This place is AMAZING! Server was very knowledgeable about gluten/celiac sensitivity. The food was so flavorful is better than... my mom?s cooking which to me says a lot! This will be go to spot from now on! Can?t wait to try more of the menu Read more

Had a great lunch here. Would recommend any of the gyros as we tried the beef and falafel ones and accompanied them with the... Mediterranean fries. Could use a little bit more seating room for a bustling lunch time, but still had a great experience withgood service. Read more

Paella in Des Moines?!! Oh yes!! Flavory Bistro has 5 stars across the board when you look up reviews and it?s because their... food is exceptional. Mediterranean food and some Spanish influence with paella - wow!! Gyros are one of our favorites here butwe come here specifically for paella. The owner and chef, Lisa, can even make it vegan! Both are excellent inflavor. Restaurant is minimalistic in decor and style. Two cozy spots in the front of the restaurant seats larger parties.Possibly for reserve. Service is nice and can get very busy when business picks up during prime dining hours. For paella:Preorder head to order clams and mussels! But is traditionally made with scallops, jumbo shrimp and chicken. Love coming herefor date nights but also fun with a group of friends. Highly recommend! Read more

One of our favorite restaurants for sure. The lamb with the cheese is AMAZING. But everything we have had has been great. The... staff is super friendly as well. I love their elderflower tea. Can't wait to try the seafood paella as we have heard greatreviews on it. Read more

There is no other European restaurant in Central Iowa that compares! Tonight we ordered the Mediterranean Feast. With 2 salads,... lamb, chicken, falafel, hummus, pitas, and more- it was more than enough for our group of 4. Pro-tip, stop at Wine Styles nextdoor and get an amazing bottle of wine- and the cork fee is 1/2 off/ only $10! Last time we called ahead and made reservationsfor a giant Paella skillet to feed 4-6! The amount of seafood is amazing. I don?t think it?s on the menu- so call ahead sothey can shop for all the seafood! We love the ultra fresh ingredients & relaxed pace and chill atmosphere.

I like their dishes. The kabob Gyro is one of the best dishes there. Flafel and chicken are also good. Make sure to double check... the time before going since they are open during lunch and dinner time only (they start dinner time at 5 PM). Read more

Called ahead for the paella which was wonderful and plentiful. They dropped off a warm fresh basket of bread. She also let us... try her homemade cheese that was amazing. It tasted like it was aged but was a soft texture. Will definitely be going back manytimes. Read more
