As luck would have it, I had some time around lunch prior to an appointment, and remembered this cafe fondly. Josh was a stellar waiter, and the blue haired waitress helped out, too. I recommend the falafel, and they are generous with the tahini sauce. The side Greek salad is blah, with only a couple of olives to distinguish itself from the fixings on the gyro, so next time I'd choose another side to enjoy with the Lunch Deal (drink, gyro and side for $11). Best part of being solo at lunch: being able to eavesdrop on the three generations seated behind me. So much interesting stuff. Good iced tea, tho you'll only get one lemon slice. I liked it.

We were excited by all of the Middle Eastern restaurant choices in Fort Collins. This is a pretty safe choice, but not terribly exciting.I wasn't crazy about my falafel sandwich - the bread encasing the falafels was more a tortilla than I had expected. I never know whether to expect a pocket pita or a flatbread style pita. This was neither. We had ordered a side of pickles and olives. Adding those to the sandwich made it flavorful. The garlic eggplant appetizer (Fried w/ Garlic, lemon juice, parsley, vinegar & sumac) is just perfect - next time, I will get the eggplant as a sandwich. I think that would work better than the falafel did.I ordered the "mint lassi" to drink. The waiter did not want to serve it to me thinking I wouldn't like it. Well, it is a favorite of mine - though this was actually ayran. Lassi is, to me, Indian. Ayran is similar but Middle Eastern. This was a bottled product, not housemade. But delicious and perfect for this food.The service on our one visit was a bit begrudging. We were there just after the lunch rush, which might be why.All in all - not a bad meal, but there are so many choices out there. This would not be on my repeat list.

My husband and I have visited this Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill multiple times since moving to Fort Collins in Feb. 2018. We have yet to be disappointed! There is nothing negative about this restaurant, as it as a face-paced food making style (like Chipotle) and all the food you are served is fresh. We are always greeted upon arriving with fresh falafel samples. The hummus and baba ganoush are addicting! If you are looking for tasty, fresh, savory Mediterranean food, but you don't want to sit at a table and wait for your food to be served, this is the place for you. Bonus: if you think you'll become a frequent visitor to this place, opt in to their rewards program - you'll get $5 right up front AND $5 off every single time you collect 80 points!
