"Love Nepalese food. In Chicago we have good options. I was surprised there was one in DSM. Got the thali which was amazing! Haven’t had a good thali since visiting southern Asia."

"It was one of the first places I ordered from when I moved here. It's been 2 years, and their recipes have not changed much. The Lamb Dhansak is so savory and fresh. Sometimes, it's someone else in the kitchen, and you can tell, but you're never disappointed. The lentils are delicious and the Naan is always hot and fresh from the oven (or tandoori ). The customer service here is phenomenal. I always feel welcome, and that my money is well spent. They have made custom orders for me and my 3yo. She loves the lamb dhansak broth, if thats what it is, as much as me. Possibly more even. I love the atmosphere, the service and the food is beyond satisfactory."

"Spice of Nepal in Iowa – A Taste of Home Away from Home
Tucked away in the heart of Iowa, Spice of Nepal is a hidden treasure that brings authentic Nepali flavors to the Midwest. This beautifully family-owned restaurant captures the essence of Nepal — from its warm hospitality to its soul-satisfying cuisine.
Every dish is thoughtfully prepared using traditional recipes and aromatic spices that instantly transport you to the Himalayas. Whether it’s their juicy momos, flavorful chicken curry, or comforting daal bhat, every bite is packed with love and cultural richness.
What truly sets this place apart is the feeling of being welcomed like family. During my visit, the hospitality was beyond amazing — I felt truly at home, even while traveling. If you’re in Iowa and craving something special, Spice of Nepal is a must-visit. Add it to your bucket list!"
