| - I really, REALLY want to like this place. I am a sucker for Jewish delis, and I've been here a few times with friends and family, and I always get so excited when I come here or order from here...but the food has always been decent but underwhelming. I have tried several things on the menu, and most of it is just "okay."
My most recent meal (ordered through Hurrier and delivered for me to eat in the comfort of my condo) was a continuation of this theme. I ordered the smoked meat poutine, which was like a creative and interesting idea, but the smoked meat just tasted...off. The fries and cheese were just "okay." I ate it, because it was there, but I was disappointed.
I also ordered fried chicken, which is maybe an odd choice for a self-proclaimed fan of deli meat to order at a deli, but I was having a craving. The chicken, too, was just "okay," although I do admit to having very high standards for fried chicken...but there wasn't much meat on the bone and the chicken tasted a bit slimy, which was an odd experience for me, since I've eaten so much fried chicken in my life and seldom had this happen. I ate it; it was edible; but it didn't satisfy my craving at all, and I was sad. :(
Their deli meats are good, though, so perhaps I will stick to those next time. Pastrami...yum!
