Food: Hot, fresh and delicious! Ordered the Mo'z box to-go which came out hot and ready. It comes with a chicken shawarma and fries. Obsessed with the garlic dipping sauce that comes with it. Atmosphere: Felt like I was back in Greece. The vibe is so cute with greenery over the ceiling and artwork. Could be a fun casual date night spot or a lunch spot. Seating: Booths and low top tables available About: They're a local family run business and if you like supporting local and love good food and shawarma's, it's a must-have. Definitely adding this into my rotation of spots. read more

"Do I order here or sit down..." roughly what I asked as well as the next guy who came in while we were eating. Whoever is at the front desk should proactively greet each person and ask "dining in or to go?" Instead the lady waited for me and the next person to takk with her first. Then she asked if we knew what we wanted. If they fix this, your answer should be "to go". While the ambiance is lovely, the fact they make you buy bottles of drinks instead of having cups of water or other drinks available really decreases the value of sitting in and cheapens the experience. The restaurant ambiance is also marred by all the items for sale like a local market. Perhaps it makes it feel more genuine, but definitely makes it feel less fine dining. That and the music gets interrupted by what is likely alarms or timers on the phone playing music. Perhaps it shouldn't be thought of as fine dining, and more of a foreign family diner. The service was nearly non-existent. As mentioned before you had to proactively ask how things worked, there were no refills as it's just bottles ... and the bottles just sit in a fridge. Outside of that she sat at the front desk on her phone, though she did ask how everything was... once... after we got it. She also thanked us for coming when we left. It took about 10 minutes to get food... not bad since the food seemed fresh. That said the food was good enough. I've had better chicken shawarmas, but nothing tasted bad. It's slightly above average experience hence the rating. I wouldn't go so far as to say you must try this place, but I wouldn't say don't come here either. I hope they improve the experience over time. This review is meant as constructive criticism. read more

The portions are very generous. Ate chicken shawarma & fries - both excellent. The inside decor is unique and inviting. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. We will be back. Definitely get the baklava! read more

So happy to have found mo'z. The food and the people who work here are just as enjoyable. Everything is so fresh and delicious, the restaurant is clean and very welcoming. Chicken shawarma is other worldly. From the River to the sea Palestine will be free read more

I had the gyro and it was fantastic. I got some falafels instead of fries and they were great too. The garlic sauce is so good. Get extra lol. The Palestine sodas are so good. Not as sweet as sodas here. read more

best gyro I've had in a long time! good portion and definitely fresh. I'll be back for sure

Got the mixed platter and it tastes pretty good! Was happy with the whole experience, everyone was nice, atmosphere was fine and all the components of the food were solid. I would happily come back here again but I felt like the food just wasn't standout enough for the five read more

Dined in and server took our order. The restaurant was practically empty. People picked up to-go orders. We didn't receive water. Then server asked us again after more than 30 minutes what we ordered. We finally got our food and water after about 45 minutes of waiting. Food was good but disappointed in the service. I had been there previously, and it was slow, but not that bad. read more

Excellent hummus, soft and warm pita bread. Friendly service. Great grocery options. Good for lunch.

Smaller restaurant but good take out food. Friendly service. Good gyros, smaller in size but good meat and flavor. Fries were hot and fresh. Will come back again. read more

This was an impromptu pick for lunch when I was in Des Moines yesterday (8/11/24). Great spot! Small dining room, simplified menu, but those aren't complaints. Plus, one in our party needed something gluten-free and the platters they offer here were a great option. I tried the chicken shawarma (my first ever!), which was very good, especially that sauce. Wish I would've gotten a little cup on the side for dipping. And the fries that were added as a side (for 4 bucks) were fresh and fantastic. Once again, however, I found a restaurant that sells pop individually; this time it was 20 oz. bottle instead of a can. Oh well. They've got a bunch of Mediterranean products for sale by the counter which looked intriguing but I didn't end up getting anything (the za'atar definitely piqued my interest, though). Sesame cookies, "angel kisses", all sorts of Turkish Delights, various types of tahini, and plenty of choices of feta in the cooler. If I knew how to make anything other than tzatziki sauce, I'd probably be going here for ingredients. A great place which I definitely recommend if you're looking for something hearty and a change from the same old-same old. read more

The food was to die for. You absolutely MUST get the chicken shawarma wrap, it is so deliciously flavourful you MUST!!

So freaking slow. No one there and too over 30 mins to get a shawarma. Food is not worth the wait or the price.

Great food in a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely try more items on the menu. The tiny supermarket in the store is inspiring for people who love to cook read more

My family love this food. Very quick service, super nice staff. Fantastic food. This real food!

We each tried something different on the menu. Everything was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent. I even picked up some Halva with pistachio from the groceries they have available. It was delicious! My family will be back. read more

First time being here, a small place, but a lot to offer. Food was delicious, I had the Chicken schwarma. The staff was very helpful in making suggestions of what I could do to make my own at home. Will definitely go back! read more
