I hate to be the fly in the ointment but I tried this place tonight for the first time. Placed an order for mango chicken. I was surprised at the size of the container, meaning small. Inside was 2/3 gravy and 1/3 chicken. It wasn't even enough to fill me up. Picture this a bowl a little bit bigger than a soup/cereal bowl. That was it to my whole order. I called but they pretty much said it is what it is. Not going back. Not worth $19!

This is essentially an East Indian restaurant. The curries were tasty as well as the biryani.

Mattar paneer, channa masala, basmati rice, garlic naan

We just ate here and it was some of the best Indian food I have had in the Seattle area. And it was so affordable! We had channa masala, Mattar paneer, samosa chaat, garlic Naan and rice. We also got to try the mango Lassi. Everything was outstanding! It is some of the freshest Indian food I have ever had. I was pleasantly surprised that the channa (chickpeas) in the samosa chaat were spiced completely differently than in the channa masala. Both were excellent. The staff was very attentive and made sure our water was always full. Even the rice was fragrant and tasty. The garlic Naan was hot and delicious. We literally ate and left no crumbs. We are already planning our next visit.

Palak Paneer

We decided to try the new spot that finally opened in Jack's Country vacated space in downtown Des Moines. First of all, I'm glad they took their time because the space is now very, very clean and fresh with a new kitchen. Two of us had vegetarian dishes. The Palak Paneer (2 star heat) and Shahi Paneer (1 star). They came with a bowl of Basmati rice which was plenty for us. Both dishes came beautifully presented in authentic metal bowls filled to the brim and were hot, fresh and delicious. We also ordered the garlic naan which was well worth the $5.99. Well charred and buttery. Perfect for swiping every bit of sauce. One person ordered the 2 piece fish and chips. He said the cod had a crunchy coating and moist flesh. The chips were standard but were crisp and well seasoned. We took home enough of our vegetarian dishes for at least 1 or 2 more meals. The fish and chips realized that the naan was so tasty that he polished that off instead of the fries. Don't let the name fool you. This is a terrific Indian restaurant. We will be back!

We drove on out to the Des Moines location as closest to our home. I really wanted those oyster…read moreshooters being advertised on Facebook. The dining area and bar was packed but found some spots and hob-nobbed with locals at the bar. Got a drink, oysters for wife and some shooters. The oysters in the shooter were as pictured, plump, tasty with some cocktail sauce - loved them. Was thinking of another round when found wife wasn't so happy with the sad dozen micro-oysters she was serviced. Somehow, I realized the second level resturant was serving better oysters similiar to what was being used in the oyster shooter and we relocated to top level of the resturant. What a difference, different menu, was a fine dining experience - just what we needed so stepped up to the next level. Another dozen oysters, a few more oyster shooters, another round of cocktails, watched the beautiful sunset, fantastic service from the staff, we were totally relaxed and amazingly happy. Definitely will be back and promised my wife 2-3 dozen oysters the next time.

The restaurant has beautiful views of the water and the marina. Service wasn't particularly warm, but efficient. We wanted to take advantage of the rhubarb seasonal desserts, so appreciated the suggestion to take home the desserts from the price fixe menu. We didn't care for the rhubarb cocktails (much too sweet) but they were taken away without any comment and removed from the final bill. My parents love the chowder, and enjoyed it. I didn't care for the consistency. The shrimp cocktail was a fun retro flavor. Crispy celery, creamy sauce, and the shrimp was cooked well. We all ordered the sole almondine and substituted roasted potatoes for the rice. The potatoes were good, as was the accompanying asparagus. The fish was breaded, and topped with ground almonds which were warmed in butter. The bottom piece of fish was unfortunately soggy, and I prefer an almondine sauce when it's made with sliced almonds. It was a little flat tasting. But overall, the dish was good. The desserts were average. The sugar crust on my father's creme brûlée was too thick and flamed a little too hard. The slump was tasty, but the ratio of filling ro cake was unbalanced (too much cake). The cheesecake was a good texture and the rhubarb sauce was nicely tangy. Overall, a mice evening and worth $35 for a 3-course meal.

I been dropping in and out of this nice little kept secret for not kidding..... 25 years now!…read more It's a great little smokehouse secret! Something for everyone here! Was bar top this visit passing through town through business this week. Chris was my main server today. What a gentlemen! And so accommodating to me! I had the Pork chop tonight without dissatisfaction! With the well thought out mash potatoes, and beans! It was hardy! And filling! There is so many special other things that you can order here on the smoke side meat side! After dinner engaged with Melissa and Desiree. They are all engaging and a fun quick chat! For me really nothing not to like about this well long established place! Always consistent place. Job well done at Sharps!

Well we tried Sharps again and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. We had dined here a few weeks…read moreago and I gave it a 2 out of 5 review. This time it was much better. We were pleasantly greeted and escorted to a table. The hostess started to seat us in an area that the tables are placed very close together and next to a table full of adult diners. We had our grandchildren with us and I could see that wouldn't work so I asked to be placed at a booth which wouldn't be so intrusive to other diners and she was able to accommodate us. There is no denying that tables are placed very close together here. Our waiter was very professional and the staff worked as a team. The food here is very good and the servings are large. With that said I gave it a much better review this time. I just can't give it a 5 because of the seating. I would recommend trying it. If you don't mind dining in tight quarters this a great place for good food.

A visit to The Family Drive-In is a reminder that sometimes the best meals come from places that…read morefocus on doing the basics right. This classic, no-frills spot carries a nostalgic charm, with a casual, welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a staple of the community. It's the kind of place where the focus isn't on trends or presentation, but on delivering satisfying, flavorful food that keeps people coming back. The Hamburger perfectly captures that philosophy. It's simple--nothing overly dressed up or complicated--but that's exactly what makes it shine. The patty is cooked well, with a satisfying sear that brings out the natural flavor of the beef, while the bun and toppings complement rather than overwhelm. Every bite feels balanced, familiar, and genuinely delicious, like a reminder of how good a straightforward burger can be when it's done right. The California Burger steps things up with a more layered flavor profile. The meat is cooked just right--juicy, tender, and full of flavor--and paired with fresh toppings that add both texture and brightness. There's a satisfying richness to it, but it never feels too heavy. Each component works together seamlessly, creating a burger that feels indulgent without losing that classic drive-in appeal. Another standout is the Onion Burger, which might be the most memorable of the bunch. The patty is cooked to a juicy perfection, locking in flavor with every bite. What truly elevates it, though, are the caramelized onions. They're soft, slightly sweet, and deeply savory, blending into the burger in a way that feels effortless. The combination of the rich beef and the perfectly cooked onions creates a harmony that's hard to beat. Not everything hits the same high note, however. The Calamari Rings were a bit of a letdown. There was a slightly off-putting seafood smell that took away from the experience, and the breading felt excessive--so much so that it would fall off easily. On top of that, they leaned a bit too greasy, making them heavier than expected and lacking the crisp, clean bite that good calamari should have. Despite that one misstep, The Family Drive-In excels where it matters most. It delivers consistently great burgers that highlight quality, simplicity, and flavor. For anyone craving a classic drive-in experience with satisfying, well-executed burgers, this spot is an easy recommendation and well worth the visit.

"Single" halibut and chips, and a banana shake…read more Fries and good. Crinkle cut and not greasy, but potato meaty. Didn't try the orange(ketchup & mayo?) fry sauce, included for dipping. (Maybe I'll update later?) Halibut is well fried. Flakey, moist, tender, and hot. Goes quite well with their included tarter sauce. Banana shake was pre-prepared, so not makde fresh, but still delicious (and fast, since pre-prepped). Definitely worth a visit! Keep small non-chain mom & pop joints alive!
