Much better than the one we had earlier the same week at Katz's Deli in NYC.

It took a me a while to make this review. And I almost forgot to take a photo because this soup is…read moreso good I was already halfway through my bowl. I went to Broadway Martket place with one of my friends a few months ago just checking out what shops/restaurants they had in there and we happened to come across Sofia's place. The new owner was so nice and informative about their menu and offerings. Had we not just had lunch at Ekiben I would've tried a full menu item but I was curious about the Red Borscht. I'd never had it but I've heard good things about it so I tried a cup. I really enjoyed the flavor so I purchased a quart to take home and freeze. Fast forward to today, I finally defrosted it and warmed myself up a bowl. I added a little salt & pepper and a healthy dollop of sour cream. It was perfection. I look forward to returning to Sofia's explore more of their menu and purchase more goods to take home. I highly recommend.

Finding the restaurant itself was easy, but parking was another story -- the one‑way street and…read moresmall lot made it a challenge. When we walked in, the cashier immediately asked whether we were dining in or taking out. We chose to dine in. We ordered the roast beef sandwich and the pastrami sandwich, along with potato pancakes. They brought out a full assortment of pickles and pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, they only offer one diet option: Dr Pepper Zero, no other diet sodas from the fountain or in bottles. The potato pancakes were a disappointment -- mostly batter with very little shredded potato. The pickled vegetables also lacked flavor and didn't really taste pickled. Our table wasn't cleared at any point during the meal, and the waiter stood nearby waiting for us to finish, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The desserts looked amazing, but we were too full to try them. We also couldn't take anything to go since we had plans for the rest of the day and didn't want it sitting in the car. Next time, we'll come back specifically to try the desserts.

I am from Philadelphia and grew up on AUTHENTIC NYC style Jewish Delis. I moved to B'more in 2015…read moreand was shocked how lacking the Deli scene was; especially considering it's Jewish population. When Essen FIRST opened I was relieved...finally a solid Deli. However, as you know it slowly deteriorated until I stopped patronizing it. I was initially happy to see it changed ownership. Reading the reviews however, it seems it is continuing to be SUBPAR! The Management apologies are scripted(cut & paste) for goodness sakes!! I think I'll pass! Fortunately, when I go back home periodically, I have several solid authentic options.

Nope! This place…read moreused to be a gem. I would visit the downtown location for breakfast and lunch. I've been visiting this location for breakfast exclusively. No more! I visited on 4.28.2026 for breakfast. I ordered a side of breakfast potatoes, bacon, scrapple. The breakfast potatoes tasted like the old lukewarm potatoes you get from a hotel lobby. Six bucks!! The bacon was ok. Just ok. The scrapple was good. The hot tea (Lipton Tea Bag)... chef's kiss!! I'm good on this place. I had a great run w them for many years.

The food is served via cafeteria style in a quick fashion. You are able to watch your food being cooked which has its positive and negatives. The negative is the kitchen needs a full deep cleaning along with the staff T shirts which has clear evidence of grease and food stains. The drink included with the platter is tea, coffee or a soft drink. None of the bottled drinks are included as signs are posted on the refrigerator doors. I explained to the cashier that I don't drink coffee at all, I only drink tea for a sore throat and I don't drink soft drinks for breakfast. I was inquiring for an additional drink option as I only purchased the breakfast platter because the drink was included. There are no options as I purchase a bottled orange juice to drink instead. There is open seating available with TV to watch while you eat. There is also a bakery and deli counter inside as well. Pretty good parking available outside. I will likely return but, hopefully some feedback will bring about some changes.

It's a small, but tidy store with wide aisles. The majority of the food and ingredients are Indian, and I was excited to find some tandoori spice mix. Close inspection of the cooking directions gave me a chuckle... a simple typo suggests that I must drain the life juice out of someone... truthfully, I have a long list of potential donors. Hee. They also have a nice sized bathroom, which saved my day, and I couldn't have appreciated it more. The fellow behind the counter seemed to be the only employee present. He was friendly and fun. I appreciated that, as well. A fun little detour. Always recommend those.

I only dabble in cooking Middle Eastern food but am familiar with specialty groceries in this area, and this locale had lots and lots of stuff I see nowhere else. I'll leave it to someone who cooks Persian/mediterranean all the time to tell you if it has "everything," but it looks like a great new addition to Cockeysville.
