Yanni's
Yanni's is proud to serve authentic, homemade Greek cuisine originating from the Peloponnese region of Greece in a casual, family friendly atmosphere. The house specialty is Colorado grown Lamb. We spit-roast legs of lamb over charcoal every Sunday afternoon for dinner, and our lamb chops are world class. You will also find a variety of seafood, including Mediterranean Sea Bass, Mediterranean Cod, Red Snapper (in season), Kalamari, Octopus, and Shrimp dishes. For those who appreciate a fine glass of wine, you will find a wonderful selection of Greek wines, and several domestic and international wines as well.

"We had a group of 5 go to lunch at Yanni's. The food was great, but our server never took a drink order and pretty much ignored us the whole lunch."

"Hospitality by Yanni and the exotic Greek menu are the pitch points for Yanni's restaurant... on busy nights it's hopping and the outdoor area on a warm night is perfect... easy to get to at the Landmark shopping center, there are diversions nearby, movies, comdey club, bars... Opa!!"

"I understand as a business owner, you need to do all you can to control costs and make a profit. However, Yanni's is in a location that lends itself nicely to a "business crowd" during lunch. Now that Yanni's doesn't accept American Express, I can see where they will lose a great portion of those people including myself. The prices are fair, but if I can't use AMEX, then I won't be coming back to dine with clients which I would do quite often. Please rethink the fact that just because you might pay a little higher service charge for AMEX processing, that you'll lose a greater percentage of overall revenue."

"Our family went for Mothers' Day because I love pastistio and I noticed that they had it on the list. I had a huge serving which was fantastic and my husband got the lamp chops which he loved. My boys got the leg of lamb which wasn't as good as the lamb chops, but my husband still liked it. My boys ordered the lemon tort for dessert and loved that too. I thought it was ok. Our service was absolutely wonderful, talked with my boys, wished me a happy mother's day. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for good Greek food."

"This location might not be on your beaten path if not familiar with the Landmark area. If you're near I-25 and Belleview / Orchard is definitely worth checking out. Food was great, very personable attention, accommodating to personal requests - had a very delightful time!"

"Yanni's is a great resturant for an enjoyable, relaxed dinner. The food is very good and the service is excellent. If you like ouzo, it's the place to go. Thanks Yanni."

"We are Greek and have thought that Yanni's is the most authentic Greek restaurant around, so we invited 2 other couples to join us and were very disappointed. The owner usually greets his customers and pours a welcoming shot of Ouzo, but he kept ignoring our table. The avgolemono soup was the worst soup I've ever had and was nothing like true avgolemono which doesn't have vegetables in it. Someone in our party ordered the gyro platter and had to ask for tzatziki sauce to go with it because the sandwich came out dry. The galatobouriko dessert was the worst thing we've ever tasted, it was overcooked so that the eggs were scrambled, and it also had some alcohol in it which tasted terrible.
Our service was also the worst."

"I was a little nervous when we arrived and there was a line at the door, but they had our reservation and we were seated within a few minutes. We had appetizers the grilled octopus and the flaming cheese. Both were wonderful! Three of us had the lamb shank and it was cooked perfectly and the veggies that came with it were wonderful! My son did have the Baklava Ice Cream which was wonderful. The owner did come over with the bottle of Ouzo and we all had a shot. It was a lovely evening!"

"My husband and I were visiting Denver to see family. This restaurant was a great place for our party of 8. The tzatziki was some of the best I had. I got the gyro platter which was a generous helping with lovely pita."

"Yanni's is a neighborhood gem from way back when they were at the old location. The new location is great because the owner, Yanni loves to stop by and give everyone an Ouzo shot. The food is good and fresh. The menu also have GF options which is good to see. They care about the food, their employees and it translates down to the customer in my opinion. I've been their customer for quite some time and never disappointed. Always good and consistent. Good for family dinner, romantic date or business lunch. Check them out can't go wrong in my opinion."

"We remember an old Greek Boulder restaurant named Voulas. There food was very good and very memorable. The food at Yanni's was not. Having been to Greece and fine restaurants we know what good Greek food is. We had braised lamb that had no depth of flavor, it didn't taste like it was braised with any spices and was not tender as what you would expect from patient time honored cooking. Their calamari batter had no flavor. Could be wrong, but I think a family run business can be comfortable with their mediocrity....such that they see no reason to change. We cook Greek and know what the cultural savory goodness tastes like. Needles to say, we were disappointed with Yanni's food. It was very cafeteria like....generic in all respects."

"Yanni's was great! Right when I walked in a gentleman came up to greet me. He was very friendly. He sat us at our table, and brought by a bottle of ouzo and gave us a couple of shots. Later, after we had finished eating he came back, poured us each another shot of ouzo and took one with us. It turns out this was Yanni. He thanked us by name as we were leaving. Great food, and Yanni is awesome!"
