First of all when we went to the counter to order the only person there was on a telephone call and it was a bit of an awkward wait, but we ordered. My guest wasn't impressed by the Rueben and I got the pastrami and it was ridiculously fatty...like big hunks of fat I pulled out. The experience of going to a temple to eat lunch is kinda fun and the children that were there (camp or school?) were adorable to listen to and watch.

Amazingly, this kind of place does exist on Newton Avenue in Worcester. So, let me welcome you to Chan's Kosher Deli. Enter through the back door of the synagogue and you'll be in the sanctuary, but one of the firs things you'll see is an ordering counter with prepared foods in the showcase. We were greeted by a bearded jolly Rabbi who reminded me of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof. He warmly welcomed us, went through the menu and took our order. And what a menu they have! Deli meat and salmon by the pound, your classic Kosher deli sandwiches, like pastrami, corned beef, salami, brisket, chopped liver, plus chicken, knishes, latkes, and of course matzah ball soup. We split a corned beef sandwich ($17.95), and I ordered a cup of the soup ($6). The sandwich was loaded with corned, piled high on fresh rye bread and served with a pickle, a side of cole slaw and little containers of mustard, Russian dressing, and garlic mayo. The sandwich was great, the meat was tender and juicy and full of flavor, the bread was very good, and the portion size justified the price. We split it between us, and it was plenty for a lunch. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the soup which I felt was bland, flavorless and very fatty. But the matzah ball itself was awesome! Big and delicious. Overall, we really loved our visit to this unique restaurant that uses their revenue to support their summer camp program for local children.

Positively nothing disappoints. Ever. I can make a dozen recommendations but truly no matter what you get it will not let you down or leave you hungry. Gets crazy for lunch and can be wild on the weekend for pizza but it's 10000000% worth the trouble to get here and the wait. Service is wonderful and if you have the time to sit in and have a meal, do try to. It's very small, very casual and feels like having the best lunch you ever had at your aunties house. As mentioned it's rarely quiet in there so take out is best overall. I recommend calling ahead for sliced deli meats or things like that as they really appreciate that. If you ever see the cherry cobbler in the fridge do not skip it - you'll regret that. Here's the inside tip - there is not a better Caesar salad with chicken this side of the Mississippi. Dead serious about that !!! They have my business for life and possibly beyond. I'll be haunting the place for arancini balls as a ghost.

A menu board is posted over the order counter and two soft drink coolers to choose a bottled beverage from are next to the cashier. The menu offers a variety of sandwiches, salads and soups. There are a lot of sauces you can add to your sandwich if the menu doesn't specify what condiments are included. You can also make your sandwich a 'platter' if you want to add fries, onion rings and coleslaw to your sandwich. I ordered the roast beef and asked for horse radish sauce. There was a *lot* of sauce on this sandwich. So much so, that was all I could really taste so I'm not sure if I actually like their roast beef or not. I should have asked if I could get it 'on the side' I suppose. Live and learn. From what I could see under the sauce, the roast beef is cooked very rare. It was difficult to chew through and with all that sauce it made for a very messy meal. We ate in their dining room which is a small, pleasant space with lots of old photos of Worcester. The napkins available at the table are kind of useless. They smear the mess, they don't mop it up. I used a LOT of napkins trying to keep tidy while eating my sandwich. The fries were very good when hot. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. The coleslaw was almost without flavor. Salt and pepper are on the table. You're going to want those. Just watch that salt shaker, it comes out FAST! There is one restroom for all guests at the back, past the kitchen. It's clean and in good working condition.

This time, I took advantage of their vegetarian signatures section which was very much appreciated for my dietary preferences. Ain't nobody got time to wade through an entire menu to find something they can eat. I ultimately settled on the grilled veggie pocket and requested, IN ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS, no onions and mushrooms PLEASE. We also ordered their mac and cheese to share. I'll start with the good. The mac and cheese was DELICIOUS. It's covered in breadcrumbs and croutons, which is an interesting addition. The sauce is creamy and the noodles were a touch al dente. It was just as good when we warmed up the leftovers the following day. Unfortunately they completely disregarded my request for no onions or mushrooms. If they were unable to do that because the mix is pre-made, which is actually kinda gross as I imagine refrigeration is required and this defeats the purpose of "grilled", they could have done what other places have done which is CALL ME. What if I had an anaphylactic allergy? Fortunately, I don't, but was faced with the decision point of either just not having anything to eat other than a shared portion of mac and cheese or ripping through the pita and sifting through each of the vegetables individually to remove the onions and mushrooms which was EXCRUCIATING to do because the onions were tiny strips. Sigh. There was also no other component besides grilled veggies in a sauce in a pita and the bottom of the pita was soggy. Fuck this place. I will never order from here again.
