35 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in West Des Moines

“Delicious food! Veggie spring rolls, butter chicken, and garlic naan. Try it out!“

“The best costumer service and incredible food!!“

“Celebrated or anniversary here and it was fantastic! Be sure to make reservations. Everything was top notch from the great drinks, to delicious food and superb service!“

“Fleming’s is our go to for special occasions! Best service ever!“

“Super cool vibes in here. It is hip hop themed with graffiti art of rappers on the wall, and they have a fire playlist of old school classics. The breakfast egg rolls were phenomenal especially with the cilantro sriracha sauce. The biscuit sandwiches were great, it was hard to choose which one I wanted, and the pancakes here are absolutely ginormous. I recommend the iced chai, it was crafted to perfection. Next time I'll have to get the mimosa flight, it looked like a good crowd pleaser for sharing. Service and wait was way faster than I thought it would be, especially for how busy they were on a Sunday morning for brunch. I could tell the staff was hustling and working well together to get people in as quickly as possible. Thank you!“

“Just had my sons bachelor party there tonight. What a incredible venue, staff, and activity this is. They definitely provide extra mile service. Bravo to your team. My son and his friends loved it.❤️“

“Drove 1.5 hours to get to this place. Mostly because I read reviews of them brewing gluten free beer. And having gluten free options to eat. Place had a nice feel to it. A fun atmosphere. Not busy when we went. The pickle tickle beer is the only GF beer. Was truly like drinking alcoholic pickle juice. So what ever you like... The rest are sours that are GF. No other beers are. We tried them all. They were so very sweet. Liked a couple but not a big fan. Had to try though because I am Celiac and was excited to have the offering them. Food...well.... A salad was suggested...but that never goes over well when I ask Payinh to eat out. But then they said they have gluten free buns... So that meant I could have Burger. Anyway..asked a few more questions and then added the bacon and brie burger. Asked about the fries and was told they were gluten free. What I had was good but no balsamic, no granny smith apple slices.... These things should have been on the burger. But the burger itself was pretty good. The Gf bun was prepay nicely and didn't fall apart right away. Fries were mushy. Didn't see the server again until the bill. Food sounded really cool but just didn't meet the hype. Nothing was really terrible but nothing great either.Dietary restrictions: Sours are GF. Very sweet. Gluten free buns.“

“Awesome service, awesome food, and great Whiskey choices.“

“Great time. Service was great. Shots were awesome“

“Always amazing Fresh food! One of my favorites in Des Moines! Amazing Service too! Hidden little gem Restaurant“

“Ordered online- no contact delivery. Pizza came 20 minutes before the time quoted and was piping hot and delicious!“

“Best NY Pizza in the Midwest. I grew up in NY where freedom as a kid meant having $1 and being old enough to walk to the corner pizzaria on your own - or having $2 so you could bribe an older sibling to go with you if you weren't old enough to go alone. Plenty of places call themselves NY pizza, but don't come close. The pizza and pasta at TONY is authentic NY. The garlic knots and zepoles are perfect. It's our first stop whenever we're in Des Moines.“

“I was very impressed!!! I really enjoyed the privacy curtains. The food was very good cooked perfectly! the service was perfect as well very polite and checked in frequently to be sure everything was good and we had everything we needed. I will be back and recommend to all my friends! If I had 1 complaint I guess I'd say the prices but in reality you get what you pay for all around here. It's worth it to me! I do not recommend this as a restaurant for kids. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“This place is just amazing first for most, food was right! Fresh fish, full flavor soups ! Atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Come as you are but most important the service is above and beyond.LaLa our server/owner treats This place like your best friend and I’m an out of towner! Way to make us feel welcome.“

“We LOVE it here! We come frequently! The food and drinks are amazing - the staff is wonderfully friendly and attentive. And it’s always fast!! I can’t say enough good things!Kid-friendliness: Our 5 year old looooves their tacos- it’s so nice to have a kid and family friendly spot!“

“food is amazing and staff is super friendly!!“

“I booked a small private tour and tasting event. Richie was fantastic. The whole thing was very personal and intimate compared to most other tours of this type I’ve done. Worth every penny and I would recommend to anyone who has an interest in this kind of thing.“

“We had lunch today here and it was excellent service and great food!! Thanks for making our lunch so enjoyable!!“

“Awesome food, awesome staff, and great location. The first time I came here I thought why is this restaurant out in the middle of nowhere? Now it’s becoming more developed around the area and it fits that gap for an area that is somewhat out the way. It’s the perfect place to stop on my way home after work. I like to stop for a beer or two while I wait for my take home Pizzas. Trust me if you like Fong’s pizza, you will really like this menu!“

“One of the best steak burritos ever! Their hot sauce is perfect too!“

“I was looking for a unique place with a plant based option in the Des Moines area. They had a really delicious vegan sausage pizza and hummus. The dough they make has a really nice chew to it, and it is cooked to perfection. Along with the really tasty food, they also have 100 beers to choose from. There are lots of local beer choices from all around Iowa. They also have crowlers that they will fill and cap for you at that moment. If you're in the area, give them a try.“

“This location was very clean, including the food bars which was nice to see. Our server was on top of keeping our drinks full. I kept asking about the app code and ended up not getting my points but we don't make it all that often anyway. The cooks were working hard but could have been more attentive to keeping food separated.“

“It’s 5 O’Clock— Friday Night! Why not cozy over to Gilroy’s Pub for a Lemonade Smash Mocktail with agave nectar muddled together with assorted flavors of lemon. Not to be greedy —- but the spinach dip is heavenly — as well as my main entree that had a plethora of shaved steak rounding out the Philly Cheesesteak—simply delicious. Holden, my charismatic wait staff, was helpful and very attuned to house favorites on the menu—an excellent server!Parking: Well marked with easy in and out.“

“Amazing little shop! Stopped for lunch with my family after taking my dad to some doctors appointments in Des Moines. I had the #1 with Italian dressing. My husband had the meatball sub. Both of us agree it’s the best sandwich we’ve ever had!“

“We have been eating at Tasty Tacos for years. We have traveled the US and had tacos in many, many locations. Tasty’s soft shell tacos are by far the best we have tasted. We leave Iowa for six or seven months each year and can never wait to get back to the restaurant. We try to replicate while we’re away by using their seasoning and salsa. Not bad, but we cannot duplicate the puffy soft shells.“

“Every year our worship team (12-14 ppl) has their Christmas appreciation dinner here. Phenomenal food and great service every single time! So many great entrees and we’ve tried many items on the menu. We are well taken care of, excellent food and price. Meg and the staff are wonderful!“

“Chelsey was our server tonight and did an amazing job! The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great“

“Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was clean and food was great. Perfect place to meet for Thanksgiving.“

“Very friendly and helpful staff. They genuinely seem to appreciate their customers. Food was delicious. Tried Boba tea for first time. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Teriyaki House.“

“Great service! Yummy food!“

“Best Mexican restaurant in DesMoines. The staff are also a great asset. Quick and very friendly. Love their salsa, cheese dip and my favorite entre is their Pollo Monterrey!!“

“Great place love the atmosphere“

“I wanted more food options, truth be told it was not what I expected I guess I was thinking more food court like and someone had told me food truck options but that was not the case which was NOT a problem at all.my husband and I both had brawtwurst and shares truffle fries, a drink and a bar beverage and is was $56. They were out of a few options on the menu, mainly seafood options, which I wanted shrimp.you order from the QR code on the tables or the kiosk when you enter.Nick which we believe was the manager was nice, approachable and appeared to be "not too good to work" he would grab something if we randomly asked as they were not busy for a Tuesday afternoon right after at.patricks day.Bathrooms were clean.Free refills on non alcoholic drinks.It would be a hug place to have a party.The distillery is separate from the food hall, I wasn't aware until I asked, I thought the distillary was were the drinks came from they are apparently two separate businesses.“

“Awesome local spot with all the standard options. I got the Royal Family Dinner meal which could have fed two people and is a great deal for ~$13 (includes everything pictured). The food was cooked fresh and fast, and the owners are very nice. Will be returning regularly.Parking: Located in a strip mall with ample parking“

“really good food in one of the historic places. ☺️“
