We ordered from here through Uber Eats. The prices were not bad, especially for the area and the times we’re in, so we had decent expectations. Unfortunately, the food was a big letdown. Everything arrived cold, overcooked, and burnt. On top of that, it was salty but somehow still had no real flavor. I also asked for cheese and it was not added. Portions were smaller than expected for some of the items.
We ordered one platter, two breakfast sandwiches, fries, and two drinks. The order included two eggs with home fries, rye toast with butter, bacon, and a sausage patty, plus a bacon egg and cheese on white bread and another on a hard roll. The hot chocolate was literally a cup of hot water with one Swiss Miss packet, which was surprising. My iced coffee came black with no cream included and it tasted burnt.
Overall, the meal was not worth what we paid and most of it was honestly inedible. I really wanted to like this place because it has great reviews everywhere, so maybe this was just a really bad day for them. Still, based on this experience, I don’t think we’ll be ordering from here again.

Lovely place. People are great and friendly. The guy on the grill is extremely nice and made sure I got everything I needed. He noticed I was waiting a little while and was very attentive. Long waits during busy times are understandable but he went above and beyond to make sure customers are cared for. Very good place. I highly recommend if you are in the area. Also the food is very good. Quality and tasty.

Literal hair on my sandwich was just delivered and I tried calling at 415pm to give them an opportunity to fix it but no answer because they close at 4pm. Extremely disgusting and disappointing had been looking forward to a late lunch

Just wanted to give a shout out to the awesome people at Mama Carmela’s Deli in Darien. I was just on my way to a client’s house and wanted to grab a quick bite. I grabbed some deviled eggs, a buttered roll and a soda. Went up to register to pay and realized I left my debit card at home and had no way of paying. Guys could not have been more understanding. I gave them the three bucks I had in my wallet and they called it even. That just speaks volumes about the great people that own/run the Deli.
Eggs were great and the hard roll was as fresh as could be.
Thanks again for having a heart. I’ll be back to pay my $8 debt and get some more food.

Thank you Mama Carmela’s for feeding our swim team for our championships! We placed around 20 orders that were made so efficiently and fast for us. Much love from Worcester, Massachusetts!

On New Year’s Day, I called to ask what time they closed. The person on the phone said they closed at 2:30. I ordered well before the order time through the website. My order was charged and when I got there at 2:20, I was told that the deli was closed. My order would be refunded and that I had to wait for the owner. I have now tried to call six times to talk to the owner and he’s not been in and I’ve not been refunded for my $55 order that I was charged for when they were “supposedly closed”. If you’re going to be closed, close your ordering window so that you’re not gonna have unfulfilled orders that are not being reimbursed almost a week after the order was placed. I am very unhappy and I do not want to have to submit this to my bank because this is unacceptable.

Delicious sandwiches and chicken parm, baked ziti and salads. They’re always very generous with portions too! Tony and Lou are always so friendly, a local favorite of ours.

Used to be my favorite deli but since new ownership the prices have skyrocketed while the quality and quantity have plummeted. Sandwiches used to be full of meat now they’re skimpy and not filling(see my pic, not sure where the meat is). It also no longer has that personal feel it used to have. I guess all good things have to come to and end.

If you’re in the darien area and you’re looking for a great sandwich there’s probably no better place

Gave me a cold sandwich and straight up said no when I asked if they could heat it up. Extremely rude staff.
