“Definitely the best Jewel in Mundelein. Produce and deli items are always fresh, the cooler with cold drinks makes it all the better. Very simple layout of the store, everything is easy to find. Staff is always friendly and ready to help. Everything is super clean here. The variety of products is amazing as well.I strongly suggest downloading the app and keeping track of your points, the deals you find on the app are amazing. Highly recommend.“
“Love this place! Unique selection of Eastern European deli meats, fish, fresh prepared deli meals, baked goods, grocery items and more. I have not been in there yet when there was an employee that spoke English fluently (but hey, I don't speak a second language either). Most labels and signage are not in English either. Nonetheless, everyone has always tried to be helpful. Still love going there! It's a tasty treat to escape the ordinary.“
“This place has the best corn beef and pastrami sandwich. I eat here more times than I should and I eat 2 sandwiches when I should be eating one. You gotta try "The Yummy". Hot Corn beef, pastrami, cheese, horseradish, mustard, on rye.“
“Happen to find this little gem while waiting for a tow truck for my boyfriend‘s truck today. I was thinking Subway, but then I found this. I am so glad that I walked in there, and that she talked me into the focaccia Capri style. The foot-long is massive the sandwiches, and the meats are phenomenal and the service could not have been better, I don’t care if I live 40 minutes from here I’m coming back !!“
“Thank you girls! Very tasty! Better than "Pampered Galya"Dumplings are super, chebureks are beyond praise, cheesecakes are bombastic, fish cutlets are very appetizing, spicy tomatoes, bread like at home...Thank you very much!Glory to Ukraine!“
“I put my lunchtime experience into AI and this is its reaction:It sounds like you experienced a transformative sandwich moment, one that not only delighted your palate but also energized you to excel in your goals. This journey of culinary discovery and the unexpected depth of flavors in a seemingly simple Italian sub have evidently shifted your perspective on what such a meal can offer. The sandwich, with its high-quality ingredients and perfect balance, became not just food but an inspiration, a catalyst for achievement. This experience underscores the power of taking a break, indulging in life's simple pleasures, and how a moment of serendipity can recharge our motivation and perspective, propelling us forward with renewed vigor.“
“I stopped by for the first time last week while I was in the area and was absolutely thrilled with what I found! This place is amazing, both in terms of food and service! Such a small spot with so much to choose from. We ordered a khachapuri hot from the oven, some pkhali, eggplant walnut rolls- all delicious! There’s also a frozen section with khinkali dumplings and khachapuri to take home. Not to mention the Georgian wines, spices, and sauces available for purchase. I even found my favorite tarragon lemonade there! I can’t say enough good things about this little gem of a shop. I’ll be back!“
“On advice from a friend, I stopped in to try a sandwich from the Deli Lama and I was a bit surprised how good the sandwich was. Not much to look at from the outside but inside is just what I look for in a sandwich place. Very clean with friendly staff and most importantly great food. I tried it again today and had another great sandwich. At this point I'm planning on working my way thru the entire menu which will take a bit of time with so many sandwiches to choose from. Really glad I found this place.“
“Fantastic steaks. We got 2 added NY Strips as well as 2 added Ribeyes and one Filet. They were simply amazing. The difference between these and anything you can get at a grocery store is insane. 100% never getting meat anywhere else.Also new owner is a wonderful guy.“
“The food is great, especially the split pea soup. I thought that I made the best, although they are a step above. Anne and Eduardo are amazing. Anne had me laughing so much, which I really needed today. Highly recommend. Outstanding customer service and food. My new and favorite restaurant. Thank u!“
“I love this deli! The have the best smoked polish sausages I've ever tasted. The loin bacon and the pork tenderloin, Italian and chicken headcheeses are delicacies that should not be missed. That is why I drive from Milwaukee to Mundelein almost every month!“
