IOWA

In case you've been wondering, Flying Mango began catering and doing farmers' markets under this same name way back in 1997. The restaurant came about simply because the space became available and Suzanne & Mike weren't thinking clearly. We had no interest in trying to reinvent food. We went with choices that were popular catering requests -- basic, down-home style -- just from a wide range of regions. We are known for our generous portions of BBQ, Southern, Cajun/Creole meals, plus a touch of Caribbean fun. We will tell you now - save room for dessert! 

Owners and friends Naftaly Stramer and Ofer Sivan created Oasis the Falafel Joint in the summer of 2004. After meeting for lunch in downtown Iowa City, the duo lamented that (at the time) falafel was nowhere to be found and vowed to right this wrong. Naftaly had just left the tech industry and Ofer had just completed his degree in engineering – an unlikely starting place for what would become the world’s best hummus, falafel and fries.
