The mushroom pierogi are so also good, but sadly only available for eat in. Otherwise, most of the menu is available for takeout.

There is a small parking lot on the side or you might find street parking nearby. Food priced very reasonably and served quickly hot and ready. A true Italian family run deli that I should have attended long ago, but will now to make up time. Dedicated to my Trentino relatives.

I moved into the area about a half year ago and have passed this spot more times than I can count…read more I finally stopped in and was curious about their ultimate cheesesteak. I love myself a cheesesteak and I wanted to see if this would be a new favorite I'd enjoy wearing out. They loaded this sandwich with onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. They added some of their pasta sauce on the bottom as well. The sandwich was good, but I thought it needed a bit more flavoring/spices. The bread was some of the softest I've experienced though and the cheese was a good amount. The combo was paired with a pickle spear and a bag of potato chips. This may sound strange, but can potato chips steal the show? Because they did. Super crunch and salty. Yum-O! I tried their coleslaw too and it seemed like to sat there awhile. It was tasteless and I ended up throwing the pint out. I will say the staff here are very friendly and helped me decide on some sandwiches and gave me an honest review of their favorites and least favorites. I appreciate that. I'm sure those chips will bring me back in the future and I'll be open to trying another sandwich.

Everything tasted fresh and made to order. Skip the weekend rush in my opinion and check them out on a weekday--it made it incredibly easy to find seating and enjoy our food and the ambiance. Service was professional, fast, and friendly! Can't wait to try their lunch menu!

Ordering was quick, the cashier was friendly, and the deli has a comfortable atmosphere. We waited about 5-10 minutes for our sandwiches. I ordered the egg and cheese with a hash brown, and I really enjoyed it. I'd definitely order it again. I also tried the dark chocolate sea salt cookie, which was delicious. The space had more seating than I expected, which was a nice surprise. However, it does get pretty cramped once it fills, which happens fast. If we visit again, we'd probably take our food to go. I also appreciated the free street parking on weekends. Overall, a great experience, and I can see why there's always a line!

Loved it! I wish I didn't wait a year since moving into the neighborhood. Pretty simple menu, but…read morethey do it well. The sandwiches come with a side of potato chips. They aren't over salted and they are super thin and crunchy. I tried the Philly style sandwich and my partner tried the hot Italian sandwich.

We had a grilled veggie sandwich and a build-your-own veggie, both on baguettes. In the world of veggie sandwiches, few managed to get a bullseye quite like this. Each bite was filled with freshly grilled vegetables, and the bread, a warm and soft vessel that accompanies the bright ingredients past the finish line. And the ingredients are top notch - from the broccolini to thick slices of onion. Even their potato chips were in-house. As vegans, food options are usually limited or not well thought out, so love finding a place where all components are top tier. Can't wait to bring others and get their thoughts on the non-veg options.

I pass this market at least three times a week on my way to the gym, and finally decided to stop by…read moreand try one of their sandwiches. I'm so glad I did! As soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by how much they have to offer. There's literally something for everyone--whether you're into incense, edibles, or just looking for a variety of food, you'll find it here. The grill area in particular stood out to me with its wide range of choices. It's not just sandwiches either; they've got a whole selection that would please pretty much any craving. One thing to note: you order your food, get a receipt, and then head to the front to pay. A little different from your typical setup, but it works. I went with the steak cheese steak, and it did not disappoint. It was hearty, flavorful, and just the right amount of food for one person. If you're planning to share, I'd suggest getting something else--this sandwich is big enough to satisfy just one. I also noticed they have another special cheese steak, so I'm already looking forward to trying that next time I stop by. The service was friendly, and it was easy to navigate the market and grab what I needed. Overall, it's a great spot with a lot to offer, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or browsing their other unique items.

You can really tell they care about quality. The fries that came with it were decent, but I think they could use a bit more seasoning to bring them up to the level of the shawarma.

When your wife and in-laws are Lebanese and make the best authentic versions of the food you've…read moreever had there's always the quest to find something close to that bar, and going to many different Lebanese restaurants around the world looking for that same quality never stops but is never met.... until that one night and one restaurant knocks you out of your chair and you can't stop thinking about the amazing cuisine right in your own backyard. This was that such night! The Awaijane family has brought their family tradition in great Lebanese cuisine since 1973 and maintained by their children generation after generation, and through their fresh grape leaves, perfectly pan baked Kibbeh (OMG and the raw!!!!), lemon kissed Tabbouleh, & authentically cured Labneh, we intended to take it to go but it was so irreisistable we sat down and ate half of it on site. Don't let the quaint store front on University pass you by, the the truly authentic food amaze you, and the family friendly service bring you back!

How is it that I have never reviewed Emily's before now? I have been a loyal customer for over 30…read moreyears and have always enjoyed this small, yet mighty restaurant. For ambiance, well, let's say it's authentic in types of a typical Middle Eastern Restaurant that is in the Middle East (not the US) meaning that it is sparse. Whatever, that's not why you come here. There used to be a woman who occupied one table peeling about 10,000 garlic cloves. Again, typical (sadly, I have not seen her lately). Service is good. There are not very many tables, so it's not much of a challenge to see the entire restaurant at one time. However, they are attentive and happy to answer all questions. Food: This is why you here. They literally (and I do mean literally) have the best Tabouli salad I have ever tasted anywhere in the world. The menu says it is made fresh every day and it is. Freshness is the absolute key to good tabouli and if it's not fresh, it's not worth eating. Let me say this again: This is the BEST tabouli you can find and if you think you don't like tabouli, at least give theirs a try. But Emily's has much more than tabouli. I love their lamb shish kabob. If you are not a fan of lamb, their chicken kabob is also excellent. Both of them come with an excellent rice pilaf. Pro Tip: You can get a full portion that comes with soup or salad, just a skewer, or half a skewer. Their humus is good, but perhaps not as favorable as other versions I've had. I can also vouch for their spinach pie, which is a great price too. And of course, you can't go wrong without a piece of baklava for dessert. They do have an upstairs eating area that is used for groups. I had not seen this until I went upstairs to use their restroom and saw it on the way. This is a neighborhood gem of a small, family owned quality restaurant. I hope they stay in business for another 50 plus years!

Over the last couple of years, I have visited Surdyk's less and less (but probably won't stop until…read morethey no longer carry the one wine only they seem to have). Compared with the other two wine stores I frequent (one big box and one independent, both in uptown), it's so much less friendly and the "consultants" seem less knowledgeable than me. The other day, I asked two ostensibly "wine consultants" about the difference between two producers of red Burgundy (at about the same price point), and neither knew. So I didn't buy either (but went uptown to another place where the consultant easily explained between two producers and then suggested an altogether different one, based on my preferences). Today, I did a pickup of my favorite plus some beer, went into the store, and the tall blonde woman was downright abrupt. Really, do better.

The service was normal and the restaurant itself was clean. There were a lot of people inside eating, which seemed like a good sign. I ended up ordering the classic chicken banh mi. Honestly, I was not that impressed. I have had a lot of banh mi sandwiches before, and this one tasted pretty average to me. The seasoning on the chicken was a bit overpowering after a while and did not feel very balanced. The pricing was also a little higher than I expected for what I got.

The restaurant has a small diner charm and the food is very good. I had chicken fried steak and my friends had pancakes, eggs, and sausage. The chicken fried steak had a nice crust like homestyle fried chicken and the sausage gravy was plentiful with plenty of sausage. Hash browns were dense with a nice crust and the eggs were cooked well. Everyone enjoyed their meals although the sausage is links instead of patties and my girlfriend prefers patties, as do I. Prices are really very fair for brunch, no doubt contributing to its popularity. And they have a bar as well although we didn't indulge in cocktails.
