74. pastrami
My Mom (a native New Yorker) and I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich with fries. We had it delivered and I live about 20min away. We also requested a lean cut. We were blown away!! The portions were huge! The fries were just the right crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pastrami was awesome and lean as requested!! Definitely worth every penny!
98. tuna salad (white albacore)
The BEST tuna sandwich hands down! Always fresh and they use the perfect amount of mayo.
Pastrami
Food is always high quality and tasty.We LOVE the mushroom barley soup, plenty of mushrooms yummy! Pastrami and corned beef sandwiches were great you get plenty of meat. We LOVE MANHATTAN'S IN THE DESERT. Staff is friendly!
Chicken liver and onions
Excellent food and generous portions. We are so happy their patio is now open, already been back twice and brought guests with us. Friendly staff who take good care of you. A great variety of delicious food and breakfast is served all day.
76. Rare roast beef
The roast beef was very moist and flavorful and I would happily order again. Also, the onion rings are outstanding.
62. Reuben
We actually got 3 sandwiches, Reuben, Club, Brisket........all three were made perfectly and the sides were great. Our take out service was VERY good and not a thing was missed. Everything was soooo good that we did it again the next day !!!!
Cherry cheesecake
My favorite is actually the plain cheesecake - no cherry topping. Why hide the delicious flavor of this dessert. It's not too sweet and has the perfect texture. You get a nice big piece too!
Mushroom Barley
This is, by far, my favorite soup!! Great flavor, nice & thick, I order it every time I'm there (eating in or taking it to go). LOVE IT!!!
Quesadilla ranchero with basted eggs, and bacon
One of my favorite breakfast items.
Onion Rings
Onion rings are awesome!
Carrot cheesecake
Best cheesecake in the desert!
12. Brisket, pastrami, jack cheese
Best restaurant, great atmosphere, and friendly service. It is a sin to not leave with some of the delicious desserts to take home. Best restaurant in the valley.
62. Reuben
Nothing like a good deli Reuben. Thank you Manhattan in the Desert, I know you are always there and consistent, especially when guests come to town. Yum!
93. French dip
The French dip with pastrami and fries is always amazing! Full of flavor and a BIG sandwich!
Cobb salad
Great Cobb salad and customer service especially during these stressful times it was a real treat!
62. Reuben
Same as below comments!
Fettuccine Alfredo
This dish is so good! My daughter ate your chicken fettuccine alfredo and hasn't stopped talking about it since. It was rich without being overwhelming with a generous portion (enough for two). She loved this meal so much that we mad another family trip based on this dish!
2. Corned beef, pastrami, and chopped liver
The bread is exceptional! The meats are fresh beautifully sliced & generous. The service is fantastic. The restaurant is clean, bright and beautiful. You really feel at home and welcome here. We've been coming here since they opened and it just keeps getting better!
Corned Beef and Cabbage
Always a superb Dinner choice! Have to take half of it home for tomorrow's luch. Cliff is still the very best server you'll ever have anywhere. A true gem👍😇
33. Hot Corned beef, Swiss and Coleslaw
Delicious one of my favorite things to eat is Deli style sandwich and this place does it awesome. I'd really recommend everything on the menu great people great food.
Pastrami and fried egg sandwich on a toasted bagel with melted Swiss cheese
One of their best brunchfest items. Delish!
Corned Beef and Cabbage
The corned beef and cabbage was a generous portion and cooked to perfection and very tender with the cabbage also cooked perfectly and not mushy and soft.
Corned Beef and Cabbage
The best corned beef. Very tasty - pilled high. Large portion. Served with half a cabbage plus sauted veggies and 2 dinner rolls. Tons of food. Great price.
62. Reuben
Had it with Turkey, very tender and delicious. 1000 island dressing was a great addition!
Salmon salad
Excellent salad. Very fresh and plentiful assortment of veggies as well as lettuce. Salmon nicely grilled. Caesar salad dressing perfect.
72. Turkey burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion
Always so good and reliable! Great turkey burger, bbq chicken, and Cobb salad! Those are our favs! Also anything from the bakery is a treat! This has become our bday cake or desert GO TO! Amazing and AFFORDABLE!
Vegetarian omelette & cheese
The omelette was very good. However, one normally expects an egg dish to come with potatoes and bread. This order did not. I asked the clerk if the restaurant stopped serving sides on egg dishes since there weren't any options to select the "comes with." They said they still serve the sides. Only then was I able to ask for home fries and a bagel. You need to update your website to show "comes with" are available and should be specified in the "additional comments" section.
74. pastrami
Super lean, awesome flavor, HUGE sandwich - what's not to love?????
62. Reuben
Ordered 1/2 beef brisket, 1/2 pastrami. Did not get any pastrami :(
38. Chicken salad, bacon
Manhattan in the Desert is one of my favorite places in Palm Springs. This was the first time I tried this one and it did not disappoint. It is a generous sized sandwich filled with tasty chicken salad and crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato. What made it perfect was the double baked rye bread it comes on. I will definitely order it again after I work my way through the rest of the menu.
Roasted breast of turkey
Very tasty
Brisket
The Brisket lunch or dinner is my favorite dish. The meat is always tender and juicy. Often I have to get a to go bag because the portion is large and the sides are excellent.
Baked Meatloaf
Delicious 😋
64. Patty melt
My order was perfect, I also ordered a hot turkey sandwich without the bread. They followed my directions without a hitch. The pickup and payment was seamless. Thank you for making my lunch a quick and easy trip into town.
29. Liverwurst, roast beef, cream cheese
It is something that I will purchase again.
39. Corned beef, pastrami
I've been coming to Manhatten Deli for many years. I'm never disappointed! Food is to die for :) My girlfriends and I drove in from Menifee, (It's so worth it) to dine there (open Table program), the waiters were very sweet attentive and knowledable. The only thing they forgot were the wonderful dill pickles, didn't realize that until we were all back home!!! Otherwise, thumbs up to all. I also brought, Rye bread and bagels and my friends bought bread items as well. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious! Do yourselves a favor and visit Manhatten Deli if you really want to know what good food tastes like. Thank you guys so very much. xoxox Jo L Ray
2. Corned beef, pastrami, and chopped liver
The best in town
Chicken liver and onions
One of the best prepared chicken liver dinners I have eaten. Have actually ordered this in NYC several different restaurants but Manhattan in the Desert's dinner by far still the best. This restaurant is truly one of our best and favorite dinner spots in the desert. Very lucky to have them here!
58. Tuna salad and egg salad
Fresh and a great combo! The Black Out Fudge Cake makes this lunch home Run!!! Favorite place to eat breakfast lunch or dinner! Always friendly staff and good food!!
Carrot cheesecake
Cheesecake or carrot cake on their own are phenomenal. Put these two together and it is over the top exceptional. Don't let people lie to you and tell you that you can't eat the whole thing!
