Nestled in a charming open-air setting, Kitchen in the Desert presents a delightful dining experience that captivates with its vibrant flavors and inventive menu. Guests rave about the exquisite Brussels sprouts, flavorful jerk chicken, and unique Doubles, a savory chickpea-filled treat. Although the atmosphere is inviting, some have noted inconsistencies in service and menu pairings, particularly with the chicken sandwich offerings. Despite these hiccups, patrons consistently appreciate the friendly vibe and quality of food, making it a must-visit spot for adventurous eaters and those seeking a cozy post-hike meal in the heart of 29 Palms.
