Mamaleh’s

Delicious food, great customer service, reliable delivery, I am a huge fan of Mamaleh's Brookline!I used to order from their Cambridge location but do not see a large difference wrt consistency and quality between the two locations.Great food and check out their merchandise too, I got a hilarious "call your mother" pen

Dining method: take outItem(s) ordered: Nova Lox sandwich on gluten-free breadService: Very quick and staff are very kind Value: a bit pricey but very deliciousThe Review: I come at this Mamaleh's review, newly gluten-free. The mamaleh's deli-style shop is adorable, and reminiscent of a NYC deli or bagel shop. The gluten-free bread was delicious, and paired nicely with the toppings, as a bagel substitute. The lox sandwich satisfied my bagel craving, though it could do with a bit more lox for the price. I really enjoyed this Mamaleh's creation, and I will certainly be back for more.

Where else can you get a fabulous sable with cream cheese on a toasted bagel? Always fresh and delicious.

Oh how this East coaster missed deli. Fabulous food & what a beautiful platter. Oh how I've missed this. Pass me a bagel!

My friend and I decided to swing by for a tasty lunch the other day. It wasn't super crowded, though it was midday on a weekday, so I can't speak to how busy it is on the weekend.I enjoyed my pastrami egg and cheese - the pastrami was delicious while the challah bread had a great flavor and texture. My friend seemed to enjoy her salad. I also learned how many bagels tall I am, so that was fun!

Only meh. If you go right when they open, the bagels are very nice warm and soft. If you go later in the morning, the bagels are all hard. Service is relatively fast. And the kitchen appreciation fee....

On a Tuesday morning, I decided to treat myself to a fancier-than-usual lunch before heading to work. At 8am, I arrived at Mamaleh's. As I perused the menu, I initially wanted a breakfast bagel of some sort. However, noticing that the establishment serves their lunch menu all day, I decided on a chopped liver sandwich ($12) and a large coffee ($3, 16oz).I paid at the counter, took a number, sat down, and received my order within 5 minutes. Being the only customer at the time probably helped. Notably, the establishment adds a 10% surcharge in lieu of tip. Of course, should one want to increase the tip, the establishment would gladly oblige.The chopped liver sandwich consisted of chopped chicken liver, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mustard, and rye bread. The liver had been chopped down to an almost pate-like consistency and had no off flavors. Interestingly, at some point I thought I tasted mushroom (most likely my mind thought of mushroom pate and played some tricks on me). The various vegetables all seemed crisp and fresh; nothing disappoints me more than soggy lettuce.The accompanying half pickle had a light brine with no acerbic aftertaste. That made for a refreshingly light and crisp taste.The coffee seemed like a decent house coffee. At the $3 price point, I don't expect some fancy single-origin pour over. A not super dark roast, not burnt, and not over extracted coup will suffice, and it did.Lastly, the lady that brought out my order seemed genuinely nice, almost neighborly. She warned me about the extra hot coffee, suggested I remove the lid, and grabbed a napkin for me. When the sandwich arrived with the half pickle, she remarked that my plate was "smiling at me". Small banter, but it really took the atmosphere from "that random deli across the street" to "the neighborhood deli".

Delicious food, good serving size and easy to pick up on the go. Definitely recommend their sandwiches and salads for lunch.

Food is delicious, quality of products and recipe/flavors are superb, staff is kind, service is efficient, and restaurant is clean (although, looking worn).Potato Latkes were superb.No omelettes, though. That's a disappointment.

Service was quick. Interesting menu. Some of the bagels people were eating outdoors looked good. Got the Ida bagel. This is a plain bagel, cream cheese and jam. When I got home it was a bagel swimming in runny jelly. Disappointed. Won't be going back.
