Grape Leaves Restaurant 12405 East Mississippi Avenue, Aurora, CO 80012

"Ever since I moved to Aurora, this has been my comfort food. I get takeout from this restaurant about once a week, occasionally more if I'm having a hard time. I've only lived here since November of 2023, but there's something so genuine about this place that makes me feel grounded. The food is delicious, the music is wonderful, and the owner is very kind. He knows that I always choose takeout, and at this point I don't even have to say it for him to prepare it to go. He's even started adding a bowl of soup to my orders, and I'm pretty sure the soup isn't included with the meals! It's a small gesture, but it means a lot to me. I live alone, but the food from Grape Leaves makes me feel like I'm eating a home-cooked meal. I look forward to it every time. If you haven't tried Grape Leaves, please do so as soon as you have the opportunity. You won't regret it! (Also, to the owner--I need to learn your name the next time I come!--my name isn't Leslie. This is an alias account I use to avoid spam on my main Google account. I'm the guy with long hair and glasses who always orders to go! Thank you for making my day every time I order - your restaurant is my favorite out of every one I've tried since moving here.)"

"MUST TRY!! This has easily become one of our favorite restaurants in the Aurora area. If you get anything let it be the chicken, very tender and flavorful. Falafel is a must try here. The salad that’s served with the entree is coated in olive oil and probably one of the best. The gyro plate is a favorite too. You have to check this place out!!"

"Whole in the wall place tried as a memorial meal. The chicken kebob is AMAZING- juicy well seasoned. Lamb is tender, the grizzle has that charred extra flavor. Not super fatty but still juicy. The rice has this seasoning that we cannot pinpoint but adds a lil spice and dimension to their cute colorful rice! So curious how they add this pop of color to the rice. Hummus is SMOOTH and creamy. Delicious. Falafel is nice and crispy outside but soft inside. 10/10"

"Every time I come here it is a pleasant and clean atmosphere. The food is good and they have a huge variety on their menu. My hubby likes the lamb shank and I like the chicken shawarma. My teen kids eat whatever they are in the mood to eat. When we eat in the restaurant they have a variety of sides to try. I am happy we found this place. They have not disappointed me in their variety of choices. Today I did take out but I have eaten in quite a few times."

"The Baba Ghanouj, the Falafel sandwich, and the Lamb Kabob sandwich were amazing! The flavors were that of an expensive restaurant. If you love Mediterranean food, you have to come here!"
