Craving a good pastrami, we came to Nate 'n Al's on a Sunday. We didn't have to wait long for an outside table. The outside tables have umbrellas for shade and strong heaters, which we asked to be turned off. Because we came at peak lunch hour, the service was okay. It was a little hard to track down our server. It's frustrating when you have to be on the lookout to wave down the server, especially when you didn't have utencils or need coffee refilled. As for the food, it was good. The matso ball soup was served piping hot and texture of the matso ball was really good. However the broth was on the bland side. But for a cool cloudy day, it hit the spot. The pastrami (New Yorker - served with cole slaw) was good but it could've used a little more pastrami. The pastrami was tender and moist but I should've asked for a side of Russian dressing to kick up the flavor a little. Read a few commenters about the high prices. For BH, I thought the pricing was reasonable, in today's environment. Overall it was a good meal and I would go back. read more

When a problem is not ignored but corrected, everything is forgotten. Mistakes happen, even in the best of families. And Nate 'n Al's is the place where our family has dined for decades. Laure, the GM, called. She too was away for the holiday, and likely was as surprised as we were. A coleslaw spoiled way too fast. It hardly ever happens. It should not. Here, we correct it on the spot, and we are sorry it happened. We are actually very proud of our coleslaw (and potato salad and pastrami and freshly squeezed OJ and everything else!). The taste of the Matzoh Ball Soup (everything on the side) is what we remember, from the holiday and immediately after the holiday (we re-ordered). Old time customers remain loyal no-matter-what. And Laura, the GM, showed that the spirit is still there, the personal touch, the concern. Exactly as it used to be! read more

Ok, the pastrami (sandwich) was phenomenal but $27 for a sandwich, that's crazy! I did split it with my friend, otherwise there would have been leftovers but it's rare I'd spend that much for a sandwich read more

I visited this restaurant on a recommendation. It seems like an institution. I expected my nearly $30 corned beef sandwich to be tasty. It was ridiculously fatty and disappointing. read more

Oh my god! The pastrami sandwich on rye is sooo good! The definitive classic with a sliced pickle and a side of cole slaw is exactly what you'd imagine it to be. The pastrami was all tender meat, seasoned well between fresh slices of rye with no lettuce or tomatoes. I squeezed a bit of brown mustard on the side to dip before each bite and it was super satisfying. I couldn't believe how good it was. I'm coming back for sure to try the corned beef and tuna salad sandwiches. The chicken soup is another item on my radar too. An old school deli. Nothing fancy about this place...just delicious food! read more

Its patio season! Came here for a little lunch on a weekday with my partner and the place was packed. Still got a booth within 5mins. Fast service and water glasses filled constantly. Food was typical deli style - a massive stacked sandwich. My only qualm was that the bathroom was single stall. read more

Nate'n Al's - Delis Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

We came in for an early weekday lunch. It wasn't crowded yet so we were seated at a corner booth with menus right away. I had heard from colleagues that this was a classic Beverly Hills deli -- and it really is! It has the classic booths, historic tributes on the walls, and tasty looking desserts in the glass case. Shanice was our awesome server. She had our drinks out right away, was super patient with menu questions and had our food out quickly too. She was even happy to help us split our bill. Which is really really nice! Since this was my first time here, I had to go with the namesake sandwich, the classic "Nate 'N Al's". A stacked warm pastrami on rye with lettuce and tomatoes. Plenty of pickles plus a side of macaroni salad. The portion was so generous, I brought the other half home to my daughter who is a pastrami aficionado. It held up well over the drive and she was so impressed she swears we need to come back again soon. read more

My husband and I absolutely love delis. There is a lack of great deli food that's also open late in LA. We heart Nate n Al's. The food is always terrific But.. Parking is a hassle. And eating outside gets very old. But the food and service are well worth it! Enjoy! read more

Not the same any more. Sad! Menu reduced. Food not the same. Obviously a consultant came in & destroyed a legend. Typical, but sad. Good bye...ot was great knowing you since childhood. You will be missed. read more

Do you know the feeling when you're craving a big, delicious, succulent, oversized pastrami and you go out of your way to find a good deli, and when it finally comes to the table, the devastation you feel when you can't find the meat? Well, that doesn't happen here. I was like a kid on Christmas when my towering pastrami was delivered hot and fast to our outside table in Beverly Hills on this perfect day in Spring. The pastrami was piled thick and high - I couldn't wait to dig in. There was no conversation at our table, just edible magnificence. Sandwiches come with your choice of salad and a pickle. Potato salad tasted like it was made on site (not from a mass producer); however, it was a little bland. Great service was delivered by Eddy. There is a large inside dining area as well with a nice sized counter featuring salads, kraut, and a few baked items. Restroom were neat and clean. read more

Good food. Slow service on Sunday. Under staffed. One block from Rodeo Dr makes it nice

We ate here on Christmas. Thanks for being open on 12/25, a day that is very difficult to find businesses open out at which to eat! The food was amazing. Everything was great. I love the menu: stuffed cabbage, pastrami, kasha varnishkes. I wanted to order everything. The knishes were small but very good. My kids loved the matzoh ball soup. Our server was a bit overwhelmed (he said two people had called in "sick" for Christmas) but was very nice and generally attentive. The price is reasonable for Beverly Hills. There was a bit of a draft as we were seated by the front door and there is no exterior structure to keep out the cold. It does get cold in LA in the winter, especially at night! If cold outside, I suggest sitting in the back. read more

Fabulous thinly sliced pastrami. Not too salty, and very lean slices. I would have liked more fatty flavor, but overall a solid pastrami. Reuben was equally delicious. My only critique is they do nickel and dime you. The first plate of pickles is on the house, but if you want more then it's an upcharge. Order fries, and you want some ranch dressing then it's an upcharge. Order a coke, they give you can, so naturally if you want another can then it's an UPCHARGE. I mean, I do know this is Beverly Hills and everybody here is rich, but WTF? Good food and service, but give us a break on the up charges. read more

the wife was feeling nostalgic for deli, so we made the schlep out to Beverly Hills. The place is pretty dated, nit dingy, but just not modern at all. Maybe that is good, maybe not, but it is what it is. The food was OK, but the pastrami was way too lean for my tastes (come on, it is pastrami, not corned beef) and seemed a bit skimpy. Pickles were tasty though. It was just OK, and not worth the drive for me. read more

Never found Nate N Als as a must-visit. But if you are in Beverly Hills, they serve a decent Pastrami on Rye. They have a thick and heavy macaroni salad. The pickles were great. The service was great. However, they do close early, so there are no evenings here. read more

I've been to many delis in LA, and been disappointed by most of them. The only ones I ever found impressive were Langers and Brent's. I went to Nate'n Al's on a Sunday with my wife and 1 year old, expecting an average meal with the typical dry corned beef/pastrami sandwich. The service was the first to be a pleasant surprise. They sat us at a tabletop instead of a booth to accommodate the highchair, and brought some coloring pencils and paper to keep our kid entertained. They also have a bunch of children's options on the menu, and we tried the chicken tenders. I ordered the Reuben. The food came relatively quickly, and in the meantime, they brought out a pickle plate with 3 types of pickles. They were really good, with one being sweet and spicy, the other mildly salty, and the last the typical sweet, sour, salty pickle. The Reuben was delicious, and gives Brent's a run for its money. The rye bread was toasted to perfection, and the mix of juicy pastrami, Russian dressing, and coleslaw was incredible. The dishes all had generous portions and we all left very satisfied. read more

Hadn't been to Nate 'n Al's in years until yesterday (7/26/25). Suffice it to say, "ain't what is used to be"! Their exceedingly overpriced pastrami sandwich ($27.95 !!!!) was tasteless and rubbery. The skinny fries came to our table tepid, at best. The macaroni salad was way too sweet and yellowish in color. Place is rundown. Was told by our server that they're losing their lease and will open in a different location in Beverly Hills. If you're hankering for a deli delight, I'd suggest exploring the likes of Uncle Bernie's in the valley; Langer's near McArthur Park or even Brent's (two locations also in the valley). SO disappointed in Nate 'n Al's. read more

I like this place. Everything is super delicious. I am not a fan of their matzoball soup or chicken noodle as I have had better (and chicken is hard, feels over boiled), otherwise everything I tried is good. I like their blintzes, so delicious! Service was good and attentive, place seems to be busy at different times as I have been there at random hours and they seem to be quite popular. read more

This place is truly a Beverly Hills Staple! It was my first time here and I wanted to have Matzo ball soup. We sat down and we were greeted by Daniel who was very polite, attentive and knowledgeable about the entire menu. I explained that I had never been here before and he informed me of the popular classics sandwiches and bagels. His service was top notch. The food was amazing very tasty and full of flavor. The restaurant / Deli was very clean. One of the cleanest I've been in. I will definitely be back to try out the breakfast menu. read more

Had a craving for deli food so I headed over to longtime Beverly Hills favorite, Nate's Al's. Not only was the food delicious I was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and attentive service. I was seated by the charming host Joel who checked back frequently to make sure all was in order. My super friendly server Daniel went above and beyond from the moment he first approached the table until the very end when he helped pack the food I ended up taking home. The chicken noodle soup was awesome...nice and hot with the right mix of brother, carrots, noodles and plenty of chicken. I ended up taking home 1/2 of my brisket sandwich. It came with a generous serving of creamy potato salad. Very tasty because it was neither too dry nor swimming in mayonnaise. Just the right blend. Didn't have room for desert...maybe next time. And yes, I will be back! read more

I have a self-proclaimed obsession with old school Jewish delis and this place has taken my heart. Why do I have a love affair? Well, for starters the food is just amazing. It's just old school deli style--no extravagant presentation--but food that makes you feel good inside no matter what time of day. It's just comforting and cozy for the soul. What my husband and I notice about this place is how many locals come. We see kids, parents, and grandparents all walking in and chatting with the staff. The servers knew them all by name so it's apparent each generation has passed the love of this gem down. I go with the corned beef sandwich layered with cole slaw and a side of fries. I have all those feel good feelings right now as I type this and think about the last time I had it. Guess I know where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast! Please don't judge that I eat a corned beef sandwich for breakfast! read more

Nate'n Al's - Have you ever seen something so beautiful? - Delis Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I love absolutely everything about Nate and Al's! The prime location, the stellar service, and the excellent food! Their bagels are the absolute best on the West Coast, stock up and freeze them as needed. Their soup and sandwiches are fantastic, there is something for everyone. Service is friendly, and incredibly fast, to go is also a breeze. They are steady for that know how to manage the crowds, prices in portions are extremely fair for the area, too! Highly recommend it! read more

Disappointed that they don't make the llama bean soup anymore bring back the lima bean soup

Old school diner in the beverly hills area. I like the booth style seating and the fact that kids get a bagel "necklace." The food was average as was the service. We got the bagel and Lox, pancakes (dry and not fluffy), and corned beef. read more

DELICIOUS! The host was nice and pleasant. I placed my order and took a seat outside. I sat and enjoyed the people watching while I waited for my iced tea. When it arrived, I was so excited to dress it up with sweetner and gulp until I heard those annoying slurps out the straw, as it searches for anything else to suck up. It was a warm day, lol. I ordered the reuben with corned beef and pastrami on rye. It was absolutely delicious. I loved their dill pickles. They were crunchy, fresh, sour and savory. Glad I came by and look forward to a second visit. read more

I've eaten at Nate n Al's for years. The nostalgia and "haimishe" (welcoming/"home like") vibe is authentic and doesn't feel offputting or cheesy. The food is spot on: the pastrami is legendary, great pickles when you sit down, the coleslaw and Russian dressing are chef's kiss. It's got all the classics (matzo balls, latkes, black and whites, hamantaschen, etc) and they even have gluten-free options (my sister is a Celiac and she's always accommodated). A classic LA deli institution. So glad Nate n Al's is still around! read more

Finally had the time to stop in here. First mistake, I came Hungry! They are refurbishing inside and have outdoor seating for now. I've ordered a Cabbage Roll dinner for here and Knishes to go. Cabbage rolls are wonderful, served with mashed potatoes, nice steamed assorted vegetables, gravy and a bagel. Really a meal for two. I'll be taking a lot home. I'd believe it, if someone said my mother was cooking, or my grandmother. Really enjoyable! It's a well run place, order at their outdoor two man Kiosk and your food is delivered. They have food runners, all excellent, no waiters per se, they split tips between staff. "I'll be back" 2 hours later Update: got home and knishes are delicious, the potato ones, saving the meat ones for later. Oh, and and a very discerning good food lover bowed to the cabbage rolls! Nice Nate and Al's! read more

This restaurant has long been a staple on Beverly Drive, I had not been there in years, an urge for a chopped liver sandwich is what brought me there, so I ordered a chopped liver sandwich for $19.99. What a great deli disappointment! This was the worst chopped liver sandwich I ever had!! It was served as a clump of dry liver between 2 pieces o dry bread. The color was dark brown and it looked like s...t. I asked the server why it was tasteless with no salt or pepper , egg or anything and doesn't it even come with a piece of lettuce and was so dry. She said what do you expect for $19.99, if you want seasoning or lettuce you must pay extra for each item, that's the way we do it here. I choked on this dry clump, added some mustard...this is not what decent delis serve as chopped liver and Never that dry or that color and so tasteless. I will never go back there, certainly other delis serve it properly. This was the worst!! The only good thing was the pickles. If this is a sample of their food preparation no need to bother with other sandwiches or dishes. read more

Dated interior. Bad / cheap food, wildly overpriced for what it was. Underwhelming service. Has no business being in Beverly Hills, definitely not north of Wilshire. It's an institution that is waaaay past its prime, and surviving on name recognition and nostalgia. Was sick shortly after eating here. Will never be back. read more

No frills. Just deliciously consistent food. I had my monthly craving for deli food and headed over on a Saturday afternoon. Parked in a BH city lot and took a stroll past all the tourists and walked right in - and was seated right away. Check out the photos to see my order. Not pictured was my slice of Coconut Cream Pie from the Apple Pan (West LA) packed to go (very very good btw). The interior has been the same for years and you can order fresh bagels to go at the counter. My food was perfectly cooked, came fast and tasted wonderful. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the staff was efficient but not at all friendly. They did their jobs but everyone seemed pretty miserable - not a single smile or thank you except for the guy who handed me my half dozen bagels to go after my meal. read more

This is a follow up to my last visit! This time my server was Stephen, he was an example of what all servers should be. He was very courteous, prompt and checked on us half a dozen times. The pastrami is phenomenal, what a significant improvement. The double baked rye bread was nice and soft with a crunchy crust. They are up there with the greats: Langers and Brents. The matzo ball soup, mac salad and potato salad were also outstanding! The cole slaw they need to work on. If you are in the area you have to check out Nate 'n Al's! read more
