The dishes at this restaurant are so creative and tasty! We had the vegetarian sushi, the Portobello Wellington, and the Miso glazed eggplant. I'm going to be dreaming about these dishes for a while. More...

The Tasteful Kitchen is one of the best choices in town for healthy eating. Health is extremely important to me and it's often hard to go out and enjoy a restaurant experience without feeling I'm compromising my diet and nurtrition. Not here! They have tons of raw, organic, vegan, and vegetarian options. And the cooks are amazing... The food is absolutely mouth watering and divine. The scenery is also gorgeous with artwork on the walls and very romantic lighting. I always ask my dates to take me here! More...

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. More...

The menu here is a journey to read, I had an amazing vegan cheese soup to start, followed by the cauliflower steak. Both were absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to going back to try something else. More...

After two weeks of touring Arizona and eating uninspired food in remote locations, we were delighted to find The Tasteful Kitchen just a short walk from our final stop in Tucson. Staff were friendly, the restaurant is peaceful and well designed. There's an interesting menu with a lot of variety for vegetarians. No alcohol is served, but you can pay a corkage charge and bring your own. Our only complaint was that the food was pricey. More...

I was amazed by how tasty the food was here. If you are in for a nice and long dining session, I would totally recommend this place. The service was really good, he knew his menu and if it was too much for us as an appetizer or not. The nachos were the best part of the evening. My friends were amazed by how good it was as well. Only downside was that there were only a few desserts available. Conclusion: great food, nice atmosphere and the place looks nice and it's not rushed. More...

The Tasteful Kitchen delivers flavorful and inventive vegan cuisine. All things considered, this is one of the best vegan spots I've been to. The ingredients are high quality and the food is not precious or overpriced. The herb crusted cauliflower and the miso eggplant medallions are both menu highlights. If they have the portobello mushroom pot roast special, go for it. It's deep. It's real deep. Hard to go wrong at this place. More...

This is a small intimate restaurant. It’s a vegetarian place with all vegan options but one. I asked why she doesn’t just drop the one item to make it officially “vegan”, and her answer was the greatest thing ever. She offers a vegan carrot cake that her mom personally makes. It’s a family recipe and I loved that she kept it (even though in vegan).This place made good so pretty that I felt guilty eating it. I will give this place 5 stars! Everyone was so nice and the service was amazing. More...

Spectacular service and magnificent menu. The chef is extraordinarily gifted with plant-based culinary skills. She refrains from overcooking, and prioritizes cruciferous vegetables over indigestible nuts and seeds. Her sauces are incredibly rich, yet they contain little fat and not much salt either. Wonderful, fresh cuisine. More...

Most restaurants in Tucson, AZ are of a mexican fare with an American twist. I wanted something different so I searched online for such a place. The Tasteful Kitchen lives up to its name. The food is fresh and delicious. The chef is very creative in creating unexpected vegan/vegetarian dishes. The wait service was very knowledgeable, professional and similar to a five star restaurant. The ambiance and decor was modern, chic, and colorful with original art for sale. I liked the fact that all money transactions are done on the spot at the table. It was unexpected and I wasn't prepared. I miss calculated the tip in haste but corrected it in cash once realized. I highly recommend this place for all palates as everything on the menu will be enjoyed by all! More...

Vegan fine dining in downtown Tucson!! This place is fantastic, very cozy atmosphere and tucked away in a walkable part of downtown Tucson. Kind of a hidden gem actually. Had the cauliflower steak which was delicious and was accompanied by their minestrone soup which was equally good. All fresh ingredients mostly sourced locally. Very generous portions left me more than satisfied. Very friendly staff and great service. Looking forward to returning soon. More...

We celebrated my husbands birthday here for the first time. Everything was delicious from the sushi roll to the carrot cake. The southern greens and beans were seasoned to perfection and the okra hush puppies were to die for. I am not vegetarian and was pleasantly surprised how well everything taste. We will definitely be back. Service was excellent! More...

Presentable and delicious. The server and host were attentive. Ate the butternut soup, spring rolls, the butternut and green chili polenta, and some sort of Italian soda (my boyfriend ordered it). Enjoyed every minute of it. It's a small place but well worth the taste. I recommend using debit over credit card due to the extra charge. More...
