Description

When the wind is right, when owner Yanni Stavropoulos has the outdoor rotisserie grill fired up, the odor of roasting meat and garlic and wine will draw you from a mile away. Outside Yanni's, you'll see Stavropoulos standing over that grill like some kind of minor laughing spirit from an expurgated chapter of the Iliad -- the Lamb God, bringer of barbecue -- and you'll understand at a very basic, gut level why Greek food is so good. Yanni's offers all the standards -- dolmades, gyros, tzatziki, souvlaki -- and while the lunch menu is decent, the lamb dishes at dinner are the best.

2008 | Best Greek BBQ

Yes, there are things besides BBQ on the menu of Yanni Stavropoulos's Greek restaurant: dolmades, mezedes, souvlaki, ouzo and all the other stuff you'd expect. But why would you want anything else when you can have barbecued lamb When the wind is right and the outdoor rotisserie grill is fired up, the odor of roasting meat and garlic and wine will draw you from a mile away.

When the wind is right, when owner Yanni Stavropoulos has the gigantic outdoor rotisserie grill fired up in this strip mall off Monaco, the odor of roasting meat and garlic and wine mixes with car exhaust and the stink of hot blacktop into an aroma of history cut loose from chronology. You can see Stavropoulos... More »

Most of the Greek joints in Denver, as I note in this week's review, are mediocre places where people yell "Opa!" -- an expression of joy -- despite the fact that the fare they're serving is rather jo... More »
Yanni’s Greek Taverna

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, May 08, 2008

Most restaurants in town serve both lunch and dinner. And while at most of those places, the difference between the two meals is minor (the lunch menu missing only the most high-end steaks and chops, the most complicated entrees, the dinner menu s... More »
On the Lamb

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, April 13, 2006

I like Greek food, but it's never seemed like much of a cuisine to me. Greek food isn't a cuisine because it has no rules. Ask a hundred Greeks how to make tzatziki -- the ubiquitous yogurt and cucumber sauce -- and even though tzatziki contains... More »
LOCAL GYRO

By Kyle Wagner | Wed, April 13, 1994

When the test kitchen's been fired up since 1000 B.C., it's hard to improve on old family recipes. Although some of the ingredients--lemons, honey, eggplant, phyllo--popularly associated with Greek food didn't come along until many years and sever... More »
