Palms DSM offers flavorful Caribbean food with generous portions, providing a home-cooked feeling that feels like being at a friend's house. The menu features standout dishes such as jerk chicken, oxtail, chicken plate, honey suya wings, tacos, jollof rice, Mac and cheese, fried plantain, and rice & peas. The food is filling yet not heavy, and dishes like the oxtail are spiced and tender with cinnamon notes, while the jerk chicken is beautifully seasoned. Coconut candy yams and jollof rice are popular sides. Visitors often enjoy eating with their fingers, enhancing the authentic experience. The drinks menu includes the well-loved painkiller cocktail, mocktails, and other options, all complementing the flavorful meals. The decor and music create a perfect ambiance, and the staff is quick and friendly, making guests feel at home. The restaurant is a locally owned spot that provides genuinely home-cooked meals and has quickly become one of the top restaurants in Des Moines, winning 1st Place at the 2023 Smoke Out Hunger.
