I'd call Leven Deli Co. a modern deli with both newer and traditional items. What's typical is…read morethat it is busy and lively inside. There's also ample outdoor seating, depending on the weather. The menu has many delectable items making it hard to choose, in a good way. In fact, if I lived in Denver, I'd go back again and again to try everything. The "newer" items include Thai curry lentil soup (which was excellent). grilled kabobs, marinated artichokes, esquites, picked cauliflower (excellent and very tart), dolmas (good, standard dolma), a braised pork sandwich, pimento grilled cheese, and many other items from which to choose. The more traditional items are the classic pastrami, reuben, turkey club, and more, plus a meat / deli counter, giving Leven solid delicatessen cred. The french curry potato salad was excellent. The BLT was one of the best ever had according to my friend. The focaccia & mozzarella was amazing as well. For dessert and I admit an impulse buy at the register, the chocolate, tahini, malted milk brownie was thick, decadent, unique and even better the next day. Great location near the Denver Art Museum, making it a great stop after or before perusing the museum, but probably after because you'll be hungry - you gotta eat something. 5/5, 8.5/10.

I rarely leave a review weighted by anything but the food but I found everything about this place…read moreto be so irritating that I can't help myself. The lack of hospitality and thoughtfulness outside the food is regrettable. The first thing in the door you wonder what you're supposed to do. Someone finally came to get us to direct us but you walk to the back of the restaurant and order at the counter. It's really loud so you need to really listen and speak up. It's night club music. Really bad and inexplicably inappropriate for a restaurant. Who's this for? The employees? I couldn't wait to leave 15 minutes into my visit. They have pepper grinders over by the self serve water station. All empty. We asked the person behind the counter and she said she was surprised that they still had those out there and pointed us to the other side of the restaurant where they have those pepper shakers with the bland tasteless stuff. She didn't go get the grinders. They were there for the entire visit. Someone came by and offered us free biscuits. Neither of us wanted one. We couldn't hear what she was saying. I shook my head no but she left one. She wasn't really interested in our response and you could tell she wasn't interested in doing what she was doing at all. We didn't touch it. My wife ordered tomato soup and a southwest salad. She said neither were special. I liked my pastrami Reuben but thought the pickles were unnecessarily spicy. Way over the top for no reason. Someone knows how to bake bread and that's the only nice thing I'm going to say about this restaurant. DoorDash maybe?

Lou's was a cute & cozy deli that made us the most amazing Italian style sandwiches. They also had home made pastas, speciality grocery items & catering. There was limited indoor seating with one table for six, some counter seating & an outdoor patio. We parked on the street. We ordered the Chicken Parm & the Fried Prosciutto BLT Sandwiches online & ate there. Our order was ready right on time & the staff were friendly & fast. The Chicken Parm was delicious - a nicely seasoned chicken cutlet with fresh mozzarella & a very flavorful marinara sauce. My favorite was the Fried Prosciutto BLT, it was fantastic. The prosciutto was crispy & was instead of bacon. In addition, there was shredded lettuce, tomato & a great tasting garlic aioli on a toasted Ciabatta Roll. I loved this place - I can't wait to go back!

Would recommend if you're looking for a good local deli or mini market.

We had a delightful lunch, starting with cups of, of course, the matzoh ball soup which was delicious. The matzoh balls were perfectly tender and just the right size to compliment the chicken noodle soup. We then shared the #8 from the specialty sandwich menu, a combination of turkey, pastrami, and swiss on pumpernickel. Excellent bread, top quality meat and cheese, and a great combination. I do wish they would stop using plastic to-go containers for side items. This may be convenient for portioning and freshness, but it just seems tacky to me. No reason these items couldn't be tossed into a real saucer for service. A small point, though. Half of a large sandwich (a "small" option is also available) and a cup of soup was the perfect lunch. My girlfriend was impressed and I enjoyed the visit a lot.

Overall, you get a lot of stuff in your bagel (it's a mighty sandwich that will keep you full). The location is really cute. I love the pink and the blues. It's packed quite well so you can bring it with you for a picnic. I did see a tuna melt on a bagel for lunch so I have to come back to try their lunch specials.
