Damascus Grill

Mur and Dig know I love Greek food. Something about it just tastes so good to me. So they stumbled across this little place once, and loved it, and when they went back a second time they came back with a menu. I had to go.

Damascus Grill is this little place in Littleton, CO. It's actually not Greek, but some of the dishes will be familiar. It's this tiny place that you might miss if you weren't looking for it. (I used to shop at a store across the street and never knew it was there). You walk in, and the decor is charming. Not overpowering and not half-hearted. We were seated, and the service was wonderful. The guy answered all the questions we had, and we actually just ordered a bunch of appetizers, and shared them. The Baba Ghanouj  was my favorite. And I was really glad to see a large amount of vegetarian options on the menu, since I know a lot of vegetarians. Usually it's salad and maybe one other thing, but they had three platters with 7 things on each platter as dinner options, and most of those were also appetizers.

Everything is cooked fresh. The quail came out still bubbling. The drinks were fresh. Dig got this fresh fruit smoothie, and honestly, it looked wonderful. My 'iced' mint tea was still warm in spots, telling me they had brewed it and then iced it. I think only the desserts are made ahead and well, that's understandable, especially with Baklava. 

The selection of food is wonderful. I had a hard time picking a few things to try, because there was so much there. The prices were good too, but then, we ordered appetizers. Still, about $6 for an appetizer on average, and dinners look to be about $15 a plate (or $12 for the vegetarian ones).  Still, we fed 3 people on appetizers and we all walked away full.

I will be going back to this place, probably the next time I need a 'Greek' food fix. It was really good.
