzatziki's food is awesome. It's one of the few restaurants within walking distance of my house where I can get vegan food that's not an iceberg lettuce salad. Their hummus is the best I've ever eaten. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are pretty gigantic. The staff is always really friendly and food always comes out very quickly. The owner (at least I think he's the owner) figured out I was vegan and informed me that their baklava contains no animal products. It's made with rosewater and it is delicious.
(5)Jared T.
We drive across town to get here, as much for the service as the food. Great little hole in the wall place where you're treated like family and served really solid Greek & Mediterranean food. I'd much rather go to places like this where you're treated warmly and appreciated than to some chain where you're a hassle to the minimum waged employees.
(5)Wendy L.
This is a good little place, we like that it is family owned and the head dude is a character! Good food, give it a shot!
(4)Kalani F.
Oh man. The falafel! The hummus! This hummus is beautiful- a perfect flavor and texture. I had the vegetarian platter and all I can say that what was wrong was that I wanted more falafel. Just two chunks, not enough. The salads were great too and the baba ghanouj delish. I am suprised that only 4 elites have reviewed this place. I am only giving it four stars only because it is my first time eating here and I also had take out, so I can't speak to the service. However, when I picked up my meal, the waiter was friendly and funny. I fear there will be a lot of falafel from Tzatziki's in my future.
(4)Max C.
Delicious Greek meats and treats. -1 star for the rice unfortunately, absolute disappointment. Overall, a pretty good place with nifty decor.
(4)Dana R.
Hand's down BEST hummus ever - creamy, dreamy, delicious. Met a friend for lunch here and since I was not expecting much decor-wise, was fine when, upon entering, realized it lived up to my mediocre standards. Then we saw the lunch special. $7.50 and you get a choice of a meat, side, salad, starch, sauce (chicken shwarma, hummus, rice, light salad, tzatziki). The value of the meal allowed me to overlook the fact I was sitting on tape holding the booth seat together. We had baklava, which is not my fave, but flaky and different (he uses a little rose and that is not my ideal food additive). The guy who I think was the owner was entertaining and attentive and was enough to bring me back, but the excellent food will keep me coming back.
(4)Skeeba G.
I ordered the Vegetarian Combination, which was wonderful! The hummus was seriously the best I've ever had. It was creamy and had a great consistency. The falafel was crispy and flavorful, and the tahini and dolmas were awesome too! For dessert we had coconut cookies and baklava. The baklava was unlike any other I've had before. We were told it was vegan and made with rosewater. It was very sweet, and almost burst with flavor and juices when you bit into it. It was a lot softer than any other kind of baklava I've ever had, but still very good. The coconut cookies were buttery, melted in my mouth, and were absolutely to die for. Best of all was the customer service! Our waiter was very friendly and charming. Definitely will come back again.
(4)Samuel W.
Excellent spot, great service, and very fresh food. Stopped on a business trip to Denver and had a great meal. The Lemon Chicken Soup is awesome and so is their Chicken Salad(not grilled chix) and their house dressing is great too. PS-please open up a spot in Cleveland soon!!!

Excellent Mediterranean food. Simple and what you'd expect to eat flavor wise--seasoned well and juicy meats. Had the meat combo and got to try kafta kabob, gyro meat, chicken and lamb with rice salad and hummus AND a side of pita. Service was great and we will definitely come back because I wanna try the lamb shank special on the weekend.
(5)K B.
Great quality food for the rght price from very friendly owner. Never had a bad meal. Highly recommended and much better than local places which serve gyro. Definitely support this local business!
(5)Brian S.
I stopped in for a late lunch and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food (I had the lamb gyro lunch plate with baba ghanouj, salad, fries and tzatziki sauce) and the friendliness of the owner who was waiting tables that day. He was attentive without being underfoot (a rare and highly difficult skill to perfect) and made my experience enjoyable. The lamb and the baba ghanouj were the best parts of the meal and I feel safe exploring the more colorful parts of the menu on my next visit.
(4)Samantha E.
I drove by Tzatziki's without stopping for almost two years, and that was a mistake, because this place is great! I've stopped once for takeout and dined there once, and had a great experience both times. The falafel plate is my favorite so far-- it comes with rice, delicious hummus, Greek salad, pita, and tzatziki. My husband likes the gyro meat platter (same side dishes). The owner is helpful and super friendly. He obviously has some very regular customers, and I can see why. Plus, entrees are under $12 for a very generous portion of food, so it's economical as well as delicious. I brought my leftovers to work today, and I can't wait for lunchtime. Definitely recommended if you're in the area!
(4)Lorena L.
Great food, great wine, great prices, & phenomenal service :) locally owned and superb tzatziki,'gyros & hummus :) so much food I couldn't eat it all and have wonderful leftovers for lunch! Our server was funny, attentive, personable & makes us wanna come bak. My husband got the meat combo--very good chicken!
(5)Morgan P.
Absolutely love this place. You are always welcomed by a member of the family and the food is amazing. Everything is very fresh and you always leave happy and satisfied. I love coming here as it's hard to eat at chains where quality is compromised for speed and to get as much money as possible here you get exceptional food, service, and can truly tell that their food isn't processed and just warmed up like other places. The owner is super friendly and always makes sure to treat you like a part of the family. So glad I found this place I have been coming here for years and will continue for many to come.
(5)Sally S.
We have been here multiple times and we are never disappointed. Delicious food, very friendly staff! We LOVE this place!
(5)Andrea K.
People seem to love this place and I truly adore holes in the wall that are located in strip malls. Unfortunately it was not a great experience for me. I ordered the chicken shwarma and it was really dry. The flavor was ok- a little odd- but just so dry. The hummus was terrific. The rice was good but there was way too much of it. Hubs had the gyro and enjoyed his. The fries weren't very crispy and didn't have much flavor. I want to believe this place does it better than we experienced but we probably won't be back.
(2)Angela L.
The best Mediterranean food this side of the Atlantic. Generous portions and friendly staff. The chic shawarma, tzatziki, and hummus were amazing. Do Not pass this place up. Drove from Co Springs to go to new Trader Joe's and found this gem across the street. It is worth the drive alone.
(5)Ken G.
Without doubt the BEST med cuisine in Denver, if not all of Colorado. Everything we ordered was fresh and fantastic. Do not confuse Tzatziki's with the new chain Taziki's. The food here is better and more authentic.
(5)LaShawn R.
Stopped in here after having my car serviced. It's a little place tucked into a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from trying the food. I ordered the meat combo plate so I could sample a few things, and it was good. It was a lot of food and I couldn't finish it, so that's always good. The platter included gyro meat along with beef, kefta, and chicken kabobs. It also had some hummus, rice and fatouche. It comes with a little serving of their name sake, the Tzatziki sauce. I ordered one falafel as an afterthough, as well, and I'm so very glad I did. The combo platter was good, but the falafel was the best part of the meal. The only downer about the meal was the pita-it was just the run of the mill store bought stuff that added nothing. All in all, the place is definitely worth a try. The people working there seemed to be friendly, as well. I'd frequent the place if it was closer to me, but the next time I take my car in for some routine servicing, I may have to give it another shot!
(4)Susanna G.
My husband and I got take out for our first time eating here and we were amazed. We've gone to fine Greek restaurants in New York that compare to this. Next time we will dine in and relax.

Still trying to figure out how this place has a 4.5 stars rating! I mean have you guys ever tried authentic Greek or Arabic food?! The place is small and uncomfortable. The decor has nothing to do with the cuisine, and the background music is a bit random. Now let's go to the food quality, service, and price! They call their place "tzatzikis" which is the name of the Greek spread that normally accompanies a gyro wrap. They use the cheapest ingredients to make tzatziki, so it obviously tastes bad. I got the meat platter and a glass of iced tea and was charged $18.65!!! The platter included 3 pieces of processed gyro, 3 pieces of really bad cooked beef, 2 pieces of chicken (that was actually good), some salad, and half of the plate was covered with hummus. Now the hummus was spread as a thin layer on the plate. Let's be honest and start rating restaurants properly. This place does not deserve more than 2 stars.
(2)Amy P.
I LOVE this place...the owner is so warm & kind and he literally serves the best (most creamy) hummus I have ever tasted!
(5)Keith W.
After searching southern Littleton to no avail for a bison burger that wouldn't break the bank, my wife, son and I decided to come to this little Mediterranean restaurant that I had read about on Yelp but never tried. My son and I really like the flavors of food from the eastern Med - we frequently go to Shawarma's further south on University (great place, by the way), to Falafel King when in Boulder visiting my older son, and to Garbanzo's when we're driving past and hungry. My wife, however, is generally not fond of this kind of food - she's nice enough to join us at Falafel King, but other than that would rather give this kind of food a miss. Tzatziki's is a little hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall - nothing special in decor on the inside or out. We sat down as a thunderstorm moved in, ordered our beverages, and waited for our meal to arrive. I ordered the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) for starters. These delectable little gems are served cold in some places and hot in others - the ones here are almost too hot to pick up when the plate arrives, and served with yogurt-cucumber sauce for dipping. I didn't ask, but my guess is they're made fresh in-house, as the flavors are a bit different and more prominent than you find at other local places. Our main course arrived, and I was quite impressed. I had the falafel plate, which came with 5 very large and properly cooked falafels. I don't like dried out falafels, and these were moist, and chewy, and had a bit more pronounced spices in them than is customary. The meal came with a garlic hummus that was creamy and delicious, rice, a tabbouli salad, and the required and ubiquitous pita bread. My wife had the Kallayah, cubed braised beef with parsley, onions and green pepper, served with rice, Fatouche salad, and the same scrumptious garlic hummus, She loved it, and said we can come back here again - a big accomplishment for someone who generally dislikes this kind of food. The piece de resistance was my son's meal, however - beautifully braised lamb shank served piping hot on a bed of rice, with a full plate of green salad on the side. It looked and smelled absolutely wonderful, and he said it tasted better than it looked. I've given Tzatziki's five stars because it is as good as it gets for Mediterranean food in Denver. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back often.
(5)Ec C.
Visiting from Arlington, VA and ate here on advice from relative. I had the "create-your-own lunch platter" and the food was absolutely amazing. I love Mediterranean food and love to eat it out wherever I am and am always doing a comparison. Tzatiki's food is tops and I will definitely eat here whenever I am in the Denver area. It is not a fancy restaurant sitting in a small strip mall next to Vitality Spa II and the decor is mediocre. But if you want great Mediterranean food, this is the place to go.
(5)Ran T.
Tzatziki's, how do you make your hummus so creamy and your meat so juicy? I want the recipe! Short wait time for lunch takeout. What's not to love? Plus you can shop at the strip mall across the road and then eat some here!
(5)Adam B.
Me and my wife have been looking for a solid Mediterranean place since we moved out here to Denver, yelp gave us the confidence to give this place a shot. Truly a transcendent food experience. A nice small little restaurant size gives you confidence right away that this place is going to be quality, and not an On the Border or Chevy's kind of quality. The guy doing the serving and manning the hosting booth was named Kel I think, super funny energetic dude who adds a whole lot to the experience. My wife ordered a lamb pita sandwich and she liked it which was mind boggling because she hates lamb, these guys converted her. I was going to have the Greek salad but went for the falafel plate after looking at some of the yelp pics, one of the best falafels I've ever had, and the hummus was bomb.com , no doubt these guys have credentials you can only get in the holy land. Don't underestimate these beasts from the Middle East.
(5)Natalie H.
Love this place! The owner is so fun and personable and cares so much about each dish. The hummus is so creamy and tasty. My favorite meal is the gyro sandwhich but they have many other fantastic dishes with such great flavors.
(5)Tim B.
Great surprise. I had never heard of this place, but was craving shwarma and found this place thru the app. The food was outstanding. Server was friendly and had a good sense of humor. Hummus and falafel were both excellent. Definitely recommend.
(5)Heidi R.
The food was good, but the service was excellent! Our waiter knew how to put a smile on each and every guest's face. He joked around with us in a pleasant manner that made us want to return, and we also overheard some of his conversations with another table, and a phone conversation over a take out order. He seems to just love his job, and is a natural when it comes to customer service! He was incredibly funny and had us laughing the whole time we were there. We will definitely return!
(5)Rebecca H.
EAT HERE. It's absolutely my most favorite restaurant in Denver. The atmosphere is cozy and super friendly. The food is mind blowingly delicious. Even if it's not close to you, make the drive, your taste buds will thank you.
(5)Ryan W.
Like some others, I've been driving by and ignoring this place since it opened, and that is unfortunate. The food is really quite exceptional. I am not a huge hummus fan, and don't eat much bread, but I couldn't stop dipping my pita pieces in there and getting more. I had the lamb shank which was exceptionally tender. I can't remember the name of my wife's dish, but the flavors were subtle but complex at the same time. I made sure to steal some of hers. Ask the owner to pair wine for you if you are a wine drinker. He loves doing it and does a good job. Not the prettiest, but definitely a fun place with great food.
(5)Karen V.
I ordered the chicken shawarma, it was delicious!!!! The owner was super friendly and helped us a lot. Definetly coming back. The one thing that would make this place better would be fresh baked pita bread!!
(4)M R.
Tzatziki's was my first dining experience in Denver, and if it's any indication of the rest of the city, I'll be back again and again. The food was great, and our waiter was a wonderfully charming and friendly guy who didn't have any problem chatting his own food up. If you got it, flaunt it, right? The hummus at this place was by and far the best hummus I've ever had. Creamy, not too heavy, but plenty flavorful. I had a falafel plate, and while the falafel didn't have too much flavor inside, the texture of both the inside and outside made up for it -- not to mention, the portions were generous. The tabbouleh was fantastic, nice and tangy and bright and colorful. By and large, the fresh, warm, buttery, crumbly coconut cookie was the greatest thing about this meal. I would go back there again and again for the cookie and the hummus alone. On the other side, the pita could have used a little work.
(4)Caroline C.
While Phoenician Kabob remains my #1 favorite place for Middle Eastern food in Denver, Tzatziki's is my go-to place when I'm craving a decent gyro, and don't want the hassle of driving to Colfax. Their new $7.50 lunch special is a pretty good deal: choose between lamb/chicken gyro/shawarma or falafel + hummus or baba g with pita + tabbouleh or fattoush + rice or fries + tahini sauce or tzatziki. The falafel is better value for money (four good-sized pieces versus a somewhat skimpy serving of gyro) but everything is fresh, and tastes great. Service is always really friendly and your food is brought out quickly. It's a shame this place never seems to be terribly busy - I'd hate to see them go out of business.

WAY over-sauced Gyro sandwich. Otherwise, fresh and filling. Good fries, too!

Their hummus will ruin you from eating it anywhere else because you can taste their good quality olive oil in it along with better quality garbanzos. Get the lentil soup, it's vegetarian and full of flavor. I'm also a fan of his tabouli and fattoush also drizzled the same yummy olive oil and made with fresh ingredients made that same day. Expect to pay around $10 a plate and don't be shy - the place is so small (8 or so tables) that we always end up chatting with other diners.

I'm not sure why Tzatziki's is never very busy because the food is quite good and the prices are reasonable. I've eaten here twice and got a take-out order on one occasion, and I liked everything they served. I've have tried the Chicken Shawarma and Gyro sandwich on pita on loved them both. The French fries that came with the Gyro were very hot (temperature-wise) too - not sitting under a heat lamp. One night they had a lamb shank special which cost a little more, but was worth it. The meat was tender, lightly spicy, and hot. The atmosphere may be tuning away some potential customers. The tables are comfortable but a bit old looking. Also, you can hear every word coming from the kitchen and one night we overheard an argument going on. It made us all a bit uncomfortable. But the waiters have always been friendly and helpful. I recommend Tzatziki's without hesitation if you are out with friends or a casual date. The food is quite good and most meals are in the $9-$12 range for dinner. It's on the west side of University just south of Orchard. There's plenty of parking out back too.

Best lamb shank EVER. Great service...good price....fun environment!!
(5)Jenny T.
Great prices, delicious food. The best gyros I've eaten in the USA. If I lived in Denver Tzatziki's would be my new favorite place.
(5)Rob C.
Freshest Mediterranean food in Denver that I've found. Small place, perfect for lunch. Small staff, maybe family? Bright and cheerful waiter, great sense of humor but not over the top or always in your face. All the favors on your plate are well balanced. I take people here for lunch all the time and will keep coming back. It's is the only restaurant where my finished plate usually looks as clean as a plate it of the dishwasher...not an easy task with hummus ;-)
(5)Heather D.
The food was very delicious. I had the beef/lamb gyro and my boyfriend had the lamb shank. The gentlemen running the place were very friendly. We'll be back. Coconut cookies were great!
(4)Andrea S.
This is a wonderful little place. Great service, great food, great prices. The beef and lamb gyros is excellent and served with a wonderful cucumber dressing on the side. I have never had better hummus (served with pita) and fatouche. Weekdays the lunch special makes good prices great. Service is excellent.
(4)D M.
Went for lunch, wife and I were treated very well by attentive, courteous staff. The food was great! Service was great!
(5)nathan m.
The best I've had in a long time! Very friendly service! I got the meat combo, the shwarma (sp?) was cooked perfectly and the gyros were awesome! Its too bad we were in a hurry and had to scarf it down. I don't make it down that way very often but I might start finding more reasons to do so.
(5)LaShawn R.
Stopped in here after having my car serviced. It's a little place tucked into a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from trying the food. I ordered the meat combo plate so I could sample a few things, and it was good. It was a lot of food and I couldn't finish it, so that's always good. The platter included gyro meat along with beef, kefta, and chicken kabobs. It also had some hummus, rice and fatouche. It comes with a little serving of their name sake, the Tzatziki sauce. I ordered one falafel as an afterthough, as well, and I'm so very glad I did. The combo platter was good, but the falafel was the best part of the meal. The only downer about the meal was the pita-it was just the run of the mill store bought stuff that added nothing. All in all, the place is definitely worth a try. The people working there seemed to be friendly, as well. I'd frequent the place if it was closer to me, but the next time I take my car in for some routine servicing, I may have to give it another shot!
(4)Susanna G.
My husband and I got take out for our first time eating here and we were amazed. We've gone to fine Greek restaurants in New York that compare to this. Next time we will dine in and relax.
(5)Samuel W.
Excellent spot, great service, and very fresh food. Stopped on a business trip to Denver and had a great meal. The Lemon Chicken Soup is awesome and so is their Chicken Salad(not grilled chix) and their house dressing is great too. PS-please open up a spot in Cleveland soon!!!
(5)J L.
Excellent Mediterranean food. Simple and what you'd expect to eat flavor wise--seasoned well and juicy meats. Had the meat combo and got to try kafta kabob, gyro meat, chicken and lamb with rice salad and hummus AND a side of pita. Service was great and we will definitely come back because I wanna try the lamb shank special on the weekend.
(5)K B.
Great quality food for the rght price from very friendly owner. Never had a bad meal. Highly recommended and much better than local places which serve gyro. Definitely support this local business!
(5)Samantha E.
I drove by Tzatziki's without stopping for almost two years, and that was a mistake, because this place is great! I've stopped once for takeout and dined there once, and had a great experience both times. The falafel plate is my favorite so far-- it comes with rice, delicious hummus, Greek salad, pita, and tzatziki. My husband likes the gyro meat platter (same side dishes). The owner is helpful and super friendly. He obviously has some very regular customers, and I can see why. Plus, entrees are under $12 for a very generous portion of food, so it's economical as well as delicious. I brought my leftovers to work today, and I can't wait for lunchtime. Definitely recommended if you're in the area!
(4)Lorena L.
Great food, great wine, great prices, & phenomenal service :) locally owned and superb tzatziki,'gyros & hummus :) so much food I couldn't eat it all and have wonderful leftovers for lunch! Our server was funny, attentive, personable & makes us wanna come bak. My husband got the meat combo--very good chicken!
(5)Morgan P.
Absolutely love this place. You are always welcomed by a member of the family and the food is amazing. Everything is very fresh and you always leave happy and satisfied. I love coming here as it's hard to eat at chains where quality is compromised for speed and to get as much money as possible here you get exceptional food, service, and can truly tell that their food isn't processed and just warmed up like other places. The owner is super friendly and always makes sure to treat you like a part of the family. So glad I found this place I have been coming here for years and will continue for many to come.
(5)Sally S.
We have been here multiple times and we are never disappointed. Delicious food, very friendly staff! We LOVE this place!
(5)Derek F.
Oh yeah! Now those are some good Gyros! Yanni's needs to take a lesson from Tzatziki's. All the food I've eaten here has been delicious and very fresh. The owner and wait staff are very friendly and attentive. It's a small place but so far I've always gotten a table. I doubt that once word gets out about this place a table will be so easy to get. Don't be fooled if there aren't too many other people. Just sit down and have yourself an excellent meal.
(4)Sho G.
Only been here once but everything we ordered was really delicious. We ordered baba ghanouj, a greek salad, and sheesh ta'ouk. The place is located in a little strip mall and is small but comfy and the service was fantastic. I intend on going back as it has been hit or miss with other Mediterranean places lately.
(5)Lacy S.
Tzatziki's food is awesome. It's one of the few restaurants within walking distance of my house where I can get vegan food that's not an iceberg lettuce salad. Their hummus is the best I've ever eaten. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are pretty gigantic. The staff is always really friendly and food always comes out very quickly. The owner (at least I think he's the owner) figured out I was vegan and informed me that their baklava contains no animal products. It's made with rosewater and it is delicious.
(5)Los R.
Best Mediterranean food! Everything we tried was wonderful. I love tabouleh, and theirs was great! Chicken is super flavorful and moist, hummus = great, gyro = great, and the service is wonderful. They make you feel right at home :) They just beat out our favorite Mediterranean place back in CA...We'll be back!
(5)Tolis V.
Still trying to figure out how this place has a 4.5 stars rating! I mean have you guys ever tried authentic Greek or Arabic food?! The place is small and uncomfortable. The decor has nothing to do with the cuisine, and the background music is a bit random. Now let's go to the food quality, service, and price! They call their place "tzatzikis" which is the name of the Greek spread that normally accompanies a gyro wrap. They use the cheapest ingredients to make tzatziki, so it obviously tastes bad. I got the meat platter and a glass of iced tea and was charged $18.65!!! The platter included 3 pieces of processed gyro, 3 pieces of really bad cooked beef, 2 pieces of chicken (that was actually good), some salad, and half of the plate was covered with hummus. Now the hummus was spread as a thin layer on the plate. Let's be honest and start rating restaurants properly. This place does not deserve more than 2 stars.
(2)Amy P.
I LOVE this place...the owner is so warm & kind and he literally serves the best (most creamy) hummus I have ever tasted!
(5)Andrea K.
People seem to love this place and I truly adore holes in the wall that are located in strip malls. Unfortunately it was not a great experience for me. I ordered the chicken shwarma and it was really dry. The flavor was ok- a little odd- but just so dry. The hummus was terrific. The rice was good but there was way too much of it. Hubs had the gyro and enjoyed his. The fries weren't very crispy and didn't have much flavor. I want to believe this place does it better than we experienced but we probably won't be back.
(2)Brian S.
I stopped in for a late lunch and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food (I had the lamb gyro lunch plate with baba ghanouj, salad, fries and tzatziki sauce) and the friendliness of the owner who was waiting tables that day. He was attentive without being underfoot (a rare and highly difficult skill to perfect) and made my experience enjoyable. The lamb and the baba ghanouj were the best parts of the meal and I feel safe exploring the more colorful parts of the menu on my next visit.

After searching southern Littleton to no avail for a bison burger that wouldn't break the bank, my wife, son and I decided to come to this little Mediterranean restaurant that I had read about on Yelp but never tried. My son and I really like the flavors of food from the eastern Med - we frequently go to Shawarma's further south on University (great place, by the way), to Falafel King when in Boulder visiting my older son, and to Garbanzo's when we're driving past and hungry. My wife, however, is generally not fond of this kind of food - she's nice enough to join us at Falafel King, but other than that would rather give this kind of food a miss. Tzatziki's is a little hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall - nothing special in decor on the inside or out. We sat down as a thunderstorm moved in, ordered our beverages, and waited for our meal to arrive. I ordered the dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) for starters. These delectable little gems are served cold in some places and hot in others - the ones here are almost too hot to pick up when the plate arrives, and served with yogurt-cucumber sauce for dipping. I didn't ask, but my guess is they're made fresh in-house, as the flavors are a bit different and more prominent than you find at other local places. Our main course arrived, and I was quite impressed. I had the falafel plate, which came with 5 very large and properly cooked falafels. I don't like dried out falafels, and these were moist, and chewy, and had a bit more pronounced spices in them than is customary. The meal came with a garlic hummus that was creamy and delicious, rice, a tabbouli salad, and the required and ubiquitous pita bread. My wife had the Kallayah, cubed braised beef with parsley, onions and green pepper, served with rice, Fatouche salad, and the same scrumptious garlic hummus, She loved it, and said we can come back here again - a big accomplishment for someone who generally dislikes this kind of food. The piece de resistance was my son's meal, however - beautifully braised lamb shank served piping hot on a bed of rice, with a full plate of green salad on the side. It looked and smelled absolutely wonderful, and he said it tasted better than it looked. I've given Tzatziki's five stars because it is as good as it gets for Mediterranean food in Denver. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back often.
(5)Adam B.
Me and my wife have been looking for a solid Mediterranean place since we moved out here to Denver, yelp gave us the confidence to give this place a shot. Truly a transcendent food experience. A nice small little restaurant size gives you confidence right away that this place is going to be quality, and not an On the Border or Chevy's kind of quality. The guy doing the serving and manning the hosting booth was named Kel I think, super funny energetic dude who adds a whole lot to the experience. My wife ordered a lamb pita sandwich and she liked it which was mind boggling because she hates lamb, these guys converted her. I was going to have the Greek salad but went for the falafel plate after looking at some of the yelp pics, one of the best falafels I've ever had, and the hummus was bomb.com , no doubt these guys have credentials you can only get in the holy land. Don't underestimate these beasts from the Middle East.
(5)Natalie H.
Love this place! The owner is so fun and personable and cares so much about each dish. The hummus is so creamy and tasty. My favorite meal is the gyro sandwhich but they have many other fantastic dishes with such great flavors.
(5)Tim B.
Great surprise. I had never heard of this place, but was craving shwarma and found this place thru the app. The food was outstanding. Server was friendly and had a good sense of humor. Hummus and falafel were both excellent. Definitely recommend.
(5)Heidi R.
The food was good, but the service was excellent! Our waiter knew how to put a smile on each and every guest's face. He joked around with us in a pleasant manner that made us want to return, and we also overheard some of his conversations with another table, and a phone conversation over a take out order. He seems to just love his job, and is a natural when it comes to customer service! He was incredibly funny and had us laughing the whole time we were there. We will definitely return!
(5)Rebecca H.
EAT HERE. It's absolutely my most favorite restaurant in Denver. The atmosphere is cozy and super friendly. The food is mind blowingly delicious. Even if it's not close to you, make the drive, your taste buds will thank you.
(5)Ryan W.
Like some others, I've been driving by and ignoring this place since it opened, and that is unfortunate. The food is really quite exceptional. I am not a huge hummus fan, and don't eat much bread, but I couldn't stop dipping my pita pieces in there and getting more. I had the lamb shank which was exceptionally tender. I can't remember the name of my wife's dish, but the flavors were subtle but complex at the same time. I made sure to steal some of hers. Ask the owner to pair wine for you if you are a wine drinker. He loves doing it and does a good job. Not the prettiest, but definitely a fun place with great food.
(5)Karen V.
I ordered the chicken shawarma, it was delicious!!!! The owner was super friendly and helped us a lot. Definetly coming back. The one thing that would make this place better would be fresh baked pita bread!!
(4)Ec C.
Visiting from Arlington, VA and ate here on advice from relative. I had the "create-your-own lunch platter" and the food was absolutely amazing. I love Mediterranean food and love to eat it out wherever I am and am always doing a comparison. Tzatiki's food is tops and I will definitely eat here whenever I am in the Denver area. It is not a fancy restaurant sitting in a small strip mall next to Vitality Spa II and the decor is mediocre. But if you want great Mediterranean food, this is the place to go.
(5)Ran T.
Tzatziki's, how do you make your hummus so creamy and your meat so juicy? I want the recipe! Short wait time for lunch takeout. What's not to love? Plus you can shop at the strip mall across the road and then eat some here!
(5)Jared T.
We drive across town to get here, as much for the service as the food. Great little hole in the wall place where you're treated like family and served really solid Greek & Mediterranean food. I'd much rather go to places like this where you're treated warmly and appreciated than to some chain where you're a hassle to the minimum waged employees.
(5)Wendy L.
This is a good little place, we like that it is family owned and the head dude is a character! Good food, give it a shot!
(4)Kalani F.
Oh man. The falafel! The hummus! This hummus is beautiful- a perfect flavor and texture. I had the vegetarian platter and all I can say that what was wrong was that I wanted more falafel. Just two chunks, not enough. The salads were great too and the baba ghanouj delish. I am suprised that only 4 elites have reviewed this place. I am only giving it four stars only because it is my first time eating here and I also had take out, so I can't speak to the service. However, when I picked up my meal, the waiter was friendly and funny. I fear there will be a lot of falafel from Tzatziki's in my future.
(4)Max C.
Delicious Greek meats and treats. -1 star for the rice unfortunately, absolute disappointment. Overall, a pretty good place with nifty decor.
(4)Dana R.
Hand's down BEST hummus ever - creamy, dreamy, delicious. Met a friend for lunch here and since I was not expecting much decor-wise, was fine when, upon entering, realized it lived up to my mediocre standards. Then we saw the lunch special. $7.50 and you get a choice of a meat, side, salad, starch, sauce (chicken shwarma, hummus, rice, light salad, tzatziki). The value of the meal allowed me to overlook the fact I was sitting on tape holding the booth seat together. We had baklava, which is not my fave, but flaky and different (he uses a little rose and that is not my ideal food additive). The guy who I think was the owner was entertaining and attentive and was enough to bring me back, but the excellent food will keep me coming back.
(4)Skeeba G.
I ordered the Vegetarian Combination, which was wonderful! The hummus was seriously the best I've ever had. It was creamy and had a great consistency. The falafel was crispy and flavorful, and the tahini and dolmas were awesome too! For dessert we had coconut cookies and baklava. The baklava was unlike any other I've had before. We were told it was vegan and made with rosewater. It was very sweet, and almost burst with flavor and juices when you bit into it. It was a lot softer than any other kind of baklava I've ever had, but still very good. The coconut cookies were buttery, melted in my mouth, and were absolutely to die for. Best of all was the customer service! Our waiter was very friendly and charming. Definitely will come back again.
(4)Angela L.
The best Mediterranean food this side of the Atlantic. Generous portions and friendly staff. The chic shawarma, tzatziki, and hummus were amazing. Do Not pass this place up. Drove from Co Springs to go to new Trader Joe's and found this gem across the street. It is worth the drive alone.
(5)Ken G.
Without doubt the BEST med cuisine in Denver, if not all of Colorado. Everything we ordered was fresh and fantastic. Do not confuse Tzatziki's with the new chain Taziki's. The food here is better and more authentic.
(5)M R.
Tzatziki's was my first dining experience in Denver, and if it's any indication of the rest of the city, I'll be back again and again. The food was great, and our waiter was a wonderfully charming and friendly guy who didn't have any problem chatting his own food up. If you got it, flaunt it, right? The hummus at this place was by and far the best hummus I've ever had. Creamy, not too heavy, but plenty flavorful. I had a falafel plate, and while the falafel didn't have too much flavor inside, the texture of both the inside and outside made up for it -- not to mention, the portions were generous. The tabbouleh was fantastic, nice and tangy and bright and colorful. By and large, the fresh, warm, buttery, crumbly coconut cookie was the greatest thing about this meal. I would go back there again and again for the cookie and the hummus alone. On the other side, the pita could have used a little work.
(4)Caroline C.
While Phoenician Kabob remains my #1 favorite place for Middle Eastern food in Denver, Tzatziki's is my go-to place when I'm craving a decent gyro, and don't want the hassle of driving to Colfax. Their new $7.50 lunch special is a pretty good deal: choose between lamb/chicken gyro/shawarma or falafel + hummus or baba g with pita + tabbouleh or fattoush + rice or fries + tahini sauce or tzatziki. The falafel is better value for money (four good-sized pieces versus a somewhat skimpy serving of gyro) but everything is fresh, and tastes great. Service is always really friendly and your food is brought out quickly. It's a shame this place never seems to be terribly busy - I'd hate to see them go out of business.
(4)Kris K.
WAY over-sauced Gyro sandwich. Otherwise, fresh and filling. Good fries, too!
(3)Jack H.
One of my favorite restaurants. The food is always amazing and is fantastically consistant. Top to bottom delicious menu and a decently priced option for lunch or dinner.
(5)Chris W.
Wasn't really in the mood for Mediterranean food, but the Mrs. was really pushing for it on this visit. We contemplated Damascus Grill, but ended up here instead. The interior isn't much to look at as it doesn't appear to have had anything done to it since the early 90's - complete with holes in the seats covered with tape....classy; but it totally adds to the atmosphere. With that being said, the food and service were excellent! The wait staff was polite and very accommodating. The menu doesn't look like much and there aren't tons of options -- just traditional Mediterranean. I had the Beef Shawarma and the Mrs. had the Gyro plate. Our daughter, not to thrilled about the experience was opting for the Chicken Fingers (thumbs up to Tzatziki's for having fare that was geared toward kids). We encouraged her to try the Gyro, but having never had it she wasn't going for it. That all changed though when our waiter brought out a sample of Gyro meat for her to try and then she was sold. I love the fact that they brought a sample so she could make a choice! Portions -- they are MASSIVE! I had enough beef on my plate for two people easily. The beef was tender and flavorful with not an ounce of fat to be seen. I tried some of the Gyro and it was also excellent. Try the Falafel - they are awesome! I'm still very partial to Saj, but this is definitely one to add to the list of Mediterranean places to visit.
(4)Mo Z.
Had the daily lunch special and it was awesome (price-wise and delicious)! Cal is perhaps an owner. He was everything the day we were there: host, cook and server. He did a great job, is cute and very personable and funny. He sold us on his baklava. It was amazing! Too bad it's not closer to where I live. Next time I'm down that way, I'll definitely stop in.
(5)Cass D.
As I'm discovering more about Greek food I decided to try this place because the Greek restaurant we have in Parker has really bad service. My husband had a chicken gyro and I had chicken kabobs. I think they were made with the same chicken, but I'm not sure. Anyways, everything was tasty and the pitas were soft. I really wanted to try the baklava but I didn't have room in my stomach. The hummus was nice and smooth. I tried the rice and had some fries; the fries are nothing out of the ordinary. The rice has a slightly sweet hint to it, which I wasn't expecting. It wasn't bad, but I'm not one for sweet flavor in my meals (unless it's dessert or breakfast). After it all, I must say that I do prefer the kabobs at the place closer to home as well as their fries more which is why I haven't given Tzatziki's a 5 star review. If this were my first experience with Greek however, I'm sure they would get 5 from me, the service was good and the food is solid.
