our story

We know how to cook in Morroco.

Karam’s Mediterranean Grill is the brainchild of Iowa resident Hamid Karam. With over 15 years of work in the food service industry and a love of cooking delicious homemade Mediterranean cuisine, Hamid first learned the art of cooking from his mother and family while growing up in Morocco.

Immigrating to the United States in 2002, Hamid began his career in the food service industry working with Tyson Foods and learning all about beef production. Hamid then went on to work for Iowa’s own West Liberty Foods, where he furthered his experience in food service management and food preparation working as a team lead in a meat processing facility. Additional experience came with work in fish production with some employment in Alaska’s own Dutch Harbor.

You can find Karam’s Mediterranean Gill, serving great food all over the Des Moines area at many popular events and locales. We would love to meet you, and have you try some of the delicious items on our menu. Click Read More to learn more about us.
