14 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Des Moines

“Wonderful cozy place with EXCELLENT service, super friendly staff. The atmosphere is so welcoming you want to stay there longer. Try the Italian sodas with or without cream. I loved the kiwi soda with cream recommended by our fantastic waiter 😉“

“Amazing find on the way to SeaTac. The fusion idea works great and the sauce/crust/toppings ratio was perfect on our vegan pie. We got the samosas for breakfast before our early flight since everything at the airport will be closed. We'll be back every time we have a flight and highly recommend visiting this Best of 2025 Google Review awardee.“

“One of the many great Des Moines restaurants, if you haven’t been, you need too. Great hospitality and amazing food. Definitely a must!“

“We've lived in Des Moines for 30+ years and have never tried this teriyaki place and so glad we did today. Fast service and everything was on point. Regular chicken teriyaki was delicious and the spicy chicken was so good and spicy and both were huge portions. Egg rolls were great also. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“The service was amazing and the Pizza was super delicious! ❤The Oklahoma travelers“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is authentic and full of flavor. The fresh tortillas and fresh-squeezed orange juice are amazing, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. We had the tamales, menudo, and machaca, each dish was delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for real Mexican food done right.“

“Cool place with nice people, cold beer and great food.“

“I had an amazing breakfast experience! The Mushroom and Swiss omelet was delicious, and the price was totally worth it - $13 for a filling meal with hashbrowns and toast. But what really stood out was the top-notch service. It's refreshing to see such excellent customer care, it's a rare gem these days!“

“The pizza here is by far the best and my favorite in Seattle! The way they cook the cheese and pepperoni under it is ridiculously delicious! Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!“

“I’m visiting from Spokane where the food is trash. We were driving around late at night and it’s really cool you can find places that aren't regular fast food chains and teriyaki open past 8. The portion size is huge! Two of us shared a yakisoba bowl and we still have left overs. I like that it comes with rice and noodles. The younger man working was extremely pleasant and polite and the boba was good as well.“

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

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

“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.“
