One of the greatest costumer service I've ever experienced in my 25 years of living she took my order with a friendly/welcoming attitude. I asked for the names of the people whom made my sandwiches.

Sandwiches are the best! Customer service not so much. No hello, no smiles...it almost seems like they're forced to work there!

Super sweet folks working! Their customer service is awesome! Cute inside, tons of chips to grab with your sando. Sandwiches are massive! Got the bam bam and the heat seeker! Both without mods, as the deli intended. Highly recommend read more

Came for the sandwiches and left impressed. Tried the Reuben loaded with pastrami and corned beef, and it delivered on both flavor and portion size. The meat was tender, piled high, and paired perfectly with the melted cheese and tangy toppings. We also ordered the Bam Bam sandwich, stacked with pastrami, corned beef, and roast beef on Dutch crunch. The Dutch crunch added the perfect crunch, and every bite was packed with smoky, savory goodness. Between the two, I preferred the Bam Bam sandwich--it had the best balance of flavors and textures. I'd definitely come back and order this one again. If you're a deli sandwich fan, bring your appetite. These sandwiches are huge, messy, and worth it. read more

Came here during lunch time and let me tell you, you are better ordering ahead because it was busy. They have a separate line for ordering and pick up. It took us about 30 minutes or more from ordering to having our sandwiches ready. Even though it was busy, the cashiers who took our orders were nice and polite. They have a wide selection of drinks, chips, and snacks. Even have international snacks as well. The place have a couple of seating areas if you wanted to eat there which is nice to have the option. We didn't as it was packed. Now to the sandwiches, they give you a lot of meat, like generous amount which is good. Although they gave a lot of meat, they didn't give enough avocado. Tasted just like any other sandwich spot. What separates them is the meat generosity. read more

After reading all the great reviews, I made sure to pick up my sandwich on time so I'd be getting it at its freshest. Unfortunately, for $16 and some change, the sandwich was a miss. I ordered the hot pastrami with everything, pepper jack cheese, dutch crunch, and extra chipotle sauce. The pastrami didn't taste fresh and was missing that rich, savory flavor I was expecting. The quality was underwhelming and reminded me more of grocery store deli meat than a deli that's known for its sandwiches. The dutch crunch was a bit soggy and didn't have much crunch. The chipotle sauce was also disappointing--it mostly tasted like mayonnaise with very little smoky flavor or heat. The vegetables were fresh, which I appreciated, but I wasn't expecting the veggies to be the highlight of a $16 pastrami sandwich. I came in with high expectations, but this sandwich fell short in almost every way. Maybe it was an off day, but this experience didn't leave me with much reason to come back. read more

We walked in at about 4:10 on a Monday afternoon. There were several people scattered around the dining room. Some were chatting, others were apparently waiting for their orders. We noticed two self-service ordering kiosks to the right but decided to check out the menu board and salad case first. When we were done, the cashier asked if she could take our order. That's always my preference over poking buttons on a impersonal screen. We placed our order, paid, and stood aside to wait. My name was called when our order was ready. It was bagged and ready to go. We thanked the cashier and went home. Normally, I'm not a sandwich guy. Today, after working outside in the sun, I was hungry and had a craving for something filling and cold. Macaroni Salad was on my mind. I looked that up on Yelp and Bara's was reasonably close. I also saw a Shrimp Salad that looked pretty good online. When we arrived home, I proceeded to take pictures of our meal. Sigh. Instead of Macaroni Salad, we got Potato Salad. Not quite the same. A quick peek at my receipt and I saw that the wrong key must have been pressed. I should have checked my receipt after I paid. The cashier should have repeated the order before sending it. The Potato Salad didn't satisfy my craving for Macaroni Salad, but I wasn't about to drive back to exchange it. The flavor was unique though, in that it had a cheesy flavor. The Shrimp Salad was not good. Flavor wise, it was okay with a little bit of heat. But texture wise, it was a mess. If Shrimp was supposed to be cooked for two minutes and then dropped into an ice bath, these had been cooked for four minutes and not iced. They were cooked to death. I got a Bay Area Special with Swiss. It was okay. A ton of meat, not so much on the veg. I would prefer more balance. But overall, it was pretty good. She got The Gobbler. She also felt that the meat overwhelmed the veg. Additionally, the cranberry sauce was overwhelmed by the cream cheese. We came, we saw, we ate. It'll be a long while before I go after another sandwich. read more

I'm highly upset! I ordered the Cali Club and added pepperoncini's on ciabatta. Service was fast & friendly! I ate on bite of my sandwich and I was in heaven. All of the ingredients were FRESH! They are also very generous with meat. I'm wondering why no one told me to order TWO. It's seriously worth the 30min drive. read more

I'm not a deli or sandwich lover honestly. It's not the first thing I gravitate to, but I was craving a crunchy filling sandwich and Bara's had such great reviews. Parking is always tight in this plaza, but I got lucky on a Saturday afternoon. Bara's was poppin when I walked in. Ordering is quick, the menu is extensive, but the man taking my order was so patient. I went with their Bara's combo special with all the fixin's and had to get their dutch crutch. I love that you can choose the bread, and the Bara's combo is great since you can choose your meat/proteins. Turkey and roast beef were juicy and flavorful. Plus their meats are all halal! Every single ingredient was fresh and high quality. The flavors were unmatched. And the bread was perfectly airy and crunchy, without scraping my entire roof of my mouth. It's embarassing I used to get Ike's when there's sandwich spots like Bara's. They have a whole drinks section, chips, and an open deli display case. There's tons of inside seating, great for coworkers, families, or solo dining. No outdoor seating unfortunately. Most of the waiting time is after you order, so allot a solid 15mins, even if you're just waiting for your one order. Bara's is also Palestinian-owned. So not only are you getting a delicious, HUGE portion'd, but fresh meal, you are also knowingly pouring your hard earned money and labor into supporting a local family-owned business. Everything we do has a footprint, including the businesses you choose to support and eat at. Go forth Bara's! read more

Came in today to order a sandwich was greeted by I believe the owner first time their asked for recommendations he gave me a recommendation of the chipotle chicken sandwich which had amazing taste wasn't soggy like most hot sandwiches are. And the sandwich was put together nicely and wasn't sloppy. Food and service were a 10/10. Not like most sandwich shops you walk into and are filthy dirty this place you tell that cleanliness is a priority to them. Super clean and amazing service definitely will be back!! read more

The Reuben at Bara's Deli with pastrami is a must try! It has a great portion of meat and the sauerkraut and Swiss is tasty inside as well. The rye bread is aesthetic and delicious as well as seen in the pics. My sandwich was ready in less than 10 minutes after ordering and they were relatively packed. Quick service and a yummy Sammy. You can't go wrong. My friend had a macadamia nut cookie. She said it was okay. She said the nuts inside it were tasty. I feel it was little small for 4 dollars. read more

Bara's Deli has hands down some of the best sandwiches around. My go-to order is the Bara's Combo because you get two meat options. I usually choose the peppermill turkey and Italian dry salami on Dutch crunch bread, and it never disappoints. The sandwiches are always fresh, filling, and made just right. I definitely recommend ordering online because it can get busy, and this makes things much faster. Inside, it's very clean and welcoming. They have tables where you can sit, relax, and enjoy your lunch, which is a nice touch. They also offer a good variety of chips, beverages, desserts, and sides, but honestly, I usually stick to the sandwiches because they're that good. My husband actually introduced me to this place, and he really loves it too. If you're looking for a solid, high-quality sandwich, Bara's Deli is absolutely worth it. read more

I haven't eaten here in a couple decades. Decided to go here today with my children. It's changed a lot since my last visit the restaurant is really clean, organized, and has a very welcoming feel to it All of their refrigerators are stocked with so many different beverage choices. It's amazing. I chose the pastrami Reuben and my kids got the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich. The Reuben was fantastic. The sauce was great. The sauerkraut was fresh and everything was perfect. I'm glad that the bread was not soggy. My kids love the grilled cheese sandwich sandwiches it was cheese heaven One thing that really made me emotional about this visit is that they have a sandwich dedicated to a good friend of ours who passed away some years ago who was a San Leandro local by the name of Keagan. They have his favorite sandwich in immortalized as an item on the manual and that brought it here to my eye. This is definitely a down home local spot, all of us San Leandro natives know how good this place is and what a gem it is Everybody there is friendly and makes you feel welcome read more

Hands down one of the best sandwich shops in the east Bay Area, if not THE best. They're dense with so much meat, sauce, veggies and what not. I've had a few sandwiches from Baras and they never disappoint. I also love that their interior has chips of all flavors, whatever size bag you want too! Oh, and their drink choices are anything from sparkling water to bottled sodas I don't see - unless I'm at a store. So it's nice that they offer a variety of drinks & chips to go with the amazing sandwiches. The employees are nice & you can tell they're hardworking especially during a rush hour, cause I'm sure this place gets busy. I've only ever gone when it's a bit calmer, but they're still busting out sandwiches for online orders and people in the shop. Always fast service & fresh Sammie's. I can't say I have a favorite sandwich since they're all really good, but you'll need to try for yourself. read more

Delicious, massive sandwiches. My husband's favorite food is sandwiches and that's what he wanted for his birthday meal, so we dropped by shortly after noon on a Tuesday. It was really busy from the time we walked in to the time we left. There are a handful of tables inside, but most people were taking their food to-go. Most of the tables were open by the time we ordered and went to sit down. This is a full service deli: multiple fridges, a large assortment of chips, multiple salads and antipastos, and of course, a huge variety of meats, breads, and toppings for sandwiches. You can either build your own sandwich or choose from one of the many house specialities. My husband got The Vatican (prosciutto, Genoa salami, soppressata with burrata cheese, garlic aioli, pesto, roasted red peppers, oil & balsamic vinegar on a sourdough roll), and I got the Cajun Salsalito Turkey (Cajun salsa turkey with jalapeño havarti with your selection of bread and toppings). These sandwiches aren't playing around -- they're huge and stuffed with ingredients. We ate these before going on a walk around Lake Chabot and even after miles of walking, I was still full. They're absolutely delicious. And despite the constant rush of both in-person and online orders, our food came out fast and was made to order. Staff were nice people, too. If you haven't had Bara's yet, it's worth the trip. Treat yourself. read more

I love a good sandwich and this place hit the spot! It was busy Friday lunch for them, but they were able to pump out sandwiches pretty quickly. Waited maybe 10 min for them to make it. They have so many good options on their menu, but opted for a build your own sandwich of mortadella and jalapeño havarti on a soft roll with the works. First off, their garlic mayo sauce is BOMB, totally completed the sandwich. They also have soooooo many chip and drink options, you're bound to find something you like. PSA: make sure you grab your chips and drink BEFORE you order at the counter. They'll need to scan everything together to check you out. read more

I live very close by and have never been let down by this spot, great service. read more

Stopped by Bara's on my lunch break for an easy meal yesterday. They have a very large selection of sandwiches, chips, drinks, and some sides as well. For the amount of food that you get, the pricing is great! You order/pay at the counter. You can either choose to customize your own sandwich or choose one of their recommended combinations! I ordered The Gobbler ($12). I love a thanksgiving themed sandwich, so I always order it if it's an option. It came with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turkey, cream cheese, and cranberry sauce. I also asked for a side of pepperonchini so I could have a piece with every bite. I also ordered a small side of pesto pasta with artichokes ($4.50) and got a zero sugar Monster energy ($2.95). My whole meal was about $22 including tip/tax). The sandwich itself was filling, fresh, and huge! It ended up being two meals for me. The cream cheese wasn't super noticeable to me, but maybe it was overpowered by the pepperonchinis I kept eating. The pasta was a bit bland for my taste but it came with a decent amount for a small. I think it just needed a sprinkle of Parmesan, salt, or even hot sauce and it would've been perfect. It was a mid-size sandwich shop that offered high top tables by the window and normal tables throughout. Even with the windows around almost the whole restaurant, it still felt pretty dark inside to me. I noticed that they offer some fun important drinks/chips that I would usually only see at Asian markets! That was definitely a unique offering for a sandwich shop. Next time I make it over here, I'm thinking about trying one of their paninis. Overall a solid place to grab a bite. read more

Definitely a hidden gem in San Leandro and one of the best sandwich spots in the area. I love that you can order online for pick up, it helps beat the line! They also have a variety of chips and drinks available. I really like the Bay Area special on Dutch crunch, add some pepperoncini and pickles and call it a day! But don't get me wrong, all of the sandwiches are hella good! Staff is always friendly when I come, and the inside is always clean. Def check it out if you're in the area! read more

From knowledgeable staff willing to help at every step, to the selection of additional products (drinks and chips) to the fresh bread and amazing sandwich- this place is hard to top! Stopped here real fast to grab lunch while at work and was not disappointed. Fresh bread. Fresh veggies. Right amount of cheese. Generous meat. Neatly packaged. Great staff. All things that make for a great deli! So many times we see things on yelp or online and take that chance to try them and end up disappointed- but this was NOT the case! If you're here on yelp and are scrolling by to see if this is your next lunch spot, take this as your sign that it absolutely is. This is my new favorite spot in SL! read more

I visited for the first time today and had mixed feelings. On one hand, the sandwich was delicious and well-made. On the other hand, the customer service was incredibly disappointing. Even after I told him it was my first time there, the employee made me feel like an inconvenience rather than a welcomed guest. The food is good, but the cold attitude leaves a bad taste in your mouth. read more

Attended a meeting in the area. First time lunch order. Ordered for pickup. Quick order notification. Picked up at a strip mall. Strip mall parking lot had sketchy characters. Bara's Deli did not have a clear pick up area sign. Lined up then went to cashier to notify lunch pickup. Picked up at a busy time. Workers looked stressed. Ordered one Heat Seeker. Missing tomatoes and pickles. Missing ice water and extra napkins. Worker handed my pickup order to me hastily. Paid over $27 for the one sandwich with missing items. Disappointed. Not sure if I'll be back even if I have meetings in the area. read more

There are two things that gets your attention right away when you come here. Number one it looks like a sandwich shop and number two it smells like a sandwich shop. You smell the meats, bread, dry herbs and cheeses. Real cheese smells like cheese. Let me tell you these guys are spot on. The service is fast compared to the number of people who line up, so you want to try to come early lunch time. By 12:45pm there will be a line. read more

I wish there was 1/2 scores bc this place would be a 3.5. I didn't want to do a 4, it's too generous. Sandwich sizes are big. You can't choose your own size sandwich, or have it in a bowl, and some of us just don't eat bread. We arrived about 11 am not to busy inside but the take out orders were overflowing. Took a selfie at the selfie station, and ordered our food. Husband got the Italian combo, and I took the Cali turkey club. We both had mushy tomatoes on ours and it soured the taste. Other than that my husband loved his sandwich and the sides were fantastic, potato salad and olives! My turkey was dry, avocado was brown, and I was definitely underwhelmed.. From all the hype this place gets I really wanted to love it, but I think it's a 1 and done for me. read more

We were wanting to eat at a sandwich place and saw this pop up on our feed. This is located in San Lorenzo and they have a decent amount of private parking shared with others. We decided to try it out. Was not disappointed. The staff was friendly. Was not busy so there was plenty of inside tables to sit at. Many choices of drinks by the wall frigs. Plenty of different sandwich choices and choices of chips. The prices though seem pretty high but good quality meat. Would come back again if in the area. [93R,2025] read more

They are not serving halal meat. I asked the manager and they did told me. Sandwich was good. Prices are decent.

We were looking for a sandwich / takeout spot around the East Bay on Yelp, and landed on Bara's Deli. I liked the variety they had when I was initially looking at the menu, but I think it came to be one of those places that were good, but not great IMO. We ordered online and our order was ready by the time we arrived (~20 minutes). It was pretty empty for a Saturday morning, so we were in and out in as soon as we picked up our order. I ordered the Michelangelo (prosciutto and Italian salami, mozzarella cheese, basil, tomatoes, pepperoncini, oil & vinegar, and garlic aioli spread on a soft roll). They're GENEROUS with the portions here which I appreciated! Half of a sandwich ended up getting me full. For the sandwich itself, it was pretty well-made; I just wasn't a fan of how salty the prosciutto and salami tasted. I'd probably opt for a different sandwich in the future. I also tried the Heat Seeker and thought it was also just okay. read more

We recently returned to San Leandro, the city where I grew up, and my sister insisted we try this spot because my husband is a total sandwich fanatic. It's tucked away in a small strip mall--truly a hidden gem that I'm guessing mostly locals know about. I went with the classic Italian, and he ordered the Bay Area Special. Both were incredibly flavorful, loaded with plenty of high-quality meat, and just overall hearty and satisfying--big, hefty sandwiches that really hit the spot. They have a great selection of chips and drinks to pair with your meal, and the service was super friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

I highly recommend getting a sandwich if you have a flight as well, it passes through TSA and the staff was nice enough to allow me to put the sandwich in a to-go box! read more

Food was really good no complaints, service was really quick and very friendly.
