Shawarma City - Des Moines

So glad we found this place and gave it a try! The food was excellent. Falafel perfectly crisp on the outside. The chicken tikka was so so flavorful and juicy. The rice was also delicious with a mellow allspice flavor. They served this beautiful and delicious hummus-type dish to our table without us ordering it, so I assume it’s a free thing they serve (like chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant). I couldn’t catch the name of the dish, but it was so so good. Will definitely be back.

I went here for the first time mid afternoon on a Friday. The floors and tables were not clean, and menus were greasy/sticky. The place was empty with no other customers there. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter for take out and this is what I got for $14.

I love this place. Ate here the first time. It was delicious. I forgot to take pictures of the food.

YummmmmI ordered a family platter for 2 hungry adults and it was so good. The rice and meats were all hot and delicious. The salad was fresh and crunchy and tasty. The hummus was smooth and creamy.Lovely food.

The shawarma there is amazing! With the garlic sauce it is even better. I literally drive to this place from where I live (45 minutes car drive) almost weekly to enjoy the shawarma.
