When in the area we do our shopping for Passover and also for general kosher foods as they have a very good inventory.

The food was catered and very tasty and fresh. A few items were unusual too but very good. I hope to try when in town in the spring. read more

Ode to a Jewish Deli Step inside, and the world changes-- the scent of fresh bagels rising like morning light, smoky pastrami piled high, corned beef tender as memory, and pickles that crunch with stories of old. This is no ordinary place-- this is tradition on a plate, clean, fresh, exceptional, where every bite tastes of home, and every corner hums with laughter and life. Matzo ball soup warms the soul, knishes hold secrets in golden folds, and rye bread carries history between its soft, fragrant layers. Here, time slows-- the deli counter becomes an altar, celebrating flavor, heritage, and joy, a place where even the simplest sandwich becomes a work of art. A true Jewish kosher deli, a sanctuary of taste, a reminder that in the world's rush, there are still places where love, care, and tradition are served daily, one extraordinary bite at a time.

I bought food at the store and it had everything I needed. I'm celiac and need food that meets my needs. It's the only place I could get certified gf for Passover and after. I was thrilled that I was able to get GF gefilte fish! read more

The good old deli! But wait, they have upped their products, service, and overall vibe of their restaurant. There are not many choices in the Kosher food industry when it comes to Denver, Colorado. Food is pricey, but it is what it is. The deli comes through when you need that eat out meal. Ambience is a deli let's be real, but the food is good. This is a 4/5 stars in deli land. Will be back, of course! read more

This is a strange place and super expensive! Chicken soup is served cold- noodles cold- matzo balls 4 small hard balls - mom would be ashamed also cold and they charged $8.99 for the balls $11.99 for the cold soup. One thin egg salad sandwich $15.00 came with a piece of wilted lettuce and a thin piece of tomato and a slice of old pickle!!!! Once home I had to cook the soup- are u kidding me. This place has some nerve. read more

Never ate at their restaurant, but I've bought at the supermarket side of their business. There's a decent selection of kosher food, the shelves are always stocked, and some good imported stuff from Israel. The premake food is pretty good too. The stuff there are nice, and helpful. The prices reflect the fact that it is the only kosher supermarket in Colorado, and it feels like they take advantage of that. read more

Darn. I was really hoping for a killer pastrami sandwich. That did not happen.Note, this was a take out order but nonetheless the pastrami was a bit dry and in my opinion too thinly sliced. Kudos to the delicious rye bread. read more

East Side Kosher Deli - Pastrami - Delis Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The matzo ball soup was delicious, but the chicken salad sandwich was inedible. I ordered pumpernickel bread and potato salad as a side. It was brought out with a sad flat wheat bread as they do not have pumpernickel and what they think is pumpernickel is not. The chicken and potato salads were so mayonnaise'd that it was gross and tasteless. Ridiculously and arbitrarily overpriced for what you get. read more

I was quite impressed with this deli! I have rarely been to a kosher deli outside the NYC area which had good food and this one certainly did! The front of the deli has a store with a large variety of groceries and meats and wine. In the back is a sit down restaurant and what looks like a small catering hall. Even if you don't adhere to the rules of kashrut, I highly recommend the restaurant! The food is wonderful and the staff are pleasant! read more

Stick to the sandwiches which are good. The steaks (prime rib, rib eye) wasn't good at all. There's a smell that is hard to describe. Also be ready to look out of place if you aren't Jewish. read more

Good food if it is a bit pricey. The staff is so friendly. I will need totty the store and deli for a full understanding.

Denver is very limited when you're looking for a kosher restaurant. This one is the best. Great customer service and a broad selection of really delicious food. I took 3 guests to dinner here on a Thursday evening. Each person ordered something different and finished with a huge slice of chocolate cake. Everything there is made in house, including the corned beef, ground beef and fresh French fries. Although it was pricey, the quality, selection, and customer service was worth it. Also, the items in the deli counter for carry out were verything you'd hope for in an authentic Kosher deli. read more

The bbq brisket was amazing. Happy to support this place. Also has a great grocery store attached

Very very expensive !! Low quality . Don't bother . The take away food is not fresh .

I got to try this place yesterday, and I thought that it was fantastic! I had a Russian combo sandwich and it was absolutely incredible- so much flavor there. I will be back as soon as I can, and when I do I will sample some of the other prepared items at the counter under the glass. Highly recommend! read more

Good service. My corned beef was passable but nothing memorable. All in all everything is kinda "meh"

Came here for lunch after a flight in from Philly and also picked up the shabbos package for 6, everything was amazing! Lunch was fantastic and our waitress was so great with our daughter (brought out her hot dog from the kids menu quickly and had her water in a paper cup with a lid, so fewer spills to worry about). The shabbos package was incredible! Everything we needed for Shabbat (including grape juice, candles and a havdalah set) and food was delicious. Portions were huge and we had so much food. We were bringing some of the food as our dinner to a wedding that didn't have kosher food and the pargiyot, bourekas, and quinoa salad were delicious. Lots of the food works well at room temp (like lo mein, shnitzel, bourekas) if you don't have a way to heat it up. But the shabbos food also comes double wrapped in foil so if you have an oven (which our Airbnb did) you can warm it up. We thought the price was very reasonable given the generous portions, good quality, and convenience of not needing to spend our vacation prepping our own food. Highly recommend, and they were so friendly (even helped carry our boxes of food to our car). We'll be back the next time we're in Colorado. read more

Ordered a sandwich today for a friend that lives up in Denver and they are having some medical issues. It was very easy to order just what she wanted and liked online and another friend who was going to go visit with them at the hospital was able to pick it up and deliver it to her for me. Though when i was ordering teh sandwich online it looked like they also offer delivery. They sent a confirmation email to me with my order and also offered follow up afterwards. I love doing Passover shopping at East Side usually as well. They have a nice selection and can always get what I need. read more

You know the out of town people who "discover" the great local restaurant? Well, apparently I'm one of those people. I just "discovered" this place. It's a deli it's a restaurant it's a grocery store. The restaurant is in the back past the deli counter. The walk past the deli counter is best done with blinders on I'm telling you don't look until you've eaten. Ok the restaurant the menu has one rare item after another. I noticed pan fried red snapper for next time. We had the Kreplach look it up if you don't know. We had a bowl brimming with noodles broth and the namesake dumplings. (No matzo ball) best in town and I've tried quite a few. Service is outstanding easy access across the street from Goodwill on Leetsdale. So take that stuff you were going to sell and give it a second life and then treat yourself to Kreplach! read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I ordered a full dinner for what would have been a lovely family dinner--instead my order arrived 25 minutes late - with many items missing and not enough to feed everyone. When I called to ask for a correction or refund they couldn't care less - they just left me on hold over and over again and were rude. Not to mention the food is just mediocre at best. Go somewhere else If you want real food and good service read more

Will be trying another deli. In the mood for a good solid Pastrami Reuben and this place just didn't cut the mustard... get it, get it... anyway. I didn't mind paying $19 for a small sandwich as long as it was good and they missed the mark. I will try the New York Deli News, I have hopes for a great sandwich. read more

I've been here many many times as my client who is orthodox, keeps kosher by having me meet him here for lunch. Obviously you can get non kosher items in the restaurant as well as shopping for many specialty items and regular groceries in the market in front. I've met my work associates Rabbi, Cantor, Neigbors etc which is quite cool and since I'm "Jewish by injection" as my Jewish mother in law would call it. I know my way around the delicious delicacies. Aka matzo ball soup with kreplach, or pastrami Rueben made with latkes instead of rye bread. Not to mention appropriate greetings and salutations. We like coming not only so he can keep kosher, but it's not far from the hotel I stay at and it's typically quiet and easy for us to spread out iPads and laptops and do biz-ness. Reasonable prices fast prompt friendly service, allowing us to simply hang out and work, checking-only to refill water or ice tea. It's not blow your mind fare, but I doubt that's the intent. It's about serving the large Jewish community with a synagogue and JCC literally around the corner. They cater they cook to order and they sell all you need to do it yourself while maintains religious requirements in a delicious way. I don't have to say I'll be back, because as long as I have this client I'm here on the regular... read more

Very expensive and mediocre tuna salad sandwich, two sandwiches were almost $40 and the lettuce with the sandwich was wilted and unappealing. Not a good experience. read more

While it seems as if there are a few here who understand the meaning of Kosher, I honestly feel as if this place is being confused by a lot of people as NY style deli. It is NOT. This is a Kosher establishment who's first priority is following the rules of Kashruth. They cater to observant Jews and despite someone repeating they feel "sorry" for observant Jews should please go back to TX. The observant Jews are perfectly happy. This is a different experience than other "jewish style deli's". Rosenbergs has three different sites and the full Kosher site is in a different location. I think people are comparing this to Rosenbergs in Stanley Market and that is simply not a fiar comparison. read more

We ordered a delivery to Vail. We called a few times to confirm. We have small children and this was something we relied on. When I called,  I was told "the food will get there when it gets there." I was then hung up on. Incredibly rude. We don't deserve to be treated like this. read more

I wasn't planning on writing a horrible review until Sergio the manager was so rude to my wife and I. Here's why we think this place NEEDS improvement: 1. We found a green bug in our food. We wanted to discreetly ask for a refund so there would be no embarrassment but Sergio managed to make a big deal out of it by ignoring me first, and yelling at my wife to get my money and get out! It was so humiliating... we come here all the time and not by choice. 2. 3. Interpersonal skills/ respect to customers is very important in the food industry. 4. They NEED to learn from other food industries like California, Florida, New York and even Las Vegas. We have a lot of potential here in Denver, it's embarrassing when people from these states come to Kosher Deli and see what we have to live with. But we have no choice and we're not planning on moving just for the kosher options, we have family and jobs here and we want to make it enjoyable. To the owner- don't respond if you're not going to change the atmosphere of your business. I hope one day East Side 'Kosher' Deli will live up to its na read more

East Side Deli is the only food establishment i have experienced where mask use seems optional. Half of those who where masks leave their noses exposed. How can management allow this. I won't return until I am vaccinated. read more

Mazol Tov to Denver for not only having a Jewish Kosher deli/restaurant, but a pretty well stocked mini Kosher supermarket. You can nosh (eat a little something) or eat like a khazer (pig) at this deli and never feel farklempt (bummed out). My friends shleped (dragged) all the way from Boulder to come to this Denver treat... So, how could I pass up the opportunity to bring my shagitz (non Jewish Male) boyfriend so that he could try good old gefilte fish? Just like my Nana used to make it...Oh, yum, nothing excites me more then ground deboned fish... just scoop it out with an ice cream scoop, plop it on a piece of butter lettuce and call it an appetizer. In my opinion, this dish is not mekhaye (particularly delicious). I am however a sucker for corned beef sandwiches on Jewish Rye bread, which is pretty darn good at this deli... Just don't try to order the sandwich with cheese, which is totally treyf (non-koshor). Don't be shy, goyims (non Jewish people) are welcome, and they won't ask you your last name as a password to get in. Strategy: Pick up a few packs of Kosher meats... One of the only places to buy it in Denver. * Star one is for being a Jewish deli in Denver in general ** Star two is for having miskayt (ugly) architecture that reminds me of a strip joint from the outside *** Star three is for supplying Kosher meats... One of the only places in Denver/Boulder to buy it **** Our last but not least, star four is for selling Israeli chocolate... Which when I was there, I bought boxes of and shipped home because I loved it so much. Star five was stripped because I found the restaurant to be not so tasty and the bakery had no black and white cookies in site. read more

Oy, bubalah, are you kvelling for some geschmacke nosh? Then have I got the place for you. The East Side Kosher Deli has been bringing pure Parve pleasure from its perch just off Leetsdale Boulevard for years now. The shop itself has Cholov Yisroel cheeses in many much-loved varieties, as well as masterful matzoh from Manischewitz (makers of everyone's favorite ceremonial wine). The crunchy Israeli snacks called Bissli (in flavors such as Smoky, Onion, and Falafel - yes, Bill O'Reilly, *that* falafel) are here too, in addition to halvah (the chocolate one's my favorite), egg noodles and gefilte fish! And their butcher case isn't just chopped liver, if you get my meaning. Then, after you've bought your goodies, head to the restaurant at the back of the store for even more fun. Perhaps a piled-high Tongue Sandwich will hit the spot... as well as a little sweet-spicy Yerushalmi Kugel, maybe? And don't forget to save room for some Cheesecake (Kosher, of course)! East Side Kosher Deli - food so good, you'll plotz. read more

The water was really good. The water at my house and office has tasted kind of weird lately. My boyfriend/fellow diner says he cannot attest to the water quality because he was not provided with a glass of water. The meal kind of went downhill from there. I think another reviewer mentioned walking in and debating walking back out. I admit I had the same reaction when we arrived. I decided to order a cup of matzoh ball soup and a brisket sandwich. The kosher Jewish deli was out of brisket though so I quickly decided on a potato knish instead. The sandwiches didn't come with sides and were $12 and up so I didn't want to pick another sandwich I wasn't super psyched on. When we arrived there was one other person in the dining room. There were about ten people total while we were there. Shortly after we sat down, a table of men arrived. They got the majority of the attention from the wait staff and manager. They seemed unhappy with the menu options. They seemed kind of rude, but I also couldn't help but think if you only have three tables out of 30 at lunch time, then maybe give these guys the chicken they want. My soup arrived. My first thought was 'this is from a can'. Not sure if it was or not but it had that look. It was hot. The matzoh ball was very dense. My knish and my boyfriend's Reuben came out next. The Reuben was quite small for a deli sandwich. When he asked if it came with sides, she said yes it comes with lettuce and tomato. Ok. I guess I'd call a piece of lettuce a garnish and not a side, but ok. The fries he ordered separately were underdone. When someone finally came over, he asked them to drop them back in the fryer for a few more minutes. Meanwhile I began eating my knish. Not even Gulden's mustard could save it. Knishes are supposed to be a flaky pastry shell stuffed with potatoes or meat or sometimes mushrooms which is disappointing. This was a very dense dough with completely unseasoned potatoes inside that were quite dry. Knishes aren't known for their crazy spice levels, but there's usually a little bit of onion grated into the potato. The fries returned. This batch was piping hot and just as underdone. I very rarely don't finish all my food, especially when all I got was a cup of soup and a knish, but I didn't even eat half of the knish. The third basket of fries was cooked an ok amount. read more

This was excellent restaurant the service was awesome.the grocery was full and fresh!! I highly recommend!!!

Kosher? Exactly what does that mean? Most of us who aren't Jewish really have no idea - - but East Side is the only Kosher deli in the greater Denver metro area. The one thing that I do know is that Kosher means that it is prepared with care and to old world standards. A friend told us about East Side. It is a little off the beaten path and in a building that obviously has seen better days. Since we were passing within a 1/2 block of East Side, and it was lunch time, we decided to drop in and pick up a couple of sandwiches from the deli. One whole roast beast & salami, one 1/2 pastrami. Were they good? Absolutely. Were they Kosher? Perhaps. But what do I know? I do know they were expensive. $21.90 for one & 1/2 sandwiches, plus 1/2 lb of potato salad. Will we go back. Yes, of course, just not too often. There are other things to try. East Side Kosher Deli includes not only a deli, but a restaurant, a grocery, a butcher shop, a bakery and a caterer. read more

I was really hoping to get a Swiss cheese sandwich on pumpernickel with coleslaw, a new dill pickle, and some Russian dressing.... I called to find out if they have new dill pickles or half sour pickles, and they said yes. What I didn't know it was that they were in a jar and they didn't serve them for sandwiches but I also didn't know they didn't make cheese sandwiches because it was a kosher deli. However, the coleslaw behind the case that they serve has dairy in it! Unfortunately I couldn't even buy pumpernickel bread. I had driven a really long way to get there, was hungry, and it bombed. It's basically a grocery store... read more

I have been a customer for 18 years as I am an observant Jew and a leader in the Jewish community. I got screamed at by Sergio on Sunday. If you have a hankering for a kosher pastrami sandwich you will be disappointed. They microwave it and cut it too thick. Unless you have to pick up a kosher item, pass this place by until it changes. They catered my hospital stay last year. It was dreck. No pride. No customer service. read more
