| - We live across from Gruman's deli otherwise we may never known it existed. Tucked away in an industrial type strip mall, I was surprised to see a lovely deli upon entering - clean, bright with a casual atmosphere.
We were seated promptly by a friendly individual and immediately received menus. Hmmm....what to chose? Gruman's has sandwiches, salads, burgers and they all sounded delicious. I opted for the tuna melt on challah with tomato. I had two choices of sides in the form of potato salad or fries, but the server said that "today I can offer you latkes or knishes instead." After asking for a description of both, I chose the latkes which were crispy and delicious and served with sour cream. The tuna melt was also tasty, but too salty for my liking. My boyfriend tried the poutine which was not on the menu but was a dish that was in the running for being added to the regular menu. It was flavorful and quite good, but also very salty.
We also used them for catering for a potluck we attended and ordered the macaroni and cheese and an order of pickles. The order was ready when requested as promised and the food was delicious. Crunchy, refreshing pickles and creamy, cheesy mac and cheese.
I would definitely go back to Gruman's for another try. I just think they do need to cut back on the salt. I'm sure the food can stand on its own. Also, I was surprised to see that I was up charged $2.00 for the latkes. Not a big deal, but the server didn't mention that. In fact, she definitely made it sound like I could get them instead of the other side dishes. That was sneaky which I didn't like. Otherwise, I would have given them 4 stars.
