I have been going to this place since I was a little kid. They always sold mexican candy for the cheapest price. And then as I got older I began to order their buroski? Not sure if that is how you spell it. But its a closed bun and inside of it is beef and cheese. Almost like a cheeseburger instead the bun is like a jelly donut and instead of the jelly is broken down beef in cheese. So good!! This place is BIG with Polynesians & Pacific Islanders mainly for their fresh Kale sipi/moa & manioke or rice. Their curry lamb & curry chicken is made freshly & they have their own mango otai. Me & my family moved out of the neighborhood but still come here when we can because I kid you not, there is no other place in the bay area where they make curry lamb/chicken fresh out in the ISLAND STYLE. Theres a huge difference how Pacific Islanders make it & how Indians make it. The place itself is not large. They have about 5 tables that sit about 2 ppl and they have a table outside for those that wanna eat outside. You can def dine in but if youre a large group you might take up the whole venue. I usually order and go. Little history, this place has been in the Shoreview neighborhood for 32-35 years. It is owned by a fijian couple. The man was named Harry and his wife. Harry unfortunately passed away and his wife & one of his sons are holding it down. One of the local small businesses that are still going to this day. read more

Chicken curry and Lamb curry is good but I had take away 3 stars for the bug I found in my food. If I didn't put my food on a paper plate I probably wouldn't have noticed it. 09/27/23 We came and ordered a total of 5 plates, 4 plates of lamb curry with manioke and my plate was chicken curry over rice. The lamb curry plates were bug free, it was just my chicken curry. I definitely won't be coming back. read more

Got roast beef sandwich a couple times. They use real sourdough which is kind of a big deal.

Harry's Shoreview Deli - Sipi curry - Delis Near Me - San Mateo, California

Fantastic sandwiches and great customer service. You get your money's worth for sure which is not common these days.

I knew that they would make me a sandwich that was way better than Subway and they did in fact it tasted so good that I'm going back as a regular customer I can recommend Harry's deli to anybody because the food is delicious the people are absolutely lovely and everything is reasonably priced. When I went in and got my purchase I was the only one there and I thought that was odd because it's a great place and it it should have a waiting line like the other places but it didn't and that kind of surprised me because this sandwich was so good I haven't had a sandwich this good in a long time.... I have posted Harry's by 10 and get the 11th one for free.. if you ate out regularly then this is a good deal read more

Harry's Shoreview Deli - Harry's coupon - Delis Near Me - San Mateo, California

Probably the most average tasting sandwich I've had in some time. Pretty decent sized for $6.00 and you get free chips. regular lays or sour cream and onion. TANGENT: I watched an old lady get pissed because they were trying to offer her free chips and they kept pushing the chips closer to her passively but she wasn't having it. I also saw a drunk guy come in, order one regular coors ( sub tangent: I have never drank regular coors or seen sometone drink reg coors in some time so that was wild) and talk to the owner. He could barely stand up. Probably not gonna be back. Not the worst sandwich place, just nothing special . read more

Curry is great and huge portion!!! They have lamb curry and chicken curry. Both are delicious but the lamb curry is my favorite.

I have been coming here since I was younger and nothing has changed! They definitely have Everything you want and need! Thank you for the delicious curry! read more

Harry's Shoreview Deli - Kale Moa (chicken curry) - Delis Near Me - San Mateo, California

The kale sipi and manioke is always delicious and consistent. Highly recommend!!! The recipients who I assume are the owners are also very kind and friendly. 5 stars all around read more

So I usually call on the weekends to order Roti or Puri and usually they are too busy to make it. Today I called and asked to place an order for 10 rotis for the next day. Surprisingly, she said "why don't you ask someone else to make them" and hung up. Lmao what? This is not Fiji where you can speak to customers like that. 1 star for being rude and expired snacks (Bongo and Twisties)! read more

The 1 star reviews are despicable. Save that crap for big chain establishments or high end restaurants that ruin your food. No way in hell this place deserves a 1 star rating ever. read more

Delicious Kale and Manioke Definitely recommend! Family owned businesses for the win!

I love the vibe of this place. You walk in the door seeing a sign of them being in business years. A nice old American place where you can get a nice glass soda pop, a nice turkey and cheddar sandwich and a nice.....lamb curry??? Wait hold on, Lamb Curry?? This is why I love this place. It totally breaks the stereotypical view on what we think is "American". This is the beauty of Harry's Deli and keeps me coming back. Oh yeah and also I'm almost to my free sandwich so I'll definitely be back. What's good here: Curry Roast beef on Dutch Crunch Crab Meat in Dutch Crunch read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The quality of your sandwich really depends on the person making it. I try to avoid the larger latin woman. She skimps you on meat than drenches the sandwich in mayo. I paid for bacon and the lady only put one slice! One slice for an extra dollar? She's also not the most friendly. When I have the good fortune of coming in when the tall black man is working the deli I always get a sandwich. He's really nice and always gives the right amount of meat cheeses and sauce. He's always in a good mood which is nice to see read more

we ordered 2 plates & 2 otai and told them we'll be there 30 min. Got to the place and the lady said they gave our food away. who does that? I will never order from here again. If I could give one star I would! read more

I'm sick and feel like absolute crap, took an uber toward this area to rent a van/truck but plans changed. Since I was hungry I walked around looking for something good to eat. I'm familiar with the shopping center and have been for years but never ate here and decided to check for a place with good Yelp reviews...... I ordered' Harry's Special (chicken breast with garlic sauce), I took an uber to work and as I get to work I start putting some hot sauce and spices on the sandwich (GOOD THING I DID THIS) and on the very last piece of bread I find a HAIR. I've worked in the food industry before so I know stuff like this can happen and people can make it up too but I was disgusted and called them they said they would refund it if I bring it back...which unfortunately my uber ride cost more than the sandwich. Maybe I just got very unlucky but hair in food is one of the nastiest things for me to experience. I'm just so glad I didn't take a bite before I saw it. read more

A ton of freshly made, big sandwiches all for around $5. They even have kebabs and veggie options. Very small and limited seating -- it's better if you take it to go. They have a frequent purchaser card where if you buy 10, the 11th is free. My only complaint is that the Dutch Crunch rolls are sometimes a little hard. read more

I found it to be more of a convenience store that happened to sell sandwiches but since I was there for weird desserts, this is a review for that. They have this awesome sign of old school Good Humor ice cream treats such as: Sprinkle Sandwich, The Magnum, King Cone, and tons of other obscure stuff I don't remember. Quite an eclectic selection of other things too but I stuck with my standard paleta but will have to return for some of these other wacky items read more

The best place in town for chicken curry (kale moa) or lamb curry (kale sipi). They also have a selection of sandwiches for the right prices, and the owners Harry and Cindy are wonderful people too. Please check out their shop you won't regret it! read more

The sandwiches are tasty and the portions are big. Sometimes I can eat only half of one. My only complaint is that some of the chips and snacks are outdated or getting near to it. The owners are really sweet and always friendly. read more

Had their Larry Special on Dutch Crunch ($6.75), a big sloppy sandwich of a thick formed chicken breast with a garlic sauce that will leave you ready to face vampires or ward off unwanted attention from your office-mates. The taste was actually very good but the sandwich slid apart, making it harder to eat. It didn't help that the Dutch crunch bun was more like day old, so the overall experience was good but could have been better. I need to compliment the sweet and friendly service I got when I went in, along with a frequent diner card that gives the owner a free 10th sandwich. So I definitely will try some of their other sandwiches, most of which are under $7, and give updates. read more

Family owned businesses are my favorite. Harry and his wife are the main reason why I keep coming here. My family lives a block away and my grandpa was a regular customer for his years. When he past away, they came to my house with flowers. I will always support this store:) read more

When I hungry and lazy to cook I call and order me a plate. The kale sipi is fresh and made to order. The manioke that it comes with is fresh as well. It's about $17 for a full size plate which I think is a bit much. Nevertheless i still come and order,lol read more

Wonderful costumer service food is amazing lamb curry yummy loved this place and the couple that owns it always kind and out going

This place is the real deal!! If you're looking for good authentic curry (island style) this is the best place in my opinion. The owners of the place a some of the nicest people you'll ever meet they make you feel like you're a guest at there house when you walk in. The chicken and lamb curry both are 5 star worthy. Make sure you get some ROTI when you're there. It makes everything even better. Highly recommended. read more

Unfortunately not a viable deli. Very slow service, old, tired, no choice of rolls, poor quality veggies and meats for the price, I regretted walking in the place as soon as i placed my order. I ordered the combo with cheese for $10 and it was below average. Save yourself money ad get better at Subway read more

Small Family Owned Deli. The Place looks Old but The Sandwiches Are Really Good. It Reminds Me of Da Good Ol Days.

I always get a friendly face at Harry's. They make my sandwich fast and EXACTLY as I request it.

Best lamb curry!! But went there 2 days ago and they where closed been trying to call and only answering machine. I hope they don't close permanently. Will go there again later to check I'll update after read more

Don't let the name fool you. This may have been " Harry's Deli " at one point, but it is more than just a deli. The owners are Indians from Fiji. If you have any culture at all you know that Indians from Fiji are a unique people. I won't go into the anthropological impact of their existence, this is about food. Yes you can get sandwiches here, but it is ALL ABOUT THE poori and curries they have. They will serve up the bomb goat or lamb curry, or tin fish curry. The other's are self explanatory but the tin fish curry is canned fish which they stew and make into a curry, "AWESOME" make sure to order a bunch of poori before hand ( soft bread thicker and more oily than naan bread) so if you are looking out for carbs fo'get bout' it. Yes they are very nice when you come in. If you are from Fiji, or Tonga or Poly, they sell bongo snacks you bongo, and other snack brands usually found in the poly islands. Mangi solwara !!! read more

I felt like I stepped into a dingy time warp but I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. I was right to. One bite into that sandwich and I was converted. It was nearly immaculate. Loved every bite. Can't judge a book by its cover. I wish they had better snacks though, everything was odd to me. But maybe they'll grow on me. Worth it. read more
