Stopped by a got: - Roast Beef Melt Sandwich: Wow this was amazing. From the tender beef with a salty-tangy taste, to the piping hot cheese bread, and everything in between, this was deli sandwich perfection. - Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich: Great smoked meat, but was also vibrantly refreshing with all the veggies in it. - Fries: Crisped to perfection without being greasy or overly salty. Mainly a takeout spot but there are a couple of tables to dine-in. So many options - from deli sandwiches to burgers to pizza and pasta - that you'll never run out of things to try. I can see why this has been an enduring staple in the community as it truly is the best type of deli experience.

This small shop located in Leslieville serves up some great sandwiches in a space that is primarily take out only (although there are a few bar/counter spots if you'd like to eat there. They are also open daily from 11am to 9pm. Menu wise, there are 9-10 kinds of sandwiches to choose from. They are all served on a sesame kaiser roll and cut in half. You're also able to add on ingredients on top of the already selected ones in the sandwiches. Each of Lambo's Deli locations also have a special sandwich, where this time when I went, it was the crispy chicken club. They also have soft serve as well (rotating flavours!). I stopped by Lambo's Deli on a Monday morning before the lunch rush and opted to grab: - Italian trio sandwich (soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, picked red onion, arugula, pesto, Calabrian chili spread) - $18 - Soft serve (flavour was hojicha) -$5 Service was friendly and I received my soft serve while waiting for my sandwich to be prepared. It took about 5 min and it was nicely packed. Staff were great and handed me a handful of napkins as well. I ate my sandwich an hour later and before opening the packaging, the sandwich was pretty heavy! Looking at a cross section of the sandwich, it was packed with ingredients! The Italian Trio sandwich was delicious. The roasted red peppers, pickled red onion, arugula, and Calabrian chili spread added freshness to the sandwich which didn't make it feel so heavy with all the deli meats inside as well as the mozzarella cheese. The sandwiches are big and I could only finish half for lunch. Overall, a delicious sandwich shop in Leslieville. Lambo's Deli definitely packs a lot of ingredients in their sandwiches which make for a tasty meal. Be warned, the sandwiches are huge! Also...don't miss out on their soft serve too!

For the sandwiches, we got the brisket and meatball and all were pretty good. No complaints. We also ordered a pint of the black garlic miso caramel ice cream.. We had no idea how it tasted like since they weren't serving it that day for us to sample but surprisingly the black garlic and miso was very subtle, the ice cream just taste like caramel ice cream but not overly sweet. Besides the ready-to-eat options they also have a lot of local frozen goods like dumplings, empanadas, desserts and more. Great for those living in the neighbourhood to stock up their fridge. I also love that this east end location has a outdoor patio.

My instinct told me they would offer something unique! I wanted to try both poutine and sandwich, but each portion is generous and also a bit pricey side. So, my choice: AAA Flank Steak sandwich, and I was very happy! They asked how well I want the meat to be done. Medium rare. Perfectly done. Portobello, Arugula, Chimichurri, Garlic Aioli. Generous amount of meat, perfect balance with Arugula and seasonings. Loved this. Although I could not try their collection of local beers - as I was on duty - I felt their commitment to the local community - gave me a nice impression. Will come back - want to try poutine, but there are many sandwiches that I want to try. This place makes me so indecisive!

We got the AAA flank steak, classic fried chicken, and classic poutine. My favourite was the fried chicken which was crispy and juicy and the honey gave it a sweet touch. My friend's favourite was the steak sandwich because of the char flavour. The standout was definitely the poutine - the gravy was so flavourful! There are a few 4 person tables, a 2 person bar table against the window, and a small outdoor area as well.

Surprisingly, it was more than comfort food. It was delicate that made me appreciate every bite. When i opened the box, I wondered what those dark pieces of crusts were. Looked burnt but when I ate, I learned that they were a tender seal with full of pleasant consentration of spice flavors and hint of smokiness. No bitterness. Meat was super tender and juicy. I saw the sweat from the meat pieces. Perfect balance of red lean meat and fat. Beautiful cuts that preserved the meat texture, no mushiness. The fries and the gravy were great with right amount of cheese. Loved this!!!!!

Amazing sandwiches!…read more These two plates (two delicious sandwiches, potatoes, and salad) was $20!! Absolutely delicious food. Super friendly service, and while I haven't tried the coffee yet, I have tried the mortadella sandwich ($7.50) the prosciutto sandwich ($7.50) the mushroom toast sandwich plate (I think $11 or $12), and the banana bread matcha latte (honestly I was skeptical of this combination but it was surprisingly good). Go check them out for lunch or a coffee! You will not be disappointed! (Also I think they rebranded? Not sure but they are more coffee and sandwiches now whereas it looks like they did burgers before)
