The 36 Best Restaurants in Des Moines, Iowa | Eater

"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

The best food truck in town. Mohammed is so friendly and always serves food hot and fresh. I follow them on social media so I can get my fix because no one else makes shawarma in our area that is close to this good.

Excellent spot for an authentic Lebanese treat! Their chicken shawarmas with garlic sauce were out of this world. I also tried their crispy falafel, sweet clotted cream triangles, and the most refreshing pomegranate juice I've ever had 😋 (PSA: their pita bread is locally made, so you can't beat freshness there ✅️ ) Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful wraps and impressive coffee made on hot sand!!! Staff is always pleasant and generous to serve. One of best places to eat for the Farmer’s Market.

Delicious taste of Lebanon. Highly recommend the chicken shawarma wrap and the falafel wrap. The mint lemonade is so refreshing. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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.

I liked them so much on Thursday at Valley Junction that I visited them two days later at the Des Moines Farmers Market. Their chicken shawarma was fantastic! It was absolutely delicious. The service and setting were terrific on Grand Avenue. My favorite dish of the Market!
