Great hot pastrami and corned beef! Big portions and friendly service. Recommend calling your order in ahead of time as it gets busy.

Great food. Great service. Will absolutely be back! Matza soup was fantastic. Ham sandwich was great as well.

This is the real deal! We made our first trip to Nana's for lunch yesterday and will definitely be back! I had 1/2 Waldorf and 1/2 Soup and ended up taking most of the soup home. My husband had the Yonker and really enjoyed that as well. The sandwiches were flavorful, fresh tasting and really satisfying (and huge!). The Matzo ball soup was delicious! The owners (I assume) were very friendly and helpful. They explained the menu and had suggestions once they found out it was our first time visiting. They also made sure to ask how we enjoyed our lunch, even though they were busy. Amazing service! I really hope that they grow enough to be able to have more eat in dining. There are a few spots (for 4 seats) to eat in, but when it started to get busy due to lunch rush, it gets a bit crowded. It's more of a take your sandwich home type of place. We live a little farther away so will try to come on off times or when weather is warm so we can eat outside.

This is my families go to Delhi spot we're about a half an hour away and it is worth the drive every time. All of their meats are amazing the kids love the sandwiches even there tuna is phenomenal. And the staff is always exceptional. Pro tip make sure you get the pickles and try the matzoh ball soup. Thank you guys for always being awesome and we will see you next time

Some of the best people around making some of the best sandwiches in Crystal Lake. The Waldorf is epic! Great family owned business to support!

We went there today knowing they had gluten free bread. They did not disappoint. The gluten free bread was amazing. So much meat. Worth every bite. The owners were so friendly.

MY FIRST EVER REVIEW! I couldn't leave this place without showing my appreciation for this great shop.. The sandwich artist that made our food was so helpful with choices and really easy to talk to, leaving the most friendly impression. Thanks Sammy. It turns out she is the owner along with her husband, who explained, what exactly was pastrami.The sandwiches are huge! Be prepared to have some left overs. Do yourself a favor and stop in this delicious sandwich shop. :) 5 stars!

Outstanding all around! Nana is the sweetest lady! I could seriously taste the love in the sandwich that I ordered! Also the Matzo ball soup was so yummy and comforting I enjoyed every bite! 10/10 would recommend Nanas for their food and their warm customer service!

I've been meaning to try this place out and I finally did, I will have to come back soon! I had the "Gabagool" sandwich and Matzo Ball soup... both were amazing and huge portions of all the good stuff. My wife had the meatball sub and said it was amazing as well. It's not super cheap, but you get what you pay for

Gave Nana's Deli a try! I've saved this trip up for a day that was cold and snowy. There is nothing better on a crummy cold winter day then a bowl of matzo ball soup. Walked in felt like I was in chicago on Devon or Toughy. You don't see a good New York Style Deli menu out side of the city usually. I went with the Matzo ball soup of course, I also got over excited ordered the Schmear sandwich and cucumber salad the sandwich is like your classic turkey and cucumber club. It had a wonderful chive cream cheese a butt load of turkey, tomatoes, and the option to put it on a bagel. So I did the only logical thing with a sandwich called "the schmear" and put it on a bagel. Wonderful and highly recommend. My only complaint is that there was to much meat on it. I ate a little under half and then started working on my matzo ball soup. It was delicious!! Pretty sure its homemade ,tasted like it. Only issue I've never had matzo ball soup not strained. So having veggies and chicken was a surprise. Had I known how much meat I was getting with this meal. I would have only ordered a matzo ball soup and cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was awesome!!! Love love this style of cucumber salad. I highly recommend this place if you like Deli's. Even if you've never tried New York style its super yummy and in my excitement I accidently bought enough for lunch diner and maybe lunch tomorrow

Fantastic deli. Superb sandwiches, gotta do the Waldorf or build your own concoction. Nice maza ball soup and vegetarian choices as well as gluten free options. This is a terrific little treasure well worth coming back to.

This deli has huge sandwiches and great choices of sides. All sandwiches are made to order and very fresh. We like to split one sandwich for lunch because it’s huge and then no left overs!
