    Jay special chicken sandwich
    Pranathi B.

    This place was right in the complex where we stopped for gas on a road trip. We were searching for a snack and I couldn't believe my luck that I found this place so easily. Place is small, cafe style with around 5 tables. Menu is a mix of sandwiches, Indianized sandwiches, bowls and biryani. We decided to stick to the sandwiches and ordered their special sandwich with chicken and avocados and one chicken tikka masala sandwich. They used very less salt and I didn't find any cheese in the sandwich so I can see why this is healthy. But the chicken avocado was flavorless in my opinion. Without much salt it just fell flat. The chicken tikka sandwich on the other hand was mildly spiced with very less salt as well, the sandwich didn't have anything other than the curry so it kind of got a tad bit tiring towards the end. Props to them for attempting a healthier take on some of these dishes but my taste buds were seeking a bit more.

    Customer service is a delight. Some organic options but the things that aren't are made in store (pesto is organic, quinoa is organic). Offers lettuce and cucumber wraps for all the sandwhiches, super flexible on requests. Perfect for low carb healthy eaters!

    Yummy! Not your avg. tuna melt. Made with homemade sweet chili sauce
    Mille C.

    3.25 stars Loved, loved, loved the tuna melt. Usually not a big fan of mayo based salads. People often add too much mayo. I prefer tuna salad with just enough mayo to bind the salad ingredients. Slow G's tuna salad sandwich was yummy. Adding sweet chili sauce changed the flavor profile. Toasting it and making it a melt took it over the top. Unfortunately, the next 2 sandwiches weren't as yummy. The cold turkey sandwich was dry. I think the turkey breast was roasted in-house. It needed a sauce or spread for moisture. Even the creamy avocado slices couldn't save it. Actually took the leftovers home and slathered on ligonberry sauce (didn't have cranberry) and cream cheese. Much better. The rainbow veggie sandwich had potential but tasted bland to me. The pesto and hummus needed some kick. The raw veggies needed seasoning. Didn't like the grainy texture of the cheese. Not giving up. Can't wait to come back and try the curry chicken salad and chicken tikka sandwiches everyone's raving about.

    The Egg toast.  (Donut in background simply provided for scale. )

    Next to Smart and Final, tucked behind Taco Bell and the Donut Shop is this hidden gem. I have passed it a dozen times but noted that they were highly rated in The Infatuation for their breakfast sandwich. The review was not wrong. It's top notch. Remarkably, it's vegetarian. Japanese rolled omelette. lettuce, tomato, avocado. I am a carnivore. I was very impressed. Slight touch of indian spice. Proprietor was friendly and focused. Lots of nice choices. Simple clean interior. Only drawback, no bathroom. Suggest ordering ahead https://www.slowgeatery.com/

    Stopped by this cozy sandwich spot on our way to Sam's club (coming from SJ). We were greeted warmly assuming by the shop owner. There's a vast selection of sandwiches and salad we didn't know what to choose. Eventually we settled with the chicken pesto sandwich and the tuna quinoa salad. - chicken pesto sandwich - before we settled on this sandwich the owner did warn us that it was going to be more bland compared to his other sandwiches since it is a healthier option. He recommended the chicken bruschetta which has more flavor. However, since we are on a stricter diet, we ended up with the chicken pesto. The sandwich was still good despite being bland. The pesto wasn't overpowering and it felt very light to eat. Definitely would recommend this sandwich if you're on a diet and need something clean. -tuna quinoa salad - VERYY filling. I ended up not finishing my half of the plate because I still had an untouched sandwich that I still had to eat. The quinoa really fills you up and it's not one of those dry grainy textured ones. It was soft to the touch and paired very well with the tuna. The tuna was not a strong tuna flavor which balanced the salad very well. Overall, we would definitely come back whenever we decide to go back to this area! It seemed liked every customer knew the owner which brought a smile to our face because it show how connected everyone is in this area. :)

    Diablo Salad

    They were featured in the East Bay Times in the Food and Drink section for the best breakfast sandos. We actually went to try out their sandwiches and salads and they did not disappoint. They do take at least 10-15 min to make your sandwiches so keep that in mind when ordering. I had the Diablo Salad and added chicken for an extra $6. It's a large salad with enough veggies and protein. On top, they put flax seed chips. It was very filling and it was enough for 2 meals. Would come back if in the area!

    Biryani with Chicken

    I don't know why I keep reviewing this place because clearly I love it but I must reiterate how consistently delicious, fresh, and special this restaurant is! From the kind staff to the flavorful edamame pesto sandwich, you can't go wrong here. Today, I also tried the spicy chicken sandwich and chicken bruschetta sandwich (both bangers).

    Superfood Tuna salad
    Iuliia S.

    Slow G's is our go-to for a healthy lunch or road trip takeout. The selection of sandwiches and loaded salads is fantastic. All their proteins and sauces are freshly made in-house. All the ingredients are of the best quality and freshness. Try their pork or beef J's sandwich or a superfood Tuna salad. Treat yourself to a delicious cookie as well. The owners are the nicest people as well!

    This is the Jay Special with Pork. This is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The hospitality was great and they even gave us a free cookie, but the sandwich was so light and so tasty and the meat was great quality and they gave us a snickerdoodle cookie for free and it was one of the best snickerdoodle cookies I've ever had. I really recommend this place. You should come and try it out

    Wonderful homemade lentil soup.

It was about 1/4 cup quinoa and millet and more tangerine oranges than grains. Look at the difference of portion sizes from our experience vs Yelp photos. I felt this was inadequate and asked for more grains. I got a 1/2 cup of extra quinoa (only). Tofu scramble and pancakes (adult and kid versions) were good. The server tried to insinuate that the adult pancakes weren't enough, but they were more than enough. We also ordered one orange juice for a child (paper cup with a copper straw jammed through the opening) and hot tea. Honest review, it was overpriced and moderately good. I would not return; quality and value for 3 adults and 1 child was not worth $100+ including tip. Hope they consider my feedback to improve; this place has great potential.

I tried their pick up option online so I could order and pay without waiting. The app even tells when your order is ready.

Took it home to eat and wow this was a huge sandwich and full of ingredients. Unfortunately I noticed quickly it was all turkey and no roast beef. They forgot my meat. I sure hope they get it right next time. I should say that even without my roast beef this was an incredible tasty sandwich. Every bite got better and better. I honestly can say I haven't had a deli sandwich as good as this in a very long time. Probably the best Dutch crunch roll ever and so soft with the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness on top.

Let's be real, an employee has to work an average of 30 hours a week to qualify and if there's not 50+ employees, they don't have to provide benefits. This always seems like a tip for the owners. Service is always weird here. The server rushed us at every turn, never engaging, just wanted our order. Ambiance? None. The whole vibe was off.
