By cuisine
Deli and Ashkenazi classics — pastrami, braised brisket, matzo ball soup, latkes, challah and babka — cooked from scratch in our own kitchen, and labeled dish by dish.

At catering scale
A halal Jewish deli is a rare thing, and that is the point. The deli classics — peppered pastrami, smoked brisket, matzo ball soup — are almost never available halal · zabiha-sourced, so we cook them from scratch in the same kitchen as everything else: brisket cured and smoked in-house, pastrami steamed to order, soup built on a slow-simmered stock. It is a small, focused menu rather than a full delicatessen.
This is a niche line, and an honest one: it is deli cooking done properly and halal throughout — a pastrami on the table for the guest who is used to going without. For a fuller spread it sits naturally alongside our Mediterranean and American menus, cooked by the same chef-led team under one roof.
Most of what this menu is booked for comes together quickly and feeds a room that arrives across hours rather than sitting down at once — a gathering after a service, a family lunch, an office that wanted something other than another sandwich platter. It suits that work: the boards are built to be set once and hold, pastrami and brisket are as good at room temperature as they are hot, and nothing on the table needs turning or topping up to keep looking right. Everything is labeled, whatever is left is packed for the family rather than taken away, and short notice is usually workable precisely because the menu is small and we cure and smoke the meat ourselves.

Jewish Deli catering runs about $44–$85 per guest for food. Multiplied out, that is what a spread costs at the counts people usually ask about.
| Guests | Estimated food cost | Per guest |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $1,100 – $2,125 | $44 – $85 |
| 50 | $2,200 – $4,250 | $44 – $85 |
| 100 | $4,400 – $8,500 | $44 – $85 |
| 150 | $6,600 – $12,750 | $44 – $85 |
Food only. Staffing, rentals, delivery, setup and breakdown are separate lines, and a mandatory service charge and California sales tax apply on top — so the invoice for a staffed event runs meaningfully above the food figure. Smaller counts sit at the top of the band: setup and delivery cost the same at 25 guests as at 100. Every menu halal · zabiha-sourced.
