NATE'N AL DELICATESSEN & RESTAURANT

An amazing experience! First time eating traditional Jewish dishes. Amazing service. Highly recommend.

Reuben was really good. The slaw on the other sando was interesting but not my thing. Fries had no seasoning. Portions are solid

Food & Service A+

A resounding “feh!” That’s “mediocre“ for the goys. In my search for the best deli in LA, I stopped by Nate and Al’s and ordered their signature, eponymous sandwich. The pastrami was served as a cold cut or it was just lukewarm. The fries were not crispy, soft, or salty enough to be remarkable. This was my first time leaving a deli sandwich unfinished and my first time adding mustard to a signature dish just to get through it. Oy veh. The meal was criminally uninspired in a city famous for pastrami.

The pickles were unexpectedly delicious and the service was great!

Our final food choice in LA was Nate' n Als. This has a prime location on Beverly Hills right by Rodeo Drive.

The decor was 1970's with a very brown vibe going on. This is a Jewish deli with a casual atmosphere second only in my experience to Katz deli in New York.

The guy at the front desk taking take out orders was excellent and attentive. He kept us informed of the progress of our order and chased before we needed too.

There were lots of choices on the menu but we focused on the Signature Sandwiches. These were served on double-baked bread, with pickle spears. Along with this you also get a side of either potato salad, macaroni salad or coleslaw.

I went for "The Westwood". This was roasted turkey, coleslaw and Russian dressing. I made the mistake of choosing more coleslaw on the side. Forgetting that american coleslaw is not the creamy mayonnaise luxury which we are accustomed to in the UK.

My husband had the "The Canon". The filling in this was corned beef, pastrami, swiss cheese, coleslaw and russian dressing. He opted to pay extra for the steak fries, which was a wiser choice than the coleslaw.

We absolutely did not need two sandwiches, When we ate them later that evening we managed to finish one half each. They were massive! The Canon was more flavoursome than The Westwood. The coleslaw wasn't for us.
