Open Sesame

Fantastic food. Authentic flavors and great people. Highly recommend

There is a reason that shawarma was mentioned in the Avengers movies. It is amazing. Open Sesame has the best shawarma in Des Moines. If you were thinking of trying it, just do it!

Came in early afternoon, one of my children was a little ornery. Waiter was so nice and wonderful. Helped selecting our food. Wonderful dishes, the two meat and rice platter, what ever the name was had such wonderful spice(not hot). My daughter, miss spice sensitive ate it, because it was too good even though her mouth was spicy. She never does that! Definitely coming back when in DeMoines

I’ve lived in 4 cities in the past 2 years and I think this restaurant may be my favorite. It’s at least top 3. The food and spices and everything is just so good. They’ve also really mastered take out. You don’t feel like the quality has dipped when getting it in take out format. This place is amazing.

Lebanese food at this location - delicious. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. Fast, efficient, and courteous service. Feeling here is similar to a cafe in San Jose I liked.
