Phoenician Kabob — Restaurant in Denver

We went here for Saturday dinner after reading the reviews... When we finally got food, we in fact found the fresh food to be delicious. And the manager/owner comped half our meal which helped.....

But prior to that result, we-- two adults and a toddler-- sat for 15 minutes before we were greeted in a restaurant only half-2/3 full, all the while observing others on either side order and receive food. Finally what appears to be the hostess asked if anyone had come to bring menus (they hadn't), and offered us water and menus and milk for our son. After 30 min total, she returned and asked if we'd been greeted by a server (we hadn't) and hastily said she'd take our order. She got 2/3 initial plates right, totally forgetting the one thing I most wanted, falafel. By this point, we'd asked the main courses to be boxed. She brought these and the check. Another 5 min and we decided to take the check up to the bar where we met with the owner who finally brought boxed falafel after we made mention of having no server and the missed appetizer.

I'd like to try this place again, but not with child and if I can find extra time/flexibility...

Lebanese Native Here. I went through some of the reviews before visiting this place and I was very excited to take my girlfriend out to a nice Lebanese meal. I have never been this disappointed with lebanese food in my life... We ordered the Grilled kabab combo and the vegetarian combo entrees to try out most of what they have on the menu. Let's start off with the Kabab: The meat was poorly seasoned and REHEATED and I wish they did a good job reheating it as it came out cold. The basmati rice had no flavor and was overcooked. The kafta was chunky(improper preparation), low on fat, and Reheated The garlic paste was the only thing good about that plate. The vegetarian combo was the real disaster superstar: The falafel tasted like fried cumin powder. The grape leaves were rolled properly but the filling was disgusting The tabboule very poorly seasoned and not fresh. The baba ghannouch was EHH The hummus (sabra's tastes way better) They also serve that plate with that awful Rice... The server was nice though. Also this place is extremely pricey for the...

First this is the dirtiest food establishment I have ever been to. The waiter was extremely slow for how empty the place was. The food was OK for Lebanese. The main reason for my 1 star rating is the waiter touched my 9 month old son. Gross you do not touch random people why touch a baby? My son came down with adenovirus 2 days after eating here and I am certain he cought it here as my husband works from home and I am a stay at home mom and this was the only place we went to that week. My son is still sick 1 week later and has dropped over 1 pound which is a lot when youre only 20 lbs. We should have left when we saw how dirty the highchairs were. Never again, I hope this place closes. Those with children or those who care about eating at a place that can pass a health inspection...
