One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. We placed a lunch pickup order for a work team meeting. It was fresh, correct, packaged well, and ready on time. And everyone loved their sandwiches. So it was a definite hit. read more

Adamah Neighborhood Table - Pastrami Sandwich - New American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I always, without fail, crave matzo ball soup this time of year. Growing up Catholic, I discovered this incredible dish in my teens at Ella's Deli (RIP), and have been hooked ever since. For years I've been trying to find an alternative, and I'm happy to say I've finally found it! I mean, who better than the real deal- Hillel at the UW. The fact that FOUR different delivery services can bring it to me is awesome. It really hit the spot on a sick day. Did I order 4 slices of challah? Yes. Had I ever had challah previously? No. Officially never eating any other kind of bread, ever. Adamah Neighborhood Table, you've got me for life! read more

Adamah Neighborhood Table - Matzo Ball Soup & Challah - New American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

They have seasonal items and they offer delivery through Uber eats! Try their matzo ball soup & challah. They also have good sandwiches. We got sufganiyot for channukah and hamentachen for Purim. So happy to have found kosher food for delivery! Also they have a few vegan options including a vegan "chicken" sandwich. read more

Adamah Neighborhood Kitchen is Madison's only kosher certified restaurant. Nestled in among all the Langdon Street student housing, it often gets overlooked as a dining option. The minimalist interior includes a communal table that seat about 10, a corner boot and numerous 2-top and 4-tops. The menu features salads and sandwiches. I tried the $12 Ain't No Challah Back Girl sandwich (Smoked and Braised BBQ Brisket, Sumac Cole Slaw, Tomato, Pickled Veggies on an impressive Challah Roll). The vertical dimension of the sandwich made it difficult to eat by hand, so I had to resort to using a knife and folk. The brisket was incredibly tender, but needed a little salt for it to reach its full potential. The horseradish mayo kept the sandwich from becoming too dry and added appreciated element of extra flavor. While I loved the taste of the Challah roll, the size of the roll was out or proportion to the rest of the sandwich. The homemade slaw from purple cabbage made the sandwich Instagram-worthy. read more

Perfectly seasoned shakshuka and TERRIFIC olive cake (lemon). Try the "Ain't No Challah Back" sandwich if you like brisket, red cabbage, and huge portions. (Oh, and also really clever names!) Clean, bright, minimalist interior and fast, friendly service. Reasonable prices. COVID-19 prevention measures in place. read more

I think based on the other reviews I got the wrong things but for Purim I got hamantaschen and a smoothie. The hamantaschen were the least delicious I have ever eaten, with sparse filling and tasteless cookie. The smoothie was essentially a chunky fruit sauce, almost totally unblended. It tasted good, hence the extra star, but for the high price, this was super disappointing. read more

** Here are reviews from a group order I placed at work today ** The Persian style veggie soup : vegan, dill-icious. Nowhere else in downtown Madison [the land of cheese and cream] have I been able to find flavorful veggie/vegan soups (not including Miso soup, of course) Sweet Potato Hash: Literally irresistible. The sweet potato was the perfect consistency, and the flavors were notable yet not overpowering. The Herbed Tuna Sandwich : "great value. lots of food, lots of taste, only $8. This is like a $10 sandwich easy. Even the pickle was good!" Matzo Ball Soup : "Reminiscent of my grandmother's kitchen" Bagel & Lox : "I've never seen smoked salmon of this quality at such a reasonable price point before. The bagel seemed freshly baked, and the cream cheese had garden-fresh flavors" **We're all picky eaters, and even so, we collectively give Adamah a 5 Star Rating!!** read more

See all

I ordered a Turkey Club from Adamah and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious and quick the service was. The people outside of the building were extremely kind and so were the girls at the front desk. I live not too far away from the restaurant and am looking for places close by that I can enjoy. I will be returning to try more stuff off the menu. read more

So outstanding that this kosher resource exists in Madison! It's also nice to go to the Hillel to mingle in the community when you're doing tour kosher marketing! Thanks for creating this resource! read more

My group of six of us went there during our one hour lunch break on Tuesday. We were the first ones in the door when they opened and thought that it would be a great place for a fast lunch. Yeah.....we were wrong. We were very disappointed, for the following reasons: 1) It took most of us 50 minutes to receive our food. Not only that, but there were a number of people who came in afterwards who received their food first (same meals, it wasn't like we were ordering anything that took a long time to make). This was very frustrating, especially since we were in a time crunch. And, we were HUNGRY! As an apology, they gave us some free muffins and cookies (which really weren't that good at all). 2) My co-worker had pieces of plastic in her sandwich. Yep, actual quarter-sized pieces of plastic. They apologized and gave her a refund. But she couldn't get a new sandwich because we didn't have another hour to wait for it. 3) I asked for no onions on my roast beef sandwich. Of course, it came packed full of onions. Yes, it's easy enough to pick them off. But when you're literally trying to eat while you're walking back to the conference, it's quite a pain to do. I really don't like giving restaurants a one star review. But there really wasn't anything positive about eating here at all. There are plenty of other good places to eat in downtown Madison. I won't be back here. read more

Love this place! So happy I can get great Kosher food delivered, what a treat! Excellent challah and matzo ball soup. Brisket sandwiches, shakshuka, chicken schnitzel are all delicious as well. And I love their seasonal offerings like sufganiyot during Chanukah and hamentashen during Purim. Try this place!! You won't regret it :) read more

Who knew a fun little community cafe could have an eclectic menu with delicious food? If you are able to visit during one of their few open hours, I'd recommend it. It seems great for a lunch stop, but I will warn you that their portions are rather large. I stopped for lunch and ordered the sweet potato hash along with an "original" knish (just potato). The food took a very long time (about 30 minutes) to prepare, which was strange because the cafe was empty when I walked in and there were also no orders behind mine. When my order was ready, the knish wasn't in the order. I asked about it, and the man behind the counter apologized, started preparing it. The bumps in service were made up for in how excellent the food was. The knish was absolutely delicious! I can't believe I had never tried one before. After eating that, I only managed a few bites of the sweet potato hash, but that was also VERY tasty. The menu is very inclusive of vegan and gluten-free items, so everyone should be comfortable finding something on the menu. I can't wait to try one of their food specials and grab another knish. read more

We ordered through Door dash and had a mishap on the dasher's side. The owner contacted us and helped ensure we got our order. Food was delicious! We will continue to visit and recommend highly! read more

Just took my family to lunch here. It was a real treat -- especially on Passover. Everything was delicious. I had the brisket and it was amazing. The sweet potato hash and the harvest chicken salad was great. Using latkes instead of bread was genius! Would eat here all the time of we lived closer! read more

The smoothies were great! That falafel sandwich though...I'll stick to Banzo. It was beyond dry and took way too long to make since we were the only ones there. Will come back for a smoothie but that's probably it. read more

Food is very tasty and seems healthy. Had great Matzah ball soup and sweet potato hash. Casual setting. Order and pick up at counter but this is not fast food. Much better and wholesome but with a tinge of Israeli influence. read more

I hope this can be constructive. Since reopening for the season with new management some things have been weird. Everything seems messier and dirtier, and the food greasier and/or more sugary. I've had sandwich bread toasted to crouton level, extra unnecessary sugar sprinkled on stuff, french toast served with copious amounts of syrup already poured on it (usually the individual eating it gets to do this) some kind of non-dairy queso sauce added where there never was any before. Everything on the menu last year felt fresh and was delicious. I really can't say that is true anymore. I keep going back, wanting to like it, but I don't. It seems like there are some odd ideas taking over. The customer service seems a bit awkward and disingenuous, and the person or people working seem a bit high strung when it was really pretty chill last year. read more

Cute interior -- very clean, super friendly service, and one of the better club sandwiches I've had! I was in a rush and the food came out quickly without sacrificing flavor or presentation -- everything was made to order, even the sliced turkey on my club. The guy working couldn't have been nicer! Would definitely recommend as a lunch spot -- there are a good amount of vegetarian and vegan options as well which I always appreciate. read more

This place surely has its fans, and it would be a shame to lose, because it is a lovely space with nice comfort food options, including some healthful ones. The matzoh balls are authentic and huge. All the portions seem overly generous. The soup the dumpling was in was less flavorful than I would like, the pastrami cured lox was interesting but not tip top quality fish. The real complaint was the hot pastrami, which was the toughest I've experienced I my long deli-eating life. Actually inedible. Maybe it was old? Their Jewish BLT was hard to complain about, who can taste the meat (beef fry instead of bacon) amidst all the mayo, lettuce, and thick toasted bread? Their bread is great by the way, though the bagels are not real (they use the fake, bready ones that many people do prefer for sandwiches). I would go back without question, but may have to search for the right thing to order. read more

I stumbled upon this little gem as I was out exploring. I'm just visiting for a couple days and was desperate for a quick and healthy lunch with a comfortable environment. Wow, did this place hit the spot. I was welcomed enthusiatically and given an overview of the menu. I ordered the sweet potato hash with a side of fruit. It had the perfect level of seasoning and spice. And my egg on top was cooked exactly over medium like I asked. They also do a wonderful job reducing waste and have clearly marked signage as to which items go into which bin. Excellent service and delicious food. If I'm ever back in town I would definitely come back! read more

Ordered a smoothie from them during a non-busy time in the afternoon. It took them an extremely long amount of time to take my order and then make it. The smoothie was so gross and bland that I threw it out after a few sips. The employees were nice but service was extremely slow. read more
