PHONE: 303-757-5900
Multi locations
Enter the bright restaurant and enjoy the colors and the
huge open kitchen counter with seating throughout the
room as well. As you go through the line, you pick your
pita, then your protein; next add all the different
toppings and then the sauces. The meals are prepared as
you watch, and when done, eat in or carry out. The big
problem is deciding on what to put into your pita.
Choose pita, plate or wrap. Add chicken or steak shwarma,
falafel, or hummus and salad for vegetarians. Next add
any or all: seasoned rice, lettuce, vegetable salad,
cabbage, babaganoush, tabuleh, hummus, pickled eggplant
or pickles---or all of them. Now you have to decide on
sauces that include cilantro, garlic, tahini, green or
red chili. Extras are grilled eggplant, hard boiled egg,
and hummus toppings. At the end of the line, your
shwarma is ready for you to enjoy. There are also soups
or individual sides of the great fillers. A special
touch happens as each guest gets a falafel to nosh on as
you watch the fun. Garbanzo is rockin’ the town with the
great food, and a lot cheaper than a trip abroad.

LoDo welcomes a new concept that offers diners a perfect
spot for breakfast and lunch. As you enter the
restaurant, you feel that “back country” with wood
walls, booths for seating, and that very casual feel.
Read the menu on the board and place your order at the
counter. Eat in or carry out, either way the food is
great. The sandwiches are on terrific breads matched to
the filling. The Pilgrim brings Thanksgiving every day
with turkey, stuffing, and cranberries, or order plain
turkey, club sandwiches, chicken, and more. There are
tuna and chicken salads that fill the bread, tomato and
mozzarella, beef, and so many choices that decisions are
difficult. Several salads please the non-bread eaters.
Order a cookie for dessert if you have a sweet tooth.
Back Country Provisions is a great alternative for
really good food in LoDo for daytime dining.

Wine bars are the rage and Sketch presents one that is
hard to beat. The setting is fabulous with high ceilings
with beautiful molding, comfortable banquette seating
with great chairs, a stunning translucent look on the
walls, and terrific chandeliers. Another section of the
space features a beautiful bar with a knock-out wall of
wine bottles and the salumi station open to the guests.
The feature is wine, beer and a house special “sangria”
that is heavy on the alcohol, very tasty and wicked.
Chef/Partner Sean Yontz designed a menu that matches the
wine list perfectly. The salumi section of jamon,
prosciutto, chorizo, carpaccio, salame, foie gras and
capicola offers many options. Pair them with an amazing
assortment of the very best cheeses. Accompaniments of
lavash, figs, apples, almonds and olives complement the
food. End with El Rey Venezuelan chocolate and Amarena
cherries, and a paired wine. A quick breakfast and lunch
has been added with great Panini that please those in
the area The breakfast Panini are incredible with eggs,
cheese, lox and bagel, and even delicious outmeal.
Sketch is casual, sophisticated, a taste of Italy, and
with this latest concept, Owner/Partner Jesse Morreale
brings an exciting hot spot to spend the evening and
stay into the wee hours of the morning.
