Delicious food. We had an avocado toast with smoked salmon on gluten-free bread, a Rueben sandwich on dark rye bread and coconut macaroons. Everything was perfectly done and delicious. read more

The food was delicious but the amount of fried haddock on my sandwich was the size you'd give a toddler for lunch. The Knishes were cooked perfectly and the French fries were excellent. The service was also excellent. read more

Had a hot pastrami sandwich, flavor was fine meat was fatty and chewy. Service was great waitress was very attentive.

Food was really bad- wierd taste and overcooked. I got a club with chicken- chicken was about 1 inch thick and hard as breaking rubbed. yuck. hard to chew and a weird taste like something else was on the griddle with old oil. also got hot dog, veggie wrap, and a bagel. everything was bland and not great. service was bad too- they forgot to bring us two of our orders. when we asked about it, only 1 other order was brought. we just gave up on the other. they also made a mistake on the check (in their favor)- it was corrected but still not great. this place really sucks read more

Great rapid service, excellent deli food Prices are very reasonable. Have eaten here for years. read more

Meet here since it was the half way point for both parties and across from the Natick mall. Love the decor. It was actually larger than I expected once we we went indoors. Plenty of parking as it is located in a shopping plaza across from the mall. It was busy but we were able to get a table fairly quickly inside. They have outdoor dining as well but it was getting a little too warm out do we opted for indoor dining. Food portions were decent. Love that we came around 11 and had option to choose breakfast or lunch items. The menu options had a variety to choose from. 3 of us choose lunch items and the other 2 choose breakfast items from the menu. Our server was friendly and attentive. We had a overall great experience and even had left overs for later. read more

Ordered $19 Rueben sandwich. $3.50 Diet Coke. For $19 the sandwich should cover all the bread. And it should be good quality meat that isn't chewy and full of gristle. The pickle was good. Do not recommend especially based on prices for lunch. $28 with tip! read more

I could never live in the western suburbs because I'd be eating here every day and putting on weight. My Reuben sandwich had the leanest corned beef (or maybe pastrami) that I've ever seen. It was sublime. Zaftig's is always going to be on my Boston itinerary from now on. read more

Overall: OK, not sure if I would go out of my way to return. Service is warm and friendly. Half-sours are good. Portions a little smaller than expected - certainly not large enough to split with a second person. During peak hours, it can be difficult to flag a server down. Bottomless coffee is $3.95, which is quite expensive when nobody refills your cup read more

Still so happy this place is around! They've done something new with their potatoes and I love it! They seem crispier, fresher and I love the green onion & cheese sprinkles...at least I think it's cheese? Same yummy wheat bread and great location for breakfast/brunch! They also have yummy desserts...cupcakes, brownies, cookies and my favorite, the Congo bar! read more

In the area for a short stay and ended up going to Zaftigs a couple times! Great food, tremendous service, clean and welcoming. Chicken & Pancakes dish was a great hit at our table. The homemade corn beef hash was tasty. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

The friendliest most welcoming business establishment I have entered in 10 years. Made to order perfectly., no complaints! Absolutely delicious! The staff makes one feel right at home. Not an awkward glance or phrase encountered. read more

Ordered takeout for a weekday lunch. Meal was just average. A quart of matzo ball soup, had only two regular size matzo balls. Soup was good, tasty not too salty, but at other delis you get one large ball in what is probably like 8 oz of soup in a standard bowl - so a quart size plastic container should have more than 2 matzo. Had a lean corned beef on rye with a side of slaw. Sandwich was a bit small for the price, taste was fine, but clearly not a photo the deli would want on their menu. I know costs are up, but don't pinch an oz here and there and expect good reviews. Clearly, not a New York deli and they need to try harder, before they are just part of history. Sorry - I should have taken photos to show the soup and the sandwich combo. Will try another place in the future. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Natick. First of all, the menu is 10/10, they have so many options and so much authentic and yummy high quality food. The latkes are amazing, the eggs benedicts, omelettes, avocado toast, all so good. They also have the BEST FRIES!!! I am so picky about my fries and I love these, they have such good seasoning and are crispy. To top it off they have a lot of lunch options as well. If you're a pickle fan you will definitely want to get one if their HUGE in house made dill pickles. read more

This is a review for their corned beef hash - the best I've had in a long time. Usually hash is mush, but here you can see - and taste and feel - the individual ingredients. That's what hash is supposed to be like and rarely is. Topped with three poached eggs... Beyond that, this is a nice place. I've been there twice. Good service. Good iced coffee. Good home fries. Very expensive. I tried their potato pancakes and was disappointed. They were very heavy and a bit dry. read more

This place has gone really down hill unfortunately. We walked inside and it smelt like someone had recently vomited it was so off putting. Our waitress was super rude and the food was pretty bland. I've been eating at the Brookline Zaftigs for over 15 years and this location is just super disappointing. read more

Knish. Check. Best ever, seasoned chopped beef, light breading. Did u say pastrami? Want it lean? Want it full flavored? Want it on cissel bread? Yes you do. Get it with the coleslaw. Enjoy the half sour pickle. Service was great. read more

First time trying Chopped Liver in my life. It did not have strong flavor like Liver Pâte or Liverwurst. I had it on a bagel with a side of potato salad. It was very filling with a total of approximately 12:50 USD. Service was very attentive, and professional. read more

I'm glad to see Zaftigs still thriving. they now have seasonal outdoor seatings if you want to support them but we're still weary about indoor seating. The staff are still just as friendly and prompt as they were during my very first visit. Please consider visiting this fine establishment if you haven't already. Like my review and want to see more? please consider nominating me for Yelp elite! read more

Made a special trip to Zaftigs yesterday as I used to live the area and found myself close - was craving good chopped liver and lox and bagels. Well, one out of three was edible. The bagels come from a third-party delicious. The chopped liver was grainy and a very strange consistency, threw it away . The side of lox was all dried out and smelt terrible threw it away too . Very disappointed and a big waste of money . read more

This review is only for the bagels they sell at this location because they are not the same bagels as they sell at their Brookline location. The ones sold here in Natick are not bagels, they are bread. They are pathetic. What a sad realization when I got home after getting a dozen. They are not even made at this location. Yuck. read more

Friendly service. Staff wear fun T-shirts. I feel this place's reputation is based on marketing ( like those t shirts) and hearsay. Not clean. We were in at opening time. Generally this is when restaurants are cleanest. Even the obvious glass booth partitions were disgusting. Food- I ordered challah French toast. It looked and tasted like thick white bread fried in pan. The inside was white and dry. No sign of egg. The syrup is not real maple. No clue how the reviews are positive. As I said; marketing and repeating a reputation. I witnessed a Staff behind counter who serves food, put hand in hair, and nose. read more

We were able to get a table fairly quickly on a Saturday morning which was nice. They don't have any nondairy coffee creamer options that I could tell. I ordered a veggie burrito and realized after I left that I got something different. I was too tired to notice it was wrong but I will say that I barely touched it and ate what was left of my kids meal and the wait staff didn't ask me if anything was wrong with my food. The meat burrito I got didn't have a lot of flavor in it and there was way too much cheese. If you like cheese you'd like this burrito though you might want to add a little salt and pepper. The home fries were gross. Worst home fries I've ever had unfortunately. The pancakes I had were delicious and the meat knish was as well. The wait staff was nice and overall attentive. When I go to breakfast I expect it to be at least as good as what I make at home and this didn't hit the mark. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Was there a while ago, I ordered a corned beef sandwich. My guest also ordered a lean corn beef sandwich. My sandwich was very fatty. Well I guess lean corn beef was also fatty not as much for dollar more. The best part of the meal was the coffee and the Blondie brownie. Not sure if I'll be going back. Service was also very good.. read more

NOT DISABILITY ACCESSIBLE We've eaten at this place before and never had cause to complain, but last weekend we took my mother-in-law to visit. She has dystonia, a muscle disorder in her hands and arms. She cannot lift a cup steadily and needs to drink with a straw. The restaurant would not give her a straw. I asked to speak to the manager to clarify why that could possibly be the case. Apparently, the owner made a unilateral decision that no straws of any type were to be kept on the premises. I told her that not giving straws for environmental reason might make sense for the average customer, but some customers needed the disability aid. She told me that she knew this, and the owner had gotten these complaints before, but he would not budge. Absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant to refuse to make a cheap, trivial concession to guests with disabilities and physical limitations. We will not be returning. read more

Awful rubbery turkey. Wait staff was overworked and testy. Falafel was undercooked, turkey "like rubber" with tons of gravy with no return option. Having no options as the wait staff was/seemed tired/testy added to a costly waste of my time and money!. Pleezze go to CROWN if you want good Yiddish Food. read more

Nice people- good food. Probably 15% too expensive but prices at restaurants seem to be outlandish now so ok.

Got the chopped liver appetizer- it had no flavor. How can chopped liver have no flavor? Also, had a potato knish- it was tiny. Tasty but not much for $4. read more

Not sure why some low reviews but i have nothing but 5 star feelings about the place. The breakfast burrito was delicious and recommended, THE HOME FRIES?!?!?? THE BLUEBERRY TOASTED MUFFIN WITH BUTTER!???! And they are very detailed on COVID precautions. Enjoy the food! I know we did. read more

I was waiting for a real Jewish deli and was a little underwhelmed. I was alone and seated in an obscure corner. I had the corned beef hash, which was good but def had some chewy/ fatty pieces. The waitress was nice, but clearly busy on a weekday. I'll give it another try as this was a covid time period read more

Because the Brookline location has been temporarily closed, my husband and I wanted to come out to Nadick to get our cravings satisfied at Zaftigs! Not surprisingly, there was a wait but it went by quickly since there's lots of stores nearby to explore to pass time. It's also quite easy to find parking here. Once seated, the service was quick and straight forward. We ordered the zaftigs combo, the empire eggs Benedict that has the potato pancakes (our FAV), and the granola pancakes. The combo showcases their popular cheese blintz, potato pancake, potato knish, and sweet noodle Kugel. Personally, I LOVED the sweet noodle kugel and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the potato knish. The potato pancake is also a favorite which is why I love the empire eggs Benedict as I think the potato pancake in it adds a more unique overall crunchy texture and taste than a normal benny with an English muffin or such. The granola pancake was also super filling. We appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet and we loved the flavorful date butter. Overall, Zaftigs never disappoints with the food options they provide. We also had their blueberry muffin at the front counter and that's a very delicious option to go if you're looking for something quick. Can't wait for the Brookline location to reopen, but meanwhile, happy and excited to come back here again! read more

I love a good Jewish deli and this one did not disappoint! I was a little skeptical when I saw only 3.5 stars on Yelp... but what are these people thinking. This is a 4+ star deli. The woman working the front counter was so friendly even though it was super busy on a Friday at lunchtime. My wrap was so delicious. Not to mention the fries were to die for.... And they have the best ketchup packets you can get. Very delicious and totally worth the stop. read more

The service here is very good, with attentive staff ready to upsell but not annoyingly. The knishes are delicious, flaky buttery and fluffy. The cheese blintzes gooey and smooth. The matzo ball soup wasn't my favorite...it did not have the level of flavors I would have expected after the knishes. I do go back though! read more

Ordered two sandwiches. I know corned beef has a good amount of fat on it, but the corned beef on my two sandwiches contained more fat than meat. Very disappointing. read more

I've never been to a resturant that gives you homemade bagel chips and seasoned cream cheese shmear as soon as you're seated. Those chips were so good and crunchy. The knish tasted microwaved and I would not recommend wasting your money on those soggy pockets. 5 Stars for the Reuben Sandwich. It was so big that I happily split it with my bestie and we walked out full. read more

You know this place is great when I come here two Saturdays in a row - completely unplanned. My first time here was couple if weeks ago and fell in love with their challah french toast and potato pancakes! Zaftigs really re-ignited my love for latkes (became obsessed with it after making them in kindergarten and forgot about it after). Their french toast has got to be one of the best I have had in a while and made me remember why I loved french toast in the first place. After my brunch, I really couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it here. There are only a few brunch places that left an impression on me that differentiates themselves from others and Zaftigs is no doubt one of them. The second time here I ordered the french toast again with loaded latkes. Both were amazing as expected. My boyfriend and my friend ordered the Western eggs benedict which was SO good. Instead of the traditional english muffin, they use a cheddar biscuit. It literally makes such a huge difference. The chicken sausage was very good as well - I normally don't order chicken sausage at restaurants, but this was SO good. I do believe that you cannot go wrong here with anything you order. There are still so many things I want to try on the menu. Am I trying to make it three Saturdays in a row to Zaftigs? Who knows? By the way, I prefer coming all the way to Natick instead of Brookline because there is plenty of parking here. The wait is short no matter what time of the day it is - I came here at 9:30AM and 11:40AM and was able to get seated within ten minutes. I heard there are always long lines at the Brookline location but I am not able to confirm that. For now I will stick to coming to Natick because the mall is right across the street! read more

One off my favorite place for breakfast! Usually I order takeout, however sometimes I seat dinner in and the service has been great plus is very clean with a funky pictures on the walls making the place unique! I recommend ! read more

We dined at Zaftigs on a Sunday morning around 10am. While they don't take reservations day of, you can call to put your name on the list within 30 minutes of your arrival. We were seated upon arrival and were served our coffee quickly. We ordered a plate of potato pancakes and the corn beef hash. The potato pancakes were huge! Three perfectly fried potatoes served on sour cream and applesauce. The thick pancakes had great flavor as well. While I didn't try the corn beef hash (also served with toast and eggs), I heard it was great! Would love to come back and try their cheese blintzes. read more

Service was friendly and prompt, though a bit of a wait on a Sunday as to be expected. Complimentary bagel chips as a starter. We got the latkes which were huge and delicious, served with sour cream and apple sauce. The eggs were cooked perfectly, good side potatoes and bacon. Overall good food and experience, but a bit pricey for breakfast. read more

Disappointing Undercooked (wet) grisly corned beef hash Overcooked eggs, dry stale toast, cold home fries and wilted bacon dripping in fat. Very disappointing as this place used to be really good here. Is it under different/new management? Won't be wasting my money here any more... don't waste yours... better options around. read more
