8 Best Indian Restaurants near Des Moines

“My daughter and I visits Spices of Nepal for the first time today. We were very pleased with everything we ordered. We will definitely be back!!“

“Nice place, clean, friendly staff. I couldn't eat food from Buffet so can't rate food. Waiter said it wasn't spicy. Sorry but 2 of us couldn't eat anything from Buffet, but they still charged us 13.99 a plate. I did have a piece of bread. Came home and made a cho milkshake. I better stick to food I know.“

“Amazing food. Buffet is the best with delicious favorites. Chai tea is also a huge hit for us. They keep you coming back for more. One time you'll be hooked and planning to return.“

“I enjoy my dinner. The food was very good. If spicy food is your thing, this is your place. Also, ask for the Kingfisher Beer. You will need it. Curry Fish was my order and I enjoyed the spicy fish and the beer. One thing that could be improved would be the loudness of the room. It seemed the tile floor or something helped to make the room more noisy that it should be. However I enjoyed my visit. I would eat here again.“

“Authentic Indian food cooked to perfection! Being from Kolkata, I am very critical about proper seasoning, tasty and authentic flavors! Srikanth, the Executive Chef is definitely doing wonders and he is an amazing person!! Ravi is also a wonderful human being,another co-owner! The Veg Manchurian hits the spot, the Goat Fry Biriyani is truly amazing, the Apollo Fish as well as the Masala Chai! I am going to be a regular now! This is definitely my go-to Indian restaurant in the Des Moines metro area! Super happy! Super satiated! Srikanth is very passionate about cooking and that shows when you taste every item in the restaurant! It’s phenomenal! Do give it a try! You will understand what true Indian food feels like! 🫶“

If you're looking to enjoy fresh and authentic Nepali cuisine, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. It sounds like their goat curry is particularly delicious, which makes it a must-try dish. The cleanliness and excellent service at the restaurant are also standout features. I really like the suggestion to check the restroom to gauge the cleanliness of a restaurant. The good hygiene and friendly staff also reflects the professionalism of the establishment. Additionally, the unique feature of allowing customers to directly contact the owner is a great idea. This system enables immediate feedback and helps improve the service quality. The prices seem reasonable, making it a suitable place to dine. If you're craving authentic Nepali flavors, I recommend giving Kathmandu Restaurant a try.“

“We love Zaika and wish they would bring back their Thali meals (just for lunch?) It's a great way for those of us who aren't super familiar with Indian cuisine to sample smaller portions. As always, great service, fresh ingredients, and delicious food.“
