43 Best Delis in Los Angeles

“Real good 👍 the staff is very friendly“

“I travel all over the country, eating at fantastic restaurants, and I was extremely happy with everything we received, including the iced tea. This restaurant is a must-visit when you're in L.A.! Kudos! Delicious 😋“

“I've been eating here 2 to 4 times a month for 2years, and I've never been disappointed! I usually get a Tuna or Roast Beef sandwich, and occasionally a Bagel & Cream Cheese. Today I got Californian & Turkey Chili with an Iced Tea!!! I was so happy!!! It was great, & the Turkey Chili was to die for!!! Thank you, Anita!! You should can that Chili!!! My boyfriend Steve never told me about the Chili!!“

“Wow! What a find! First time here
Had the chicken Shawarma. Massive lunch plate. Came w pita and hummus. Salad. Mediterranean plate was amazing too. Couldn't believe how much you get for the price. Newish to LA, I'll be bringing all my friends and family that want to tour Hollywood to this place! What a gem! The people are amazing too! Make you feel like family!“

“Deli shop that has a robust menu (sammiches, salads, pasta, and pizza) with a variety of flavors for your palate. They have canned and bottled specialty beer and wine that will surely fit your mood. The vibe is so chill, you feel right at home. They get busy during lunch and dinner hours so be prepared to wait a bit for your food, but you can kill time by browsing their drinks. Great place for lunch.“

“I ordered an open face MCB on gluten free everything bagel with vegan cream cheese which was delicious. My husband ordered a white fish salad bagel on an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese which he enjoyed. We also ordered a generous side of pickles. The coffee was solid too. The interior is well designed and the booths offer cozy, private seating.“

“Excellent bahn mi! Pictured is the classic cold cut sandwich that comes with a deliciously salty sauce on the side. The bread is the ideal texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love bahn mis, this place will not disappoint! The staff is also very friendly.“

“First time there, the food was awesome and customer service was excellent.“

“CHICKEN PESTO PANINI AND SWEET POTATO FRIES...��� ���“

“Every moment. The location, staff, cleanliness, organization , but most definitely the food !!! See you there real soon. Livin that #volkxlyfe !!! Go lakers !!“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“Grand Central Market is fun and Wexlers was good.“

“I was on the lookout for a decent sub sandwich place and found Olive It on Google. The inside of the establishment is nice and quaint. I got the Neapolitan Sandwich with a bag of plantain chips and a soda which was not only delicious but also very reasonably priced; for the same amount I'd get regular at Jersey Mike's.

This is a good small business that makes great sandwiches. And if you're looking for a Subway or Jersey Mike's replacement, give Olive It a try.“

“My wife has her own sandwich which is a Michelle sandwich turkey, provolone, easy on the mayo and mustard with avocado on toasted Italian roll, just ask for a Michelle they know what it consists of with a bag of chips and pelegrino pamogranit and tangerine try it you'll like it and tell them Michelle sent you thank you and bon a petite ?.“

“Love this concept, menu, and all the creative components. All the sandwiches sound delicious, I could’ve gotten the whole menu. As far as execution though, I felt the sandwiches could have had a little more balance to them. I got Jeff’s special, and although tasty, it was more cheese than pastrami and quite oily. I don’t have a problem with getting messy but every other aspect of the sandwich was getting overshadowed by the cheese. Not enough kraut to punch and not enough pastrami to feel like a proper Reuben. Wanted to give them another shot so I got another, the turkey salad sandwich, but after a half it just tasted like a chill cheese frito. I believe in you guys and am sure there’s other delicious stuff on the menu!! I just think the sandwiches are a little out of balance and maybe the owner needs to go back in there and see if procedures/amounts are being followed.“

“Lilies is a hole in the wall mini market that’s adjacent to a 76 gas station. Lilly is so sweet and I love coming here. Their tuna salad sandwich is really good. One of the best items, but I find myself ordering the ham sandwich more often and I get those sandwiches on toasted potato bread. They are really excellent and she can also include chips for a small up charge. She usually has chocolate cake and cheesecake and macaroni and I believe potato salad. I’ve had the macaroni salad and it’s great. I haven’t tried the cake but I’m tempted every time I see them one of these times I’m gonna get a slice of one of them. I become one of her regular customers and I just call ahead by 15 or so minutes and it’s always ready for me when I get there. She also has a nice selection of bottled drinks.“

“I used to frequent this place as a down student literally over 12 years ago. And every no and then if I was downtown, I’d stop in. I still think about their food and I’m across the country now. So fresh, tasty, just exactly what you need. Especially because downtown is a bit of a hassle t get food in. The staff were always so friendly and gracious. Very quick too. Highly recommend.“

“BEST sandwich in LA hands down (I get the broadway), we have them at least once a week because we live close. Excellent customer service always. Not just great sandys but also fantasticly fresh shrimp salad and pasta's great too. They also have a unique selection of natural wine and beer. We love heights <3“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“Grade A (95): St Vincent Deli, is my favorite restaurant in the alley. I can't believe how much food comes out of this tiny little restaurant. They have Shawerma (gyros style) but tastes amazing. They have fresh home made food as a feature every day. I specially love Thursdays (Kufteh) which is ground beef kebab in small finger like shape in tomato sauce and fries (delicious). The alley is an Historic and cozy Alley with hidden gems as restaurants.“

“A friend of mine brought me here. I live so close and regret not coming here sooner. Their daily special with Shish Kebab was excellent. Can't wait to bring more friends for a quick lunch. They have seating with Cafe tables hidden in the back.“

“My wife and I shared a smoked turkey, cheese and avocado sandwich and it was plenty for a late lunch and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, my wife enjoyed the lentil soup also. we shall return when in the area.“

“The convenience store had a fantastic array of fresh produce and essential toiletries. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the aisles with a smile. The cleanliness and organization of the store were impeccable. It's evident they prioritize quality products for their customers. Despite the top-notch quality, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, making it a go-to spot for my daily essentials. A definite recommendation for anyone seeking convenience without compromising on quality.“

“Love Magee’s! The absolute best in meat, mashed potatoes, and gravy!“

“NOTE: 75 cents surcharge for entrees containing eggs due to the egg shortage

Budget lunch options in Sawtelle are hard to come by. At NY Bagel and Deli, you can get a good old fashion new york style bagel for less than $10 (including an add on and the egg surcharge). Their bagels seemed to be made in house. I found their everything bagel to be delicious! It was very filling as well.

I came later around 1pm and they ran out of hashbrowns. Hoping they have hashbrowns the next time I visit!“

“Your one stop shop for breakfast burritos, sandwiches, salads, wraps, Mexican food, burgers, and much more.

I love this place so much. Great prices. Food is always satisfying and the service is quick.

My favorites are the double play breakfast burrito and the chicken Caesar wrap.

I miss the old online app and I wish they were open for dinner/weekends, but it’s still a truly valuable community establishment that we need to support!“

“They are so sweet. Always make my breakfast just the way I like it and coffee fresh every Morning. There is a place to sit and eat or to get some work done. Quiet peaceful shop. If your are shopping in the jewelry district early morning this is a great place to check out. Enjoy! :)#jaenote“

“They have the best selection in food not only is the food there fresh but they also have a very good selection in healthy foods. They also have homemade recipes in traditional cuisine. The food is very GOOD and I love all of their healthy hot dishes, pasta salads, panini sandwiches and more. The people working there are very nice. Everyday they have different homemade soups.“

“I tried this place for lunch since I was looking for something new that also wasn't so heavy like other items around the area are. I chose this place because the of the reviews and also their menu. It seems all over the place since it goes from wraps, to sandwiches, sushi rolls, poke, smoothies, ice blended drinks, and even boba!

I ordered the chicken wrap for lunch and chose a side of potato salad. You have three options, which are fries, salad or potato salad. I'll try the other two the next time, maybe with a sandwich. The chicken wrap, I assumed, I was going to receive cold. To my surprise it was warm and that's because it comes with freshly grilled chicken. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and surrounded by crisp veggies. It also had like a ranch sauce or caesar dressing sauce or similar. But it all worked out well together.

The potato salad was just okay, and it was nothing amazing. It had a decent flavor. Personally, I would not order this item again as it could have been better.

The ice blended coffee was great. Exactly what I had expected from an ice blended beverage. Nothing amazing and I would order it again, but this time in a larger size for me.

Overall, this place was much better than I had expected, and it does deserve it's rating as the food was packaged neatly, looked great and tasted great. I will definitely be coming back to this place to try their other items. The place is nice and the prices are more than fair and inexpensive.“

“This place is great! Food truck in front is tasty and consistent. Service is super friendly, place is damn clean and if you’re regular there they definitely treat you like family. I’d give more stars if i could, this place is solid and priced fair. Especially considering the area it’s in. The shop in front is part of the food truck and has really good healthy smoothies I’d highly recommend! Get the detox drink 🫡“

“Authentic Bangladeshi food and groceries highly recommended by Shahnaz ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I stopped in here for the first time today and am very happy I did! I am from New York where we always stopped at Katz. I would say they are a tad bit over priced, but we are in Cali, not much to expect lol. They made it up by how well my bagel was made and how much my partner enjoyed their Ruben. I do think the Super Ruben had a great amount of meat on it and was prepared very well ! I think this was a well worth stop, and if we were ever in a sandwich mood again, I would order here !
Hope everyone gets to check them out, they were very friendly and know what they’re doing !“

“I used the Vons app today for a one hour delivery time frame via the Carlsbad, CA store. After the third-party member picked up the order and did not deliver for almost three hours, I requested a refund for the melted ice cream which I received promptly. I certainly did not expect to see this a couple of hours later: a refund for the entire purchase...thank you Vons for going above and beyond with your customer service!“

“AMAZING!!! We eat here regularly and every single time we ascend with how good it is. These sandwiches are unlike anything I’ve had in LA and stand out from the rest!! The lady at the front is always so kind and helpful. ABSOLUTELY OUR FAVORITE!!!!“

“Top notch! We were visiting from the east coast and this was some of the greatest services I’ve seen. We had the menu explained to us, suggestions given, and follow up on our meal before leaving. We’d seen on Dinners Drive Inns and Dives.“

“Самое лучшее место в ЛА у Кости“

“Nice outdoor dining and the food was good“

“We had several amazing experiences at this place. We ended up going several times. Food was great as well as the wait staff and I got to talk to the owner for a long while Thursday as I asked her we could hang out a bit after lunch while waiting to go to the airport!! We were on an 8 day trip and are there FOUR times. The atmosphere is wonderful but the food is amazing.“

“Great customer service +18O56O854O6 NO NONSENSE and GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

“Going strong since the early 70s!“

“My favorite gem in LA. Every time I’m sick, my boyfriend gets me matzah ball soup, and it really is magical Jewish penicillin. It always makes me feel better. I dream about the chocolate rugelach. Delicious baked goods. Amazing service, Canter’s family-owned and they really do everything with love!“
