Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with homemade delights and an enthusiastic owner, perfect for those seeking flavorful experiences.
I ordered a special catering meal for a family dinner and was absolutely blown away by both the service and the food! They went above and beyond—creating a custom menu just for us, making flatbread per my special request (even a gluten-free version!), and communicating quickly and kindly throughout the whole process. When I came to pick it up, the staff was so friendly and welcoming—they even had me sampling things at the counter! I genuinely felt like I was at home. Everything was delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Step into a nostalgic 60's diner vibe with a cozy atmosphere and well-seasoned dishes that keep guests coming back for more.
Googled restaurants in Ankeny because we were there today. Chose this one because of the good reviews and LOTS of gluten free options! My daughter has celiac disease and it's so hard to find places with gluten free options, especially bread/buns. Very pleased with our meals, friendly staff, cleanliness, and very fair prices especially for the quantity of food. We will be back!
Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh
Gluten-free options
1550 N Ankeny Blvd Suite 100, Ankeny, IA 50023, USA
Great spot known for its fresh and tasty offerings, with helpful staff and unique last-minute takeout options.
My wife and I like coming here and enjoying the Mediterranean food, since they usually have gluten free options available. It was a last minute decision to choose to go and knowing full well that it was 8:45pm, I went anyways with guilt knowing it is getting close to closing time. I got into the store at 8:52pm, and I went in to get an order for my wife to go. The workers behind the counter asked 'What do I want?' I asked if I could just do a gluten free wrap or pita to go. They said they only working on online orders for the last ten minutes of the store being open. So, I said okay, no argument because it's late and just looked at my watch saying 8:53 and the sign on the door saying 9pm. I am just wanting clarification on closing times and expectation from the restuarant.
