Very friendly! Amal was at the register! Got the flat ground beef bread. Pretty good flavor but needed way more vegetables or a dip. read more

We were around Haight Street, and decided to come by and swing into the liquor store for water. It smelled really good and we asked the two ladies what was that great aroma smell. I tried sfeha which is an Arabic food. The food is really good. We decided to order four of them and we were really full so come and check them out. They are very nice and friendly. read more

I was looking online where to find the best chicken noodle soup and they led me to this Deli Shop at Haight Ashbury. Met Amal and she was the sweetest person ever and she made my Pastrami sandwich herself. I ask for her recommendations and I ended up getting the sandwich, the popular, chicken noodle soup and a lasagna. Chicken noodle soup was really good and I never had it like that and it was very interesting combinations of herbs and spices. I 100% recommend visiting this Deli shop, if you're looking for any snack that you can think of, you can probably get it from here. Really neat place, great selection and people are so friendly. read more

The guy that owns this joint is super cool and nice. He's very friendly and cracks a lot of jokes. He has this big momma breakfast sandwich that's to die for. And most of his candy is imported from around the world so It's super cool trying different things. Definitely recommend. read more

This review is for the chicken soup. Unfortunately it was not as great as others have mentioned on their review. I went there today and purchased a large chicken noodle soup because my husband and I both sick and just wanted something cozy. When I receive the soup from the deli counter, there was an odd detergent bleach smell. By the time I got home, I figure the inside of the soup was probably safe and the bleach smell was probably from the outside of the lid however, when I tasted the soup, there was a very strong lemon scent with lots of herb, unfortunately it was so sour that I felt the soup was in edible. I have a hard time believing that this soup is one of the best chicken soup. In my opinion, it's really one of the worst chicken soup I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, we had to dump it down the drain. My husband also couldn't get pass that detergent smell. It really was that bad. I was completely misled by the positive rating by some of the yelpers for this chicken noodle soup. The store itself was great though. It is well located on hairy street. They had a lot of unique European products that cannot be found at many stores. I thought the owner was friendly and helpful. I really dont want to leave this bad review but the soup was awlful and I cannot recommend their chicken noodle soup. read more

I come here almost every day for breakfast before work. Their breakfast sandwiches are super good and the secret is to order one with a hash brown. For lunch the sandwiches and shwarma are very good and affordable. Drinks and food selection is very nice too with some imports of unique items. read more

Amal's is one of the most welcoming places in haight. Her lentil soup and chicken noodle soup are both so comforting and feel like home.

Wine selection is AMAZING, snacks are from all over the world. Every person who works there is good vibes. Love Amal!

This neighborhood place simply rocks. Nice ambiance with Large selection of all the convenience store essentials with the bonus of delicious freshly prepared food. Service is fantastic: always friendly and happy to help. And better yet, all the scratcher tickets your heart could desire. read more

Amal's Deli seems like a corner store, but it's a mediterranean corner store. They have some food items like a corner store and also a fresh deli with mediterranean and american food snacks and bigger dishes. They had 2 grape leaves for $1, a corn dog at $1-2, and a pork eggroll for $1-2 so I paid like $5 for this bunch of fun food. You will not find 2 grape leaves at $1 at many places. They have some other food items that are mediterranean, pizza, gyro, chicken sandwich, and sausage, etc. It's neat and fast. They had a computer screen to click on, but I paid cash this time. I feel like bummy with a $5 bill these days. Also, it's named after George Clooney's wife and it's Lebanese. wink. read more

Love mom shes the sweetest. Mamas breakfast sandwich is a must try ! Work on the street so its a daily stop for me

The laham bajane (meat pies) are delicious. Very nice and hospitable staff. The yogurt drink is also very good and refreshing.

My sisters and I were in the neighborhood getting tattooed next door at Rose Gold's a few weeks ago and popped into Amal's for a snack. The ladies behind the counter suggested we get the manakish and it was LEGIT ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER EATEN. We went back and ordered five more. Amal was so welcoming and made us feel at home. The market has great stuff - fresh food, quality products, even a giant rack of Haribo from all over the world. The snacks are top notch and they know their clientele in that neighborhood Stop in and let "Mama" Amal make you lunch, you'll be happy you did! read more

This is a delivery review; in store may be better. I saw 5-star ratings and 1 dollar sign on Grubhub and I got excited! Unfortunately, it was probably a little premature. The gyro at $8.50 isn't super cheap, but it also isn't a great deal because the gyros aren't huge and they aren't super tasty, either. The best part of my order was the mac and cheese, actually, which comes with bacon. The pork roll at $1.50 seems like a good deal but it is just one pork roll, and it's pretty mediocre. Looking at the pictures people have posted, I'm kind of sad that they don't have the full menu on Grubhub; there are a lot of really tasty looking things. Maybe I'll stop by the physical location sometime to check them out. read more

Transporting ambiance, exceptional service, and authentic food define this Lebanese deli.

Where do I even begin to describe the awesomeness of moms!! This place is a Haight street staple with the best staff, best food and best selection. It's always such a pleasure walking into moms and knowing I'm going to leave with the biggest smile feeling loved They really take the time to get to know people if you're open and friendly!!! They also sell the coolest local art! Could not recommend this place enough!! Go check it out for yourself!! read more

Best late night eats in the city. The manoushe at 2 am hits different! The cheese and the zaatar are great

Really great food, friendly service! Definitely the best place to stop on Haight after walking around and getting hungry. They also have a whole convenience store attached for any drinks or general needs which is nice. Amal is one of the nicest people you will meet, and I cannot wait to go again! read more

Food is amazing! Staff is the best! Everyone loves mom! Good vibes all around here! Mom makes haight feel like a true family

Can't explain how awesome this place is. All employees incredibly friendly, amazing open late deli, and burack is the best.

LOVE this deli. Amal makes the best warm sandwiches and manakish, all the quick bites are clutch when you're walking on haight st and don't have time to sit and dine. My personal favorite was the manakish and spinach fatayer read more

Just had Postmates deliver my midnight snack, chicken noodle soup and a chicken cheeseburger. The soup has a strong flavor, which would be amazing if it suited my palette, but the chicken texture kind of makes up for this. The chicken cheeseburger isn't good, from the "bun" to the (omg! wtf!) chicken, which almost tastes like mashed up and stuck back together fried fish or something. read more

wow. The chicken noodle soup is amazing. It's got so much flavor... by dunking bread into the soup I got to extend the life of it. The lemony, garlic, ginger, and other spices work so well and the spiraled pasta is just an amazing add. It's better than my grandmas. Seriously. Check it out. read more

Amal's Deli has been my corner bodega in the Haight for 9 years now, and has sustained my revolving need for beverages, snacks, and late-night cheap dinners over the years with warmth and a neighborhood vibe that's sometimes hard to come across in SF. So I was very happy when Mama (one of the owners, and such a kind, lovely presence on Haight St.!) finally was able to open the deli portion of the store. Mama is a gem of a person, but holy god can that woman cook. I just had what is easily the BEST homemade chocolate chip cookie of my life (I know my chocolate chip cookies, people), and what can only be described as a life-restoring, epic chicken noodle soup. Everything is fresh and homemade and more delicious than you'd ever expect from a small little corner bodega. Mama is always kind to everyone who comes in, works so hard, and leaves you feeling cared-for with a home-cooked meal and her ever-present warmth. 100% recommend, go support this amazing woman and her business! Mama for President! read more

Best chicken noodle soup I have ever had - please don't tell my mom I said that - the flavor is out of this world and I cannot give it higher regards - go get it. You will not be disappointed it's the absolute truth read more
