You know what’s a struggle to get through? A 4 pm club meeting, on a Tuesday, when you haven’t eaten since breakfast and your stomach won’t stop growling. Luckily for me, the meeting I was on the way to was about to get a surprise dinner catered directly to me!

My content marketing club meeting was surprised with The Simple Greek’s catering, and it was such a fun experience. The restaurant wanted to gain some exposure, so they set up this up as a way to show us what they got.

The staff at The Simple Greek are so personable! When they catered our group, they set up all of their fresh, made from scratch food in an organized array. The food was set up so we could serve ourselves, utilizing the opportunity to personalize their Greek dishes.

There were a ton of options for each individual taste. When serving yourself, you could choose to start with pita bread and build from there, or use mixed or rice as a base. They brought different protein options, ranging from gyro to grilled chicken to even falafel as a vegetarian option. On top of proteins, they served plenty of delicious side options like garlic green beans or Greek village salad. The choices didn’t stop there, they brought two different sauce options, greek dressing and the classic tzatziki.

The Simple Greek treated us with dessert too! There was baklava for everyone to try, and it was out of this world delicious. We were all in a food coma after our surprise early dinner, and the whole room was blown away by just how good everything The Simple Greek laid out for us, a few students even grabbed a menu to take to another student organization they’re in, in the hopes they will get it catered! And I definitely know where I’m stopping for dinner next time I’m in Ankeny.

If you’re a fan of Greek food, you might struggle to find it here in Ames, where most of the food choices seem to fall in the same handful of categories. But, if you’re craving delicious Greek food, easy catering and great service, The Simple Greek is an excellent place to satisfy your cravings with fresh, healthy, made from scratch food.
