About Mamaleh's Delicatessen Cambridge

Mamaleh's Delicatessen in Cambridge is a beloved destination for those craving delicious Jewish cuisine. The location is small with limited seating, but the service is known to be friendly and helpful. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, including the hearty veggie bagel sandwich and the light and yummy matzo ball soup. The corned beef is good, though some feel it could be improved if the bread were toasted or warm. Both the chopped liver and brisket receive high praise, being described as "inhaleable" and "incredible," respectively. The pickled herring is also recommended for fish lovers. The deli's side dishes, such as cauliflower and rugelach, are highly regarded.

Mamaleh's offers a selection of sweets that have been well-received, with standout items like macaroons, cheesecake, and flourless chocolate cake. Recently, the deli hosted cookbook author Beejhy Barhany, providing free recipe samples from her new book, which included *Shahi-spiced Praline Babka*, *Ethiopian barbecue corn bread with zhoug butter*, and *fresh roasted Ethiopian coffee*. However, there have been some negative reviews regarding the quality of the food during post-COVID times, with some customers finding the taste lacking. Despite this, Mamaleh's Delicatessen remains a popular spot for take-out orders, especially for their lox bagels and lox platters. The ambiance is light and bright, very casual and chill, making it a must-stop for anyone in Cambridge. Overall, Mamaleh's Delicatessen offers a variety of delicious Jewish dishes, though the in-person dining experience may vary.

Food was awful. Chicken with matzo ball had no taste, corned beef in sandwich was dry and stringy. I had egg, cheese, and salami sandwich and it was meh.

Coffee is delicious
