Jewish delis, short for delicatessens, are restaurants that specialize in traditional Jewish foods. They often serve a variety of dishes, including bagels, pastrami, corned beef, and matzo ball soup. These establishments are known for their hearty portions and unique flavors, reflecting the culinary traditions of Eastern European Jewish immigrants. In addition to food, Jewish delis often feature a casual atmosphere where customers can enjoy meals with family and friends. Many delis also sell kosher products and offer takeout options, making them popular spots for both dining in and grabbing a quick bite.
