If you're craving an authentic Jewish deli experience in the western suburbs, Schmaltz Delicatessen…read morein Lisle is a must-visit. Known for their classic New York-style sandwiches, house-cooked corned beef and pastrami, and traditional deli staples like matzo ball soup, latkes, knishes, and fresh bagels, this place truly delivers the full deli experience. Their bagels are traditional NYC style -- boiled, topped, proofed, and baked fresh daily. My husband and I tried the Asiago cheese, spicy pepperoni, and onion bagels, and they were all delicious. Inside the deli you'll also find a huge selection of freshly baked goods including: * Rugelach * Cherry & Strawberry Carnegie-style creamy cheesecakes * Colossal chocolate eclairs * 5-layer carrot cake & chocolate blackout cake * Classic black & white cookies They make 16 different bagels daily along with pastries, and more. You can also grab house-made soups, their popular egg salad, bagel chips, and other deli favorites to-go. The best Matza-ball soup I have ever had! I ordered the #37 Stuffed Grilled Cheese from their creative sandwich menu -- made with sharp cheddar, Schmacon, mayo, two crispy latkes, all stuffed inside challah bread. Wow. From the moment you walk in, owners Mark and Tonia make you feel like you're visiting friends. You can tell many guests are regulars, and anyone new is welcomed with the same warm smile. Our server Paul was AMAZING and helped guide us through the menu. Schmaltz has earned recognition from Chicago Tribune dining lists and West Suburban Living's "Best of the West 2025." Drive-thru available Private party/event room Seasonal outdoor patio seating They also have a wall of photos from guests who travel near and far to visit, which really shows how special this place has become to the community. If you haven't been here yet, definitely add it to your foodie list.

It's not like they're selling Bulgari jewelry or begula caviar but bring lots of cold cash to shop here because you'll need it. If you're retired or have a big family, you just might have to take out a second mortgage to stock the frig and your food pantry shopping at Carpathia, no lie. I know we've had inflation but some of their prices and the small portion sizes go well beyond that. But if you're willing to blow your paycheck on a good Polish sausage, you've arrived at the right deli but the food is very good, if you can afford it.

When he was done, the ladies walked over to me and asked what they could get me. I promptly told them "nothing,I don't appreciate the way the owner of this business was talking to his employees, he's a ja**off and wouldn't support someone like that." Upon walking out the door, the owner asked me who the f**k I thought I was. I told him "I WAS a customer". He then proceeded to follow me out door while cursing at me . His behavior and treatment of his employees was incredibly disturbing and completely uncalled for. I will never support a business owner like this. I hope his employees know that there are a lot more jobs and business owners who will treat them with dignity and respect. And if these employees were family members, well, that would be a whole other review. Response to the owners response I'm gonna take this as a threat and make a police report. Thank you for showing us all.

Pro tip - request french bread for buffalo chicken, the multi grain doesn't hit the same imo. There's always a cute little snack to find and their chip variety is the best.

Fabulous Balkan deli featuring many items you will never find in your local grocery store. I miss…read morethese types of unique and interesting ethnic stores that are so numerous in Chicago where I recently moved from. This is a Serbian owned business as one can easily distinguish just by looking around. The owner is from the Vojvodina region of Serbia and has put together a fabulous store. I love cevapcici! I tried Euro Market's and they are very good. They are sold here frozen and in a few varieties. I prefer mine made with some lamb, so I chose those. Serve with diced fresh onions and the Serbian style bread. I also loved red peppers in a jar, sold here and they are excellent. A full case of smoked meats and Hungarian salami, the best. All kinds of variety and interesting finds from Eastern Europe. Items from Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Russia, Turkey. Stop in and explore and try some of the unique delectable treasures found at Euro Market. Highly Recommended! Great Find!

What they offer: It's alright not too shabby. Most of their…read moreitems are Serbian but they do have quite a few products from all around Eastern Europe. They have a good selection of Greek olive oils in the big 3 gallon square metal containers (101oz) most of them under $30. You cannot beat that price. Also they carry all sorts of Feta cheeses including sheep feta, Bulgarian Feta, kashkaval and other E.European cheeses. As far as meats they carry all sorts of dried salamis including Hungarian, Romanian such as Sibiu, Polish kabanos sausage and many other dried or smoked meats some that I've never seen before. Lots of canned stuff as well, if you're into making stuffed cabbage they have a good variety of canned cabbage and grape leaves. I'm Romanian but I grew up with a variety of products I mentioned above from all over that region. The service: I would've given them 5 stars, the only reason I took a star away is because of the service, the girl at the counter seemed to be mostly clueless when I asked her to give me some information about a few products. Her English was horrific but that's fine it didn't bother me. Also I think we've gotten used to deal with bigger businesses where they train their employees to behave courteously, she was on the phone yelling in Serbian a good part of the time when I asked her a few questions she talked to me like I was there kind of bugging her phone conversation which I didn't think was very professional. Overall don't let that stop you from visiting this place, if you grew up in the Balkans region or E.Europe in general you will find something that will bring back memories for sure.
