Mandola's Deli

The restaurant was busy, but it was not full…read more When we arrived, the host looked around as they led us inside, appearing unsure where to seat us. We were ultimately shown to a table directly in front of the kitchen. As we sat there, I gradually began to notice some troubling things. Another Asian group was seated at a table next to one of the kitchen entrances. Later, when they finished their meal and left, another Asian family was seated at the same table. In addition, a Black family was seated next to another kitchen exit. A woman in that group asked to be moved to a different table. The food itself was very good, and the server who took care of us was pleasant and kind. My concern was specifically with the way the host assigned tables. Seeing this seating pattern repeated even though other tables were available made me strongly feel that race was influencing the seating decisions. I found the experience very upsetting. Of course, it is up to the restaurant to decide how it will assign tables in the future. I would be glad if this experience prompted the restaurant to recognize the issue and make changes. On the other hand, if nothing changes, I will consider this to be part of the restaurant's character. I am leaving this review to share what I personally saw and experienced.

You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing.

They offered an assortment of goods and items that are great for gifts and for your own home. I can always find something of interest in the store. I also love that they tend to carry items that are a little more boutique and local which makes it fun to browse. A lot of people visit for the barbecue. If I recall, when they first were serving BBQ it was a smaller, more limited time and they've since extended those hours. When visiting there is plenty of street parking in the area. They have expanded the seating inside since when they first opened which is nice for those not looking to takeaway food. Food & Drink - 4.25* The counter for ordering is in the back. I definitely recommend getting an assortment or a plate. Sausage and brisket are both solid. The sides are good too. I did notice the quality maybe dipped a little as the hours expanded, but it's still a very good option to some of the nearby establishments down the road or over in the North Main area that tend to have giant queues. When I was working downtown we'd swing over here quickly for a lunch. Feel free to grab anything to drink from the coolers as well if it catches your interest. Service - 5* Solid. We've spoken directly with the owners when visiting and it's evident they care deeply about their store, their customers, and the community. Definitely support your local businesses!! Cost - 4.5* Always subjective. I think for what they offer, how clean and well organized the shop is, it shows. They keep prices approachable. Overall - 4.5* Personally, I think it's a great balance of quality, convenience, and an assortment of goods that make it interesting.

From the family that built a deli. From the deli that became a restaurant. From a restaurant that spawned an empire. Welcome to the place that started it all - Mandola's Deli. If you want a great meal, affordable, delicious, and with real Italian flare, this is the deli for you. Daily served is the spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread (all you can eat, drink sold separately) and sometimes, well, heck, that's all you need. Try their meatball subs, try their olives, try their desserts - whatever is on hand that day, you never know with Frank Mandola and his family. I will grant my bias is heavy - I have Frank on the cell phone, and many of his relatives are related to my best friend of fifteen years, so yes... I love the Mandola family and their generational span of chefs. Check out the April issue of Houston's ICON magazine to find one of the Mandolas at the helm as head chef for the Ragin Cajun restaurant. So, step back in time to a simpler Houston place - the place that started the family business. Often, you will see the patriarch Mandola with his son Frank - he'll greet you at the door and often will bus your table (be courteous, he's old, bus your own darn table) wearing his signature Fedora hat - a man who never left his generation when you ALWAYS dressed up. They cater, as well, and they do a great job, and are very reasonably priced. Get their specials, but watch the hours of operation, they're tricky and change with the University of Houston semester - but like Frank says, "Call the store, if we say we're closed, we may be open and just prepping catering and we'll let you in the back to come eat - just call!" Enjoy the food and the walk down memory lane as you peruse the wall of Houston history. As a pasta cook myself, I do also shop for my large gallons of olive oil here and other associated Italian cooking ingredients. Now THAT's AMORE!!! read more

I ordered a turkey deluxe sandwich, which was fairly standard and nothing extraordinary. However, the reason I'm giving this place two stars is the overall ambiance and customer service. When I walked in, it felt as though everyone paused to look at me. While I tried to brush it off, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. The older woman who took my order wasn't rude, but she didn't seem particularly friendly either. When I asked the cashier about an item with chocolate chips, he simply pointed to the sign without offering any explanation. I handed him my card directly, but when he returned it, he placed it on the counter instead of back into my hand. I thought it might've been an isolated instance, but it happened again when he handed me my bag -- he placed it down just inches away from my extended hand. The overall experience gave off an uncomfortable and dismissive vibe, almost as if I wasn't welcome there. While I did see one Black woman working, the level of respect and courtesy I experienced was lacking. The food may have been average, but the service and atmosphere made it unlikely that I'll return. read more

I've noticed this cute little place and fell in love with the atmosphere of a small countryside restaurant somewhere in Italy. Attractive smell of food made to stop here. We ordered lasagna and some drinks. Our main dish was incredibly flavorful and tender, juice tomato sauce was so good. The ingredients where combined perfectly, and had balance. The waiter was nice and polite. When we finished, where impressed to get such a low bill. It'' a pretty place, where you can enjoy delicious food and save your money. Can't wait to return. read more

I also ordered a gyro/egg/feta breakfast taco ($3.88) since I've never heard of such a combination. I ended up liking it more than the conventional potato, egg, and cheese.

The muffuletta was made to order and took less than 5 minutes. It was served warm and was SO GOOD! Layers of meaty, salty goodness accented by the brininess of the pickles and olives. I easily finished half the sandwich for lunch and will likely have the other half for dinner haha. Their whole muffuletta is the priciest sandwich on the menu, but could probably reasonably feed 2. Angelo'z also offers rotating daily sandwich combos-- order the sandwich of the day and get chips and a drink for $10. Chip selection includes Lay's, Zapp's, and Kettle. If you're in a rush, many of their popular sandwiches it seems, are available to be grabbed from the case. Also in the case are a variety of sides, like deviled eggs or pasta salad... cookies and cake for dessert, too! COVID safety: all employees wearing masks and hand sanitizer available. Some seating inside available. Next time I'm craving a sub sandwich, I'll be sure to be back!

Been on my radar for awhile. I wanted a poboy but going to New Orleans wasn't economically sound…read more With the generally positive reviews, I decided to stop at Angelo'z after a dentist appointment. The inside definitely has a Cajun feel to it with the decor; very Louisiana. I was greeted and made the 4th quarter decision to get a muffuleta, chips and a canned pop. My order came quickly and I was on my way. The sandwich itself was BIG. Loved the olive salad. The cuts of meat were quality. Prices are reasonable Loved it. Worth the visit if you can.
