    Curried chicken sandwich
    Alizul Z.

    Morts Deli is where the aroma of pastrami and dill pickles is so potent it's basically its own, very delicious, air freshener, and the soup can cure an ailment you didn't even know you had. Recently remodeled with a wall now separating it from the once attached Beas Bakery, this delicatessen has grown into its own unique space. Nice comfy booths, a deli counter showing off daily made egg salad, tuna salad, olives, cheese, juicy roast beef and fresh baked breads. We sat down and we were attended to by our hostess who brought us ice waters. We got the curried chicken sandwich on sourdough with potato salad and big pickle slices. It was well seasoned, nice soft bread, tangy mustard sauce on the side. I love that the curried chicken salad had raisins in it, which added a touch of sweetness. The potato salad was also very creamy and chunky and tangy. The pickles were so refreshing and crisp. They were a perfect contrast to the sandwich overall, with tax we paid around 29 bucks so definitely on the pricey side. My critique is that for the prices they are charging they need to be serving larger portions because the service was excellent, and the restaurant itself is very clean. A larger portion of potatoes and a bigger sandwich size!

    Chopped liver on rye with cucumber salad.

    Good place for deli favorites, safe standard options typically seen in most delis. On my first visit i decided to go for something not as commonly ordered but the reviews made it sound good. The cold sandwich chopped liver sandwich on rye bread. Now note that Ive never had a chopped liver before but i can say it was delicious and tasty! Normally i hate bread but the rye used was great cold! Our server was very attentive and active. Ambiance was not noisy for 3pm, very few customers but it was post lunch hours. Overall i would come back.

    Would have given it a much higher score if I couldn't have seen the chef eating off the grill with his fingers and then not washing his hands and preparing other foods. Coffee was good and prices were reasonable.

    Matzo ball soup
    Rebecca T.

    Came for lunch with good company. Service was attentive and friendly. I opted for a lunch combo, which came with half a pastrami sandwich and matzo ball soup. The matzo ball was MASSIVE and light and fluffy; it was really a good bang for our buck! The pastrami sandwich was okay; not the best pastrami I've had, but it did the trick to satisfy my cravings. Lunch combo was decent at $19, and overall, a solid meal while in the area

    A neighborhood Jewish deli that is still a good one! I hadn't been here for many years and it was nice to come back. Our server was excellent and took great care of us. The food quality was superb. I will definitely come back when I am in LA. The portion was large and I had enough to take home and enjoy the next day.

    5 stars just isn't enough for the experience I had a couple days ago at Mort's Deli. The menu itself is very impressive but the taste of the food was even better!!!! You can just taste the quality. Our server, Mario was super personable and kind. The manager, Don also came out and gave us a little history on the place which he just didn't have to do. Heard that I like pickle juice and brought me out a cup of pickle juice and a plate of extra pickles LOL! You just don't get this level of customer service anywhere nowadays. Back to the food... BEST pastrami rueben and pancakes I've ever had in my life! Coming back to try more of the menu and also because I throughly enjoyed my time there in all aspects as a customer. Mort's is how you do business the right way.

    Vegetable omelette
    Jamie F.

    Excellent vegetable omelette and hash browns at Morts. Was exactly what I was craving. Professional service. Loved the bagel too. Clean comfortable restaurant, recently redone. Food was so nice and hot, fresh off the grill. Lots of vegetables. Will order the juice and try the espresso next time!

    EXCELLENT Jewish deli heaven. Matzoball soup so good, buttery, perfect... Ruben so good, pastrami sandwich ... pickles.. mmm... white fish salad the best ever, very smokey. GREAT coffee too. Amazing cappuchino - (exceeded expectations). Very attentive and friendly service. Shout out to Mario - he's worked there for 47 years!

    The authentic NY deli atmosphere.
    Spencer K.

    Very solid food, very nice staff, quintisential deli atmosphere. I was surprised to learn they are owned by the Nosh of Beverly Hills, though Mort's feels more authentically "close to the ground." Blintzes: the format was wider than what one normally sees, which actually makes it easier/neater to eat, and truly delicious. (The jam on the side had chunks of berries making it a standout.) Grilled Cheese: perfect balance of butter on the grilled bread and nicely melted cheese. Flavour: excellent. Fries: very nicely done. Tuna melt: I decided to go outside the lines and got jack cheese. Very good choice. Cucumber salad as a side... dream worthy. Coffee was solid. Friendly service. Definitely worth getting off the freeway to get a bite here.

    Pastrami & Corned Beef - this is half of it.  So packed and full!

I had the steak Diane sandwich, and at the very first bite, I could not put it down. I literally finished the sandwich in 5 mins!!

For the sides tried their Cole slaw which is probably the best I've ever eaten. It had edamame in it, the slaw was a nice flavor of sweet and savory and wasn't overpowered by the mayo. I could eat the slaw with everything! Also tried their tomato soup turkey chili---sooo good!! If I didn't know better, I wouldn't have known it was turkey because it was very flavorful. Only thing I would add to make that over the top special would be to add some extra raw onions. The fish and chips sandwich was delicious!

We came during the daytime for lunch but the owner told us it gets lively at nighttime with fun music. We ordered an order of beef arais and ribeye. When you sit down, they bring over some beautiful side dishes: tahini spread, onions and lemon peel, and other pickled veggies. The onion and lemon peel were my favorite - so good! We got four pieces of arais per order and it comes with a small side salad. We also got a big cucumber salad on the side too. The arais were absolutely delicious and totally reminds me of what I had in Israel. I liked the ribeye slightly better than the beef but both were juicy and delicious. They were hot and fresh so you have to wait a bit for them to cool down and I recommend smothering them with the chimichurri and the tahini spread. They were so good!

Arais Machne Yehuda his one such place. Living up to its namesake, the Machne Yehuda market in Jerusalem, made famous, not only for its colorful stalls and sellers, but also for the outstanding food one can get at the market. But in order to pull that off, you need the perfect storm of the following ingredients: caring, sensitive, owners who treat you like a household guest. Culinary wizards who understand their ingredients and know how to make the best out of them. Appreciative crowd, who knows good food. Period. When all these come together, what you get is a touch of magic. And Arais is exactly that. A touch of magic on Ventura Boulevard. Let's talk some of the ingredients. The warm chickpeas (hummus) that came to the table, at a perfect temperature, and with just a hint of lemon, were the ABSOLUTE BEST chickpeas I had anywhere outside of Jerusalem. I don't say this lightly. Most Mediterranean, restaurants and almost all Israeli restaurants pride themselves on their chickpea preparations. There's a saying in Israel that Israel will forever argue about which chickpeas are the best, which chickpeas make the best dish, which preparation of chickpeas is better than the others. Basically Israeli's lives revolve around evaluating chickpeas. So by telling you, this was the best I've had outside of Jerusalem, what I'm really trying to say is that these weren't "good chickpeas for Tarzana", but rather some of the best anywhere in the world! And that was just the side dish! The formula is a known one. Take acidic vegetables as a side dish, mix them with rich and fatty meat dishes, where the acid of the vegetables in the pickles cuts through the richness; couple that with side dishes, where each dish adds to the overall experience; and what you get is exactly that magic that I told you about earlier on. When you mix that with knowledgeable owners and and welcoming atmosphere, what you get is a short trip to far away lands. Arais Machne Yehuda on every chord. If I have one single comment, and trust me that taking into account, the totality of the experience that was amazing, I would tell you that the pita bread that the Arais came in, was a bit salty. I let the owners know my dislike of tahini, something that has cost me relationships, and has earned me the jeers of many an Israeli; but they insisted time and time again that maybe I should try it "just this time". I explained that once every five years I do in fact, try tahini just to find out that I still don't like it, but my words fell on deaf ears. And you know what? They were right. Both the tahini and chimichurri sauces were perfect accompaniment for the rich lamb meatballs, nestled in the pitas. I was expecting a little bit more heat and the chimichurri to complement the tangy and oily taste emanating from good olive oil and chopped herbs. But alas, the heat came from the deep-fried jalapeños that I had on the side. The look on one of the owners faces when I ate six of them in a row and then proclaimed they were "mild", was priceless. Since this was my first time there, I also got fat chunks of deep fried and then roasted potatoes, a perfect accompaniment to the already rich meal. I highly recommend this Mediterranean/Israeli gem in the heart of Tarzana. If you're ever looking for Israeli food, this, my friends, is it!

When the delivery arrived, nothing in the bags was labeled, and we couldn't figure out which burger was which. My son-in-law had to bite into the burgers to identify them. There were no condiments or napkins included, and the burgers were cold and dry. Additionally, two orders of cheese fries were included that we did not order. I believe it is the restaurant's responsibility to ensure condiments and napkins are packed, to clearly label multiple items, and to ensure food is hot when it leaves the restaurant, especially since the hospital is less than a block away.
