3B grill

Wonderful service and food. I got a gyro and my boyfriend ordered two pitas (beef and a beef and potato). Everything was excellent. The pitas were large so we took one to go and ate it later. Small menu, but that's okay because what they do offer they do it well. Wasn't sure what to expect when we randomly stopped in, but so glad we did. Can't wait to tell my friends about this place!

We had Cevapi, Gulash and Mashed potatoes, Cheese pitta, and gyros. Everything was on point! Finally some authentic food that's tastes fantastic! Highly recommend and I guarantee you will love it!
Great customer service as well.

We ordered the Bosnian gyro, French fries, And a pita with beef & potato. It was Very yummy. One order for each of us still allowed us to take some home.

Amazing food, service was incredible made the experience 10 times better would recommend this restaurant/grill

great bosnain food best in town must try. service is great very caring workers

The Green Olive

Me and my husband are from Seattle and Vegas and have been disappointed with a lot of the restaurants out here in the midwest, especially ethnic foods, but this place was a nice surprise! The food was flavorful and even spicy! My one critique was that the taste wasn’t as clean/fresh as traditional greek, but we also got a lot of food for our money, which we haven’t seen much since pre-covid so we didn’t mind one bit.

Delicious food and classy service. We are happy to have this Mediterranean restaurant in Des Moines. I will definitely visit it again with my family and friends.

Eleven of us were in town for a competition. I called and asked if there was space and she said she would make sure of it. We arrived and she was able to squeeze us all in and gave us the best service possible. We all ate a variety of dishes similar to the picture. Everything was excellent and we wished we had gone back as we drove by on our way to the airport. Everything was served with a smile and we never had to ask for service because she was on top of it. It’s in a shopping center so casual and nothing fancy. It was excellent! Usually chicken kabobs easily dry out. Not this one. Everything was flavorful and juicy. Thank you for hosting us!

Another Visit - another review:
Had the urge to eat Mediterranean food. We didn't have to think much as this restaurant was already proven. We drove around 15-20 miles to have lunch at this place.
We pretty much ordered the same menu items which we had previously. In addition, we also ordered Garlic French Fries and
Fresh Fruit Juice - Cantaloupe Juice.
The French Fries were freshly made and the presence of Garlic salt along with some added spice on top made it really tasty.
The Cantaloupe juice was extraordinary - fresh and without any soda. Truly mind-blowing.
Another 5-Star visit !
=====================================================
This review was pending from a long time. But, better late than never. This is from May-2023.
On our way back from the Airport, we were hungry and wanted to have some good food. Being vegetarians, I could not find too many options around.
Whenever we are very hungry, Mediterranean food is among the top options for us. I came across The Green Olive, looked up their menu, and thought that we can give this a try, and drove down to this restaurant.

The restaurant is simple and decent sized, not very huge, but good enough. Atmosphere and ambience is not among the greatest.
Parking is sufficient. Location is great.
Veronica helped us with our order and service. Nice and pleasant attitude, she even provided suggestions with the food considering our vegetarian limitations.

We ordered Falafel Platter, Vegetarian Platter, Veggie Skewers and Spicy Potato.
I also wanted to order some extra rice on the side, but Veronica was kind enough to advise us against ordering rice, as the rice is prepared from chicken base.
The food was ready and served to us in around 15 minutes.

Both the platters were amazingly delicious.
The Hummus (seasoned with Olive oil and spice), Baba Ghanoush, Dolmas, Tabbouli, Tzaziki, Tahini, Salad, Falafel - all tasted amazing. The sauces and dressing were great and in right proportion.
The Green Sauce (made of cilantro-jalapeño) was the best of all. Don't miss to try this. The Pita bread was hot, fresh, soft and fluffy. I ordered quite a few extra Pitas.

All the items were rich in flavor, taste, freshness and quality.
The Portion Size was very good and plentiful. The Spice level was as we had wanted.

They had different kinds of Juices, but we did not try any.

We've been to several other Mediterranean restaurants, and a few in DSM as well (including Gazali's - which sucked), and this one ranks up there among the best.
Not at all expensive, taste is amazing, service is quick and prompt.
I wish they had a branch somewhere in Waukee, WDM, Clive, or Urbandale.

Overall - Great Food, Great pricing, Great Service, Amazing staff, True value for money !

My first time getting food here. I am new to DesMoines. It was recommended to me. I did get carry out. It is quite pretty inside tho. I got greek salad. Oh my gosh! It was outstanding! The sauces/dressing was unbelievable and really made it sooo special. I was beyond impressed. The green sauce can be ordered with anything on the side. Please try it.  Below is a pic.

Eatery A

I came here thinking I’d get a late lunch but I was pleasantly surprised that they ha.  3pm! With that came bottomless mimosas at just $16.99!! The place has a very rustic ambiance and wasn’t too loud either. It has booths, high top tables and regular tables, so an option for everyone. The menu is vast and has a ton of vegetarian options, which was great. I ordered spicy potato bravas which were the right amount of spicy, right there in the middle. The quantity is not excessive and perfect for a 1 person appetizer. As an entree I ordered an asparagus and sweet corn grain bowl. Let me tell you, the presentation was exquisite. I chose the egg option and the eggs were perfectly poached and over easy. I loved my experience and the service is absolutely outstanding. At the last minute I decided to order a strawberry pot de creme to top off my meal, absolutely amazing!!

Very, very good pizza. If you get there after 3 p.m. the menu is much more interesting, but lunch is great. During happy hour pizza is half price. During dinner hours, they have a 3 "oven appetizers" thing for $16. How good can cooked carrots be? Pretty effing great actually. We usually split a 3 app thing & a pizza.

On our way through the town we stopped by this restaurant as it had good vegetarian options. While I wouldn’t call this restaurant Mediterranean, there were many options to choose from. We enjoyed Shrimp & Grits, Asparagus & Leek Grain Bowl, and a #2 Pizza. We were seated initially outside (plenty of seating) when the clouds opened up and rained down. We were welcomed inside with no problem and seated right away. I enjoyed the atmosphere and cozy, warm environment. Our waitress was excellent and attentive.

This place is amazing.  I agree that there are some mediteranian influences.  It is also an eclectic menu.  It was really good food.  The staff were friendly.  It is located in an area where you can easily access things to do afterward.  Grey's Lake hike, Caribou Coffee, down the road within walking distance, Des Moines Art Center, Salisbury House, all fairly close.  Photos are Butternut Squash Soup and Beet Salad.  It was very beautifully seasoned.  Soup had a nice paprika oil on top to give it extra smokiness.  It was still light, not too spicy but interesting, more complex.

First impression is that the front door host is not friendly. She did not say a word and walked away. Apparently, this means hello and welcome... follow me. In millennial speak.

Then the waiter was very friendly, but in deciding to sit at the bar, Emily asked, "What do you think of the broom closet?"  Well, it's all syrup. Cranberries and rosemary but none to be seen. When noting that the salad has goat cheese and walnuts... only arugula and a cheese cracker paste with a few lost blueberries arriving. When asking where the walnuts are? The server leaves without a word and comes back with more cheese paste in a bowl and once again leaves without a word.  Rude.

I won't be back for the cold service. Eating out is supposed to be an experience, not KFC.  The bartender Emily decided to turn away to have a conversation about the comments on the drink. The manager gave a dirty look.  None of which is acceptable from a fine dining establishment. They need a new cook, training, hostes replaced, and cook needs retrained. I can open a jar of olives and artichokes and microwave it and have the same experience. Or dump syrups into a glass.  Or be rude.  That's not an experience or a skill set that sets this bar above the competition. For which there is a lot of other competition.  And turning away to have a conversation about guests is also noticeable, audible, and rude.

Parlor

Enjoyed our first visit here. Cheese curds and onion rings were excellent. We were there for happy hour so we got the two slices for $4, which you can’t beat. Had the My Way, You’re So Vain, and Proud Mary. Mine (You’re So Vain) was a bit bland (I added Parmesan and salt). Macy was an excellent server.
Three of us with two appetizers and four adult beverages, ate for less than $50.

We returned for brunch a few days later. All three of us really enjoyed it. We ordered a Parlor breakfast (eggs cooked perfectly over-medium), a skillet, and half order of Buttermilk Biscuits with a side of sausage. The gravy was good but no sign of sausage in it. Maybe I was accidentally given hollandaise instead? It was tasty. The breakfast potatoes were heavenly!
I have to give a big shout out the manager Ben for great service. I hope this place will add some signage so people know they’re there and open.

Sat outside for brunch. There were plenty of food options but maybe not as varied as places that specifically focus on breakfast/brunch! My friends got scrambles and omelettes. I opted for the egg sandwich which was basically an eggs benedict without the hollandaise and the egg was cooked to your specifications. I had my eggs poached. I've just gotten back from New Mexico so I'm in a chile phase at the moment and was really excited about the green chile sauce on the sandwich. It did not disappoint! The flavors are amazing! The whole meal was delicious! Cocktails and all. The server was extremely attentive as well. This was my first visit here so I'm interested in coming back to try the pizza. Highly recommend!

Brunch, Lunch and Dinner

Most items are made in house.

Parlor is a fun experience to get some great food and drinks.

Their staff is amazing and attentive.

As for food, they have a great selection of brunch items, lunch and dinner appetizers, Detroit style pizza with a great selection of toppings, drinks that are delicious and don't forget to leave room for some wonderful desserts.

Exactly what you’re hoping a new restaurant experience to be! Fun, yet classy vibe. Good music playing. Kind staff. Cool aesthetic. And the food, the food!

We ordered two pizza and did 1/2and 1/2 on each of them so we could try 4 pizzas we also did gluten free on one.

The gluten free crust was, in my opinion even bette than the original crust because it had a light texture still while still maintaining the crisp crust.

Will be back to try the apps and finish out the pizza choices!

Service was fast and friendly. I really loved the Sweet Jane pizza. Perfect combination of sweet and savory with the ricotta cheese and honey on it. Nashville chicken sliders were interesting. I’m not sure if I’d recommend them just because the bread was sweet, which I thought was an odd flavor combination. The Take 5 pizza was great. The beef bulgogi was very well made with nice accents from the carrots and green onions on it.

Southridge Mall

I mainly shop Target. They have some things no one else carries. The greeting card section is incredible! The children's section is huge. I enjoy home decor the most.

About be this location an A- because of their and so much was against them. Bank of America is a great add, from the west. Also l, the VA create themselves a spot using the back wall of the old Toys’R’Us.

Love what little of stores they have. My go-to place is Marshall's.

Not a mall anymore. Just a bunch of stores gathered in the same parking lot.  You have to go outside to get to a different one instead of being comfortable in a climate controlled building.

Palmyra Restuarant

I deliver Uber eats and this place always smelt so good when i would come in to pick up. So I figured i would try the goat and rice, since I have never had goat. It was absolutely amazing. The people there are so nice. It’s a must try.

One of the best food I had in a while they really cook it well. They also really friendly❤️ definitely will come again

I dont know if they behave to everybody like that and didnt like me because I am Turkish-American but for 23$ they gave me 0.18 Ibs mixed meat,I didnt understand if they tried to mock me or treats everybody like that. I took the picture very closely so it might lead you falsely.If you know size of regular plate,you will understand me. Restaurant was awful.

Amazing food ! Very nice service . The person was very nice and friendly . He suggested us the food and it was actually nice 🥰 he also gave us free chai 😍

Very tasty. Combination Kebab was delicious. Tends to lean on the expensive side for what you get, not a great value.  The Boiled Kibbeh was an experience for adventurous eaters; a deep fried fritter with a cool meat center.  The person helping us asked us to point at a menu to order, and the ambience reflected in the photos of these reviews was sadly not present.

Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

Food was great. Got a family size half cowboy pizza with added green onion and half murphy special. Brought home and cooked immediately. Followed instructions on the sheet folded into the plastic on the pizza. Crust was great and crispy, toppings were fresh and there was plenty of cheese. Staff was kind and patient when asked questions about their menu. Store was clean and well maintained. Great experience.

If you want pizza with fresh ingredients, it's one of the best places to go. Only thing it leaves me wishing for is if they'd put on more sauce, otherwise I love it.

Pizza is delicious take-home cook it all you have to do. So much cheaper than the cooked pizza pick up.

Cheese bread and calzones here are great. Try em out.

1st time I went there it was low key And subdued but the food was good after I cooked it. It was very quick I received the garlic and chicken pizza and it was really really good almost taste it like flawn

The Poké Company

I was craving a poké bowl. This is the first one I've had in Des Moines since I moved here three years ago and it did not disappoint! $14 for a large bowl, totally loaded up with whatever toppings you want is a good deal. I almost got 4 meals out of my single bowl! 3, for sure! The staff was extremely courteous and fast. I absolutely loved it!

Visited for the 3rd time and it was just as delicious as the previous visits. The staff is always super friendly, the food fresh & tastey, and the prices aren't outrageous. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring one to Waukee!! It would be amazing to have a delicious food option other than chain burger & Mexican food!!

Just lovely! Every bite I took was heaven in my mouth. I also really enjoyed the taro bubble tea. They use smaller Boba than other places, and I actually really liked it; you get more boba per drink. Friendly service and relaxing atmosphere.

So I walked in after the gym and told the professionally dressed person behind the counter "I'm a virgin" and she snickered and guided me through the process. The food was awesome, truly sushi in a bowl. I'm not a huge rice fan but they had cauliflower rice which I had never tried before and I'll never have normal rice again!

Downtown atmosphere and healthy right next to anytime fitness. Staff was awesome and price was spot on.

Only issue is the lack of healthier beverage choices over full-sugar sodas, but not worth a star deduction!

Well done

One of my favorite places to eat and the staff is always friendly! I tend to visit at least once every couple of weeks. The regular size bowl is huge and I always get 2 meals out of it so it's very much worth the cost. They also have a great rewards program. Plus it's way cheaper than ordering regular sushi. Highly recommend the spicy tuna!!

Open Sesame

I came several years ago and haven't had a chance to come back. How foolish I was. The chicken Shwarma pita was amazing. The Greek salad is the best in DSM - even better than the Greek place down the road. The gyro meat is so good.

A real nice place for lunch. Had the gyro plate and some stuffed grape leaves to go. Food came out fast and service was great. Very busy at lunch so glad I went a little early

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!

Overall good food. I went back multiple times, and will definitely go again next time I’m in town. Great place to get some high quality plant based eats too. Lots of vegan options.

Hummus: 8/10
Baba: 8/10
Gyro: 9/10
Salad/ 8/10
Falafel: 8/10
Pita: 9/10
Dolmas: 9/10

I got a shawarma rice plate to go and it was delicious! The garlic sauce and jalapenos were my favorite part.

Olympic Flame Restaurant

IT'S AMAZING!!!! The Greek/ Mediterranean food here is just amazing. It's truly made with LOVE. The service is out of this world. The Baklava is awesome. The soup and salad combo is refreshing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great little restaurant me and my wife wanted to try something different than our usual spots. Our waitress was super nice and helpful with ordering. The soup was pretty good with, had to add some salt and pepper. The salad was probably the biggest complaint I’d have as if was doused in oil. The appetizer of pitta brad and gyro sauce was incredible. The bread was warm and fresh, easily could have eaten it by itself. Our main dishes were really good too! I would maybe order something different than just the three meats but it was nice to try all of their cuts. Will definitely keep this in as restaurant to revisit.

This was an incredible introduction to Greek food! The gyro, saganaki, and kadaife were all A+! The staff was also incredibly friendly!

Falafel gyro was good, crunchy, and Sauce was on point.  Mascotto wine was delicious
We had Greek fries, and my freind had the lamb gyro wich was perfectly Roasted. 9/10 will come here again.

Good traditional Greek restaurant. Mom and pop type place. Lots of traditional Greek dishes. Many Greek wines and beers are available as well. Service can be a little slow when it is busy. Love some flaming Saganaki and gyro platter.
