    Frequently Asked Questions

    • How does this page choose vegan restaurants in Des Moines?

      A listing can't tell you that. Call ahead, say it's celiac disease rather than a preference, and ask about shared fryers and prep surfaces.

      Start with the halal list on this page, which shows places that mention halal in their listing. Call ahead to ask how the meat is sourced and whether it shares fryers and prep surfaces with other dishes.

    • Where can I find kosher food in Des Moines?

      Start with the kosher list on this page, which shows places that mention kosher in their listing. Call ahead to ask about supervision and whether dishes share fryers and prep surfaces.
