Restaurants in Des Moines

“Best Indian food I've tasted in WA! My hubs & I went there on a whim and was pleasantly surprised with every bite. At first we weren't hungry enough for a buffet however, the spread was visually stunning that I'm so glad we jumped in. We absolutely loved the mezze sampler appetizers, which was delightfully light. The Manchurian gobi was crispy and savory. I'm not a vegetarian but the available options convinced me that perhaps I could be about that life. As anticipated there was an abundance of curry but I stayed faithful to butter chicken. My gosh the chicken was tender and smooth. The dessert options were minimal but still hit the spot, specifically the carrot halwa paired with some naan. Don't doubt... Just do it!!!”

“Hanging and other flowering pots outside are as welcoming as the atmosphere inside. The most attentive, quick and friendly service. The chowder and fish were borh really good. What a perfect experience.”

“This is quite tasty pizza. We tried the pizzas that we probably couldn’t get at most places a.k.a. the Indian flavored pizzas. They were delicious, but I could’ve used even more Indian flavor. We tried that chicken tikka and butter chicken varieties and the chicken was beautifully flavored, and we loved the cilantro and bright flavors of the pizza. The crust was pretty good too. The small is the size of a one person pizza or so. We also tried the paneer pakoras but were not in those as much. Couldn’t taste the salty snap of the paneer. There are some interesting sodas from India, additional beverages, snacks available too. The space inside is big enough to dine in but parking is a bit tricky as it’s located around the block at the attached apartment building.”

“Amazing food and service! Had the gyoza, chicken karaage, ex-girlfriend and des Moines rolls, matcha tiramisu cake, and jasmine green tea. Everything was delicious!”

“It’s a cute little roundabout drive-through it has the sweetest girls and it’s just a really good concoction and twist on bubble tea.Kid-friendliness: Kid drink size available!”

“Auntie Irene’s is the place you can go to for a delicious pick-me-up or for a sit down breakfast/lunch spiced up with some card and board games. The first step in the door or into the drive thru you are greeted by amazing staff who remember your order by the third visit. They go above and beyond with absolutely everything; and I always leave with my order and my day instantly better just with one interaction.”

“I can't say enough great things about this sweet neighborhood spot. The vibe is friendly and the food is yummy. We usually pop in for a hot sandwich on a quick lunch date. I highly recommend!”

“Casual (and busy!) American Chinese restaurant across from the marina. Absolutely delicious and large, shareable portions. We came in about 8pm and didn’t realize they close at 830 and the staff was attentive and very friendly despite that. I will be back to try more of the menu!”

“I enjoyed every single bite, the service here was amazing, the interior was excellent, but most importantly the food. The food was amazing, very authentic! The coffee was perfect, it hits every spot! If you’re looking to try Authentic Vietnamese food I definitely recommend this place!”

“My daughter brought me here for my Birthday. The food was delicious and fresh! We got the chicken, bánh mì, sandwiches, shrimp, spring rolls, and the avacado and Macha smoothie. It was fresh ingredients and no powder. It was on point! I would definitely recommend! Chloe was really sweet and welcoming. She gave us a small piece of flan, on the house for my Birthday. Go see Chloe at Tea Cup, she will hook it up!”

“Servers were remarkable! Above and beyond politeness and customer service. We extremely enjoyed the atmosphere here and the view. They can accommodate private events! I've eaten better eggs benedicts, there's a missing wow factor to it. Warm Kahlua drink is very good. Their potatoes is my favorite! - a perfect kick to it. Salmon could be more tender. I would definitely come back for the view and try other items.”

“Been here two times. It's pretty good. The teriyaki sauce is good too. Finally found a good teriyaki place near home! The girl at the front was super sweet and very ”

“It’s Seattle hot dogs in a small dive setting. Had all the best hot dogs and sausages you could want along with a complimentary extra topping and sauce bar. We had drinks across the way, games at waterland arcade and had their salmon cream cheese hot dog meal to share topped with chili and other toppings. 10/10 for Seattle hot dogs at a local joint. Fun find!”

“Stepping inside, I had a feeling this place would be a hidden gem, especially with the Dollar Tree nearby and Brent Faiyaz playing in the background--the ambiance was just perfect. The service was top-notch--quick and efficient. And let me tell you about the PHO--it was absolutely phenomenal! Each bite was like a journey, telling a different story--so complex yet so simple. A truly unforgettable experience.”
