“The food here was phenomenal! The chevapi was perfect, the lamb was falling off the bone and even the fat was so delicious you could spread it on a piece of bread like butter. The burek was perfectly cooked and had so much flavor! Even the salads were so delicious we could not stop eating them. This will be my go-to place in the Des Moines/Johnston area from now on!“
“Such a lovely spot for a date night. I used to work here back in high school when it was café di Scala and I had not been back since. Went for an anniversary and was treated with champagne and such a good meal. I got the seafood risotto and everything was phenomenal. The pizza was spot on and everything was delicious!“
“Angelo is a one man army in the kitchen! Total savage. Excellent food. Small staff works extremely hard and is polite. Can be very busy, but when time permits, Angelo is a joy to speak with. Love coming here. Always recommend to friends local and traveling.“
“Came here with a buddy to grab a quick dinner. We were seated right away, towards the back of the restaurant. This part of the restaurant was a little loud, where we had to definitely raise our voices to be heard. It wasn't terrible but much louder than I expected it to be inside a restaurant.Everything else was very positive, the drinks were good and came quick. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was not amazing but definitely good. Would come back again, maybe especially in the summer to try the huge patio.“
“This little gem is amazing. Order the Gyro Rice dish, you will not be disappointed. The chicken shawarma is amazing as well! Wish they were available on GrubHub or in Mondays! The staff are wonderful and the atmosphere takes you to a place that is far beyond the East Village of Des Moines! Go check it out!“
“The food is so delicious and tasty. If you are looking for Middle Eastern food restaurant in Des Moines, that is the closest you would find and more over is the fact its Halal meat.The healthiest meat for human consumption. Read about Halal meat if you are not familiar with it.I know that I'm going to regret putting out this review because It will end up getting very bust once people get to try it and I'm going to have hard time eating there without waiting inline. I just owe people my honest review of this restaurant.Check them out and I'm very sure you will not regret it.“
