    After: Chicken Shawarma Wrap filled w/ joy (mine has no tomatoes)
    Torien N.

    Can't pass Fairfield without getting lunch at the Big H Deli!!! Chicken Shawarma plate with corn salad and rice and of course, the in-house, fresh Roast Beef Dip with au jus!

    I've been here two times, each time was delicious! The first I got falafel and salad, it was really good and light. Tons of flavor. Today I got the pastrami sandwich combo. The sandwich was one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had. The bread was moist, meat was hot and tender, veggies were the right proportions. The service was killer, greeted me as I walked in and got me going quickly. They have iced tea but I wanted a lemon, so they cut some up fresh for me! That's the type of thing that will get me coming back over and over. The ambiance is a deli, nothing too flashy, but they've got plenty of seats inside and out. If you're looking for a great deli, nice staff and somewhere to take a load off for lunch or earlier dinner in Fairfield / Cordelia this is it.

    Big H Deli is a hidden gem in Fairfield California. The owners Zed and Louie put love into every sandwich and made-from-scratch item that comes out of eatery. I've tried quite a few items like the pasta salad, potato salad, dolma, pastrami sandwich, gyro, and the spicy chicken shawarma. Everything coming out of here is amazing and large portions to boot! Whenever I'm near Fairfield, or in Solano County, Big H is a must-visit!!

    One of the few places I'll say is worth your money and the trip! It wasn't super busy when we walked in and the portion sizes are very generous! We order the French dip sandwich and the flavor was great, meat was cooked just right and the sauce complimented the sandwich well, though it was a bit thicker than I thought it'd be for an Au Jus, but hey to each their own for sauces. 4/5* Their shawarma wrap was probably the most worth getting on their menu; the size of it is very generous and flavorful. Out of the 2 things we got this was definitely the winner for $12. 5/5* Both of the gentlemen were very nice behind the counter and when we're back in the area we will be back again!

    Falafel pita spicy

    Stayed in Fairfield a few times, and each time I conveniently walked over to Big H Deli to grab lunch. Each time I tried something different: chicken shawarma plate with humus and cucumber salad, pastrami on sweet roll with chips and soda combo, and falafel spicy pita. Enormous servings, fresh ingredients, and a meal under $15 for most items! Friendly service. Lots of indoor dining space. I highly recommend this locally owned shop.

    Loaded with meat pastrami sandwich
    Mark L.

    Stopped in here for lunch. I ordered a hot pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese on a sourdough roll and half extra meat. It was absolutely delicious and huge! They sliced the meat to order. The pastrami was well seasoned without being overly salty. It also had a nice blackened crust. Very moist and tender. The bread was soft but, held up well to the monster amount of meat. Service was fast, about 5 minutes. They have a nice, private outdoor patio where you can enjoy your meal. Overall, exceptional food. I highly recommend!

    Thick and moist pastrami sandwich.
    John R.

    I've looked at the deli for a long time. Was in Cordelia today and decided to have a late lunch. Place was clean and open. Since I was the only one in deli at the time, service was great. Ordered a pastrami on marbled rye with yellow mustard and pickles. Sandwich was huge, just like the pictures. Pastrami was sliced thick. It was plentiful and good. Not the best pastrami but it was good. When in the area again, i will try another sandwich that has a stronger backbone for the sandwich.

    Roast beef plate
    Charlene B.

    Everything was cooked perfectly We got the roast beef plate, chicken, and gyros. Serving is pretty big too!

    Erick L.

    Usually don't have any complaints about Big H but the last Pastrami Sandwich had some dry, overcooked, crisp pieces that weren't pleasant to chew on. Maybe they were thrown on the flattop too long. Sandwich overall was still pretty good. My son had a French Dip and he thought the roast beef was too dry as well. Could have been an off day. We'll still be back.

    Spicy chicken shawarma wrap
    Sandra P.

    Spicy chicken shawarma was very good. The cucumber salad and rice tasted great and felt homemade. The pita was amazing. Friendly service and a quiet ambiance since it's mostly pickup orders. Only downside was grabbing a drink and noticing too late that it was expired. Overall, I'd still come back.

    French dip was outstanding

    The Napa Deli and I go way back. Years ago, I worked in the business center nearby, and my…read morecoworkers and I would walk over here for breakfast or lunch two or three times a week. Ever since my company transitioned to working from home, I don't get to visit nearly as often. Now it's more like once every year or two, so I decided it was time to come back and see if my old favorites were still as good as I remembered. I ordered two items that I used to get all the time: the tri-tip breakfast burrito and the Southwest tri-tip wrap. The restaurant is still a great place to grab breakfast or lunch. They have comfortable booths, a few tables, bar seating, and music playing in the background that gives the place a nice vibe. The menu is displayed on the wall along with their daily specials. One thing I noticed is that my old favorites weren't listed anymore, so I had to ask for them specifically. They also sell some of their food cold so you can take it home and heat it up later, which is a nice option if you're craving their food. The cashier was friendly, but I think she was new because she wasn't familiar with the tri-tip breakfast burrito or the Southwest tri-tip wrap. Another employee stepped in to help, and everything was taken care of without any issues. The two meals came to around $37-$39, with each item costing roughly $17-$19. It's definitely on the expensive side, so I was hoping everything would be just as amazing as I remembered. The tri-tip breakfast burrito absolutely delivered. It was a generous size, wrapped in a nicely grilled tortilla, and packed with plenty of eggs, cheese, and flavorful tri-tip. As I was eating it, I realized I forgot to ask them to add peppers like I used to, and I also wish I had ordered salsa on the side. Even without those additions, it was still every bit as good as I remembered. I would absolutely order the tri-tip breakfast burrito again. Unfortunately, the Southwest tri-tip wrap didn't have the same magic. The Southwest sauce looked a little discolored, the meat didn't really look like tri-tip, and the overall flavor just wasn't what I remembered from years ago. For the price, I expected a much better sandwich. Since I've had so many great experiences here over the years, I'm willing to give the wrap another chance because it's possible I just caught them on an off day. Overall, it was great coming back to a place that holds so many memories. The tri-tip breakfast burrito reminded me exactly why I used to come here several times a week, while the Southwest tri-tip wrap left me a little disappointed. Even so, I'll definitely be back for another breakfast burrito, and I'll give the wrap one more try before making up my mind.

With a baby and a dog , I was hoping we can just enjoy that outdoors but they weren't able to accommodate. I hope sometime in the future they can change that . Instead of the olive oil tasting , I decided to have lunch outdoors. It was such a beautiful day and a tad windy . We started with some cocktails. Pomegranate Margarita : 5/5 it was the perfect blend of tangy , slightly sweet and the salt rim balanced all the flavors nicely. Also , it was pretty strong . Charcuterie $45 : Wow the presentation for this charcuterie was beautiful . Everything on the board was yummy and was a nice snack for grazing and enjoying it with the cocktail . I really liked the sweet walnuts , olives , wagyu sausage , pickled carrots , cauliflower , & the fig jam . 5/5 French onion soup $20 : I never really think to get a french onion soup but I was convinced that this was the best thing ever .. and guess what ?! It was !! This was probably the best french onion soup i've ever had . It was super rich , savory , and slightly sweet from the carmelized onions . It also had some delicious melted gruyère cheese that was oozing with the soup . The puff pastry on top was soo good . It was nice and comforting . 5/5 Prosciutto and Brie $30 : Dare I say this was probably one of the tastiest sandwiches ever ?! I can't believe prosciutto and brie can taste this good . The combination of garlic aioli , pickled shallots , red onions with farm greens mixed in the sandwich really brought out all the flavors. The only downside is for the portion idk if it justifies the price 4.5 /5 Ordered a special Pre fixe menu that came with farm salad with Quinoa + Olive oil icecream puff pastry dessert $30 + 10 salmon add on to salad . Salmon quinoa salad : This dish was super simple but the fish was cooked to perfection . It was super moist and the quinoa was fluffy and the salad was nicely dressed . 5/5 We had a great time and the food was fantastic. I'm really happy this place was dog friendly and family friendly. It's so hard finding places that accommodate both . Service was great . Luis did a good job on making sure we were taken care of . He was always checking in on us during our meal and was even whispering when the baby was napping . A+ service . Overall this place is a hidden gem . It's a tad pricey for lunch but the quality and service makes it worth it . We will definitely be back again to try the other delicious foods !
