The dining area has about 13 tables but there's always a line for take out. I ordered the Stuffed Pita w grilled chicken and sauteed onions and mushrooms. It was like comfort food to the next level. The sandwich was decent size and tasted delicious. My only complaint is the pita broke too easily but still tasted good. Kenny, who owns Deli King is always greeting me with a smile. He runs a nice place and I will definitely come back!

I grew up in Brooklyn surrounded by this style of deli and they are quickly becoming harder and harder to find, so I was happy to check it out. The exterior of the deli is a bit deceptive. From the outside it almost looks like it's a hole in the wall, but when you walk in you realize there is an entire dining area with plenty of tables and chairs to the right, with the deli counter on the left. Behind the counter is a large fridge unit with the bold logo of my favorite cold cut brand: Boar's Head (there's a sign in the window too). That is one surefire way to get my business. There were a couple customers ahead of me but boy, they move quick here! They were quickly taken care of and I put my order in: turkey and swiss with tomato and mayo on whole wheat bread. Yeah, it's not the most exciting sandwich in the world but it's one I enjoy. I also snagged a couple drinks from the drink fridge across from the counter. I took this order to go. About fifteen minutes later I was munching on the sandwich and it was perfect. It held together well (sandwich structural integrity is very important in my book) and everything tasted fresh. There was a good amount of meat and cheese and I appreciated that. I was very happy with my first experience at The Gourmet Deli and I look forward to going back!

This time, the food was ok (relatively mediocre), but i cannot return because we found a mouse under the kids' seats after finishing dinner.

We thought they were joking or making it up bc they're young and tend to play make believe but then after my daughter confirmed she wasn't making it up, I looked under with my phone flashlight. Lo and behold, a little mouse chomping away at a trap. Which means they know about the problem.

I'm not sure why 'Yelp' reviews are so bad for this place. Google reviews are much better and in my opinion more accurate, based on what we had. Great ambience! Reminds me a little bit of Rails in Towaco. Both places really 'cool.' Anyway, we started with the Shrimp spring rolls, which were hot, crispy and tasty. After asking our server "what's good on the menu", we both opted for the Yellow fin tuna tacos. Nicely seared tuna on a crispy taco shell, with avocado, cilantro, cabbage, shaved carrot, radish, jalapeno, sriracha-lime aioli. Pretty yummy choice. What was really amazing was the flowerless chocolate cake coffee with salted caramel ice cream and hot fudge drizzled over it. Wow! SOOOO good! Not a huge dessert, but just enough. I have to add that the wine pours were very fair, which doesn't always happen. The servers and the whole staff were very friendly and courteous, so we look forward to driving around again and maybe ending up in Westfield.

No way this could be three eggs. Overall, I would say this is a pretty good place to have dinner or lunch. I just think it's very high priced of restaurant in Westfield. I'm giving you three stars because of the hair situation but remainder of the food was adequate.
