    Chopped liver on rye with cucumber salad.
    Andy P.

    Good place for deli favorites, safe standard options typically seen in most delis. On my first visit i decided to go for something not as commonly ordered but the reviews made it sound good. The cold sandwich chopped liver sandwich on rye bread. Now note that Ive never had a chopped liver before but i can say it was delicious and tasty! Normally i hate bread but the rye used was great cold! Our server was very attentive and active. Ambiance was not noisy for 3pm, very few customers but it was post lunch hours. Overall i would come back.

    Would have given it a much higher score if I couldn't have seen the chef eating off the grill with his fingers and then not washing his hands and preparing other foods. Coffee was good and prices were reasonable.

    Curried chicken sandwich
    Alizul Z.

    Morts Deli is where the aroma of pastrami and dill pickles is so potent it's basically its own, very delicious, air freshener, and the soup can cure an ailment you didn't even know you had. Recently remodeled with a wall now separating it from the once attached Beas Bakery, this delicatessen has grown into its own unique space. Nice comfy booths, a deli counter showing off daily made egg salad, tuna salad, olives, cheese, juicy roast beef and fresh baked breads. We sat down and we were attended to by our hostess who brought us ice waters. We got the curried chicken sandwich on sourdough with potato salad and big pickle slices. It was well seasoned, nice soft bread, tangy mustard sauce on the side. I love that the curried chicken salad had raisins in it, which added a touch of sweetness. The potato salad was also very creamy and chunky and tangy. The pickles were so refreshing and crisp. They were a perfect contrast to the sandwich overall, with tax we paid around 29 bucks so definitely on the pricey side. My critique is that for the prices they are charging they need to be serving larger portions because the service was excellent, and the restaurant itself is very clean. A larger portion of potatoes and a bigger sandwich size!

    Matzo ball soup
    Rebecca T.

    Came for lunch with good company. Service was attentive and friendly. I opted for a lunch combo, which came with half a pastrami sandwich and matzo ball soup. The matzo ball was MASSIVE and light and fluffy; it was really a good bang for our buck! The pastrami sandwich was okay; not the best pastrami I've had, but it did the trick to satisfy my cravings. Lunch combo was decent at $19, and overall, a solid meal while in the area

    A neighborhood Jewish deli that is still a good one! I hadn't been here for many years and it was nice to come back. Our server was excellent and took great care of us. The food quality was superb. I will definitely come back when I am in LA. The portion was large and I had enough to take home and enjoy the next day.

    5 stars just isn't enough for the experience I had a couple days ago at Mort's Deli. The menu itself is very impressive but the taste of the food was even better!!!! You can just taste the quality. Our server, Mario was super personable and kind. The manager, Don also came out and gave us a little history on the place which he just didn't have to do. Heard that I like pickle juice and brought me out a cup of pickle juice and a plate of extra pickles LOL! You just don't get this level of customer service anywhere nowadays. Back to the food... BEST pastrami rueben and pancakes I've ever had in my life! Coming back to try more of the menu and also because I throughly enjoyed my time there in all aspects as a customer. Mort's is how you do business the right way.

    Vegetable omelette
    Jamie F.

    Excellent vegetable omelette and hash browns at Morts. Was exactly what I was craving. Professional service. Loved the bagel too. Clean comfortable restaurant, recently redone. Food was so nice and hot, fresh off the grill. Lots of vegetables. Will order the juice and try the espresso next time!

    EXCELLENT Jewish deli heaven. Matzoball soup so good, buttery, perfect... Ruben so good, pastrami sandwich ... pickles.. mmm... white fish salad the best ever, very smokey. GREAT coffee too. Amazing cappuchino - (exceeded expectations). Very attentive and friendly service. Shout out to Mario - he's worked there for 47 years!

    The authentic NY deli atmosphere.
    Spencer K.

    Very solid food, very nice staff, quintisential deli atmosphere. I was surprised to learn they are owned by the Nosh of Beverly Hills, though Mort's feels more authentically "close to the ground." Blintzes: the format was wider than what one normally sees, which actually makes it easier/neater to eat, and truly delicious. (The jam on the side had chunks of berries making it a standout.) Grilled Cheese: perfect balance of butter on the grilled bread and nicely melted cheese. Flavour: excellent. Fries: very nicely done. Tuna melt: I decided to go outside the lines and got jack cheese. Very good choice. Cucumber salad as a side... dream worthy. Coffee was solid. Friendly service. Definitely worth getting off the freeway to get a bite here.

    Pastrami & Corned Beef - this is half of it.  So packed and full!

    My family and I were first-time visitors to this extremely popular and busy restaurant…read more By the end of our meal, we became fans. Located in the Encino Town Center, I am so happy that my daughter recommended this restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is large, with numerous well-stocked tables and many more tables located outside for patio dining. There also appeared to be a mid-sized banquet room off to one side, behind closed doors, which several guests were exiting to use the restrooms. The entire staff was very friendly, hard-working, and attentive to each of their assigned tables. The specialty here is the waffles; however, their menu is HUGE!!! It offers guests a variety of other food options, including pancakes, salads, omelets, crepes, and more. My family and I ordered Nutella crepes, peach waffles, frittata, and seasoned potatoes. Each item was DELICIOUS, fresh, and well prepared. We plan to return here soon to try other great-sounding options on the menu. This was a very positive dining experience.

I had an appointment in the neighborhood, so we decided to stop by afterward. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted right away and made to feel like we were regulars. We got to pick our own table and once we did, someone stopped by right away to give us menus and take our drink orders. The menu is big and we let our server know it was our first time visiting. There is so much to choose from, so we needed a couple of minutes to see all the options. It was finally between a couple of things for us, and we asked for recommendations. I was told that the hollandaise sauce on the benedicts was really good, and I decided to go with the Irish Benedict, which had corned beef hash. It was delicious and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked! The home fries were so good...crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I loved the various memorabilia on the walls, especially everything related to Coach John Wooden. Several years ago, I had a chance to meet Coach, and he holds a special place in my heart. The overall vibe at the restaurant was friendly and welcoming. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was top-notch coffee shop cuisine. We loved meeting Paul, who was very kind. I would love to go back and try some of the lunch and Chinese options. We had parked on the street but were told that they validate in the parking area behind the restaurant. We'll keep that in mind for our next visit.

While the environment is nicely designed and looks great, the pleasant experience ended as soon as I walked in and ordered. The service was slow and overall terrible.

I've tried the Waffles Benedict, Red Velvet Waffle, and the Matcha Waffle, which were all fantastic. The Waffles Benedict, which came with ham and poached eggs, was my personal favorite (the eggs were the perfect runniness; compliments to the chef!). There is also plenty of seating including chairs and booth options, so larger parties, families with kids, or couples can have a comfortable place to dine. As for the prices, the food ranges within the $20s range (any extra add-ons like eggs, ham, etc. cost a few dollars more). I would say this is pretty typical for an LA restaurant, although it may come off as a bit "pricey" for non-locals or travelers. However, they do offer a very diverse menu, so there is definitely something that everyone could enjoy.

They fill their entire parking lot with employee vehicles INCLUDING the handicap space. The vehicle parked there has no placard so our handicapped parents had to get out on the high curbs outside in the rain. Awful practice for a restaurant that knows how many people come in. There's barely any street parking that are constantly taken up by double parked delivery drivers. The rest of the street parking is taken up by residents of the neighborhoods. No patio covering so there's nowhere to stand except in a little area by the back doors. Overall not worth the hassle of the beat up roads, traffic and non existent LA parking. The waffles are just...waffles. They're good, but so are the ones at every breakfast joint in LA.
