A friend and I ordered the Hot Pastrami and The Monster and split them so we could try half of each. The Hot Pastrami was good and well balanced, an easy choice if you're not sure what else to get, but The Monster was my favorite. Loaded with Cajun turkey, roast beef, avocado, jalapeños, honey mustard and Cajun mayo, there was a lot of flavor packed into every bite. The dark sweet bread pulled everything together and added a nice contrast to the savory fillings. It definitely lived up to the name! The place has a casual, old-school neighborhood deli feel that fits the food perfectly. The portions were generous, and service was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu. read more

I passed by this restaurant a few days ago and decided to drop in for a quick sandwich to do. It was my first time here. I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich. It was very good. I prefer pastrami on rye with no lettuce but this sandwich was very good and a very filling meal. The staff were very friendly. I had a few questions and they were very patient. Pricing was what I would expect to pay for such a good sandwich. For the reason I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Baba's Deli Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Torrance, California

So this gem of a sandwich shop popped up on my social media. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich so I saved the post. I went back to it a day later and didn't even realize that it was close to where I live, so I decided to stop by on my way home. Late afternoon 4/20/26. I never noticed it because you can't really spot it street side. The entrance is on the other side of the building and a bit hidden. Anyhow, I found it ok. Walked in, was greeted promptly and found the place to be nice and clean! Steve greeted me and asked how he could help. I was getting a few sandwiches, one of which Steve recommended (Hot pastrami). I also ordered the club sandwich on sweet wheat and the veggie sandwich on a French roll. This place doesn't miss! My family were happy with their club and veggie sandwiches. My hot pastrami sandwich was amazing as well. The portions, presentation, and quality ingredients were on point. Service is quick and friendly. Pricing is fair. I highly recommend this place! They use Boars Head deli meats! I'll be back! read more

Baba's Deli Subs - Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Torrance, California

Recently tried a new deli I had been seeing on Instagram -- Baba's Deli NY Style Subs, located on Pacific Coast Highway just west of Hawthorne Blvd in the south end of Torrance. They offer a wide variety of subs, with both preset combinations and a build-your-own option. In addition to sandwiches, they also have homemade salads like tuna and chicken, along with classic sides such as potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw. My wife and I ordered a couple of different sandwiches to try. First up was the Reuben, which can be made with either pastrami or corned beef. They were accommodating and split it for us with half of each -- a nice touch. They use Boar's Head products, so you're getting premium-quality meats and cheeses. The Reuben was served on squaw bread (by request) and loaded with a generous portion of meat, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. The meat was almost shaved and incredibly tender. The only minor downside was that it leaned slightly dry -- a bit more dressing or mustard would have brought everything together better. Still, a strong 10/10. Next was the Italian sub, which was also well put together with generous portions of meat and cheese, plus lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Very solid. We also ordered a medium potato salad. It was good, though more average compared to the sandwiches. The staff was very friendly and willing to assist with your order, then bring your order to your table . Unfortunately seating is limited inside. Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'd return to. read more

I got a custom sandwich and my wife got the Monster. We went on a week day and at lunch, a rush came in right at noon so we were lucky to get ahead of everyone. This place picks up and for good reason. The ingredients were fresh and I really enjoyed mine. My wife said the Monster tasted a bit too sweet, but she can see how people would like it. It just wasn't her style and she'll probably try something else next time. Also, the lady who took out orders was nice and their service was fast. I see why they had a really solid Yelp score and next time we're feeling like deli sandwiches, we'll be back. read more

Really good sandwiches with lots of selections! The service was also very good and very friendly. My favorite was the monster sandwich which was super packed with protein. I also tried the pastrami but that one was just okay - definitely would recommend the monster over that one! Note that there is minimal seating and parking :) read more

Babas is a fine it's nothing spectacular and it's just above getting the job done. Monster is probably the best sandwich, followed by Pastrami and Times Square. Ng is a bad sub though sorry y'all. Bad bad not bad good. League average honey mustard. Bad combo. Way too sweet when it's honey turkey and honey ham, flavor profile too light. Inconsistent if you look at other pics. Good roll though. Italian also too much bologna. Fixins need an upgrade to be elite. Particularly sauces, cucumbers and pickles. Pickles are pathetic, go get the crispy good ones. read more

Why you see is what you get. Straight forward no frills NY deli vibe in SoCal. Service was lovely. She was very through in taking my order. Sandwich's were very straightforward. Ruben with pastrami was delicious- I personally prefer the filling to the edge of the bread. Italian Sub- very classic flavors and oh so messy. NG Sub- overall classic sandwiches vibes, could use some seasoning- no need for cucumbers without a bit of salt. Monster Special was probably my favorite and the most flavorful. Potato salad- I don't think the person who came up with this recipe loves potato salad. It could use some love. Sodas and chips available in the lobby. read more

Baba's is an asset to the community! Tucked away on PCH this is a solid sandwich shop with Boars Head everything-- high quality meats, cheeses, and even other ingredients! It's a nice local spot that's an alternative to Jersey Mike's or other sub sandwich chain shops. The sandwiches are big and packed with ingredients and the workers are incredibly kind and friendly. This has become my go-to for sandwiches and ever since I found out about it, I've heard about it many times from other local families as being the best sandwich shop in town. read more

Stopped in for a quick sandwich and was pleasantly surprised to see they offer lettuce wraps for a $1 extra. I did a build-your-own and got a turkey lettuce wrap and it hit the spot: super fresh, great flavor, and I love that they even have low-sodium deli meat as an option. They don't skimp on the ingredients either. Ended up paying about $12 for my lettuce-wrap turkey "sandwich". So good. Wish this place was closer to me because I'd be here way too often. read more

I discovered this deli a few months ago, so ordered a Monster sandwich with squaw bread. It was huge and delicious. The veggies in the sandwich were very fresh too. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of parking in the back. I will be a regular customer now. Love this place. Lately, I've been ordering the hot pastrami sub, which is delicious. It is now my go-to takeout order. I always ask for everything on the sub, including jalapeños! It's awesome. I also just tried their cole slaw and it was great. read more

Throwing a party? Baba's for the win! My wife and I hosted a work lunch and we called Baba's Deli to see if they could accommodate a last minute large order. They did and everyone loved their sandwiches! Someone recommended buying a party box from a chain sandwich shop but once you see what the other place's sandwiches look like, they can't compare. For under $200, we were able to feed around 20 people with chips! So grateful to Baba's for not only their fantastic food but also their amazing service! read more

The best deli experience you'll receive in the area for three simple reasons. Cost: You'll receive the most food and the most flavor for your dollar spent. They pack the sandwiches with more meat and substance than any other Deli in the area. Taste: A full sandwich doesn't make a good sandwich, but this place does it right. Some of their sandwiches have the most gentle tastes of spicy or sweet; and some both! It's such a unique taste that you won't find in many other places. I've tried several of their sandwiches and haven't been disappointed by one of them. "The Monster" is our top pick, and the BBQ Beef with added Jalapeños is my second favorite. Service: The staff is very kind and warming. You feel welcomed from your first visit and every visit there after. It makes the experience much more than just grabbing a sandwich. The inside is small and cozy with quiet relaxing vibes. Any one of the 3 positives above is a reason to visit. So why not go somewhere that will provide you with all 3? read more

I relied on Yelp to find a deli in the South Bay Area, and based on all the great reviews I decided to check out Baba's. I went with the Monster, cajun turkey meat, roast beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, jalapeños, avocado, honey mustard and cajun mayo on dark sweet wheat bread. I substituted the American cheese with pepper jack, and instead of the dark sweet wheat bread I went with a French roll, and no onions. Baba's uses premium Boars Head meats. The sandwich was loaded with meat and a perfect ratio of toppings. Loved it. I called in my order, and it was ready when I arrived. I'd definitely go back to try the other sandwiches on the menu. The place is very clean, and service was attentive and friendly. There's parking in back of the deli. read more

Torrance Food Crawl #432 Baba's Deli Subs has only been open a few months and has quickly become my favorite sandwich restaurant in Torrance. There are nine basic sandwiches on the menu; however, you can also 'build your own sandwich' to get the exact sandwich with the exact ingredients you want. If you haven't been here before, I recommend that you first try Baba's Deli #1. It's an excellent introduction to what they offer, perhaps with some nice features you don't get at other sandwich shops. The sandwich includes turkey, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, onion, pickles, honey mustard, and mayo, on a sweet dark wheat bread. Everything comes together perfectly! Of course, there are other sandwiches, different variations of subs, and I've not had a bad one. The sandwiches are on the large side, so if you're starving, one sandwich will fill you up, or you can put aside the other half for later in the day (or split it with someone). If you, or someone in your party, is not in the mood for a sandwich, there are several different salads to choose from, but I'll be honest and admit that given a choice between a sandwich and a salad, a sandwich wins every time in my book. While most of their business is take-out, there are a few tables inside if you want to sit down. The owners have always been very polite and very willing to change up a sandwich if you need to make a minor change. Sometimes, there is a debate in my mind about whether or not I should give Yelp's highest rating to a restaurant. In this case, there is no debate, this is an easy five. read more

So we had a job in the area and thought about a sandwich. Found this place by chance and sure did make a good choice. We see suckers for a good sandwich. We ordered the monster and Italian sub and bit was it a lot of food. We didn't get to finish it, but it was definitely delicious. I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Freshly sliced meats and fresh breads are what made the sandwich, but the condiments and vegetables really brought the freshness through. They were indeed delicious. Made to order and quickly too. This spot provides excellent customer service in a very clean and well represented store. We definitely will be back and recommend you try it. Sorry we didn't take pictures, we were hungry and got right to it. Next time! read more

At long last, a sandwich place in Torrance that I can frequent! I'm a huge fan of sandwiches, and it's been really hard to find a reliable place to go. Mama Says just doesn't do it for me, New York Deli went WAY down in quality, and Board & Brew is fine, but it's not something I seek out. And now that Jersey Mike's has sold out to Blackstone private equity (https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/food/jersey-mikes-subs-sale), I have already seen the quality decline and cost cutting in effect. Another chain going down the drain, along with Subway and Togo's. I found Baba's a few months ago, saw the positive reviews, and took a risk. I've never looked back. It's a no-frills location, with only seating for about 6-10 people. But this was meant to be a take-out place, so they focus on the food inventory and freshness. The sandwiches are surprisingly affordable, mostly between $11-14. Compared to Jersey Mike's, it's about the same price for a higher quality sandwich, and they LOAD IT UP with meat and toppings. I go here about 3-4 times a month, have tried almost every sandwich, and it never disappoints. It's a bit hard to find at first, but it's worth the discovery. The ingredients are high quality and fresh, the owner is very friendly, and they always try to accommodate little requests. For example, I wanted to buy a sandwich for that day, and save one for the next day, which I wrote in the notes. They all of the meat, cheese, and lettuce on, but separately wrapped the tomatoes, pickles, onions, and gave me mustard and mayo packets to keep the bread dry overnight. The dark sweet bread is excellent, but it doesn't go with everything. It's soft and sweet, so there are some sandwiches that call for a really nice sourdough, or a crusty french roll, but definitely try out the dark sweet bread! read more
