Bawarchi Indian Grill & Bar - Des Moines

Wow. The aromas hit me and caught myself walking just a bit faster. I knew it was going to be special before I entered the establishment. The flavors, textures, presentations were bright and exciting. I apologize for the photo. I caught myself with a few spoonfuls of biryani before I remembered to snag a photo. Its places like this that make want to explore Des Moines a bit more.

Had an incredible dinner tonight. I had Royyala Pulusu (Shrimp), a South Indian coastal dish, Coastal Tiger Shrimp cooked in caramelized onions; tomato based gravy with spicy green chili paste blended with special Andhra spices & garnished with cilantro. Spice level was on point! ????. Also had a side of Indian Hot and Sour soup. This restaurant is fantastic!

We have a new favorite place for Indian food in the metro! Ordered take out a month ago, then dined in a few days ago - both times everything was so, so excellent. We love our old favorite too, but the way they prepare the dishes at Bawarchi seems to give them a deeper flavor. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. I can't wait to finish up our leftovers so we can go back for more!
