Great food! We are visiting and ordered their food two days in a row because it was super delicious: Fresh ingredients, great spices blend and very tender and high quality meat. Will definitely come back when visiting this area again.

On our first trip to Denver, we stumbled upon a stunning halal buffet that blew us away! Each dish was a unique flavor experience, from the Mushroom Chicken and Lamb Kebabs to the fresh Samosas. Unlike typical buffets, everything here stands out! The highlight? They prepare the Lamb Biryani and Kebabs fresh when you order, ensuring you enjoy piping hot, delicious food. The desserts, especially the baklava, were divine! The cozy ambiance and quality halal offerings made for a memorable meal. Plus, the owner treated us to a nostalgic Sudanese herbal tea that wrapped up our day perfectly. Highly recommend this spot—worth every penny for quality and quantity! Don’t miss it!

I would come here for lunch. The buffet is good if you are a little bit familiar with Mediterranean cuisine. I tried chicken shawarma and it was pretty good. The space looks clean and new, they have cute plants all around. Prices are reasonable. Standard drink selection: soda. Would be nice to have something else, like smoothie or any kinds of tea, to make the meal healthier and more enjoyable. In general — like it and recommend! (Upd: they actually have a lot of other drinks, they helped me to find it)

Everything I ate here was top notch, super fresh tasting, very authentic flavors. The selection is not as big as the "average buffet" but it's missing nothing in my humble opinion. 19 bucks for all you can eat Mediterranean food is unheard of, especially at this quality. Will be bringing everyone back here

I loved it! I did the buffet option and especially enjoyed the peanut chicken and rice. The desserts were very good as well. The server was very friendly and helpful as well. I would definitely return and I personally thought the value for the quality of food was exceptional. Instead of the usual large buffet with poor quality food, this buffet focused on 5 main dishes and a few sides and they were quality!! So well done and so delicious.
