St. Vincent Court has some good hidden gems, and Garo's deli is one of them! My boss orders from here a lot and finally made it down to try it myself. He prefers the sandwiches (and he's super finicky about his food), but the deli has a great selection of items to choose from well beyond sandwiches; although, I admit I'm a sandwich person who ordered the pastrami and it was very fresh and tasty. The service was friendly, professional and expeditious. read more

Nice little shop in St. Vincent Court. It's an international shop with little of everything from biscuits, to olives, to wines, to cold cuts, to sandwiches, to sweet treats, to coffee & drinks. Folks go there for the delis, especially sandwiches- and so am I today for the pastrami sandwich. The breads is a thin baguette or I call it pita like, a thin bread that toasted with the meats and then veggies then rolled it up. Perfectly great looking roll. The meats used to be more than now, then again so does the costs. The taste is great, tasty and perfectly balanced from meats to veggies to bread, yum! Service is great and friendly. There is a seating area in the back corner of the shop, unfortunately it looks abit sad and boring BUT they do have outside seating, either on the sidewalk or on under the tent on the street. Most preferred outside then inside. Overall another great snack at a great deli in a great relax, chill, and Europe likes in the busty DTLA in the jewelry district. read more

We were looking for a lunch spot and originally was going to try Salt N Pepper, but it didn't look that appealing so we came here. The place was cute and had the most patrons. They had a chicken special that day (Tuesday) and the guy convinced me to get it. I ordered a side of fries - total ended up being $20, which was okay. My coworker got the feta wrap. The fries came out first - they were crispy but didn't have a lot of salt. My wrap was flavorful - the chicken was delicious and all the fixings were great. They also had picked radishes and other picked stuff you could add. My coworker loved her feta wrap - said the lavash was excellent. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our meal. Will definitely come back! read more

Stop searching around for a decent, delicious and authentic sandwich!!! Garo's Deli is definitely the right place to go. Took me a while to find a parking spot in DTLA, not surprised, and finally find this Armenian deli shop located in a small alley in St. Vincent Court. I am super excited!! Walking in the shop, I am truly amazed by how clean and nicely organized of its set-up. There are different kinds of fresh bread, choices of cheese, deli meat and sides that you can build your own sandwiches OR you can go straight from the prepared sandwiches on the menu. All staffs are very friendly and helpful, I am given enough time to ask questions and explore all the goodies. I ordered two hot sandwiches: Chicken Club and Pastrami. Their sandwiches are made to order with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, provolone cheese and other sandwich dressings. Hot sandwiches are toasted in an oven for around 30-45 seconds with cheese. Before I took the first bite, the cross section view of these sandwiches have already won my heart and every bite is full of different textures and layers of flavors!! The only thing to mention will be the chicken, it's a little dry to my standard and I hope it could be more moist and tender next time. As mentioned earlier, the parking can be a challenge if you are not from local. You can also park in nearby lot with minimal fee and walk here for pick-up. There are about 5-6 indoor seating and 6-7 outdoor seating for small gatherings. Garo's Deli is not only a sandwich shop but also a small market where you can buy varieties of sauces and cheese which is very convenient. This amazing shop is firstly opened in late 2020 during the pandemic. Thank you Garo for serving great quality food and excellent customer service. read more

It is located at the Historic St. Vincente Court. What a surprise to see many shops in this alley. I love to support small business!! Entrance near the 7th and Hill Street. They have outdoor seating area. Perfect place for a quick bite. The Service: Laura was helping me at the counter. She is so lovely & efficient. Great customer service! I also met with the owner, DiKran, who is such a charming gentleman! His gorgeous smile definitely brightens my day~ If you see him at the store, don't forget to say hi! The Food: I love their sandwiches. They use fresh baguette. They are freshly prepared & made to order. I got them to-go. When I was driving home, the smell of the soujouk sandwich in my car.... OMG!! It made me so hungry~ Love it when they toast the baguette, the bread is a little bit crispy outside & soft inside. Fresh ingredient is the #1 key here! read more

Get the hot sandwiches!! They're packed with flavor and the crunch from the baguette is chef's kiss. The bread part of the baguette was carved out so the sandwich wasn't as heavy. I was really able to appreciate the flavors of the filling. I got the iconic pastrami sandwich which they generously filled with meat. If you want something refreshing, I would order this since this one had both lettuce and tomatoes. If you want something different, I'd highly recommend the soujouk sandwich. It has thin slices of spiced sausage that gives the sandwich so much flavor. If you're indecisive like me, I'm making the choice for you. This sandwich is a must-try because it's not something you can get at a typical deli. read more

This Armenian deli is a hidden gem located in St. Vincent Court, downtown LA. They offer pastries, soups, snacks, and sandwiches. If you're not from the local area, parking is a bit difficult, I paid $5 for 15 min parking at the lot close by for a quick dash n go. Otherwise, I would have someone drop you off for a pick up. The sandwiches at Garo's Deli are so delicious. They are nicely toasted and packed with a nice ratio of meat and veggies. The portions are great and the sandwiches are perfectly cut. This was my first time trying Soujouk (Armenian sausage), it was tasty and similar to salami! I recommend if you like to try something different from the usual. The Pastrami sandwich was also really good, I liked the additions of all the veggies and cheese. read more

You would never guess, that smack dab in the middle of downtown LA, you'd find a little area called St. Vincent Court. Though it's more like an alley, you'll feel yourself transported out of the hustle and bustle of the city, and in a quaint little area with fun architecture and little shops. Among these little shops you'll find Garo's Deli. A lovely sandwich shop that also sells some treats and snacks! They are most popular for the Chicken Garlic subway sandwiches and the Pastrami. When the sandwiches came out, the smell was very good and I was super excited to dig in. The bread was super crunchy! Love how crispy and perfectly toasted the sandwiches were. I shared a pastrami and a chicken sub just so I could try both. The chicken tasted really good, and by the time I got to my second half, I was already a bit full, but because the pastrami was so delicious, I kept eating. Great spot for some delicious sandwiches and some cool views! read more

[Review #653] 2021 Yelp 100 Challenge (75/100) It's my husband's birthday today & we headed to hidden gem Garo's Deli to celebrate! I mean this figuratively & literally... I had trouble finding the deli shop that's located in the center of DTLA's jewelry district; they're located between main streets: Hill St. & Broadway in the alley on St. Vincent Ct., which houses numerous delis. The security guard by the parking garage nicknamed this "deli alley." With our sitter out of commission, we had the LOs with us on our lunch date. It was best to locate parking closest to the deli & found a garage around the corner off Broadway & 7th St., & it exits right into the alley... yay! On weekends, there's a flat rate ($10 on Saturdays & $8 on Sundays). Yikes! I did notice you could park in the alleyway (if you're lucky) for free, but there's limited spots; I'm going to try my luck next time. We ordered 3 sandwiches: GARLIC MORTADELLA (provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, mayo) for me, TUNA (lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mustard) for the birthday man, & TURKEY (provolone, lettuce) for the kiddos to share. Service is fast & friendly, & we got served quick! Mortadella is one of my fav Italian deli meats but I never tried a garlic version. I can taste the garlic without it being overwhelming, & I love their pickles! They're not like the typical dill flavored sandwich pickle, still acidic but on the sweeter side, & complements the saltiness of the mortadella. I noticed their shelves were holding these yummy pickles; I planned to buy a jar or two before leaving, but a quick distraction by my kids & forgot due to momesia. :-| I've had toasted sandwiches before, but their's had an extra crunch factor that I really enjoyed. This is one of the best deli sandwiches I ever had, & I've had plenty! =D My husband really liked his tuna sandwich, & his was also toasted with a crunchy texture. I took a bite (actually I took a few) & we ended switching halves so we can have the best of both! ;-) I kept the kiddos' sandwich on the plainer side, just turkey, cheese, & lettuce since they're not a fan of pickles (what I should have done was added their pickles to my sandwich) & condiments (they can be fickled with mayo but definitely no mustard). My daughter & son loved the crunch French baguette though he couldn't really bite it; I forgot about his loose tooth so I separated the filling to cut the baguette into bite-size pieces (like a crouton) so he could enjoy his deconstructed sandwich. Ahhh... the things I do for these kids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ After they were done, I went back in to pick-up a couple mini containers of Mediterranean ice cream (chocolate & blackberry) to cool off on this warm day. H & M got inventive after a couple of bites & split-shared so they both enjoyed a chocolate-blackberry ice cream cup. It was pretty good! =D We dined outside & people-watched while we ate. We even enjoyed a rap by the guy who was cruising the streets, stating this is his 'hood. If anyone bothers us, he will take care of them. :-O Not sure exactly what he meant by "take care of" but he was a character. His rap was pretty dope about how kids should be taken care of by their 'rents & they're our future... really positive lyrics. :-) Garo's Deli seems to be a regular hangout for some, & we're down with the family-friendly chill vibes. Prices are moderate, & portions are proportionate, though we may be a bit hungrier than norm (we went on a morning hike) & needed a bit more to be filled, though my kids were technically stuffed on 1/2 a sandwich but made room for ice cream. O_o If we weren't making additional stops, I wanted to get a couple to-go for dinner. I wanted to try Jack's Spicy Soujouk & Basturma Sandwiches, & that Foul by Bowl sounds interesting too but it's only available weekdays. And I have no idea how I missed the Cheese Flat Bread! Next time, definitely next time... because I need to come back for them pickles! Recommended: Garlic Mortadella Sandwich (a must!), Tuna Sandwich, Turkey Sandwich, & if you still have room, try the Sweet Dreams (aka Ashta) Ice Cream. read more

Garo's Deli is located in the St. Vincent Court alley way within the jewelry district of Downtown LA. Garo's is not only a deli shop but a little market as well. I arrived at 2pm and was surprised to see the shop still in "lunch mode" with walk in customers and phone orders. I ordered the Cold Garlic Mortadella ($11.50) & Hot Pastrami ($12) which were provided within reasonable time considering the business. Both sandwiches were made similarly with mayo, mustard, shredded lettuce, tomato, and the same bread; only difference was the meats inside. The garlic mortadella is sliced fresh and I was shocked to see how much they put in the sandwich! You definitely get a fair amount of meat to fill you up. I'm huge on carbs and I loved the bread here which is made fresh every morning. It looks like they carve out some of the inners of the bread to make as much room to stuff their sandwiches! Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Garo's Deli is a long standing amazing Deli/Grocery/Cafe off beaten path down the famous St. Vincent Court Alley among several shops and eateries, but none quite like Garo's. This DTLA favorite has a lot of authentic international influences and cuisine mixed with modern flare. An Armenian owned business with lots of history and charm. Garo's has a pretty solid falafel plate I'm a fan of as well as new menu item Foul by Bowl that sells out daily. The falafel is light, crisp and flavorful though the pita is very distinct, thin and well made and the sauces to accompany it. The description for the falafel on their sight is mixed up with the ingredients for the red lentil soup, but Garo's has tons of options including vegetarian and a growing vegan menu, I'm a fan of. Maybe they'll add an non-dairy cheese sandwich to the mix one day though an avocado w/o is doable as they aim to please your feasting needs. Garo's also has loads of delicious prepackaged eats and sips for purchase such as nuts, pickled veggies, canned goods, savory snacks, desserts and bottle beverages of all types. This cafe deli does a little of it all including a variety of soups, salads, special's and sides. Definitely known for their unique combinations of bread filled or topped wonders (yes they do flat bread) and willingness to accommodate their customers however they can. G.D's has a very fair amount of outdoor and indoor seating overlooking Downtown's St Vincent's international assortments of shops and restaurants. There is an inexpensive parking area close by or two, but also reasonably close to Pershing Square Station and several modes of transit. Taking a turn down this slice of life is a must! Amazing service from start to finish. The staff here is very kind and personable and provide counter as well as table service. They do have rushes of customers, but provide you with quality and quality that will keep you coming back for more! read more

This place is a hidden GEM! Located in the heart of the Jewlery district. It's located in a really cute between buildings area and they have outdoor seating and relaxing music that really sets a vibe for a deli. There is an $8 parking lot on Olive and 6th street which is a pretty good deal. I tried 2 of their cold sandwiches: Ham and Garlic Mortadella. I'm usually not a big fan of cold sandwhiches but wow these were really tasty! There is a lot of flavor in these and the pickes are really unique. I've never had a pickle like theirs before. I also tried their cheese flatbread and it's a lot fancier than it sounds. There is SO much flavor in the cheese flatbread AND the cheese they use is super unique and not regular cheese. Super happy I got to try this place out. I had a very good time. Eating here made me feel like I was a tourist in DTLA trying something new. The staff here is also super friendly and they care about the food they make. So much flavor in everything they make here with super unique and fresh deli ingredients! read more

Literally a hidden gem located in the Jewelry district of LA! This shop is both a deli and a market. They sell cheeses, meats and other food items. I tried the Ham & Cheese and the Pastrami sandwich! Both were incredibly delicious. The bread is baked fresh every morning, which is why the bread is so soft and fluffy on the interior and crispy on the exterior. They also sell ice cream that is exclusively sold at their store. I tried the pistachio flavor and it is extremely light and airy. It has a subtle sweet taste pistachio! Its not your typical ice cream! If I lived closer, i'd be coming here more often! Looking forward to trying their other items and exploring Armenian flavors! Highly recommend trying this deli if you're in the neighborhood Parking might be hard to find so i highly recommend coming with someone who can drop you off to pick up the food! read more

Garo's Deli - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Garo's Deli is truly a hidden gem, tucked away in an alley on the streets of Broadway. They specialize in Armenian style sandwiches and also have other food options such as baklava. We got the roast beef and soujouk sandwich. Every sandwich is made fresh! The bread is flattened and the stuffing is taken out to make more room for the filling. Each sandwich is priced at about $12 and considerably big. Roast beef sandwich - comes with mustard, Mayo, cheese, roast beef, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. Their pickles are really tasty and different from typical pickles. I'm normally not a fan of pickles because of the fermented tasted, but these pickles didn't have the usual pickled taste, but more of a sweeter flavor. It was delicious! The roast beef was very flavorful and delicious but there was a lot of mayo which I would've preferred a little less of. Soujouk Sandwich - soujouk is an Armenian sausage that tastes similar to salami. It is a dry, spicy, and salty meat that was really tasty. The sandwich was packed with slices of soujouk, cheese, tomatoes, and their delicious pickles. I liked this sandwich the most because it was simple yet packed with so much flavor. Parking is definitely tough and gets pricey, especially in the parking structure right next to the alleyway which can be up to $20. I'd recommend getting dropped off rather than finding parking. Overall, this deli shop deserves high praises! It is tucked away from plain sight but once you find it, you'll want to keep coming back for their delicious sandwiches! read more

This is a real hidden gem located in DTLA! While the private alley way allows you to escape the traffic and busy streets of DTLA, it's too bad they're not getting the attention they should be! It's hard to really stumble across this place unless you're actually deliberately trying to go here. Their bread is made in house and has a really nice crunchy flakey softness to it! With it being lightly toasted it was soo good! I honestly could've eaten the bread on its own and would've been happy too! I was able to try the roast beef, soujook and hot dog with fries. All were amazing! I had to keep switching between the sandwiches to taste test which one I really like the best. In the end the soujook was the winner and the hot dog with fries cane in second. The soujook had a nice kick to it that but so did the hot dog! All their meats were loaded with flavors. The peppers that come with the sandwiches too complemented the sandwiches so well. It was slightly pickled, had a little sweetness to it and not spicy at all. But as a person who eats spicy, maybe it might be for someone who can't handle spice? I wished this was closer to me, I would be a weekly customer!! Due to the location and parking of DTLA, it's a bit hard to go BUT if you have someone willing to drive who can drop you off and wait for you, i HIGHLYYY recommend! This might be what I'll probably do. It takes the same time looking for parking as it does for someone to circle around haha. They seem to have weekly/daily specials? While I was waiting for my sandwiches, the owner was making a plate of their oven roasted chicken for another customer and it smelled AMAZINGG. That's me just standing there when he took the lid off. I can't imagine how great it tasted!! Definitely will be back to try some of the other items on the menu. So if you're in the area or close enough to come by on foot, you need to visit this hidden gem! read more

Loved this hidden DTLA sandwich shop with an Armenian flair. Tucked in a little alley (Saint Vincent Ct) that connects 7th Street and Hill. There's a good variety of sandwiches in their menu and daily specials. I had the falafel sandwich which I could get addicted too but would love to try other things next time as well. The store is impeccably clean - there are a few tables inside and outside. There are also a selection of Armenian delicacies and grocery. There is a case of pastries and other special Armenian breads which I just had to grab a bunch to try at home and I loved it. Like everywhere downtown, street parking can be a challenge but there are several paid lots on Hill that are convenient and a short walk away... for me the walk is always interesting because you're in the heart of the jewelry district, so there's always lots to look at. DTLA has definitely gentrified and it's such a treat to find hidden gems like Garo. read more

Hidden gem in LA's jewelry district! Visiting Garo's Deli was such a pleasant experience and I'm looking forward to exploring Armenian flavors more! In addition to cultural specialities, they also serve your deli classics and breakfast. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in downtown, and pick up a strong Armenian coffee while you're at it. * Manaish wrap: Armenian breakfast flatbread. Loved the warm herby flavors here complemented by fresh veggies * Soujouk sandwich: Armenian beef sausage = flavor bomb! * Ham & cheese: classic, great portion of meat, would recommend easy mayo Fun fact: they bake their french baguettes fresh each day and it's sooo soft and fluffy with a crisp exterior Parking is a bit tough as they are smack in the middle of the jewelry district. If you can get lucky with street parking, great, otherwise there's a paid lot around the corner. Unless you're picking up, you're likely to spend $20 on parking for a full hour at the lot. Price wise it runs over $10 per sandwich but it will fill you up and the flavors are great! read more

Garo's deli was such a delightful find in DTLA. My husband and I were wanting a sandwich while on our adventure in the city. This was in an area that we had not explored yet so we were excited to see what they had to offer. The location is really perfect for those who want to have a quality meal in a historic spot. The sandwiches are fresh and made to order. I got mine with all the toppings, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo & mustard. The warm mustard really elevated the pastrami sandwich. The quality is top notch. I highly recommend this spot. read more

These added spice ans acidity. The sandwich itself has plenty of meat and plenty of flavor wrapped in a fluffy loaf. They plenty of offerings if you look at the menu.

Located in DTLA, Garo's Deli has been around for awhile offering healthy and authentic Armenia food. Both a cafe and market, they sell fresh cut deli, baked bread, and food products. We got the Turkey Sandwich and Roast Beef Sandwich. They were made on a hot baguette with fresh ingredients. I enjoyed the crunchiness of the french baguette and inside was stuffed with shredded meat and melted provolone cheese. It was so yummy and filling for our lunch to-go. Parking may be hard to find, but there are parking structures that are within walking distance. The customer service was great! We were welcomed with a smile and the staff had tons of recommendations as it was our first time. We also got the chance to meet and chat with the owner, DK! He was so friendly and kind.

The Mortadella Sandwich is a must try! It is packed with meats and cheese! The bread is made fresh every single morning and they close up whenever they sell out. Closing time is 5PM but by 4PM today they were sold out! I also tried the Soujouk Sandwich which was delicious! My bf loved it and could not stop talking about it. Parking is a little tough but I'm telling you it is WORTH it! They are also a small grocery store that sell snacks, coffee, tea, etc. A TV is also available in the back for soccer game viewings!

This second-generation Armenian deli makes delicious, high-quality sandwiches using only premium Boar's Head meats and fresh ingredients. The French rolls here are baked in-house daily from scratch. If you're not in the mood for a sandwich, Garo's Deli also offers authentic Armenian dishes on its menu. I tried the soujouk (spiced sausage) sandwich, and I was blown away! It comes with soujouk, provolone cheese, tomatoes, and pickles sandwiched between hot, toasty bread. I loved that I could taste the spices that flavored the soujouk, and I also liked that it wasn't overly salty. The bread was light, airy, crispy, and so fresh. I also tried the roast beef sandwich. It comes with roast beef, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and mustard. I was also very impressed by this sandwich, but between the two, the soujouk reigned supreme, and I can't wait to go back for more! I highly recommend checking out Garo's Deli, especially if you're in the DTLA area! Their slogan is "come hungry, leave happy", and I definitely left happy with a full belly. read more

The food at Garo's deli is delicious! The ingredients are fresh, and the sandwiches were nicely toasted and flavorful. The Soujouk Sandwich that we ordered was aromatic from all the spices it contained. On the other hand, the Pastrami Sandwich was juicy, savory, and had a nice layer of mustard and mayo (probably the best Pastrami Sandwich we have eaten so far). The Foul Plate (Egyptian Fava Beans) was creamy and nutty; we also had the option of adding some pepper paste into it for a nice flavorful kick as well. To top it off, the customer service was amazing. The owner Dikran is well-liked by all the locals and is incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. We will be coming by again next time we are in the area! read more

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about Garos Deli. It's nestled down the historic St Vincent Ct.... It's the most welcoming deli filled with deliccious Armenia snacks, foods and drinks. I tried alot as you can see, the BAKLAVA WAS THE BEST BAKLAVA IVE EVER HAD !!!!! Seriously that's no exaggeration. It was unlike any other, it tasted fresh and made with love, on top of love on top of love! I also tried cookies, not sure the name but they are at the cash wrap and shared these with my boss, her mother is now obsessed and kindly asked for more, so I'll be back soon. I didn't eat the sandwiches right away, and there was ZERO sogginess, I think that itself speaks volumes, both sandwiches were delicious! They each had small details that truly made the sand which a phenomenal experience down to the last bite. The chicken sandwhich had strategically placed fried it was juicy tasty and every bite had a fry to eat. This was my first time trying a pastrami and although I don't have much to compare it to, the thinly sliced picked and evenly dispersed condiments were a MAJOR HIT for me! Not the spicy cheese pocket of heaven was so SOOOOO good, I warmed it up later that night and...... I ate it so fast it burned my tongue lol. But that didn't stop me! The pastry with armenian sausage I believe was really good I shared that, because a girl can only eat so much, and my dad was in LOVE. He asked for the other half Overall, everything was delicious, I plan to eat my way through the menu, and not regret one thing! Thanks Garo ! read more
