Restaurants in Des Moines

“Great little spot in Des Moines WA--quaint little area too. Clam chowder is amazing, crab linguini = amazing, and the big combo platterhas all the great fried seafood flavors you want! We also got the lobster tail dimner with a loaded baked potato = delicious. Very nice/attentive server too! There's also a bar!! We got a lot to share so we probably spent more than most would. Oh, almost forgot, the fudge brownie and ice cream made for a ridiculous finish!”

“Such a cozy atmosphere and a great location. Been here already a few times and it was incredible. Food and service are exceptional. One of my fav date night spots.”

“I absolutely love this place! The food is delicious, the staff are fantastic, and it's a cute little place conveniently located. You should definitely try it, and I recommend the shawarma sandwich.”

“Sitting in my car shaking and crying, barely able to compose myself to drive right now. Those who frequent Auntie Irene's beware of the owner. She just yelled at me infront of the whole shop, about parking out front. It sent me into a anxiety riddened, ptsd fueled state. There were zero parking stalls when l pulled into the coffee shop. l was grabbing my one coffee and leaving. l would be there for 5 minutes maybe 10 at most. I parked snuggled up along the the flower bed north of the shop, in front of the rhodedendron/north of the deck. On the other side of the flower bed is parking stalls. Just to exactly detail where l was parked. Completely out of anyone's way. There is no posted sign saying "no parking here", nor is it a painted fire lane. If that were the case, of course l wouldn't park there. That's obvious. I was not blocking her drive thru window line or blocking either entrance to her shop. I wasn't in the way of people needing to back out ,since they have to turn the other way to exit. After placing my coffee order, an waiting about 5 minutes at a table, she came out of no where and reprimanded me like a child....She could have politely introduced herself and asked me to move. She never even told me who she was. For all l knew, she was a crazed lady bossing me around. No "hi", "hello" or "how are you?". She just marched up to me without identifying shes the owner and started in on me. I would have had zero problem being asked to move, if she had gone about it in a decent manner, that most "adults" are capable of. Her tone was egregious and severely uncalled for. Over the years, l have heard rumors about an aggressive, petite, blonde haired, older lady named Susie as the owner. That was the only reason l deduced this must be the owner, becuase like l stated she did not tell me who she was at all. But, l had only ever seen her maybe 3 times, in all the years I've been going there. I have never spoken to her or even had an one on one encounter with her. So, for her to treat me, complete stranger, who is paying for a comfortable place to enjoy coffee like this, this is wildly uncalled for. I'm a full grown adult mind you, though lve been told, l look young for my age. Even if l was young, it still would not make this encounter okay at all. l was so taken a back, l couldn't even mutter a reply to her. l ran out of the shop and immediately reparked my car. There were stalls open at this point. l had to smoke a cigarette to calm down before l went back in, it rattled me so badly. l was barely able to muster up the courage to go back in for my coffee, without feeling like l was going to start breaking out into tears, if l saw her or had to encounter her again to get my coffee. I came back in, and by then she was no where to be seen... She wasn't there to thank me for moving and understanding her concern. Nothing, she just disappeared. She ambush disciplined me and disappeared, which made it even weirder and more upsetting...Anyways, when l came back in the staff asked me where l went? l didn't want to tell them what happened, so l pretended like l didn't hear their question and barely got out a stiffled, whimper of a "thank you" to them. Rushing out of the shop before they had a chance to see me upset.. I didn't want them to think they were the reason l was in this clearly emotional state. They didn't do anything wrong, so l wasn't about to complain to them about their own boss.There would be nothing they could do about her actions, if she's in charge, ya know? When l got back to my car, l broke down in tears, past PTSD trauma flooding in. I've had experiences like this with some past elder women bosses, in my younger years. I've been subject to 3 very unprofessional older female boss's. Who, in over the years had treated me completely horribly and were very verbally abusive. One even grabbed my arm so hard she left bruising. All of them traumatizing me, using their p”

“I had an amazing experience at Tandoori Slice! I tried the Paneer Tikka Pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy and tasted incredibly fresh. The flavors were balanced so well—nothing was overdone, and every bite had the perfect taste. It was easily one of the best Indian-style pizzas I’ve had.

I also ordered the Alfredo Pasta, and it was just as impressive. It was rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

If you’re anywhere near Des Moines, Washington, I highly recommend stopping by Tandoori Slice. The food is outstanding, and you’ll definitely want to come back again. Highly recommended!”

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.”

“My Mother-in-law just passed away and this was one of her favorite restaurants... especially their chocolate mousse! 💜 I had a very special request for the restaurant and Willy, the manager I spoke with, made it happen. I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to my father in law. Willy was so kind, professional and flexible! Thank you for granting a wish and adding a bright spot. You made someone smile today at a tough time.”

“I personally love there original & classic chicken teriyaki. That chicken on the drill is just tasty especially adding that spicy Siracha Sauce 😌 I worked in the Des Moines Theater for a couple years and I always looked forward to eating there on my Fridays 👌 they never let me down.”

“Dropped by in the 4th. The catfish was the best I've ever had. Rice and beans were rockin'! The gator kickers with spicy ranch were spectacular. Never had those before. The bartender, Kat, took great care of us and had us laughing the whole time.”

“10/10 experience! Very cozy atmosphere with friendly faces. I really enjoyed my food. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to eat. If you’re visiting Seattle for the first time, this is the place you want to be!!!”

This is going to be our go to spot! It was fresh , delicious and our bowl was full! Shoutout to Luis! He made our visit absolutely memorable. He was so helpful to my husband while ordering and he came to our table to get to know us! He even treated us to a new dish that was like a fried taco with beef and potatoes. Amazing! 10:10 highly recommend”

“The food is spectacular here! I came for my Birthday and was BLOWN AWAY. New favorite Chinese spot. 12 out of 10!”

“I was two hours late to picking my girlfriend up from the airport. She got in the car opposite of happy. I had no choice but to go to the place where happiness comes true. It was just one bite of orange chicken, and the sweet service of the young man working tonight, and I, once again had a happy wife. I would absolutely recommend,
and will be back. Sincerely, a man who escaped the dog house.”

“this is the best food i like it sooo much i can eat here all day like its so good”

“To go or sit at picnic table outside! Delicious food!”

“The food is fantastic! I’m a gluten free person and the staff and owner have been very accommodating!”

“I usually order thru the app and pick up through drive thru. Seems like the mgmt changed awhile back and I couldn't be happier with the change. I never have issues with my order and the staff is so friendly and helpful.”

“Stopped in for the first time and had a great experience. The staff was welcoming, the food came out fast, and everything tasted great. The karaoke crowd was a lot of fun, and the DJ kept the night moving with great energy.

I also liked that they have pool tables, darts, and even ping pong, which you don’t see very often. If you’re looking for a laid-back sports bar with plenty to do and tons of TVs for the games, this is definitely worth checking out.”

“Went to pick up a friend and we were looking for a late night place to grab food. He noticed the 24 hour sign and so we made a U-turn and headed into the drive-thru. Drive-thru is a little slow. I commented to my friend, "this place has to be awesome for the wait to be this long..." and... it was awesome. ordered the carne asada burrito and my friend ordered the carnitas burrito and an asada taco. so, the wait in the drive-thru was WORTH it. really big portions. actually eating the other half of my burrito right now and it still tastes great even after having been sitting in my fridge overnight and then nuked in the microwave. definitely will be back. next time though, i think going inside will be the plan.”

“Great chicken and mashed potatoes and friendly service”
