Who knew you could get such good felafel in Iowa? The usual haunts in Manhattan might have to step up their game if they get wind of this place. Wonderful, fresh vegetables, great pita, and great...

This place is FANTASTIC. While talking to numerous people about restaurants, Oasis was always mentioned. We ended up trying our first falafal pita pocket at an outdoor stall. The pita tasted homemade,...

this has become the default staple when we don't have time to cook. always good, always quick, and if they make a mistake, you'll be rewarded with a free meal (its not a policy, but it did happen to...

Sweet Moses with Roses, this place is an amazing experience unto itself. The wife and I had time to kill before her haircut at G-Spot. Our growling stomach sacks directed us toward Oasis like a...

Many people call Oasis the best falafel in Iowa City, but when your competition is a franchise where patrons can enjoy ranch dressing and Fritos with their falafel, that's not particularly a huge...

I love Mediterranean food. I really enjoyed the chicken pita and hummus. The pita bread was a little dry; wish it were a little bit more moist or warmer. But, overall it was very good. Comparable to...

Knowing that the Owner is Middle Eastern and holds true to the culture, it should be expected that nothing less than authentic and delicious would be served. Their falafel is perfectly cooked and...

I'm pretty sure this is my first visit to Iowa City. I was actually surprised to see how cool this town was. It reminded me of Lawrence, KS or a mini Austin. For those that don't know, Iowa City is...

I love Middle Eastern food and this is the best in Iowa City. It is delicious! Their falafel is great and I recommend topping it with the red cabbage. Their Turkish coffee is good and strong too.

So good I could cry just thinking about eating here. I'm on the West Coast for the summer, and I have tried a lot of falafel places. None of them even comes close to Oasis. The pitas are made with...

Super good falafel pita with the best hummus in town hands down! Also the best baklava I've had in IC too! The staff are friendly and food is usually served pretty quickly. It can get a bit too...

This is easily my favorite restaurant in Iowa City. The food is always hot, the atmosphere is very relaxed, they are vegetarian/vegan friendly, make most (if not all?) of their food from scratch, and...

This falafel tastes as good if not better than those I've had in New York City. Sometimes I stop and buy a few falafel as a snack during the day since they sell them by the piece too. Eat em plain...

This place probably has the best falafel in town. Their hummus is to die for, and can be found at the local grocery stores and delis as well. Good fries, too! Not expensive by any means, and a great...

The best falafel I have ever had. Everything tastes very fresh and I like the little seating area they have in back.

The one and only time I ever ate here with a friend, about 30 hours later, the two of us were puking for several days straight. It could have been the flu, certainly...but the food tasted a bit off...

For those of you looking for an alternative to incomparable The Hamburg Inn no. 2, this is it. Just a few doors south of the HBI2, Oasis serves fantastic middle eastern food. I go for the whole...

Cheap, quick, and GOOD. The best Middle Eastern food in Iowa City. Order any of the platters and be sure to choose the babaganoush and red cabbage salad as your side dishes.

This brand-new place is too good to be true, for Iowa or anywhere. Ample & savory portions of falafel (they make theirs from scratch), kebab, ganoush, hummus. The service is fast and inevitably friendly. The...
