Wonderful lovely service from the second my group and I entered. Fresh, delicious meals that make you look forward to coming back before you finish your plate! I ordered the Reuben omelette with egg whites and home fries and highly recommend!!

1st time having it was through DoorDash. Was stuck at work and wanted something not heavy or loaded dwn with grease. Got a basic tuna melt, but it was amazing. So good infact, that I went bck the same weekend to take my wife. She loves a good tuna melt and there a few places that do it right. I've also tried there hash bowl, which is also delicious. The portions are plentiful and the prices are very fair considering the quality. Looking forward to trying there Kinish?

Home made corned beef? Deliciously well pressed Reuben with a perfectly toasted rye bread?? YES! Loved it. My wife had the veggie Reuben and she absolutely loved it as well. Our server was very attentive and cute. Will definitely go back!!

The veggie reuben was INCREDIBLE! So unique. The matzo was classic and delicious. My husband got the hot corned beef and he thought it was some of the best he ever had, they make it in house. Overall great experience and we’ll definitely be back!

Decent deli. They do have some Jewish dishes but most are standard fare. Pro quiet in the morning and service is good. They also have a large ball room that can be rented

We used to eat here all the time when we lived near by, they have wonderful Jewish deli foods. My faves are the cheese blintez as they are even good the next day if you store in the fridge, and the hot pastrami sandwhiches.

While snowbirding in southern US, a relative who is in the restaurant business in Houston recommended Elijah’s to me as a San Diego area must go. So I went. The ambiance and decor is spot on deli at its best. The grand entrance under the big sign made me smile. Lots of well deserved ‘chutzpah’ here. The commercial home made chicken noodle soup was fabulous. Lots of everything in it including flavour. My friend had an o Leyte and liked it very much I had the 1/2 sandwich-soup combo. My corned beef sandwich was good with a reasonable but not excessive amount of meat in it. The meat tasted good, like home-made corned beef should. Bur it certainly is not up to the standards being set by the likes of Chompie’s in Phoenix, Ken and Ziggy’s in Houston, or Merrick’s in Long Island or even, panzer’s in TORONTO, ON. That said, it was still in my top 10 for corned beef. My bottom line here - It is very good but there are better in nearby LOS ANGELES, CA which would be in positions 5-9 on my top 10 deli list. Do come here for good deli at reasonable prices, with easy parking on the shopping center lot

Great place to enjoy a wholesome meal

Superlative NY style delicatessen. Traditional Jewish entrees and sky high sandwiches are the menu highlights. Daily fresh baked Challah loaves, too!

The food was exceptionally tasty. This is the most prestigious café in our place and I must visit them interestingly, so I am truly glad. Administration was incredible, and our food came rapidly.
