Their business model has changed, they no longer have a physical location but they are present at the Downtown Farmers' Market when we have in person and they also offer delivery and pick up. Its been hard for me to get fresh and healthy food the last couple months, so this company has been lifesaver for my health! They offered a wonderful range of juices, smoothies, plant based food options such as taco meat, veggie burgers, black bean brownies, salad dressings and mac and cheeze sauce as well meal kits! The owner is not only talented at the food she makes but also very generous, polite and gives back to the community by donating some proceeds of her products to different causes. I highly recommend supporting this wonderful company, your health and tastebuds will thank you!

When we finally were going to Des Moines during when they're open, we made an effort to try the restaurant. Stopping was definitely worth it! They have a set menu based on the produce that's available to harvest, but the way the created the recipes around the produce and chicken was really delicious! They service here was super friendly and fast. The son of the people who started this place explained all about the farm and their food. I have already recommended this place to people, it is so good!

As has been the case on each of our visits, the food and atmosphere were off the charts. The service wasn't quite as prompt this morning as what I've become accustomed to, but the experience was still great. Best of all...I saw that they now have a daily Happy ("Flocktail") Hour everyday before they close - and it is a 50% Off special - so now I can add them to HappyHourDesMoines.com also!! Today, my wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and a Bloody Mary (see pictures) - and with all of the new items on the menu, our friend ordered the Smoked Corn Beef Hash (see picture) and I went with the Healthy Hatch Tacos (see picture). I swapped one of my tacos with our friend for 1/2 of his hash, sampled my wife's Chicken Fried Steak - and can assure you that you will NOT go wrong ordering any of them, as all were absolutely delicious!

Already stuffed from a late lunch, the fiancé and I split the fried chick'n sandwich with mac & cheese (with added hot sauce, of course) and our tastebuds were blown away. Not only was the flavor on point, but so was the texture. Not even exaggerating, idc if you're a meat loving omni, you need to try the food if you ever come across this bus. Definitely hope to find the bus again when I'm in town again next year. Thanks for making the extra trip worth it!

They're clearly well loved by the community too because the line was fairly long. But regardless the team was friendly and helpful! I ordered the frisco melt, which was so good I did not have the chance to take a picture of it. The sandwich is toasted and crispy and paired with their lentil patty. Which was so well seasoned, I almost forgot what I was eating wasn't meat. I also had the mango ginger lemonade, the perfect drink for a nice summer day! From what my friends told me, their nachos and tacos were just as good! So it's fair to assume everything on their menu is a winner and you can't go wrong with whatever you order. My only trouble is that I don't get to see this truck downtown as often as I want to! Can't wait to see them again in the future.

Our 8 yr old son wanted momos and asked to try out a different Indian restaurant than our "usual."…read moreI searched the area, checked out menus, and reviews. Chowrastha looked like it would work. It was a Friday evening and when we entered, about half the tables were full. We were guided to a table and given menus and water (glasses and a pitcher) arrived shortly after. My son definitely wanted the chicken momos. We asked for them as mild as they could make them. My husband chose the chicken vindaloo (medium) and I asked for the Korma Masala with chicken. I asked for it mild, especially so our son would be able to have some of mine, but was told it could only come medium or spicy. So I chose medium. We also placed an order of butter naan. My husband and son ordered fountain drinks. The waiter pointed out the fountain machine and told them to help themselves to start and for refills. My son and husband's food came out along with the naan. There was no mention about mine. We started to wonder if mine had been forgotten but then it came. Our son dove into his momos and almost immediately said they were too spicy. The other Indian restaurants we've been to put the sauces on the side. These had the sauce on them. He powered through and ate four. We were proud of him for doing so. My husband and I ate the rest. I enjoyed the flavor but agreed it would be spicy for a kid. The dumpling wrap seemed to be dry in places. Otherwise, I liked them. My husband enjoyed his chicken vindaloo for the most part. He did mention he's had chicken vindaloo at other Indian restaurants and said he didn't recall it being so tangy. My Korma Masala was fine. It was definitely spicier than I'd desired and there was no way my 8 year old would have enjoyed trying it. My nose would not stop running from the spice level. The butter naan was tasty. Service was non-existent once our food arrived. While other tables did get filled and orders taken, we felt completely ignored. We didn't know if the check came to us or if we needed to pay at the counter. No idea where to get to-go containers. We saw people from a large party coming up and ordering at the counter. Since this was our first time here, we had no clue if this was due to being understaffed or just the norm. Definitely not a good service experience. Our son was disappointed and asked to return to our "usual" Indian restaurant in the metro. I can't disagree.

Well this is about 180 degrees from the review I put up yesterday (Leachmon Pit Stop BBQ). Some…read moremore great food though...! But going from BBQ to vegan...? Vegan food really isn't my thing, 95% of the time I'm carnivore, but here we go... Lol I've eaten a little bit of vegan food over my lifetime. Mostly Indian, but a bit more that is out of the box. Gyro style sandwiches done with plant based proteins, etc... Vibrations Vegan Wellness Cafe set up in our break room today and I had the chance to try their food. I was going to take the safe way out and order the burger and one of my co-workers offered me a bit of their "fish". Heart of palm in a corn meal breading with a homemade tartar sauce and Frank's hot sauce. I had a short conversation with Mo (the owner). Very personable. Today it was just a one person operation and I didn't want to take up too much of their time. I ended ordering the "fish." it came with a side of greens and mac n cheese. If I had to compare it to something it would be similar to a mild white fish where it takes on more the flavor of the seasoning and the sauces used with it. The seasoning was on point and I really enjoyed this! It had a similar shape and look to fish so it's not much of a stretch. The heart of palm's texture is more stringy than flakey, but not that different. The greens were very good. I'm not sure what they are seasoned with, but they had a bit of a kick... With all transparency it was the mac n cheese I was dreading... Every vegan cheese I've ever tried didn't melt right and it was just off. This was not. I'd put this up against the mac n cheese at a lot of BBQ joints and I don't think you could tell the difference. Once again...very good. I don't think I'll ever be vegan by choice, but I'll tell you what... If something in my life/health ever makes that choice for me... If I could have vegan food that tasted this this it wouldn't be much of an issue. The fish was an off menu item that I see they serve fairly often from their Facebook page. I'm glad they brought it with them today! Hopefully Mo is able to come back, I can place an order with them, or I can find them serving at other locations, and I can try a few more of their menu items. I'm not sure if they have a true physical brick and mortar. It looks like they might operate out of a truck. Check out their Facebook page for better details than I can probably provide.

Located in a…read morestrip mall at the corner of Grand and EP True (by the HyVee), the decor is nothing special but it was light and bright inside. We were greeted and asked if we were dining in (it appears they do a brisk takeout business) and were told to sit where we wanted. It was surprisingly crowded for a Sunday afternoon at 4 pm. The menu is extensive and hubby and I both like Mediterranean food. I chose the Falafel plate, served with five falafel balls, hummus, a pita, and Greek salad. The portion was generous (ended up taking two falafel home). Served with tahini and their house green sauce (olive oil, cilantro, and jalapeño) It wasn't spicy but it was so delicious - I could get addicted to this thinking of all the other ways so could enjoy it!! The Greek salad was served with house dressing - garlic and yogurt, also very good. The falafel was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and flavorful. The hummus was not at all grainy - smooth but just a tad bland. Hubby had the lamb skewers and liked them very much. Served with rice, salad, and hummus. He also took one of the skewers home. We both had the mango Fresca juice. A bit too sweet for me but I generally drink unsweetened beverages. Hubby liked it a lot. Service was friendly and we were checked on twice to ask how we liked our food. Generous portions, friendly service, good food, but not inexpensive (with tip, $55 for two) but what is inexpensive these days?? We enjoyed reading the story of the couple who started this restaurant, and I'm glad we finally had a chance to try it?
