“Had it on our list for Ankeny Chinese restaurants and so glad we tried it. Small place, 3 big tables. Very attentive staff. Recommended good combos. Fair priced food. Can’t beat 4 crab rangoons for $2.50! The packaging is super cute and high quality. They cooked the food after we ordered it so we waited maybe 5-10 minutes but it was piping hot when they delivered it to our table. Will 100% be back again. So glad we found this Ankeny gem!”

“Ankeny has opened a new Indian restaurant that promises an authentic Indian dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm, inviting aromas and an ambiance that balances modern decor with traditional Indian elements. Paneer 65, Chicken Pakora, and Apollo Shrimp are absolute standouts. Biryanis are rich in flavor and absolutely delicious and Gulab jamun hits the perfect level of sweetness.”

“I drive rideshare. I had never heard of Main Street Cafe and Bakery until a few days ago when I dropped a couple of young people off who work there. I asked about it, and they were excited to tell me their favorite items. Yesterday I dropped a nice employee off and I looped around and went to the drive through, intending to order something to share with my wife. I didn't see the dessert items on the menu, so I asked and the young lady named pretty much everything from cookies to cinnamon rolls, etc. She was efficient yet not rude, and I knew they were starting to get busy so I decided quickly on some cookies. I ordered my wife and I one each of the "Monster" and "Chocolate Chip" cookies, so I could surprise her when she got off work that day. long story short, the service was fast and friendly, and we both enjoyed the cookies. We look forward to exploring more of your menu.”

“This is my favorite pizza place now. I try to visit them weekly. They have the best pizza around. Their entire menu is great but my personal favorites are the Vodka Roni and the Chicken Parmesan. So good!! They have great daily deals and every one there is so friendly and kind!”

“Amazing food, great staff, fun atmosphere. Worth the 45 minute drive!!!”

“My husband and I visited Hawkers Kitchen on 11/22 and loved it! We had the shrimp pancakes, egg tart, roti John sandwich, gochujang sandwich and strawberry boba fizz drink. Everything was delicious and made to order. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They have lifetime customers now. :-)”

“The Asian server was super nice, all smiles, and accommodating! The food came in fast. Something that we seldom experience on the Southside.”

“I just went today for the first time….all I can say is thank God I live in Waukee and have to drive to them, otherwise I would be there every day! My experience was amazing. Macaroons being gluten free are an added bonus too. I am using them for my son’s Wedding Rehearsal dessert coming up. 10 out 10 5⭐️ Loved all the options.”

“A lot of their cookies are very tasty. After my family and I tried Crumbl once without even knowing if we would like it or not we became obsessed. And now we get cookies almost every week.”
