Beba's Deli Market

This deli is in the bldg I work in and very convenient for me. I would love to like this place. The staff seem to be very nice. Today was the second time I've thrown away a meal uneaten. Ordered a chicken pesto grilled panini, got all the way back to my office and found it cold inside. Cold chicken from the fridge on top of unmelted cold cheese. I know I should have gone back downstairs and had them heat it back up. But, I'm busy and have no time. That's the reason I went to this deli on the first place. Anyway, probably won't be back.

Okay I'm a fan of the Cafeteria so maybe I'm a little biased here, but this place keeps surprising me.But then, last time I went out on a limb and had their blue plate special, which on Tuesdays is Chicken Korma surprisingly. OMG, best Chicken Korma I've had in a long long long time. It was mindbendingly good. I couldn't understand how such a good meal was being eaten at a very standard looking deli. I have to say I'll be going back for that particular meal as long as they'll serve it.

This place used to be great, until the remodel...Stopped by today for a baked potato. I ordered the broccoli cheese and my friend ordered the taco. After waiting for a few minutes the chef told me they were out of broccoli and would I mind cauliflower instead. I figured sure, why not. After about 15 minutes of waiting we finally got our potatoes. Seriously...15 minutes and there were no other people waiting so they certainly weren't busy.Prior to the remodel they had the potatoes pre-made and ready to go so it was a quick stop for a bite. This time it seemed they had to make them from scratch. It tasted pretty good (not much cauliflower at all), but if I had known it would take that long I would have skipped it all together. I will not be returning anytime soon.

I ordered a Ruben to test out this Deli as my old favorite down the block closed. They used processed meat and processed white flavorless cheese. And a Ruben should not have cold sauerkraut. I gave it 2 stars because the Ruben did the job of filling me for lunch but I could have ordered a. Baloney sandwich and it would have been just as good.

Points in favor are: Convenience, reasonable prices for what you get, friendly staff.Points against: Smells like a school cafeteria, and some of their dishes fall a bit short. For example, when I think of broccoli beef, I expect the broccoli to be cooked along with the beef. Until recently, they've just sprinkled a few small florets of raw broccoli on top. All in all, this is good enough, especially when the weather is nasty and I don't feel like going outside to get lunch.To the person who thinks the lobby is freaky: Why is that? I work here and I don't think it's that bad.

One of the best places for lunch in the neighborhood. Fast service. Lots of sandwich choices. Tasty grilled sandwiches. Ample seating.

My BLT wasn't bad, although the tomato was on the translucent side. Sandwich was priced appropriately, but this place will stick it to you on the soda and chips. Quick service.

This place is as basic as it gets. Nothing fancy. Two sweet ladies running the place, fast service, decent option of food.Seating area is clean and well kept. I got a hotdog and it satisfies my hotdog craving. It's a nice place for a quick lunch

This deli is in the building I work in (4th and Blanchard) and I go there a couple times a week for lunch. It's a little bit expensive for what you end up getting, but it's super convenient and the service is great. The women that run it are friendly and always in a good mood. I'm usually in a rush when getting lunch here and they're always reliable. I feel really lucky that such a deli is in my building. I usually get their chicken teriyaki bowl, which costs about $7. Their BLT, chicken Caesar salad and bagels are also good. I see a lot of people order their signature sandwiches, but I don't feel you get much for what you pay for. Their drink selection is coke products, vitamin waters and other quick drinks. Don't expect to be blown away by their selection -- you get the basics. If you're in need of a candy bar or pack of gum they've also got you covered. Go Beba's!

In an area surrounded by Tom Douglas restaurants, people have many options to go spend $30 on their lunch if they choose to. There are people like myself that just want an affordable grab n' go so we can get back to work, and a lunch that isn't covered in grease. I am a fan of this little deli. It's small - run by two sweet ladies. English may not be their first language, but if people don't have the patience or kindness in their hearts to make an effort to communicate... then they are a-holes. (older Yelp reviews) They have been nothing but sweet to me and genuinely concerned about making sure each customer is helped quickly. I haven't waited for my lunch longer than 5 minutes. I've tried their sandwiches and really like them! The ingredients are fresh. I never get the "reject" pieces of tomatoes which is seriously a first EVER for me! The turkey ones are always my go-to. The chicken fried rice was really good for a deli place - yes, as another reviewer griped, it is not all cooked together. They mix it together a bit in a skillet before giving it to you, but it's still pretty damn good. Keep in mind, they don't really have a full kitchen to work with. The portions are generous and the rice is PERFECT - not over or under-cooked. I'm eating the mac and cheese as I write this. It came with a green salad with olives, carrots, and fresh diced cucumbers. This meal is bringing me back to my childhood and I'm not complaining. :) If you are looking for something simple but tasty, maybe something that reminds you of lunches your mom would make for you, this is your spot. I will warn you that if you pay with a card (as I always do) there will be nothing for you to sign, or a copy of your receipt unless you specifically ask for one. I wish they would print out a receipt so that I could leave them tips! I almost never have cash on me. :(
