Definitely the best Mediterranean food in town. The Kafta was delicious. The falafel was great. Everything really was delicious. Definitely order a side of the green salsa. The girl at the front counter was super helpful and nice. The food came quick. I'll be back for sure.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile! I went for breakfast and had the Greek omelet. It was amazing and I can’t wait to come back for lunch/dinner! Service was great as well!

The food here is literally incredible! I cannot express enough how amazing it is to have a locally run Mediterranean restaurant with such high quality food in Des Moines! I eat here at least four times a month!

Was here for work and this place was recommended by three separate people. Greek food seems to be so hit or miss. This was a hit. The place was fairly busy and I got my food within a minutes of sitting down. I got the regular gyro wrap with gatlic fries, , some dolmas and some baklava. Everything was good. Not everything was fresh made but, for the price, was very good. If I had one thing I wished was better, it would be the baklava. Definitely not traditional and they warmed it up in the microwave so it wasn't crispy. It was atill good, just not my favorite. I didnt catch my waitress' name but she so great. I will definitely make it a point to come back if I'm back in town.

Love this place ever since they opened in Fluer. This one is newer but the food is the same here. Usually get the gyro or supreme platter. Never have anything bad here.
