Oasis Falafel (Iowa City)

On a Midwest scale I would say slightly below average but on a local scale within Iowa City itself probably considered pretty good by most. The food portions we're slightly smaller then I would have hoped. Overall I would say the price does reflect the quality of the food. Menu items pictured in the post that we tried include the gyro, and the sample platter which consisted of hummus, falafel, pita, and roasted chicken with veggies. See attached pictures and video. The staff was super friendly and super helpful. Our weight was much longer than I would have hoped. Almost 30 minutes. Come to find out our order was given to a different table so the server brought out a punch card for a free meal next time we stop in. It's a very small establishment but overall good environment. The restrooms were as clean as you would expect and parking is a little bit difficult to come by but there's a lot of side roads to park on.

Great portion sizes, delicious falafels and hummus, and all three types of meat I had (chicken, gyro, and beef kafta) were amazing! Also I loved the sides (couscous, madjadra rice, best olives and pickles), and the restaurant offers a nice, friendly atmosphere. Will be back!

This is a small restaurant in downtown Iowa city. Parking might be a bit hard to find. Coming to the food: 1. The falafel was excellent- crunchy, soft and perfect taste. The hummus complimented it very well. The Baba Ganoush (5/5) was smoky and creamy. I would definitely order it. The fires were amazing too. I’m not a big fan of Baklava but it was very very good here. The size and taste of Turkish coffee was a tad bit of a disappointment. But overall a great place. The staff were very friendly and polite. The seating indoor was limited but there was lot of seating outdoor.

My favorite restaurant in Iowa City. Not the cheapest food around, but it’s truly quality. The falafel and the hummus are some of the best I’ve had. I usually get the half gyro (which is plenty) along with chips and hummus. But the chicken shawarma is also very good. It’s pretty small inside, but there’s lots of Outdoor seating around if it’s nice out. You won’t be disappointed!

If you're in the town, then it's my absolute recommendation to visit this place if you're a fan of Mediterranean food. This place serves the best and has the quickest service of its kind. The seating might confuse you but there's ample space at the back of the restaurant. Tons of vegetarian options to try from, if you're wanting to avoid meat. I loved and enjoyed trying their combination platters. Their sandwiches are so fresh, the ingredients literally smell so fresh. Will try again!!
