"Thanks to its shawarma and falafel, traditional Turkish coffee, and service that’s sweeter than the dark chocolate-dipped baklava on display, Tarboosh has one of the most loyal followings of all the stands at the Saturday downtown farmers market and the Thursday Valley Junction farmers market. Stop by to hear fellow market-goers declare things like, “These guys will change your life,” and “The shawarma tastes exactly like the ones from my favorite shawarma shop when I lived in the Middle East.” Find the stall at both markets from spring through fall." - Karla Walsh

Two great experiences with Mohamad and his delicious food in three days! Loved their Des Moines Farmer's Market Chicken Shwarma, might be best ever for me. Great service, good people.

Best shawarma's ever! Had the Falafel and Tahini was excellent with the sauce. The lentil soup was excellent also. Didn't make it for the cheese rolls but heard they were excellent!

Had Tarboosh for the first time at the DSM farmers market a couple months ago and have been a regular stop ever since. The chicken shawarma wrap at falafels are a must get! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Hoping they get a permanent location soon!

Tarboosh is one of our favorite stops at the farmers markets . The schwarma and baklava are amazing and the service is always friendly and helps us try new foods!

Delicious, authentic Lebanese food! One of our DSM Farmer’s Market staples. We especially love the chicken shawarma wrap & falafel. The owner—from Lebanon—is so kind and informative. We hope he gets a restaurant soon!

I had the treat of trying Tarboosh when I was home over Thanksgiving at the holiday farmers market. I’m originally from Iowa but live in New York and I’ve been on the hunt to find anything as good as Tarboosh since November. Everything is absolutely delicious. The lentil soup is perfection and have been trying to recreate it ever since. The staff is so friendly. This has been added to my list of places I must eat when I’m home visiting. Hoping a permanent location is created soon!
