"Spices was INCREDIBLE!!! All day travel, from CA, and I hadn't eaten since a very early breakfast. On my way to Marshaltown and I've learned that I'd better find food while still in Des Moines, but I didn't want to venture too far off the main drag. Great star rating, and Indian sounds like a brilliant idea so I'm all in. Thought I was lost because Maps sent me through the neighborhood, but BOOM! There it is! Still open too!! Walk in, immediately staff is very nice and gets me sorted. Got some samosa coming, a couple orders of their different naan flavors...and some Chicken Tikka Masala. Got a Coke too, because you HAVE to have a Coke with your Indian. Really brings out all the flavor. Asked for my Tikka extra, extra, extra spicy. She made a face. Says something, like, "Ok, but you might be sorry...". She did it though. Tikka showed up, with rice, and the smell was incredible! Pungent. Savory. Complex. Yum!!! Only, not quite hot enough.... I asked, "Do you happen to have some back-house magic you can bring?" Well, she REALLY made a face then! Says, "Hold on. I got you." Returns with a ramakin of fresh cut chilis that look absolutely evil. OMG. EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. Chef even came out to see the crazy man and give him the backstory on the chilis. SO cool! It was so good I couldn't put it down. Regret leaving two pieces of naan behind, but I was already as big as a house and couldn't even eat breakfast this morning! Seems like it's mostly take-out, but it's definitely worth a sit-down because everyone is super chill and super nice, and the food rocks the Amadeus."

"We had a very good experience at this restaurant. The waitress was friendly and helpful as we made our choices. We shared tasty appetizers. The Indian chai tea was warming and delicious. Three generations of our family, including two granddaughters, enjoyed different entrees. If you are looking for authentic and freshly prepared Nepalese/Indian cuisine, you can’t go wrong with this restaurant."

"The food has been DELICIOUS every time I have came here. After my granddaughter wanted to come here for her birthday, I have came 1-2 times a month. The service has superb every time. They are courtesy, polite, and answer any questions you may have. Totally recommend coming here!"
