9 Best Indian Restaurants near Urbandale

“You have enjoyed American and African, Italian and German, Thai and Burmese, Mexican and Ecuadorian. You are drawn to new flavors and textures, healthy options, seeking greater depth of flavor and heart-warming seasonings. Try Desi Bites in Urbandale, a real fast-casual gem, for a meal that leave you and your friends with an odd instinctually invoked smile and warm core, hours after you’ve thanked your waiter. Indian cuisine, infused with thousands of years of influence from Ayurvedic medicine, can be very good for you when you choose carefully. Low in fat and high in protein, generally high in healthy fats, it has many health benefits, including immune support, resistance to cancer, inflammation, and chronic illness. Because Indian food is full of variety and complex flavors, often just a small portion will satisfy your taste buds and help you burn fewer calories. Turmeric, cardamom, clove, ginger, garlic, coriander, fenugreek and cumin seeds all so good for the body and mind. And it tastes so so good! Maybe you find a dish or two you’re wild about while you’re sitting down? Look up the ingredients to prepare it at home and find them just 20 feet away in the grocery section. Seriously can’t rave enough about this place. Enjoy!!“

“The staff is super friendly food is so good!!!“

“Amruth Indian Grill is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Excellent service and delicious food! The Kadai Vegetarian dish was amazing and complete with carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, and snap peas in an amazing curry. My friend had a Shrimp dish that was divine with a kick of spice. We also ordered Garlic Naan that complemented our lunch. Highly recommended!“

“The food here is to die for; we will definitely be back many times.“

“I’ve never had an experience here less than 10/10. Always perfection. Both dine in and takeaway are wonderful. The other night we ordered Paneer Tiki Masala and Vegetarian Thali for takeout and everything was packaged thoughtfully. When I got there for pickup I got a complimentary mango lassi (I think my arm in a cast maybe played a role in that) but I was very thankful for the extra treat. Do not sleep on Kathmandu!“

“Fantastic food and fantastic service!“

“I rarely review places, but this has to be hands down one of my favorites in Des Moines. The food and service is phenomenal, and I know what to expect every time I go there. Highly recommend the chicken Makhani, Saag Paneer and the mango ice cream!“
