    vada pav, indian omelet, Masala Chai
    Katherine C.

    deli deluxe is located in the downstairs food court of a business building. it's really casual, usually other people working are there to grab food (next to a shipley's too!). food came out super quick. i had vada pav and chai and wowwww my mind exploded! it was so good, hot potatoes spiced incredibly well and wrapped together in a soft bun. i got to try some of my friend's indian omelet and i think getting both the vada pav with the omelet is absolutely the move!! i got to try the samosa too, also so good with the green chutney that i could drink it (in theory i could, but reality is different).

    Mmmm...tasty goodness NOT greasy at all!

    Clean, professional, friendly! They offer delicious, food with healthy portions for a very reasonable price. I'm terribly happy to have discovered this treasure! The locals love this place! As my first experience I mentioned It was my first time & asked 2 customers ahead of me what they recommended. They were taken aback that I e never eaten there before. "Everything is great!" "You like spicy? 9 out a 10 times I get the spicy catfish!" Needless to say I got the catfish. BUT at he owner heard it was my first time and offered me a sample of his chicken. I originally came for Indian food, hence I got BOTH. In fact, since they're closed on the weekends, I ended up getting another order of his chicken to go! My only gripe is that the Tunnel is closed on the weekends.

    Upma!

    Indian breakfast! *Being able to procure upma and idli for breakfast during my work week is such a treat. I could eat it every day, though I restrain myself. The Indian omelette "po boy" is tasty as well. Chai or a mango lassi rounds it out. The lunch options here are also top notch. *The above review still stands, but now we're in the middle of a pandemic. Most of downtown has shut down and people are working from home, if they're still fortunate enough to have a job. This Deli Deluxe location, in the McKinney Tunnels, is still pushing, along with the Shipley's next door. I decided this morning to call in an order of upma and an Indian omelette. Unfortunately, no masala idli today. It's been four months too long. I was overjoyed to see Manish and Gaby today. They are masked and gloved and the shields are up. They are ready to feed you from early morning until 3P, Monday-Friday. Calling it in and picking it up is ideal. Please support your local businesses. They need you now more than ever.

    Chicken Tikka Wrap
    Kerry O.

    Came here to pick up lunch before heading to the pool. It is actually located in the bottom floor of a corporate building which we had not realized. We decided to go ahead and order anyways because everything looked so good. They have a wide selection of food including seafood, Indian food, and deli food. The prices were good and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Wrap, so kind of a mix of the deli and Indian foods. The wrap was amazing! I have never had Indian food in a wrap like this, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was extremely flavorful and the sauce was delicious. The wrap came with rice, spinach, grilled veggies, and tomatoes. I also got cilantro sauce and sour cream to top it off, and it was magical. I asked for the wrap medium spicy, and it definitely had a pretty heavy kick. I would go with mild next time I had the choice. Great spot for takeout whether you work in the building or not!

    Wow, such a great spot in Houston tunnels. Went at about 9:30am. The owner was extremely friendly and customer centric. Based on his suggestion, I ordered poha and vada pav. Both of them were extremely delicious and brought back memories of Mumbai. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to grab a quick Indian or American breakfast or lunch.

    The food is fresh and hot. Very good value. They also have non-Indian dishes to choose from.

The parking was a bit of a challenge, but it was easy enough because it was a calm Tuesday morning. To get from the parking area to the store, you just take the elevator one level down, and then you're right inside. This place is surprisingly big, filled with all kinds of snacks, cookies, and coffee. The highlight for me was their shawarma breakfast wrap. It was top-notch and exactly what I needed. You choose between whole wheat or white pita, and it's filled with scrambled eggs, your choice of fresh or sautéed spinach, and they add potatoes as well. Then they top it with shawarma chicken, tomato, and a delicious sauce. For $8.5 it was worth every bite. Hands down, a five out of five. I also tried their coffee, which was just a standard brew sitting in ice for hours and nothing special. At $2.50, it was fine, but nothing to write home about. The real stars were the cookies. I got a coconut pecan cookie and an almond crunch cookie, and both were absolutely delicious. I didn't have time to explore the whole store, but there was a great selection of fresh produce, chocolates, and all sorts of small treats. Overall, the staff were really friendly, and the entire visit was smooth. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Five out of five stars!

A great one stop shop with groceries as well!

I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.

So it may be Google their family and all the different restaurants. I've been to Tony Mandola's before they closed plenty of times . However, I never heard of Mandola's deli, which is the cousins of that family. So I decided to give them a try today. I'm glad I did! I called about 10 minutes before closing today and I had the pleasure of talking with Joseph the owner. I had no idea he was the owner, but he was so nice over the phone. I asked if it was OK if I was ordering right before they close and he was like no problem at all. Just a great nice person answering the phone. It was such a pleasure to talk with him because that type of service these days is kind of a lost Art. So when I get there, we start to talk he shook my hand, asked my name treated me like family. Very personable nice guy running this establishment. Their entire family are just top-notch professionals and they understand how to treat people the right way. This is a lost Art. Food: I went with the deluxe, which is with their special. Absolutely amazing. Fresh bread, all the flavor with their homemade aïoli sauce. The meats were real good as well. I elected for the olives, which were great. Great food I will definitely come back here and try several things off their menu. Being that I live in downtown, this is gonna be one of my go to Spots. I've lived in Houston my entire life for 43 years. I'm not sure how I've never stumbled upon this place. I talked to Joseph and he said he's been eating here for 43 years as he's 43 years of age as well. What a nice guy and a great family. They're doing an awesome job here. I can't wait to keep coming back and try more things off the menu, bringing clients there and becoming a regular. This is my first time ever eating at this establishment and Joseph made me feel like I've been going there for 20 years. Thank you, sir!

Showed up on a Wednesday around 11:45 to a mostly empty restaurant. Its counter service ordering, but very friendly and efficient. My selection was a 5" Deluxe Po Boy which has Ham, Salami, Mozzarella lettuce tomatoes and Mandola's Italian spread. Simple sandwich, but oh so perfect. The bread was perfectly toasted, the cold cuts sliced just right and tasty and the italian spread was the perfect condiment. I'm not normally a cold deli sandwich person, but would order this sandwich over and over again. Since I was solo dining, but wanted to try more than just the sandwich on my first visit I opted for a side of spaghetti and the italian sausage. Dumped the italian sausage on my spaghetti and it was like a small side entree. The sausage was the highlight, but the spaghetti was well cooked and the traditional marinara was flavorful. While I expected the restaurant to be a little more bustling at lunch time, it was a very comfortable experience in the bright open dining area with a great deal of Houston Sports Memorabilia on the walls. I'm very glad to have visited this Houston Restaurant Icon.

I had originally wanted to come because I saw that they sold steaks for purchase you can bring home to cook. However, since it was lunchtime and we were already hungry, we decided to grab some lunch as well. We got the 3 meat combo with chicken, brisket, and ribs. It came with two sides and we chose coleslaw and chicken salad. I thought it was nice they had extra protein choices as sides. They also had a tuna salad and egg salad in addition to pasta salad, beans, potato salad and other options. The food came out quickly and the meats were all very tender. However, they just tasted salty. I had a hard time tasting any other spices/flavors which is what I'm accustomed to at other bbq places. The chicken salad was salty as well. It would've been tastier in a sandwich with some crisp greens versus just by itself. Coleslaw was average. Edible but nothing special. Husband thought it was too sweet. I do have to say the service was very friendly. The worker behind the counter gave us the impression that he really wanted to help and make us comfortable. When I found out they only sold bottled water, he offered to go to the back and grabbed us two cups of tap water, which was a nice gesture because he didn't have to. We ended up not getting any other meats because the unpackaged steaks looked dried out and sad in fridge. I wasn't sure if those were the pieces they would sell you or if they were just for display. But for $34.99/lb, I didn't want to risk them giving me the dried out looking steak. Overall, it seemed like people really like this place . The person in front of my husband said this place has the best burgers! And lots of people kept coming in and out. However, for us, this isn't our favorite.
