I really enjoyed this spot! It will definitely be my go to for quick Mediterranean food. I had the shawarma plate and my husband had the gyro meat plate. Delicious flavors, great price, good location. If there were more information on the food or other combo options I would have ranked higher but that’s just being picky. Coke products and other drinks offered.
I have purchased some philosophical items at my local grocers. They're good but just taste like every other brand in my opinion . I went to the store today for lunch with friends and was blown away by the food and customer service. Super friendly service, there was a steady flow but nothing that would make you wait for any long amount of time. I had the Gyro sampler platter. Everything hit a10! You must have the Green Chili Hummus!
Food was delicious by far the best in town. The employee working was very professional and promptly cooked our food to order exceptional service. The worker lady was however a little cold shoulder type vibe not extremely friendly. Didn't take away from the experience. The decor is all over the place from African American to bicycles definitely strange. New decor would make this place irresistible
This place needs more recognition! Great food and amazing service. Kate is an amazing person and strives best customer service. We will definitely come back to FalafelKing when we return to Denver. Thank you Kate! :)

So good! Highly recommend this place! Awesome that they have so many vegetarian and vegan options (maybe a little less than half the menu) as well as some gluten-free options.
I got the 4x6 combo which had 6 falafels and 4 sides of my choice. All the sides are dairy-free (can add feta for an extra $0.75) and vegan, and the majority of them are gluten-free, too. I got the mushrooms, baba ganoush, green chile hummus, and roasted eggplant with tomatoes. It came with a salad with a tahini sauce as the dressing and a warmed pita on the side. So good!!! Every single item was so flavorful and fresh. It was so cool watching them make 6 fresh falafels just for me - they added the falafel batter into their falafel machine, turned it on, it started spinning, and it dropped 6 balls right into the deep fryer!
The atmosphere is really nice. It's a counter service restaurant, but it looks fancier like a typical table service one. The chairs are wooden and really beautiful - they have different styles and some of them look like pieced-together wood slices so you can see all the edges and grains of the tree. Hard to explain, but it's a work of art. There is an outdoor patio as well, but it's right next to busy traffic.
Low key AWESOME place to grab healthy, deliciousness and take to Congress Park Taproom two doors down and have a beer. Came in just before closing time which is always a risk but came out with a really good gyro.
Nice Selection, healthy choices, it smelled great when we walked in the door. We tried the Lamb/Beef, both hummus’s, the sampler, it was all delicious. Friendly service and affordable prices.
I love this place! I have always liked falafel, but I find it hard to find good falafel. I always thought it was normal for falafel to be a little dry and sometimes not super flavorful. I can't tell you how wrong I was. Here they fry the fresh falafel ball mix to perfection as you order it. A plethora of other fresh delicious ingredients to choose from to pack your pitta or plate makes this my favorite place to enjoy the dish. As a plant based eater it is a must try!!!
Not bad. It was pretty tasty. Simple, Mediterranean fare. Nice decor and nice place to dine in and relax.
When I was in my twenties, a day trip by bus to Boulder was a fun experience. My friends and I didn't go with any specific goals in mind, just hanging out on the 16th Street Mall, perhaps visiting a bookstore or record shop. I can't imagine spending a day so aimlessly now, and sometimes that’s a shame.
In those old days, there were one or two reliable places for lunch or dinner, and Falafel King was one of them. Such good Mediterranean food - no wonder their hummus is now featured at Whole Foods, Alfalfa's, and similar outlets. Times may have changed for me, but Falafel King is still around, and I enjoy visiting the Colorado Boulevard location. It brings a little bit of Boulder to Denver, and has a bit of the feeling of those older, younger days, too.
