Dining
Urban Hip-E in Montrose runs with an earthy, free-spirited vibe and a Mediterranean-leaning menu that still loves noodles and bowls. The Asian Shrimp Crunch Salad presents crisp greens with a shrimp crunch and a tangy drizzle that keeps you coming back for more. The Traditional Gyro features tender lamb, creamy tzatziki, and a fluffy pita that holds up to the filling. Veggie Ramen with Tofu and Our Favorite Cheesy Spaghetti show the kitchen’s range, from saucy pasta to a warm ramen option.
