Met with friends for dinner here. The cashier was super nice. Gave us menus to look over. Ambience is. Very chill and the inside decor is very nice! Ordered the two item combo shrimp, skewers, and chicken With rice and got the falafel. It was busy, but service was pretty quick. Everything was so good! If you're looking for a quick healthy meal, this is the place. I will definitely be back! read more

Came back again! I knew if I went back to Palm Springs, I would have to stop by here again. This time, introduced this place to four new people and they all enjoyed the food as well. Loaded fries: flavorful, filling, and shareable Koobideh plate: I really liked this koobideh - lots of flavor. I ordered it with the peach burrata salad on the side, which was also delicious. Choice of sauces to go with your plate. The only small feedback is bringing all plates out together (or at least close in timing). One of the folks with us sat for a while without his food, while the rest of us waited for him to get his food. Miscellaneous: - Plenty of parking via a shared parking lot with other businesses - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Good for families - The large tables do bring in large groups, so its average to slightly above average noise level read more

I'm a fan. I've never been to a Luna Grill before but had the pleasure too while staying in LQ looking for dinner on a Monday night. It was pretty packed when I arrived which is a good sign. They had the food ready for me 5 minutes after I arrived meaning that the app had the correct time approximation. I thoroughly enjoyed the gyro sandwich as well as the French fries platter that had chicken and their yummy "spicier" sauce. I'd return for sure! read more

I placed an order through the website for pickup, but upon arrival, my order was not ready. I made the trip during my lunch break from Indio and left with my bag of food after a 15-minute wait. In my haste to return before the lunch rush traffic on Highway 111, I neglected to check the contents of the bag. Upon reaching my destination, I discovered that several items were missing and that the portion served was quite small. Given the price I was charged, this was disappointing. Unfortunately, I could not return to address the issue as my lunch break was nearly over. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, and I have typically enjoyed my experiences at the PD location, so I will likely return there in the future. read more

My mom and I love Luna Grill! It's a convenient location right off 111 and the brand new space is nice and clean. They are consistent with the food quality and, *knock on wood*, always get our order right. I always get extra sauces or modify something so I'm happy that everything comes as ordered. They also don't skimp on the portion sizes and their aguas frescas are the bomb too! Super refreshing to go with a meal you feel good about eating. This is a place that I'd choose to eat inside or outside on their patio as the atmosphere is pretty inviting. For a fast casual spot, they do a pretty good job. P.S. corporate needs to bring back the lemon garlic chicken!! I was disappointed to see it go, come back, and then leave again. read more

The menu is extensive with plenty of excellent selections, though the pricing is definitely premium. For instance, a Cobb salad topped with fish can easily exceed $45; while the quality is high, that's a significant jump over nearby staples like Daily Grill. Service was friendly but lacked consistency; our server disappeared mid-meal without a hand-off, requiring us to flag down other staff. Overall, it's a bright, airy, and stylish spot well worth a visit, provided you're prepared for the 'luxury' price point.

Everything down to the chicken, the fillings, and the crepe itself were just delicious. I came as a party of 3 and for the first half of our eating experience we were eating in complete silence because of how good our wraps tasted. That itself should be a testament to how great this place is. As an added plus, they had a water station & great music to vibe with. The contents can be a bit heavy though so if you're looking for a light breakfast, sharing one crepe wrap amongst two would be the way to go. Towards the end of my crepe I noticed that I was slowing down because of how heavy the flavor profiles were, so having something to contrast that, like a lighter side dish, would've been nice.

Kiki's Sala: salanova lettuce is unusual but tasty -- like arugula without the bitterness. This is a large portion which you could share with four people as an appetizer. Sugar Snap Pea pizza: unexpected flavors with snap peas, mushrooms, & stracciatella. Table was divided on whether this worked. Cacio e Pepe: this version uses bucatini and is a little creamier than the classic. I ate it all regardless. Grilled Avocado: the name ignores that it includes fried artichokes as well. Satisfying and not too garlicky. Another large portion. The only disappointing item was the Polenta -- a little bland. If you get the Chicken Parm, you only need a half portion. Jack says the best two dishes are the Caesar and Linguini & Clams. They fly in Juniors cheesecake from NY! Full bar, attractive ambiance, and well trained staff. Go to Kiki's.

From the moment we walked in, the experience stood out. We had to wait a bit longer than expected…read morefor our table, but the staff handled it so thoughtfully--our waitress was incredibly friendly and sweet, and even brought us complimentary bread while we waited, which immediately made us feel taken care of. Once seated, the service only got better. Our waitress continued to be warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. What really impressed us was the owner making the rounds to personally greet each table--it added such a personal, heartfelt touch that you don't often see. As for the food, it absolutely delivered. The chicken parm was perfectly cooked with rich, comforting flavors, and the hanger steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Between the exceptional service and the delicious dishes, this was one of those meals that leaves you already planning your next visit.

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.
