Mamaleh's is a great place in the Boston area to grab a bagel. The bagels are made really well, with a great texture and flavor in every bite. You can tell they put care into getting the basics right. Simple, satisfying, and definitely a spot I would come back to when craving a good bagel. read more

Three of us went in yesterday around 11:45 for a quick lunch and we were all very happy: I had the cold turkey sandwich on a challah roll, the coleslaw and a secret dressing were on the sandwich and it was delicious. I'm also not a huge lover of pickles, but the nice big one accompanying the sandwich was good! Other dishes were the chicken salad on a bagel and a bagel, schmear and veggies. Katie (I think that is her name???) took our order and brought it out as soon as it was ready, as well as checked in with us to see how everything was. We sat along the window for people watching, Washington Square never disappoints! Embarrassed to say it was my first time in, but definitely will not be the last! read more

Was really delish but expected more meat for $18. It was mostly coleslaw with a thin slice of corned beef on the top and bottom. read more

My office ordered delivery from this place and the food was really delicious! I ordered the latkes and egg salad sandwich and was impressed by both! The latkes came with apple sauce and sour cream and was very well seasoned. The egg salad sandwich came on a roll and was delicious as well! I would definitely order from this location again and go eat in person. read more

Whoa Mama Mamaleh's rocks! I have really liked everything I have tried here. From super fresh veggies in salad and on bagels, creamy schmears, solid tuna/whitefish salad, and flavorful meats (salami + corned beef tried), and great breads. Love the selection of Dr. Browns soda including my fave diet cream soda, rugelach, pickles, and fun extras like Zab's hot sauce and house dill/herb seasoning. Staff has always been cool with my indecisive, overly specific order and Brookline location has a cute lively little dining area. It's like a bit of Reins from CT here in Brookline! I just wish this location was open a tad later... Check it out! read more

Delicious food, great customer service, reliable delivery, I am a huge fan of Mamaleh's Brookline! I used to order from their Cambridge location but do not see a large difference wrt consistency and quality between the two locations. Great food and check out their merchandise too, I got a hilarious "call your mother" pen read more

Take out was great! Beautiful design on the paper that they wrapped the pickles and sandwich in. After telling my mom (who lives far away) I was sick she ordered of matzah ball soup for me from here, which was a wonderful treat. The pieces of chicken were delicious, and all the vegetables were also wonderful- al dente. The matzah ball was pillowy. My boyfriend had the pastrami sandwich. He really enjoyed it. Wouldn't be complete without the coleslaw and pickles- which I had to split with him, because it's one of my favorite parts of the Jewish deli experience. read more

Dining method: take out Item(s) ordered: Nova Lox sandwich on gluten-free bread Service: Very quick and staff are very kind Value: a bit pricey but very delicious The Review: I come at this Mamaleh's review, newly gluten-free. The mamaleh's deli-style shop is adorable, and reminiscent of a NYC deli or bagel shop. The gluten-free bread was delicious, and paired nicely with the toppings, as a bagel substitute. The lox sandwich satisfied my bagel craving, though it could do with a bit more lox for the price. I really enjoyed this Mamaleh's creation, and I will certainly be back for more. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning with my boyfriend and his dad. We were looking for a knockout bagel with a casual vibe, and we got exactly what we were looking for. This authentically Jewish bagel shop is so much more than your typical Sunday hangover bagel sandwich. The brioche rolls melted in our mouth, and the Sparkling pickle lemonade was surprisingly delightful! Service was quick and friendly, the seating area was very clean. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The bagel store that doesn't let you buy bagels. I went into Mamaleh's excited to order some bagels and bring them home to my roommates. I order a scallion cream cheese and 6 bagels to go, only for them to say they are out of these items. I look over and can see the amount of bagels that are left (there are plenty). They notice me looking and say that they are only selling bagel sandwiches. I ask if I can order only 3 bagels and get denied again. Why have bagels to go on the menu if you're not allowing me to purchase them?!? Why do you sell to go cream cheese cartons if you don't want people to buy bagels to go?!? read more

We tried the pastrami sandwich and the French toast. The French toast was great--dense, flavorful, and moist--but the sandwich barely had any meat. Maybe only three slices at most, which was really disappointing. The other drawback was that we waited more than twenty minutes for just these two items in the middle of the day, when there weren't many customers. read more

My friend and I decided to swing by for a tasty lunch the other day. It wasn't super crowded, though it was midday on a weekday, so I can't speak to how busy it is on the weekend. I enjoyed my pastrami egg and cheese - the pastrami was delicious while the challah bread had a great flavor and texture. My friend seemed to enjoy her salad. I also learned how many bagels tall I am, so that was fun! read more

High price for a gluten free bagel with just a few pieces of fatty corned beef. I was told that the gluten free bread was no longer because it was too expensive. Service from staff was rough. Sat in the window seats with a friend and there were flies all over the windows. Gross. I only went here once a few years ago and it was good. I recommended it to my friend because they wanted a Jewish deli. I regret it. Sorry but we will never go back. read more

Oh how this East coaster missed deli. Fabulous food & what a beautiful platter. Oh how I've missed this. Pass me a bagel! read more

Visiting Boston for the first time we came across Mamaleh's as we needed a quick breakfast stop. Each item ordered was delicious - especially the nova lox bagel on everything bagel toasted. If you're in a rush, make sure you order online as if it's busy, it may take a little while as everything is made to order. There's enough space for people to dine. Street parking only. read more

On a Tuesday morning, I decided to treat myself to a fancier-than-usual lunch before heading to work. At 8am, I arrived at Mamaleh's. As I perused the menu, I initially wanted a breakfast bagel of some sort. However, noticing that the establishment serves their lunch menu all day, I decided on a chopped liver sandwich ($12) and a large coffee ($3, 16oz). I paid at the counter, took a number, sat down, and received my order within 5 minutes. Being the only customer at the time probably helped. Notably, the establishment adds a 10% surcharge in lieu of tip. Of course, should one want to increase the tip, the establishment would gladly oblige. The chopped liver sandwich consisted of chopped chicken liver, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mustard, and rye bread. The liver had been chopped down to an almost pate-like consistency and had no off flavors. Interestingly, at some point I thought I tasted mushroom (most likely my mind thought of mushroom pate and played some tricks on me). The various vegetables all seemed crisp and fresh; nothing disappoints me more than soggy lettuce. The accompanying half pickle had a light brine with no acerbic aftertaste. That made for a refreshingly light and crisp taste. The coffee seemed like a decent house coffee. At the $3 price point, I don't expect some fancy single-origin pour over. A not super dark roast, not burnt, and not over extracted coup will suffice, and it did. Lastly, the lady that brought out my order seemed genuinely nice, almost neighborly. She warned me about the extra hot coffee, suggested I remove the lid, and grabbed a napkin for me. When the sandwich arrived with the half pickle, she remarked that my plate was "smiling at me". Small banter, but it really took the atmosphere from "that random deli across the street" to "the neighborhood deli". read more

Mamaleh's catered our meeting, and the food was a huge hit! A room full of scientists spent five minutes discussing how incredible the sandwiches were! I highly recommend it for any event or lunch! read more

First and last time! trying to find a kosher or even kosher style deli like you have in NY....well Boston is not the place. decided to try Mamaleh's...big disappointment. prices high, quality low. ordered the 1/2 Pastrami and 1/2 Corned Beef. 4 -6 rubbery slices of gray meat on lackluster rye bread and a pickle that had seen better days. I don't mind a steep price if the quality is worth it...this was not worth it. Come on Brookline, you can do better. read more

We used Mamaleh's to cater two events that our nonprofit organization hosted this past summer. We found the service provided to be excellent, prompt, and the food was extremely tasty. The catering department was also very communicative and easy to work with. We highly recommend using Mamaleh's for any event! read more

Really great hot pastrami ordered the 8 oz yummy! Also ordered everything bagels and lox with veggie cream cheese and a side of chopped chicken liver. Just a great as homemade. read more

We ordered food from this restaurant twice. Excellent food and good service as well! I had a Lox, scrambled eggs and onion with dill mayo on a homemade challah roll. My husband had Turkey Reuben which is farmer's and Cook's turkey, russian dressing, swiss, and sauerkraut pressed on seeded rye bread. Both are delicious. We loved it ! read more

Where else can you get a fabulous sable with cream cheese on a toasted bagel? Always fresh and delicious.

Food is delicious, quality of products and recipe/flavors are superb, staff is kind, service is efficient, and restaurant is clean (although, looking worn). Potato Latkes were superb. No omelettes, though. That's a disappointment. read more

Only meh. If you go right when they open, the bagels are very nice warm and soft. If you go later in the morning, the bagels are all hard. Service is relatively fast. And the kitchen appreciation fee.... read more

As someone who is obsessed with the quintessential egg and cheese, I was supremely letdown with this place. It was not a freshly cooked egg on the sandwich! It was one of those prepared eggs in the sandwich and it was so upsetting. The challah roll it was on was at least delicious. The service was efficient. Definitely come earlier in the day on Sunday, this place was full when I came by. read more

Shop: Small but cute and fairly good amount of seating if not busy I came Saturday at 9 and no problems finding a seat Service: The Staff was welcoming and patient as I was overlooking the menu for the first time. Pricing: Very affordable Food: Came out fairly quickly and good portions for those who eat light you could split the sandwiches since the bread can be filling. Fresh and hot and adorable portions for mini pastries and drinks just right for a meal for one or affordable brunch! read more

Good effort. They did leave something out of the order. When I called the person dispassionately accounted for it with no certain apology and claimed they would address it. The food was fine, ok, but, churning out food from love is challenging. We ordered a lot of items in multiple categories. Each category worked. Food was delivered in a very timely manner, each item properly isolated in individual wrapping. I felt the web site left an impression items would be significantly better if not larger. read more

Whoa! Hold up, the Leo is pre- made, and a sandwich. The prices, are unreal. What brought me in was a cinnamon babka that I tried at a party. Was going to stock up on take out, but everything was frozen. Turned me off. The prices were sick! Granted their are not a lot of good delis anymore that are close by, so they Gouge you. We split a Turkey sandwich that I think was $14.00 and maybe had 2 oz of Turkey in it. Mamala, check out the delis in NYC.. that's a sandwich! read more

Delicious food, good serving size and easy to pick up on the go. Definitely recommend their sandwiches and salads for lunch.

this is the second time I got takeout from mamaleh's in Brookline the first time I got the corn beef sandwich with the deli, mustard and rye bread. It was very good they serve it hot. It was very tasty and on the leaner side which is what I prefer . I also got the frozen knishes, which when heated up we're very good as well got five pieces of rugaleh , and it's the best I've had in years it's almost impossible to find good rugaleh in Boston.. today I got a pastrami sandwich and a turkey sandwich. The pastrami was good nice and lean the turkey sandwich with the homemade Russian dressing was very tasty. I got the matzoh ball soup, which was great not as good as my mom's was but pretty good and lastly, the pickles that they give you with each sandwich excellent I thought I was eating good pickles that I had purchased at Whole Foods. There is no comparison the ones with your sandwich are so much better. read more

Good food and nice staff. Lots of options for all. A little small if you want to eat-in, can get crowded.

These dudes are a replacement for Joan and Ed's deli back in the day. Top notch! I'll order again for sure.

Best bagel I've found in the area, much better than the other popular Kupels bagels nearby. This is the closest I've found to far to a good New York bagel. Halvah chocolate banana muffin is delicious, super moist banana bread with melted chocolates pockets within. read more

This place always always always burns my bagel. They do one thing, why not get it right. Nice staff though.

I had the hot corned beef sandwich which was of poor quality, obviously pre sliced. Not only did it have little flavor and toughness, it was way overpriced. $27 for a sandwich and a water, please. They are pretending to be a real deli, they are not. Will never go back. Stay away from this place. read more

Got a Corned Beef Reuben. More sauerkraut and dressing than corned beef. Bread was the best part. Not what I expected for a $15 sandwich, plus additional 10% for "fair wage surcharge." Would not get again. Would chose Michael's any day over this. read more

Service was quick. Interesting menu. Some of the bagels people were eating outdoors looked good. Got the Ida bagel. This is a plain bagel, cream cheese and jam. When I got home it was a bagel swimming in runny jelly. Disappointed. Won't be going back. read more

Stayed in brookline just down the street from Mamaleh. My son has peanut and treenut allergy and we were accommodated. We ate here a total of 4 times and he was fine~ My kids loved strolling down the road to sit down on the table and bench outdoors enjoying their bagel and/or pastries. Coffee was very good, both cold and hot. Its dark roast and has too body to it. Salami egg and cheese sandwich was good but it had too much mustard and had to scrap it off. It was good but not worth $8.5 as it was mostly egg. Chocolate and Cinnamon Babka Muffins were yummy~ they arent flaky, but they are more of a brioche consistency: Soft and Chewy. It was my little 5 year olds fav~ Bagel, Schmear, and Vegetables bagel was SOOO GOOD! My husband cant stand cucumbers so if you are like him ask them to leave them off! My 9 year old and I loved it. Now, the Ida... we discovered this on our last visit and I think it was the best! It was just simple cream cheese and raspberry jam, but something about the seedless raspberry jam made it sooo good! the jam is not too sweet. I am not regretting not buying the raspberry jam!~ read more
