Egg Eggy Salad, Classic Deli Potato, Bahn Mi & You, Mac N' Cheesy, Daily Soup
Ash L.

My brother and I were reluctant to try this place out because it's vegan because im not vegan and we were both happy to try out quality whole foods! Kelly was amazing in answering all my questions, she offered suggestions and even gave us samples of the zucchini almond soup of the day and the tooty fruity agua fresca of the day which were both so delicious! I was a bit confused about the separation of the dining room but I thought it gave the kitchen more character! One side is to order the food and do some shopping for their products and cute trinkets, while the other side was for dining. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is open to trying new foods!

Delicious vegan Pastrami Mami $16
Kristie C.

What a hidden gem of the beaten path. I'm not normally a fan of fake meats but I absolutely loved the pastrami mami ($16) - the sauerkraut and pickles were very tasty, and surprisingly the vegan deli meat as well. The rye bread was probably the best part, chewy, rustic and with a thick crust. Service was fantastic - order at counter, eat next door and they bring it to you. Would def recommend even for carnivores :)

Oh-My-Gato-Taco Salad
Cheryl G.

After eating heavy food for my past several meals, I needed a salad desperately. Quick yelp search gave me this vegan restaurant and after checking out the menu I decided it was right for me in that moment. It's in kind of a weird part of town, almost like a warehouse district. You go in and it looks at first like it's going to just be a take away place, but the guy working behind the counter told me that there was an empty storefront two businesses down That they had taken over as like a seating area. I got the taco salad and it was delicious! The chipotle ranch dressing had just the right amount of spice and it was super creamy. The salad was piled high with fresh greens, beans, some pickled cabbage and little tortilla strips. It definitely hit the spot. The meatless taco meat was really good. Only thing it was missing was a little bit of vegan cheese. This place is obviously really popular because the whole time I was there people were coming and going and every table had someone in the seating area. I went back in and got a Moroccan style cauliflower salad to bring back to my man. It looked really good and he finished it quite quickly! Ended up being more filling than we expected.

Matcha lattes

Chef Tanya's is my favorite vegan food of ALL TIME! I first came here on a work trip a couple years ago, and i've made sure to stop here every time i'm back in the area. The menu is robust and each of the items i've had here has been off the charts good. My favorite item is by far the BLTA - bacon tofu, lettuce, avo, add crack cheese. You can't go wrong with anything here. Coming here the day of coachella, we also got to see one of the bands performing eating there, how you know it's good. My only gripe is the matcha was not that good, could've used a lot more matcha and less milk.

We recently stopped for lunch at Chef Tanya's while traveling. What a find! The outside may not look like much as it's in a semi-industrial area near the airport, but don't let that fool you. The selection, the quality, and the service is great. I ordered the Modern Hippie Veggie without carrot on gluten-free bread, and my partner selected El Cubano. Both sandwiches were large with fresh, flavorful ingredients. We also split a gluten free peanut butter parfait that was delicious. Now that we've found Chef Tanya's, it will be a standard lunch stop when we travel I-10.

Caprese
Jim R.

The place is off the beaten path in an industrial park. You walk in and there is a small market inside. You make your order and if you eating there you go to the dining area across a small street filled with patio furniture. I got the tempeh Caprese sandwich and my gf got the Guadalajara. Both were really good. The flavor wasn't strong but the bread was terrific. It was a potato bun. Service was great. I'd highly recommend.

This is review mainly for the mistake of giving our food away by accident. Actually, it wasn't given away, but it was taken/stolen from an uBer Eats delivery person. We placed a large order in advanced online, ample of time for them to make. Upon arrival, our food was nowhere to be found. Apparently it was grabbed by someone else by mistake or on purpose. My question is, why does this establishment place their online and phone orders by the doorway? The orders are placed on a shelf by the door and food that have been sitting there can be taken by anyone. Supposedly, we were told that it wasn't the first time it's happened. That is has been happening lately that people have been grabbing food either by mistake or taking them. Why now are they doing anything about it? Why didn't they fix that issue when it happened the first time? This is the first time I've ever seen any food spot place togo orders by the door that way. I'm not sure if it's laziness or that's more efficient and quicker for them to get rid of the order. That's a huge problem right there. Anyone can take food by mistake or just plain steal them. This place is small. The staff should have delivery personnel come up to the register and ask for the orders. It's not that hard. All orders should be behind the counter. Apparently a delivery guy came in there and grabbed an order then proceeded to take our bag as well. It's a logistics issue that shouldn't even be a concern. They did fix the problem but we had to wait for them to remake everything all over again so we had to wait again. We the customers had to ask them to accommodate us and have them solve their problems. The staff are young people. They were nice about it but I suggest better service and be more attentive and quick. It was an $80+ order and the food was alright. Expensive and was mediocre. Need more flavor on most and the position could be better. Overall, they did fix the issue, but this place needs to do better.

El Cubano
Lilie T.

I looked up new places to try while on a short Palm Springs vacation. Chef Tanya's Kitchen came up as a choice with some recommended lunch options. I have to say Vegan is not at the top of my favorite foods. But, I will now add my very enthusiastic recommendation of the El Cubano sandwich, I also had the Agua fresca of the day (mango pineapple- so good!) And finish with the Lemon Drizzle cake bites. You will not be disappointed. I now have a new favorite desert lunch spot.

Cute vegan cafe with delicious food. There's lots to pick from and everything looked so good. I got the chupacabra chik'n sandwich and hubby got the Guadalajara burger. We both really liked our food. I added some sriracha to mine and it was perfect. I like how thinly sliced the seitan was. We also got the agua Fresca and it was refreshing on a hot day! Staff was friendly and our food came out pretty quickly. This is a wonderful option for fresh and healthy food that's also flavorful. Vegan food done right!

Had to take a bite first! So good!
Joy B.

This place is outstanding! My friend and I tried their sandwhiches and were not dissapointed! I got the gluten free chickpea wrap which was absolutely worth the upcharge. Took home some dairyfree caramels that were to die for! I'll be coming back to buy more of those as christmas presents this year. Their homemade katsup and mayo were excellent on the fries. Matcha latte was ON POINT Tanya liked my photos of my cats too. That made me happy. She likes cats. So I like her.

Vanilla Ice cream
Timothy M.

Food was amazing. I got the Guadalajara burger and it looked so good I literally forgot to take a picture of it. The flavors were on point and it was cooked perfectly. The servers were great the whole time too--super friendly and checked in without being overbearing. And the ice cream? Rich, creamy, and the perfect way to finish everything off. Overall, just a solid experience. I'd definitely come back. Very nice vibe for family or friends to come and just chill in a market type of atmosphere.

Stopped by after exploring Joshua Tree and was very impressed! The tempeh was well cooked in my burger. The little storefront with vegan goodies is also wonderful and I had a delicious key lime pie parfait. If I'm ever back in this area I will definitely return.

Half of the Guadalajara Burger, look at the thick slice of tempeh!

Ask the Community - Chef Tanya's Kitchen

Is there gluten free options?

Yes, many.

Do you have a breakdown of nutrients for the burger bun?

Dine in available or take out and delivery only?

Palm Springs location has very limited no inside dine in options, they have small outdoor tables of two or picnic tables. Palm desert has a little bit more flexibility with outdoor seating but still quite small

Do they have any oil free or SOS free options?

They do and they are also very accommodating to special requests. Great food, great people.

I have a soy & gluten allergy and I'm vegan. I know.. super annoying but I have too eat this way, do they have soy free & gluten free options?

They definitely do.

What percentage of food you put out is certified organic? Vegan cuisine without being organic really defeats the purpose.

I agree. I see they didn't answer

My question is regarding the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie I got as a dessert. It was hands down amazing. What's in it?? Besides obviously, Crack? LOL

Heaven is in it.

Do you guys except Apple Pay?

Yes!

Are there any soy free meat options besides chickpeas?

Yes we make housemade seitan and it is soy free. We also have salads without soy or chickpeas.

Are pets welcome?

Well behaved service pets are always welcome! Our space is small and we don’t have an outdoor patio where non-service pets may dine with their guardians. In cooler weather people often sit curbside with their pets. We love animals.

Is everything on the menu vegan or just certain items?

Everything! All made from scratch too.

Is there gluten free bread available?

No but we can do organic romaine lettuce wrap!

This place has made a name for itself and that's amazing. We've been coming here for years and each…read moreand every visit has alway been amazing. Even when we're not here for a meal, picking up a cake or dessert from the display is another level. The cakes are delicious, just saying.... We stoped in for breakfast Saturday morning and the place was pretty lively. The patio area was pretty full but we did get a seat. I think all the times we've been, we've always been seated outside which is great. Never sat inside. Service was great and the staffs are alway the sweetest and friendliest. First off, pickles and sauerkraut are brought out for the table. A nice like treat to start off. Menu, pretty much a bit of everything. Breakfast, sandwiches, salads, soups and so on. If you haven't been, the portions are quite big fyi. We started off with a large cabbage soup and a side order of the matzo ball to share. The soup was quite tasty and delicious. It was on the sweeter side which was informed beforehand but still delicious. Then comes the mains, a mixture of everything was ordered. 2 Omelettes and 2 sandwiches between four of us. The breakfast does come with a side and toasts, English muffins or bagel. Sandwiches come with a side. The breakfast dishes are alway great and very filling which I love to get here. And then you have the sandwiches, which are loaded up with amazing goodies. The food each time we've been here has been amazing. Service was alway great and the staffs are alway so friendly and attentive. We normally ended up full so majority of the time we never have room for dessert. One of our favorite place to have breakfast.

We dropped by Sherman's Deli for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised. Not only is the food…read moredelicious, but the service is fantastic. Everyone working here was very attentive and helpful. Sherman's Deli also is pretty busy, we came on a Monday and it was packed! I would recommend coming in as early as possible. We tried the pastrami sandwich, corned beef sandwich, chili and cottage fries. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was definitely the corned beef sandwich. For dessert, we split an eclair and it was HUGE. Very tasty, but would definitely recommend splitting it between 2 or 3 people! It was really fun coming in, we will definitely be back!
