In light of Rosh Hashanah, we were looking for Jewish places to eat and came across Schmaltz Deli…read more We never knew there was a Jewish deli in the area and boy were we missing out. As soon as we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables available as well as a traditional deli counter. They also have a drive thru! You can choose to order at the counter or be seated with a more traditional restaurant-like service. Our waiter was young but very professional and provided great recommendations. To start, they bring a complimentary bowl of bagel chips (a unique twist and a great way to repurpose old bagels). For my meal, I had a half American sandwich with a bowl of matzo ball soup. It was simple but delicious. On our way out, we stopped at the deli and ordered a few rugelach. They tasted so fresh! My favorite was the apricot flavor. Definitely hope to be back real soon to support such a great spot! Shana Tova!

It's not like they're selling Bulgari jewelry or begula caviar but bring lots of cold cash to shop here because you'll need it. If you're retired or have a big family, you just might have to take out a second mortgage to stock the frig and your food pantry shopping at Carpathia, no lie. I know we've had inflation but some of their prices and the small portion sizes go well beyond that. But if you're willing to blow your paycheck on a good Polish sausage, you've arrived at the right deli but the food is very good, if you can afford it.

This shop is a combination of a small general store and a restaurant. It fits in with the rest of…read morethe buildings on the Crown Point Square. The restaurant cuisine could be described as two parts American, one part Greek. I have tried many foods from their menu, and I would say that the restaurant owner has developed a good understanding of what makes foods taste good over the years. The gyros sandwich is their specialty. And rightly so: I have to say that it is the best gyros that I have ever eaten anywhere in all my years. No one else seems to have perfected it as well as they have. I've always thought of this as the perfect restaurant to take a girl out on a date, and after seven years, my opinion remains unchanged. I've never found any better. The size and ambiance are just about right for that. It is also a good place for a family dinner and has an excellent little ice cream parlor as well. Finally, it is possible to save a trip to the local store by eating there, as it has a good variety of canned foods, candy, soda, cheeses, and meats for sale in its deli section.

We were coming from our hotel, which was close to Michigan Avenue so decided to do a pick up order and place that online through their website. They made it really easy and I was able to fulfill what everyone wanted through the various breakfast bagel sandwiches that they offered. When we showed up to the deli, everything was already ready and there are a few tables so we decided to just eat there to make it easier on the kids. We also decided to just get coffee there instead of trying to find another shop and the lattes that we got were both delicious. This place was super cute and exactly what we were looking for before heading to the zoo. It was not very busy at the time that we went, which was around 9am. Would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!

There's a few tables inside but we took our sandwiches to go. I did order a specific sandwich and ended up being given a caprese sandwich instead (which I did not have them correct as I was in a rush). That being said, it was a delicious caprese sandwich all things considered and I'm not a picky person so I was fine to roll with the punches. Would come back and try some other things if I was in the area.

The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

Place the order at one end of the counter and you pick it all the way on the end. They take the sandwich in back to finish it. I ordered a corned beef on an onion roll. While I waited they have a nice selection of baked goods. Cookies, bread and desserts!! The decor is eclectic with nice nods to delis. I received my sandwich and ate outside, because the indoor dining area was full. My sandwich was really good, I would like a little extra mustard next time. The meat was tender and flavorful. The pickles they give you are top notch.

This is a Serbian owned business as one can easily distinguish just by looking around. The owner is from the Vojvodina region of Serbia and has put together a fabulous store. I love cevapcici! I tried Euro Market's and they are very good. They are sold here frozen and in a few varieties. I prefer mine made with some lamb, so I chose those. Serve with diced fresh onions and the Serbian style bread. I also loved red peppers in a jar, sold here and they are excellent. A full case of smoked meats and Hungarian salami, the best. All kinds of variety and interesting finds from Eastern Europe. Items from Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Russia, Turkey. Stop in and explore and try some of the unique delectable treasures found at Euro Market. Highly Recommended! Great Find!

They have a good selection of Greek olive oils in the big 3 gallon square metal containers (101oz) most of them under $30. You cannot beat that price. Also they carry all sorts of Feta cheeses including sheep feta, Bulgarian Feta, kashkaval and other E.European cheeses. As far as meats they carry all sorts of dried salamis including Hungarian, Romanian such as Sibiu, Polish kabanos sausage and many other dried or smoked meats some that I've never seen before. Lots of canned stuff as well, if you're into making stuffed cabbage they have a good variety of canned cabbage and grape leaves. I'm Romanian but I grew up with a variety of products I mentioned above from all over that region. The service: I would've given them 5 stars, the only reason I took a star away is because of the service, the girl at the counter seemed to be mostly clueless when I asked her to give me some information about a few products. Her English was horrific but that's fine it didn't bother me. Also I think we've gotten used to deal with bigger businesses where they train their employees to behave courteously, she was on the phone yelling in Serbian a good part of the time when I asked her a few questions she talked to me like I was there kind of bugging her phone conversation which I didn't think was very professional. Overall don't let that stop you from visiting this place, if you grew up in the Balkans region or E.Europe in general you will find something that will bring back memories for sure.
