9 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Des Moines

“Ordered a small dolma side and the falafel plate with tabbouleh. Everything was excellent. So excellent, that I ordered the exact same thing to take back to the hotel for later. Later lasted about 20 minutes. If I'm ever back in the area I'll be stopping by again.“

“My wife and I dined at Hugo's last night on the patio. The service was excellent, the food was great. This was our first time, loved the vibe of the place. The service and food made it even better! What a welcome addition to this neighborhood! Well done Hugo's.“

“Aedes albopictus present in outdoor seating. Albopictus is responsible for local transmission of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. Please invest in bug traps or join Polk county’s mosquito abatement program and they can set up a trap. Service and food were great, but 30+ bites are not fun. Absolutely worth it if you sit indoors.“

“We stopped in for lunch and got a fish, chicken and two sambusas. The food was great! It was our first time there and everything was delicious. As of June 2020, there was some construction on the road in front of the restaurant that might make it a little hard to find (or easy to miss) but it is worth the effort because the food is excellent. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ordered the falafel plate (without feta) and an extra pita (because I like carbs) via Uber Eats to my hotel room. The grilled pita was soft, warm, and delicious. The falafel was decent, not the best I've ever had. I wish it had a little more hummus on it. The salad it came with was tasty; I liked the dressing. Overall, it hit the spot and I wanted another one as soon as I was done. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-31“

“Great food at a reasonable price.“

“Never had this place before but my fiance and I have been on a diet and wanted a cheat day and this place popped up the gyro fries instantly caught our eyes they give you a perfect amount of meat if youre a saucy person definently order extra tzatziki sauce but they definently outbreak any on going doubts that we had going into it absolutely amazing and we never had baklava before but holy crap was it good every baklava ive seen just looks dry there's is smothered in honey so moist and so flaky at the same time the most delicious dessert my fiance has ever had which to you readers it might not seem much but she loves really good desserts and has a wide taste variety for desserts and this one somehow beat them all try it for yourself if youre a non believer but just expect that its going to outbeat your expectations I would give this place 10 stars if I truly could I hope by writing this review they dont ever change recipes because they have a perfect thing going thank you to all the employees and chefs this place was (insert chefs kiss meme)“
