Des Moines Indian Food Review | Chowrastha Indian Grill

After trying Persis Biryani Indian Grill (my #1 spot), I visited Chowrastha Indian Grill based on a friend’s recommendation. While it didn’t quite top my favorite, it’s still a great choice! Here’s the full breakdown: 🍽️ How It Works: À la carte or buffet (priced differently). I opted for à la carte – worried the buffet might be sitting too long or not freshly replenished. Note: Many Indian customers chose the buffet but added extra naan. Maybe the buffet is worth it if you catch it at the right time! 🧡 What I Ordered: Appetizer: Half chicken – tender and flavorful, but slightly overcharred. Main: Goat curry (medium spice) – tasty and lean (no fatty bits!), though less impressive than Persis’. Garlic Naan 🫓 – buttery, garlicky, and delicious even alone! A bit oily but highly recommended. ⭐ Verdict: Food: 4.5/5 – Flavorful and well-made, but not quite #1. Service: Friendly but with strong Indian accents (manageable if you’re used to it). Price: Reasonable – typical for Indian cuisine. 📍 Details: Name: Chowrastha Indian Grill & Eatery Address: 5910 Ashworth Rd, West Des Moines, IA 50266 Final Thoughts: Worth a try if you’re in the area! Order the garlic naan and goat curry – and be patient with the service. 😊 #DesMoines #IndianFood #IowaEats #FoodReview #Chowrastha #DesMoinesFood
