    I was feeling hungry, craving a sandwich, and have no food at home. My options were to either go to the store, or to look up a good sandwich on Yelp! I'm sure you can guess which option I went for! I was surprised to find Roma Deli on the list as I had never realized it was so close-by from my usual morning start. Parking seems to be street parking but there was also a lot right next to the restaurant and I couldn't tell if it was for the Deli or not but I felt intimidated by someone who was standing in the lot staring at everyone that drove in so I parked on the street. On entering I was surprised that the restaurant is so spacious and smells so good inside. I was greeted by friendly staff and I spent quite a while admiring the large menu before making my choices. I decided that instead of going to the grocery store I would get a few sandwiches to take home and eat for a couple days so I can avoid the store a little longer lol. I ordered the Honey Turkey Sandwich, the Italian Combo sandwich which says it's one of their signature sandwiches, and the Roma's Special sandwich. I also ordered a size small Zucchini sticks. While I waited I noticed that the staff is so friendly that they even strike up conversations with guests about different topics and it looks like they have allot of regulars coming and going. I don't feel like I waited too long for my food, I browsed a little along the walls and sat for a little relaxing and before I knew it my number was being called. I paid and took the food with me and I could feel steam rising out of the bag, that's how fresh the zucchini was. I did not get to take a photo of the zucchini because I ate it the whole way home, and let me tell you that was the most generous size small portion I've ever seen. I love zucchini and these were lightly breaded and nice thick but well cooked cuts of zucchini. When I got home I decided to eat the Honey Turkey Sandwich first, I thought I'm just going to eat half and then put the rest away, but it was so delicious I ended up eating the full sandwich. The bread is a nice soft white roll, and the sandwich is bursting to the brim with all the ingredients. This deli is awesome, it reminds me of delis you see in the movies where everyone knows your name, and the food is so delicious. Now that I have discovered Roma Deli you know I'll be back, I need to try their paninis next!

    Meatball Sandwich
    Bianca C.

    Honestly this place is very impressive when it comes to not only customer service but the quality of food you receive! They have so many options to choose from ranging from breakfast to sandwiches/pizza/salad/pastas/appetizers/desserts literally a one stop shop. My favorite is the meatball sub and even the half portion (as pictured) is a very nice size. We also get the fancy sandwich which is one of their more popular items. But I have had their breakfast burritos as well as some of the salads in their cooler fridge and everything is so tasty! Definitely becoming a regular here and atleast stop by once a week. Everything comes out nice and fresh and prepared with care. Store is always really clean and well kept as well. Gives Italian deli vibes inside.

    Pastrami Reuben
    Ryan V.

    Finally found a deli that knows what they're doing. Grabbed a Reuben and their Fancy Italian for lunch today and walked away genuinely impressed. The Reuben was absolutely perfect. Seriously, this is how you build a Reuben - thick cut corned beef that was tender and flavorful, tangy sauerkraut that wasn't soggy, melted Swiss, and thousand island that tied it all together. The rye bread was toasted just right, crispy outside but still soft enough to bite through without everything sliding out the back. You can tell they don't skimp on the meat here. The Fancy Italian was solid too - good quality meats, fresh mozzarella, nice mix of peppers and pickled vegetables. But honestly, that Reuben stole the show. I've had a lot of disappointing Reubens around town, so finding one done this well was a real treat. Service was friendly and efficient. The sandwiches are huge - definitely worth the price. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. This is the kind of neighborhood spot that does the classics right without trying to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes that's exactly what you want. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu, but I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time ordering anything other than that Reuben. If you're in the area and want a proper deli sandwich, don't sleep on this place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Large chicken Parmesan sandwich under 11.00
    Peter V.

    Simply stated: best chicken parm sandwich around! Soft roll, thick breast ,provolone and just enough marinara sauce make this a hit at a price much lower than the chains. Side lot and street parking and hustling bustling lunch time crowd. Excellent service too here in the 91605

    Fancy Italian sandwich. Delicious and high quality ingredients.

    The fancy Italian sandwich is delicious. Bread has crunch to it. High quality ingredients.

    So many options but definitely more than just a deli. We ordered this for a work lunch so ordered sandwiches both hot and cold, salads, calzones. Went I went to pick up the order and although it wasn't ready I only waited another 5 minutes and staff was very friendly. Lots of tables inside for those who choose to dine in. They packaged each sandwich and labeled it so it was easy to give out each persons order. I ordered the Italian and it was very good just got my order incorrect as I didn't want mustard but it had it. Friendly service and a good tasting sandwich made up for the error though.

    Roma Special

    Family owned deli spot, with the old school restaurant feel. Whole staff was friendly and welcoming. A+ customer service and the Roma special sandwich with fries was on point too!

    Fancy Italian Combo
    Daniel D.

    Their subs are on point. Quality meat, tasty bread, good service, great price. I'd recommend.

    Zucchini Sticks
    Jacob C.

    Delicious Zucchini, pizza by the slice, sandwiches, and gyros. Tell me a place by you that has those items and serves breakfast all day. They also have burritos, dessert, and burgers. I ordered online from their website and it arrived in 30 minutes. The staff is very friendly. I paid with cash and all was amazing! Another Valley Gem in NoHo.

    Ellen K.

    Pretty disappointing today. Uber eats order. - Cheese Steak Pastrami Sandwich 2.4/5 Tasted like a regular pastrami sandwich with no cheese and A LOT OF OIL. I thought it will be cheesy but it wasn't. Lots of mustard applied. - Pasta Salad 1.2/5 It tastes good but literally only pasta noodles. Nothing else (even though it's in the description). See pic.

    Can we place phone orders?

    yes, I use to call in orders to feed the crew at work.

    Is this place pet friendly?? I am stopping by and have my tiny dog with me.

    Hello Kimberly, unfortunately the health department doesn't allow us to allow pets unless they are service dogs.

    Do they have beer or wine?

    I think they may have beer in their section for refrigerated drinks but Im not certain.

    After seeing the social media post about their meatball subs, I had myself a mission!…read more First impressions: The place is extremely clean, both inside and out. Almost like a brand new car. It's got a seriously cool vibe to the place; almost a mix of Mel's Diner nostalgia, but the ambience of an independent comic book shop that has all the cool toys. They carry a seriously good swath of international snacks and beverages that you will not find many other places. And the only thing that would make it better is if they had a counter you could sit at and enjoy your meal. First attempt pulled up lame when I was told they were out of meatballs and wouldn't have any for at least three days. Crushed. I had my heart set on the meatball so I didn't order anything else on the left.. Second attempt turned out much better because they had the meatballs!! I ordered it up and was told it'd be :20 (and came within :10) so I sat at the couple of tables just outside the front door. I was planning on eating the sandwich there, but it was way too hot outside so I took it to go. Driving home and not looking inside to see what it looked like. Because the sandwich wasn't as heavy as I expected when it was handed to me, I suspected the social media video was a bit overblown on portion size, so I was excited to get home and see. The first thing I noticed was that the sandwich was a pretty good size, and just tantalizingly presented, and cooked with some great browning. I picked it up and tried to take a bite, but the meatball was bigger than I could get my mouth open! However, I persisted and that's when I found out that the ride home caused the bottom of the bun to get a little soggy, and everything started squirting out through the bottom, so I made the sad decision to try to eat it with a fork and knife (which really is the saddest way to eat a good sub). However #2, the second half of the sandwich did not suffer the same fate, so I was able to pick that up and that section of the sandwich the way it was meant to be enjoyed. All-in-all, the sandwich pretty much lived up to expectations. Visually appealing, large portions, tasty, but fairly tame flavor. Textures were great. Not as messy as I expected, but just enough to give you extra licks on your fingers. Also, it didn't sit in my gut the way I thought it would, especially considering I've been fasting all day for medical test (and this was my reward). I was full and content, but not stuffed.

    Sandwiches are solid and the sandwich guys are always cool and helpful. But the vibe is lackluster…read moreand clicky. The dude at the register (pretty sure he's the owner) is consistently dry and acts like you're invisible. I always order, pays and say thank you... and get zero response from him every single time.

It may just also be my favorite deli in LA for anything vegetable/side dish. As other reviews note, the selection of prepared foods for such a small shop is staggering. I've been coming for three years now, and while I'm guilty of ordering my favorites often, I think I'd have a tough time making my way through all of the foods on offer even if I switched it up on each visit. 4 different types of meatballs (the chicken breast one is to die for), lox, cabbage rolls, at least a half dozen cooked seafood options (shout out fish in tomato sauce), stroganoff, 3-4 different types of couscous and plov....and that's only half of the non veggie section. The cakes are great (Black Forest and walnut go hard). The Russian/Ukranian chip flavors rule. There are specialty candies and jarred foods and good looking fruits and veggies. There's an off menu soup with dill and little chicken meatballs that I'd recommend to anyone ailing in a heartbeat. And then, finally, we arrive at the salads and cold veggies. Nonstop bangers. The beet salad with prunes and garlic may sound wild for non Eastern European tastes, but it's unique and addictive and works. The potato salad Olivier? Best potato salad I've ever had. My wife has recently discovered the zucchini, which looks like a bunch of unassuming diced veggies but tastes savory and complex and herby. You'd be the hero of every picnic or backyard bbq ever grabbing side dishes from here. Seriously. The kind folks who work here will let you sample too, which is helpful when there are so many options. Some places wear their culture on their sleeve, fill your stomach with the love of a home cooked meal, and remind you that diverse communities are the heartbeat of this city.

Yep! +Heart hands emoji+ This market does a great job of offering a nice seat and friendly conversation to the average dine-in customer. Stop by to sip on an imported pear juice. Try a bite of fresh cream cheese cake with berries. Ask for advice! Go for the Beef Plav which is an employee favorite.

Her survival story led to me requesting female cancer screenings which led to the surgeries that saved my life. (**Confetti flying **) There's a very long list of doctors and people who have helped me survive and recover to whom I live for in gratitude. Our commitment to the people and values which help us survive the impossible compels us to rise to the occasion of coming back stronger and better than we ever could have accomplished before or alone. So I'm drinking bone broth, eating extra protein, taking vitamins. And lifting weights with steadfast determination to recover my strength and then some. (Go Navy!) No market has helped me more in this health effort than this hidden gem. (Many thanks!) I am the customer who buys ALL the boxes of pastilla. (SORRY OTHER CUSTOMERS!) Pastilla is a layered pastry made of baked apples and eggs white, no sugar and nothing else! It's a miracle of a snack! Tastes like apple cake, made of egg whites. Protein in my car after working out? Five million stars. ***** To all y'all spending big bucks on cold bone broth, consider the chilled chicken gelatin dish here. Khoolidets? -It's rich with real collagen, high in protein and perfectly balanced with firm carrots and vegetables.I love this dish! Five stars. A real life look young dish!

It was on the early side, so the servers were all embroiled in personal conversations, and it took quite some time for someone to approach me -- but once they did, they took good care of me, checking on me multiple times, and making sure I had everything I needed. Ambiance and decor are unchanged from whenever they built the place, but perfectly clean and well-maintained. While I was initially delivered the entirely wrong order (no harm, no foul), my pastrami sandwich eventually arrived hot and juicy, and decently portioned. The meat was flavorful and just fatty enough to be indulgent without crossing the line into a problem; the rye was sturdy, with good flavor, the Swiss had the right level of bite, and the Russian dressing provided just the right contrast of creaminess. It was a good sandwich. The potato salad was far less successful, tasting commercial and somewhat sour -- not spoiled (I don't want to give that impression), but more acidic than creamy, and therefore less enjoyable to me. Of course, the Dr. Brown's was flawless.

I also finished watching The Sopranos and well I did want to try "Gabagool" and see why it seemed like everyone on the show went crazy for it. So, I looked up the menu, and saw you can build your own sandwich, and I went for Capicola, Provolone, and pepperchinis. Along with tomatoes and other things. Best sandwich I've had in a while. The bread was nice and bouncy. Also, the servers were very friendly. Safe to say, I will be returning here for more awesome sandwiches in the future! :)

    On Sunday afternoon, May 31th today, my mom, one of my brothers, and I went to Magnolia Car Wash in…read moreBurbank to get my moms car washed. While we were waiting, my mom suddenly became very hungry. Both she and I tend to get low blood sugar, so when hunger hits, we usually need to eat something right away. Since the car was being washed, we looked around for a place within walking distance and happened to discover this small Italian deli nearby. They offered sandwiches and pasta dishes. Since both my mom and I love pasta, we decided to have lunch here. We ordered spaghetti with marinara sauce (no meat). When ordering, we were asked whether we wanted penne or spaghetti, and we chose spaghetti. My brother ordered the Eggplant Lasagna. Both dishes came with garlic bread, and the garlic bread was absolutely delicious. The spaghetti was so good, and the Eggplant Lasagna was equally tasty. The restaurant itself was very small, but it felt like discovering a hidden gem. I noticed photos of Hollywood stars displayed on the walls and wondered if they were pictures of celebrities who had visited the restaurant over the years. According to the information displayed inside, the restaurant has been operating since 1971, which explains why it feels like such a long-standing neighborhood favorite. The staff members were all very friendly, and I left an additional cash tip. My mom kindly treated us to lunch today using her credit card, and I am very grateful. There were, however, two downsides to our visit. First, I used the restroom and noticed that it had a bad smell there. Second, after checking in on Yelp, I noticed that the restaurant's posted closing time was 3:00 PM. We arrived around 2:30 PM for a late lunch. My brother was delayed because he had to pick up the car from the car wash and didn't arrive until around 2:45 PM. While we were still eating, one of the staff began putting chairs up and cleaning the dining room. By 3:00 PM, it felt as though they were waiting for customers to leave. The front door was left open, and the atmosphere made us feel somewhat rushed. I asked one of the staff members what time they closed, and he confirmed that they closed at 3:00 PM. We quickly packed up our remaining garlic bread to go and left shortly afterward. On a positive note, when I asked for a to-go box, they were very friendly and carefully packed everything for us. Overall, the food was delicious, and the staff was kind. However, I didn't particularly enjoy having the chairs put away and the dining room cleaned while customers were still eating. It would have been nicer if someone had simply let us know that the restaurant closed at 3:00 PM. We would have gladly finished up and left on our own. Despite that issue, I still enjoyed the food very much and was happy to discover this hidden neighborhood gem. I love Italian food, and I've dined at many upscale Italian restaurants with elegant atmospheres over the years. While this place is small and simple, the food was truly excellent and full of flavor.

    WHEN: Sun Dec 14th @11am…read more We have just arrived to SoCal by car, and before checking into our Airbnb, we figure we swing by this spot located in a ghost kitchen to pick up some lunch. After placing an order on their website, you would park in the back lot where it's free parking, and enter a tempt room of lockers. I wish they included this in the text where you are to CALL THEM to let them know you've arrived so they can bring your order out to you. It's not like the other establishment in this shared kitchen where they just leave it in one of the order cubbies to pick up. So here I am like an idiot just standing and waiting in the empty room for my order. I didn't know until I checked my email and it said to call them in my receipt. Oh well. Anyway, here's what I ordered: BASTURMA BRISKET - $29 Hand Carved Basturma Brisket, Pickled Persian Cucumber, Chaman Spread, and Swiss Cheese. Served in freshly baked pita bread. I know, what kind of sandwich costs nearly $30!? But let me tell you, you are getting both quality and quantity in this bad boy. This reads 2 people, and those 2 will enjoy this thoroughly. Yes, it's a bit on the saltier side, but that's why you have the cucumber to balance it out a bit and the warm and soft pita bread. The brisket was tender and I loved the spread (which you can buy!). It's such a unique take on the common pastrami sandwich. So remember: 1. Order online (no phone calls) 2. Park in the back 3. CALL THEM, letting you know you have arrived. 4. Enter through the big doors (its unlocked) 5. Wait for them to come out to retrieve order. 6. Enjoy!

    Having heard about this place for years, when it was a backyard operation, I was excited to give it…read morea try. I placed my order online and headed to their ghost kitchen to pick it up. I ordered the Basturma Brisket Sandwich which is their most popular item. I am a big fan of both Basturma and Brisket so this sounded like a match made in heaven. And I was right!!! This sandwich was epic!! The meat was tender and smoky. The spices were perfectly balanced. It had a delicious Chaman Spread, a slice of Swiss cheese and housemade pickled Persian cucumbers. The acidity of the pickles helped to balance out the rich meat. It all came together like magic. The sandwich is quite large, which justifies the $29 price. I only ate half and saved the rest for later. It was just as good cold as it was hot. I can't wait for my friends to try it. They will love it!! Great job III Mas!
