13 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Urbandale

“Absolutely amazing place. Since I've showed up to Iowa I go every week and always have a blast. The servers, Mariana and Jes are very friendly and helpful when it comes to the menu items and their service. I've had most of the items on the menu and everything has been spot on! Incredible! Love it all! I am definitely going to miss this lounge when I leave iowa. 5/5.“

“I usually love pita pit. I recommend the falafel!

I am extremely disappointed they have changed the service model to make you order all the toppings at the register and cannot see the toppings. For example, I usually only get the spinach if it looks fresh. And I skip items when they have other things in them, like cheese in the pepper container and so on.“

“Very large portions, had leftovers for days! Great food, friendly helpful staff, we will definitely go back and at least pick up takeout, if we don't dine in. They are opening a second location in West Des Moines! Try the Jalapeño salsa, delicious.“

“this is a fantastic place!!! food is incredible, atmosphere is awsome, and the owner is top notch. if it is a large group of a date this is the place to go“

“Just had dinner at Hugo’s. The Arugala salad with pear was delicious. Our pork, apple butter, white sauce pizza was really good too. We had a bottle of Barbazola wine from Mt Edna, thoroughly enjoyed everything! Service was great, nice weather, what more can you ask for???!!“

“One of my favorite places in Ankeny!“

“Friendly staff and yummy food. Ordered food to go but the space looks really nice for a casual gathering. I like the option of all 3 restaurants next to eachother like a mini food court and there r several vegetarian options between them. Chicken is Halal, beef/lamb is kosher, I believe.

Dietary restrictions: Halal and kosher options

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loved the sandwich although they do not have a Children's menu, u can pick and choose whatever you would like to put in your sandwich or bowl which makes it a lot easier with children.“

“The food was so good and our experience was exceptional! We had our baby with us and the owner took time to make her some food and spend time talking with us! I can’t wait to go back!“

“THE LADY THE WAITED ON ME WAS REALLY NICE AND THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD. I WILL BE RETURNING“

“Delicious Pita, Cevapi’s and Gyros! They have it all and it’s so delicious! 🤤“

“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“

“Aposto has a lovely atmosphere and some delicious dishes. The polenta cakes were a fan favorite as they were both light and crispy, and the sauce added a wonderful depth of flavor. For entrees, we liked the gnocchi’s lightness as each pesto lemon bite was really nice. However, the way it’s portioned makes the meal seem quite small, and there is very little crab in the dish itself. We ordered the duck special over risotto as well. The confit duck leg was cooked and spiced to perfection, but it’s accompanying risotto lacked a flavor punch.

For dessert, neither of us were wowed. They were decent and flavored as advertised, but they also didn’t quite hit the mark. We did adore our wines (especially the orange wine).“

“1st visit here last night. Will not be our last! Great food, great drinks, good portions, reasonable price, great atmosphere! Our group had 4 entrees: Salmon, Pasta Primavera, Chicken Amigio, and Ravioli in a custom Alfredo sauce. We also sampled the sugar cookie martini's.“
