    Oakland Eat Real Festival 2010

    Oakland Eat Real Festival 2010 [Stop #8] Potato-Spinach Knish - $5 I'm actually a bit surprised that this is the first Yelp review for Tante's. They seem like a well established food stand operating all over the Bay Area. One of my friends told me there was a booth at the festival serving up "fried mashed potatoes." I thought to myself "Hmm that's an interesting concept. I need to give this a try!" Turns out he was talking about knishes, which aren't deep fried at all. I guess you can associate them with mashed potatoes, but it's a completely different concept. Having grown up in a Jewish family, I was very excited to try Tante's rendition of a knish. At first, I was a bit weirded out because a knish usually has ground meat in it, while this one was just spinach and potatoes. With the first bite, I was VERY disappointed. Their menu lists garlic and salt as part of the ingredients, but that was no where to be found. This knish (hehe it rhymes) was completely bland and all three of us were hesitant about finishing it. I was excited to let me friends try a traditional Jewish dish, but Tante's failed me. I have a feeling Tante's is trying to advertise themselves as one of those healthy vegan places, but when you try to incorporate that with hundreds of years of tradition, it won't work too well.

    MY FIRST KNISH As an attendee of the Oakland Cat Video Festival the most disappointing thing was the lack of food options. Luckily, Tante's was there and the Knish sounded wonderful. Husband stood in line for one of their corn dogs and I ordered the crispy spinach/potato blend. There was a wait for mine and even though I was at the front of the wait long, and hadn't waited long, I felt like they took it off too early. It was only crispy on one side. A little bit messy to eat, especially with the hot sauce I added, but very good. It was the first (and only) knish I've ever had. I liked it! I had a bite of the corndog also - the crusty outside was awesome! I really liked their batter. Wish husband had ordered the spicy one! Would have LOVED to try that one also.

    Tante's knish...just the best west coast knish!

    This guys know what they're doing. I look up their location on Facebook at all the festivals, fairs and concerts in SF and Oakland.They change the menu often, but their potato spinach knish is just amazing!

    Havana catered our baby shower. We ordered lechon, plantain crusted chicken, mac n cheese, corn…read moresaute and the mango spinach salad. Everything was delicious. It fed our crowd to satisfaction with plenty of leftovers! They delivered on time. Communication with staff was professional. They provide consistent high quality service and hard to beat prices. Highly recommend!

    I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.
