The hype is REAL - Edit
Insanely great sandwiches. Get them for hikes--they have a bunch of cold sandwiches that keep for a day, or pressed hot ones to eat on the spot. The homemade seitan on their sandwiches is FREAKING INSANE, ask for a sample. I'm blown away. My fav was the Grinder, the Hippie (the most filling and healthiest option), and the BLT. Tons of homemade deli items and vegan groceries too.

Amazing Vegan Deli! - Edit
I cannot overstate how impressed I am with this place. Not only does it serve delicious food. It also has an extensive deli selection. As a vegan it has been a long time since I have been able to shop a deli section and this did not disappoint. We went on taco Tuesday. The tacos were amazing. We also picked up a lasagna,Carne Asada, apple pie, and frozen chili. If only we had some thing like this at home. I would shop there every day. Everything made from scratch I just can’t rate this place highly enough.

Worth the hype - Edit
I wish that I didn’t wait until my last day to visit. Sandwiches are big and delicious. I had the chupacabra chicken with a side of slaw. Both were great - The chicken is thin sliced and fried Milanese style. Also had a piece of lemon cake - not too sweet and super moist. Will return on next visit.

Everything is SO good! - Edit
Been a fan of Chef Tanya's since way back when Native Foods had just begun. This restaurant is a bit more elevated and super yummy. We had the Pastrami Mami and Ban Mi. I never had these made out of animals, so I cannot and do not compare. They were terrific. And the house vinegrette is delicious!
Read morePros: Pastrami Mami sandwich!

Consistently Excellent! - Edit
Our first choice when we visit. Tanya's is so great because we never have to ask about ingredients; we know it's always just quality and fabulous tasting. Decent portions, many options, outstanding service, awesome desserts...we have everything good to say about CTK. A must destination for vegans and whole foods plant-based eaters. Highly recommended.
Read morePros: Plentiful items to choose from., Many whole food plant-based options., Great treats and grab-n-gos.

5🌟 Great food, great people. - Edit
Tanya and the gang are so lovely, the food is mouth watering, and the crack cheese really is addictive. After a long cycle ride, the aquafresca is perfect, and to sit and rest while looking at the mountains is oh so peaceful #gratitude 🕉😊🌱🌴

Best sandwich ever - Edit
Such a cute little restaurant with the best sandwiches we've ever had! Great deli vibe with sides you'd expect to see and delicious desserts. Not that you'll have room - the sandwiches are so satisfying! (Check in on Yelp for a free Agua Fresca.)

Positively Addictive - Edit
I love Chef Tanya's Kitchen! The lasagna and garlic bread makes me swoon! The crack cheese ricotta lives up to its name. And the pumpkin seed pesto and the marinara sauce are supreme. The menu is varied. The staff goes out of their way to be both personable and fabulous. It's nice to be able to take home premade pasta, salad dressings, etc. from the fridge. The tables are set up to be shared and fosters community-building. There are great books, buttons, stickers, and condiments to buy. Cooking classes are offered. And the entire vibe there is positive and uplifting. I consider myself a regular.

Mmmm Good! - Edit
Now I know why people rave about this place. Wish we had it near where I live. We had the pastrami and French dip. Both were amazing. They even sell pre-packaged seitan, various flavors of Mac-n-cheese, vegan croutons, and other vegan stuff to aid in ones own cooking. Very small with limited seating so you might want to plan on take-away.

WOW - Edit
Stopped by Tanya’s based on HC reviews and wow are we glad we did. We had the Cuban and the French Dip. Literally the best sandwiches we’ve ever eaten. I hope the people around here that have access to Tanya’s food realize how good they have it!

Great takeout options! - Edit
I used to preorder the Wednesday night meal (a house special declared each week) but now some of those options are on the regular menu. I highly recommend the lasagna with a Caesar salad side. As a regular patron, I’ve ordered the holiday lasagna (feeds 10 people easily), and tried almost all of their sandwiches (the Chupacabra being a standout fav).

ALL vegan food!!! - Edit
So fresh and delicious!! We had the specials which are served after 4pm. Follow on Instagram to see what the daily specials are. I almost didn't go due to the description that Happy Cow gave saying that most of the food was prepackaged.

What a great surprise! - Edit
I searched on the app for the closest restaurant near me and this was it. It was amazing! We had the hippy ribby (maybe not the exact name) sandwich and the tempeh burger and both were delicious. I hope to go again before we leave town!

Our favorite vegan restaurant ANYWHERE!!! - Edit
We have been going to Chef Tanya’s Kitchen every time we are in the Palm Springs area. The menu is fantastic but, try the daily specials. I love the African Peanut soup and the Eggy Salad. Also, their nightly bowl specials are awesome. And Tanya and her crew are so friendly.
