Shahristan Kabob and Gyro — Restaurant in Colorado

2/24/24

I stopped in today and the gentleman preparing food were cooking chicken kabobs. They looked so delicious that I ordered one. It came with Sumac spice that I sprinkled on the chicken. It was incredibly delicious - probably the best tasting chicken I have ever eaten. I usually get their Gyros Plate - but I think I have discovered a new favorite food dish today at this little "hole in the wall" restaurant. Lol I found this place by accident. I was on an errand in commerce city, and needed a restroom break. I pulled into this gas station and asked to use the restroom. I told the cashier I would buy something after using the restroom. He generously said, "That is not necessary." The convience store smelled incredible - even my son could smell the food on the plastic bag they put my chips and soda in after I purchased them. I sought them out a week later. There is a little restaurant in the side of the store that sells Greek food. It is absolutely nothing fancy - but all the employees are very gracious, kind, and respectful. The food is priced very reasonable - and is AMAZING! I had the Gyro plate and it was around $11 or so. The portion was generous - it made two meals for me. There are two young men who do all the cooking. Gyro meat had excellent flavor. The vegetables were very fresh. The rice was excellent. It is definitely a hidden gem! My son and his girlfriend have gone here and had a similar experience. One thing is - it is a very small set up. They had a sign posted asking people to be patient during their lunch rush which is 11 am to 2 pm. You have got to try it. Seating is limited - with maybe five to seven stools at the bar where people sit to eat. The food I took home kept very well, and was very tasty as leftovers. Thank you guys. I will definitely stop in when I am in your...

Hdden Gem Alert: Incredible Shawarma Inside a Convenience Store!

I have to admit—I was skeptical at first. A shawarma restaurant inside a convenience store, with mixed reviews? I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after trying their Chicken Shawarma Plate and Beef kabob Plate, I can confidently say this place blew my mind!

The beef was incredibly juicy, moist, and generously portioned. Both came with yellow rice, crispy fries, and fresh tomato and lettuce chops, making for a hearty meal.Each was around $12.99 . In Colorado, Mediterranean food can be pricey with small portions, but this spot gives you tons of food for the price—definitely a great value! Note: If you need pita bread and hummus, you must order it as a side. Not included with the plate.

I couldn't find any tables or chairs inside(not sure). I ordered online beforehand, which made the experience smooth.Did pickup. The store itself isn’t the fanciest, but don’t let its appearance fool you. If you want to try Mediterranean food without breaking your bank, in this economy, check out this spot.

Would I come again? Yes. Would I...

Wouldn't recommend and not planning on going back. Food was tasteless (Arby's Gyros are better, and that's saying a lot). Waited 40 min for my food, its part of a gas station with 5 parking spots, once in the door you have to make your way through the gas station check out line to even reach the bar/food. Was not even acknowledged as I sat and waited at the bar, and 1 customer is served at a time. After you have waited for your food you have to checkout with the gas station attendant, so you have to then wait in that line again (and the store is small to begin with). Overall 2.5 stars for location, wait time and...
