Flavory Bistro

First time and definitely won’t be my last! Popped in for a late lunch and had the chicken gyro sandwich and a refreshing vodka mule. Service was friendly/welcoming and the food was quite tasty. Can’t wait to try the salads!

Great, friendly service! My husband and I had the gyro bowls and they were to die for! Used such fresh ingredients, meat was delicious, and everything was quick! We could also tell they were very thorough in their cleaning. Also very family friendly. Love this place!

Very friendly staff. We had a very short wait to get seated as they were packed. They had one person working the whole floor, but we really didn’t have to wait too long for anything. Everything was fresh and very tasty. The mushrooms were one of our favorite things, which sounds strange, but they were so buttery and flavorful. There wasn’t anything on the platter plate that we didn’t like. Good value for your money.

Got a table quick on a Friday night, but the place was busy. Waiter made sure to ask if there were any dietary restrictions or allergies. Food was fresh and delicious! Will return!

Ate here tonight and it was AMAZING! The service was great and the food was delicious! We had our baby with us and the owner brought out some hummus and cheese for her (I got to try some too and it was SO good). When we told her it’s our first time trying this restaurant she brought out a few samples of bread and cheese that we will definitely coming back for! I can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu!

2023 Update: Paella was still amazing and staff was great. Still the best restaurants in Ankeny! 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 many times.

We decided to try a restaurant we hadn’t been to one day and picked this place since light let food settles better on summer days. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of those places where you can’t stop eating even if you’re full. We shared a beef gyro, the smoked salmon plate, and the Mediterranean French fries. Then finished off with the baklava. We can already tell there wouldn’t be anything on the menu we don’t like. Everything was extremely delicious and we couldn’t stop talking about visiting again. I’m already excited to try something new next time we go!

I have been to Greece and this does not taste anywhere near real Greek food. It’s dry, flavorless, and not fresh. On top of that the servers are rude to customers, argue with employees, and the older guy yells at his employees in front of customers. My first experience I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish and specified dietary needs. The dish came out with pieces of meat, and when I asked why the server said the dish is frozen and when they cook it they just strain the meat out of it. The manager with the iPad purse eventually came around and noticed I wasn’t eating it. I explained why and he apologized but did not offer to refund or replace. My second experience I got takeout soup. Halfway through my drive the soup melted the cups. I had to return twice and on the third time the blonde cook accused me of trying to get free food because “this has never happened to anyone else”. The iPad purse manager came up to defend me because I had laid out four bags of melted soup on their counter. The family got into a screaming fight in front of the whole restaurant, which I really regret not recording. They eventually just offered me cold cans of soup!! So I just left and I will never be back.
