We started in one corner walked the whole parameter, and then circled back to our favorite spots. Spices really do make food, and imagination is the only limiter. Savory Spice has unlimited options for your imagination and taste buds. The staff was super helpful and it was fun to discuss flavor combinations with her. If staff doesn't offer tastings, you should ask for a taste or two. While raw spices will taste different than when they are cooked, you can still get a sense of what they will be like. This is the place of cooking opportunities.

Thank you to Lecia and her team for filling out an order my wedding!…read more Christina C and I recently got married. We were debating what to provide as wedding favors to our guests. It had to be meaningful and practical. We ultimately decided to gift our guests with some spices from our favorite spice shop! When we first started dating, we would often pass by the Costa Mesa location and scour their inventory to make some delicious meals. Since then, we both moved out of the OC and the Costa Mesa location closed. However, our love for Savory hasn't diminished! They make some very nice blends with quality ingredients, and working with their products makes us love cooking even more. As for Lecia and her team, they were outstanding! They overcame some staffing issues, fulfilled our order (Flat Irons Prime Rib Rub & Spiced Vanilla Bean Sugar), and shipped out the spices. There weren't any errors in our order. Moreover, They were efficient and such a pleasure to work with. Christina and I are thankful we were able to work with such a nice team. If you're in the SoCal area and place a large order from Savory, it sounds like your order will be fulfilled by the Palm Springs location. I'm confident they will do a good job. Thanks again!

The staff were laughing with each other as they were working and you could tell they like their job. I received a warm welcome and was presented with three different menus for all they have to offer. My server Jennifer was great to talk with about the wines, the owners, and the food. I enjoyed trying different cheeses along with a delicious Albariño wine. They had some fairly steady stream of customers, some were regulars and some were first-timers like me. Next time I will try one of the salads which I saw and it looked amazing. I have a feeling they will need to be expanding if the word gets out on how wonderful everything is. I added it to my list of stops whenever I am at my vacation place in Indian Wells. You should check them out!!

This review is only for their barbecue, which they have on select days. Mostly near holidays on…read moreFriday and Saturday. The barbecue items were excellent we had beef, ribs, pork, ribs, barbecue chicken, legs, and thighs, and barbecued sausage. They did not have any other parts of the chicken except for legs and thighs, which we do prefer white meat, but it was very good. I also got some mac & cheese, which my husband liked but I was not a fan. Also, beef ribs are extremely hard to find and they only have them if they get a shipment prior to bbq days so you need to call first. It was absolutely packed at 11:30 on a Saturday. I do not advise you go near lunchtime unless you're ready for a crowd . Previously I had purchased some knockwurst that was on special . We are only used to the Jewish version at Sherman's deli and these were just terrible. I give them one star. I also purchased some veal shanks which no body has and they were pretty good , no complaints. So bottom line is you have to try different things to see what's best for you. But I think it's the best bbq in Coachella valley!

Not huge, but we turned chicken adobo, homemade guacamole, homemade salsa verde, a couple peppers and some tortillas into an excellent dinner. The meat was so tasty and the salsa was very flavorful and fresh tasting. Guacamole was also good and I must say a serious bargain. The inside is clean, staff is super friendly and prices are very good. We will shop here again - I'm dying to try the ceviches!

The BEST vegan desserts in town !!…read more THIS is how vegan desserts should be done Located rt next door to Chef Tanya's kitchen It's so hard to find ones that actually taste good and aren't crazy sweet or falling apart... this place nails it.

The food was SO good I almost forgot I'm NOT a vegetarian. At one point I was halfway through my meal thinking, "Wow, this chicken is amazing"... except there was no chicken.

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

I got the Dardie's Veggie pizza for take out last night. Although I was grateful for the veggie overload, it kinda felt like I was biting into a piece of bread with a mountain of salad on top. I truly wish the pizza had more cheese. I'm not sure if all their pizzas are made this way but it definitely didn't have enough cheese. Maybe I would enjoy a different pizza more but I was disappointed. Service was fine, no issues there.
