If you’re a fan of Mediterranean food, you can’t miss Ash’Kara, a colorful and contemporary restaurant that brings “ancient food” from the Middle East and Mesopotamia to Denver. We recommend going with a party to get the full range of food they offer, from their variety of dips served with house-made, wood-fired pita, to their chicken tagine platters, sides like spiced rice, and much more. For small bites at a cheaper price, head there during happy hour from 3-5pm Monday through Sunday.

To get the most bang for your buck, we’d recommend going for happy hour from 3-5pm daily and indulging in their pizzas, from Margherita to Diavolo for only $10. If you come during dinner time, we’d highly recommend the cacio e pepe, a pasta from Rome that’s simply pecorino and freshly cracked pepper, but is delicious.

Instead, it offers just the right balance of retro-inspired design elements with a modern approach to sourcing. A5 is primed for special occasions and blow-your-budget meals, but it’s also conducive to after-work drinks, so don't be intimidated by the "steakhouse" label. This is a place you’ll want to bite into, whether you’re looking for a porterhouse or just a properly made Manhattan. ($$$$)
