The Tasteful Kitchen

Ok so I had driven by this restaurant so many times, didn't think much of it...until I decided to give up meat for Lent and now hunting for vegetarian dining options around town and decided on The Tasteful Kitchen.Restaurant: parking is in the back on a gravel lot and the entrance is also in the back. The atmosphere is very intimate and cozy. There are paintings and pieces of stained glasses decorating the walls (which you can actually buy).Food: there are about 5-7 small plates and main dishes and one special feature dish. I got the papaya salad and spaghetti squash (the special of the night) and it was super flavorful and delicious. My hubs got the asparagus soup and portobello Wellington and basically cleaned his plate in 5 mins. We were both extremely impressed with the service and how wonderful the food was prepared and how filling it was. Additionally, we each got their mock tails and those are to die for! I definitely recommend this restaurant to any and all diners, including as a change for meat lovers like me!!

Best and healthiest vegan food in the area! They mindfully source their food and cook them mindful of spices oils, everything healthy, healthy fats, healthy spices everything used in moderation and farm fresh from farm to table portions are huge. Each meal is bursting full of unique flavor such a wonderful, find and experience whether you're vegan or not, you're gonna love these foods!!!! We came into town to stay for a few days, looking for fresh vegan to fuel our bodies! Thankful we found this GEM! We ordered a half a week of meals delivered to our hotel the owner, Alex, was very accommodating and the entire team delivered meals, desserts, & soups based on our specifications!!! The ambiance of connecting, meal planning, purchase , and delivery was seamless!! We need to clone this company!!! Thank you Tasteful Kitchen!!!

Wow!! You are in for a wonderful experience:Ambiance: Romantic low light with soft piano/jazz just right softening the background. Low quantity of seating feels warm and comfortable with warm earth tone walls and Tucson tasteful art. Service: Custom and perfect, feels couture. They care.Food: Wow consistently. Today had the sushi rolls as a starter. Delicious preparation for the eyes and hearty size for a mouthful each piece. Sauce around it allows you to customize to my pallet whether sweet or sriracha hot. Then the cauliflower cream soup.The chef's special was damn adventurous complimented with incredients for safety: deep greens were intense like I like it with smooth safety of sweet red cabbage, neutralizing quinoa and rich sweet white yams. The best was the smell from a tiny bunch of thime that created a thick blanket of scent that I can lean back and enjoy in breaks throughout the meal. Highly recommend. Booyakasha

This is the best vegetarian restaurant in Tucson. Most of the items in the menu are vegan and gluten free. We were traveling and passing by and came 2 times to enjoy the creativity of the Chef. The first night, we had the 4-course dinner. I enjoyed the Miso Eggplant plate. Hubby had the Green Chile Polenta plate. The dessert was Apple Spiced Crumbled with blueberry sauce. Yummy, yummy, yummy!The 2nd night I ordered the Korean BBQ Cauliflower Bites. Oh my! I just kept eating it because they were sooo gooood. Hubby doesn't like cauliflowers so I ate them all by myself. The cauliflower bites stay in the menu because it is so popular. I also had the Portebello Wellington. I didn't have a room for desserts.Hubby had the Krabby Cakes and Dark Chocolate Covered Pecan Stuffed Dates. The food is not just delicious but it is also so pretty. The presentation is so artistic and elegant. I can compare this place to the Millenium, Crossroads, Little Pine, etc.The dining rooms are decorated nicely and very artistically. A very elegant and warm atmosphere. The staff were all so nice and friendly. They are very helpful. The parking is in the back of the restaurant on a gravel lot.

The only reason I give one star is how slowwwwww everything went. We came here for a surprise birthday party and set reservations for 730pm. The girl we were surprising didn't show up until 800pm but at that time we still were not seated yet so we weren't able to surprise her at the table. It was incredibly hot inside the restaurant. We ordered food which took a while but they had forgotten two dishes and we had to remind them about the two other individuals after most people had already finished eating. Waters also took a long time for refills unless we asked even though the restaurant was emptying out and was almost empty by the time we got seated and had food on the table. One of the servers also told us we would have one room to ourselves but we ended up sharing the room with two other parties (which is totally cool but they didn't have to say that if it wasn't true). Cauliflower steak was amazing! Their signature dish is the eggplant but all of us liked the cauliflower steak the best and felt that the eggplant dish was mediocre. Probably wouldn't come here again since it took incredibly long for food that wasn't worth it.

My guest and I enjoyed a nice elegant dinner while visiting Tucson. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was fresh and delicious. Almost everything on the menu was vegan. The decor was elegant and cozy. My guest and I ordered the collard green wrap appetizer. Seriously mind-blowing freshness and flavor. Absolutely delicious. I ordered the beet burger. The burger itself was good as well as its accompaniments. I did not care for the sauce on the burger which seemed to have horseradish in it. My guest ordered the herb roasted cauliflower dish which was served with roasted tomatoes, pesto, potatoes and collard greens. Ah-mazing. The sauce on the cauliflower was so good! The cauliflower was perfectly roasted. I would recommend that dish to anyone.We were so full from dinner and appetizer that we did not have room for dessert unfortunately.The manager visited our table several times and seemed to genuinely care for the guests, which was nice.I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and also recommend making a reservation.

Well deserved review, like really! While in Tucson for a business trip I come across The Tasteful Kitchen. First, make sure to make a reservation, they rarely take walk in, we were lucky as a walk in or probably looked extremely tired or hungry, lol. It's quite hidden in Tucson, AZ. You'll park in the back not the front street, and you'll see the orange house. Everything in Tucson is very personal and cute. Enough parking, just an FYI.The restaurant is not big but has enough tables, but the waiting is tiny, but they do offer sitting outside. A unisex restroom kept clean next to the waiting area. Now, beauty is in the food. Holy, mother earth, I would drive 6.5 hours just to go back and eat. Their food is the bomb, no lie. It's the bomb! My favorite starter is the jicama street tacos, and sushi rolls, and the blueberry basil drink.For Entrée the Cauliflower steak is to die for which will come with a soup or salad. It makes you never miss the meat again, everything was well thought when creating this dish. Big enough to share, or just pig out as I did. Dessert: Banana bread, and holy mother of all desserts, these dishes have nothing on Morton's steak house and priced amazing without making you go broke. Warm enough to melt in your mouth, the right amount of crunch and you can taste the banana so deliciously. I swear I'm driving back just to have dinner. We ordered so much food and we paid $46 with tip each with a good friend of mine.

I am so happy to find their meal delivery service! I have tried other meal delivery services which were fair to good but this is so much better than anything out there!! The service, convenience, ease of ordering, meals and the variety of offerings are all A+++. There is no preparation, just heat and eat! The pricing is great too as each entree makes two servings for my spouse and myself. This is seriously delicious and healthy food for anyone, either those who are eating only plant based meals, those who love meat, diary, eggs, but are curious about plant based meals and those who want to reduce the amount of meat, etc in their diet but don't want to give up flavor!

I just received my third food delivery from The Tasteful Kitchen, and the meals continue to be GREAT! The ingredients taste really fresh and and the selection and variety is good. I love that they are 100% vegan. I just polished off the Eggplant Piccatta. Fabulous! The eggplant was cooked to perfection, as were the asparagus. It came with a rice medley and a delightful caper sauce that really set everything off. I'm so happy that these guys are doing food delivery. I've tried several on-line vegan food delivery services, but none of them come close to being this good.

I was looking for a plant based meal service with zero prep required and The Tasteful Kitchen blew my expectations out of the water. There is a good selection of meals to choose from each week (so far after two months none of the meals have been repeats), and I think the price is reasonable for the quality. This service drastically cuts down the time I spend on thinking about meals for the week. I highly recommend this service for anyone who's wanting easy, delicious meals.
