Flawless roast beef and pickles and a nice light coleslaw, but for me the star was the sourdough bread, which is the elusive perfect sandwich bread: flavorful without overshadowing any of the filling, both pillowy soft and slightly chewy, just barely enough substance to hold a thick sandwich together perfectly without making the sandwich bready and dry.

Friendly prompt service

It was very busy when I arrived but Robert was very quick (and awesome!!) at getting me a table!!

Anna was my server (she was amazing!! It was during a rush and she did wonderful balancing her tables, and she always checked on me- my water never went past half empty!!) and all of my food was DELISH!!

Alejandro also helped, and he was amazing, and very sweet!! You can tell there’s a lot of teamwork and rhythm within the staff!!

Altogether the people here are lovely-
Not to mention the food is FANTASTIC!! It’s affordable and everything I’ve EVER had has taste and quality!! They are VERY generous with their servings (as someone who can EAT, I always find myself full with plenty leftover!!) and it’s always so fresh and yummy!!

I think this is my new favorite spot; altogether the hospitality and experience is 100000/10, I highly highly recommend!!

Great deli! Love that they offer gluten-free sandwiches.

If you want to experience a truly good Jewish deli, this is the place. There are very few places I leave wanting to eat more snd this is one of them. Portions are huge, flavors, sublime, and I can’t even begin to describe how good the pastrami is.

I ordered delivery and was sadly very disappointed. We ordered the thanksgiving dinner, Monte Cristo, and the cheesecake brownie. The dinner portions were very small (dessert portion huge) and what there was wasn't very good. Everything tasted very processed with no good flavor and tons of salt, not homemade seeming as advertised, other than the veggie side which was unsalted steamed broccoli with out anything else. It unfortunately was giving meals on wheels/hospital food. The brownie was quite dry and dense with a very odd texture and had a strong cherry flavor surprisingly.

Perhaps I should have stuck with the classics!!

Coming in at 7pm, the 6 of us were seated quickly.

The food was good for some and mediocre for others. My Chicken Matza Ball Soup was decent. Was it worthy of the "World Famous" title? No. Stop lying on your menus, please.

We will return for breakfast, as their bagels looked amazing.
