We had a wonderful brunch experience! A delightful egg sandwich paired with a tasty tuna sandwich, along with a strong cup of coffee, really makes for a perfect outing. The new dine-in area must have added to the cozy vibe, making it feel like you were enjoying a meal at home. there’s nothing like finding a go-to spot for good food and a relaxing atmosphere!
We will definitely comeback!

This deli is an absolute gem! The food was nothing short of incredible — hands down some of the best deli meats I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. From the pastrami to the brisket, each bite was perfection.
The customer service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was warm, welcoming, and truly made us feel like family. Jason, the owner, clearly takes pride in what he does — his passion shows in every detail. He’s not only running a top-tier deli, he’s also setting the standard for hospitality.
And speaking of family, Jason’s son is a standout in his own right — he’s got the charm and presence of a future hall of famer. The whole experience was just memorable from start to finish.
If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Jewish deli fare with five-star service, look no further. This place is the real deal!

From the minute my dining experience liaison sat me to the last minute I was overcome with satisfaction. After Lauren sat me down to review my menu within minutes she had samples of the soups of the day. Both Amazing! I soon shared with Lauren this was my first visit to this fine establishment and asked for recommendations. She provided some and again within minutes shared a slice of tuna salad heaven with me. Come to find out they are famous for it and its a “super secret” family recipe that they even turned down the Oprah show for. Smart move in my book. Being a graduate of the famed CIA I love when I find these gems and they dont sell out. Stick with the roots and foundation of the original dream. In my travels I have often found the people who seek the fame mostly FAIL. Let your food and staff speak for you.
And a I digress!
So I felt like a warm meal as today was chilly and sprinkling. Lauren told me to try their pastrami….it was everything Pastrami should be! I also had the Matza soup. Guess what? Amazing as well. I bought some to take home. Overall this was a true ” Nana” experience. I miss mine more than words can describe and this reminded me of how I felt visiting her and cooking with her. Thank you Nana’s and thank you Lauren for the sunshine on a gloomy day. I only took pics of my surroundings because when the food came I just wanted to eat it…ha. sorry!

This great deli has been around for decades and when you enter, it’s almost like a step back in time! With wonderful sandwiches, salads, prepared foods (some choices are in a frozen case for your convenience) such as: meatballs, soups, breaded chicken and side dishes, there’s something for everyone’s palate. The star has always been the delicious signature tuna salad. They also have lots of choices for snacks, chips, dessert and beverages too. The helpful and cordial staff always provide excellent customer service. There is a small parking lot and the entrance is handicap accessible.

Honestly the worst sandwich I ever ate as well as the most expensive sandwich. When the total for two sandwiches came up I honestly thought it was a mistake. How on earth could you charge $16 for a Turkey and cheese sandwich???? The bread was so tough I could barely eat it. So gross and such a waste of money.

We just came home from hosting a gathering at Nanas in their new room in Livingston. I can’t say enough positive things about our evening. The room is beautiful! The food was delicious, and Jason and the staff were so kind and helpful. I am so grateful for the wonderful event.
