Nice family-friendly atmosphere with good food. Come here with my wife and a couple friend with their son. Easy place to bring a toddler since it's pretty loud inside to begin with. Came for brunch on a Sunday morning. Only sharing a review and photo of what I had since I didn't get a chance to try others' food. I had the breakfast burrito and it was good, but I was a little disappointed in the portion size especially for $16. It's hard to justify paying this much for a small burrito when it's something I can easily make at home. The service was also a little disappointing. It was busy, and the waitress was nice, but it was a little difficult to get a refill on coffee and water. I got her attention once but otherwise she didn't come by our table again for refills read more

Recently I have been getting takeout from this spot, rather than eating in. It's lovely. The takeout is in metal containers, which keep it warmer and are easy to save for another meal. My faves: banana walnut pancakes, latkes, pickle plate, tuna on pumpernickel. Also the prices are reasonable, and the parking is easy. read more

So so so noisy. Tables too close & patrons on phone-shouting rather than normal conversation. Not just one or two /loudness & excess through-out. It is clean & waitress is professional-but overall experience totally negative due to setting. Omelette-fine. No great menu item either way. Suggest owner re-configure seating & figure out noise-system. It truly is an omg. I do Not recommend read more

I came on a rainy Monday around lunchtime. Tables were scarce but we got one towards the front. The menu range was impressive. There was a lot on the menu that I wanted to try! I landed on the latkes with salmon and toasted challah. The latkes' texture was great, and the salmon was good, though not too plentiful. I didn't love the toasted challah, but it was ok. Service was friendly and welcoming, everything was clean, and value for the money was as expected. read more

Pedestrian Jewish deli with an adequate rep. I had a Rueden and my wife satisfied a decades old dream of her next Chopped liver Sandwich. They were good and considering we are from a Jewish Deli Desert of WNC. read more

It has been a few years since I've been to Zaftigs. Is it under new management? The only thing that tasted good was the knish. The blintzes were just okay--flavorless strawberries; the Reuben was cold in the center and the bread didn't seem grilled at all. Very little cheese and dressing and flavorless corned beef. The chopped liver was barely edible it was so salty. And the liver was wet. Yuck. Why was the liver wet? Even the Bloody Mary was bad--just really peppery. What a huge disappointment for the whole family. read more

Did not know there was a zaftigs other than Brookline. Reuban on gluten free bread? Yes. Delicious juicy Bacon cheeseburger? Yes. I wasnt feeling the knishes and the french fries are the weird crunchy coated kind which i dont like. That said the huge menu, great service and zaftigs quality will lure us back over and over. read more

Soooo many delicious options- the byo sandwiches and breakfast all day choices are dwarfed by sneaking in some amazing specials. They have a stuffed French toast with banana and fresh berries that are enormousl. The strawberries are large and full of flavor, even in winter. Thick buttermilk pancakes that taste delicious with real maple syrup. What of our party likes to come here for the dessert and let's fix it, there's just nothing wrong with dessert, especially $2 cookies and a whole list of other snacks that are affordable for a family to share. The deli meat in the sand Wings is what she would expect from a New York deli. A nice thick heap on fresh bread. There is also date and a strawberry butter served. So many fresh and creative options that you can never go wrong. For drinks, there is the egg cream to the Z-mosa (mimosa plus pineapple and more? Heck yah!) Additionally, there's all kinds of fun and unique art on the walls in a very fresh style with lots of layers and imagery to look at from Mass artist Danny O. Bring your I- spy game on! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Even though there are lots of restaurants in the area, this is a place we always go. Leslie, this place has some of the nicest staff, and he will always receive a thank you of appreciation for being here. They want you to be here they want to serve you, and they love their work. Bonus challenge, find at at least two pieces of art that have Thomas the Tank Engine in them. read more

I love this place but if you get takeout ask to have the pickles placed in a different container or completely skip them. Our Reuben was completely soggy on one side. Which is never good. This is not the first time this has happened. I can't really understand why the pickle is put in a plastic bag with extra juice. Is it impossible to just add the pickle on the side without the extra juice. Soggy bread is the worst. Really gross. Please stop putting the pickles in bags that leak all over the bottom of the to go container. There has got to be a better way. read more

Huge fan of Zaftigs! Their half sour pickles are my absolute favorite, and it is a great spot for a meal any time of day. I thoroughly enjoy the corned beef hash, and the patty melt is juicy and delicious. The staff are always pleasant when we visit, there's plenty of parking, and the restaurant maintains its charm each time we visit! read more

Nice interior. Maybe I ordered wrong, but food tasted kinda bland. My 4 year old nephew loved his kid's pancakes though.

The vibe in here is awesome!!! The staff were so wonderful, attentive and kind. And the food? Nothing short of spectacular! Stopped in for lunch one Saturday and we will surely be back!!! The breakfast sandwich was delicious, the knish was so so good, and the corned beef on their house made bread the best I have had in a while! I can't recommend the dessert they were packages and sadly missed the mark...But overall a 9.5 outta 10! read more

Thrilled to find true, quality deli food here and n Metro West! Came in once for the matzoh ball soup to go -- delicious though I was surprised that there were only two smallish balls in the two-person serving. That was a Saturday morning, and it was mobbed, and I knew I had to return on a weekday. Came back on a Thursday lunch, was able to get a table for 3 right away. And here was just what I'd been hoping for. My grilled pastrami with Swiss was perfect. Excellent proportions of meat, cheese, and mustard with just enough butter in the grilled outside to require a napkin but not a mess. Large crisp pickle, delicious creamy potato salad. Bottomless unsweetened iced tea. My companions had the Reuben and the potato latkes and loved them. Service was very nice. Food a little slow to appear but we had our beverages. I liked the nods to the traditional deli decor even though we were in a suburban mall atmosphere. Can't wait to come back for more. read more

Went to this place while visiting family in Framingham. Real authentic Jewish Deli with very friendly wait staff and really good food. Matzo ball soup was delicious! And I split a sandwich with my son. read more

I ordered a corned beef sandwich on light rye with mustard for pickup. When I got home, there was at least one third LESS corned beef than the last time I got a sandwich here. Also, there was only a dollop of mustard on each slice of bread so I had to add my own mustard. read more

Breakfast was yummy!!! Got the Zaftigs Combo, eggs with corned beef hash, eggs with country ham, and a side blueberry pancakes. read more

Incredibly solid meal. Came here when JM was 45 minute wait. Manager gave extra care for table allergy.

First visit, 3 of us enjoyed our corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. Each comes with a pickle and a side. The fries were excellent, the potato salad was bland. Nice fresh bread, pleasant server. Bathrooms can be an issue (3 single seaters, creates a wait at lunch time) read more

The club sandwiches might be a little pricy but the side of the sandwich is well worth it! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere feels like a cozy diner. Don't forget to get an order of the bagel chips and cream cheese! read more

It seems like a cozy family friendly diner. We tried the potato pancake, knishes, corned beef hash, challah french toast, matza brei, eggs empire, and coffee. It was a lot for two of us! The wait staff is very friendly. Cozy location! They will refill your coffees. I would recommend to try this diner and return. There is plenty of parking. read more

They have good pastrami. What the world need now - is more pastrami The service was spot on. I just hate strip malls - but for these guys - willing to overlook it. read more

I can't hear on a random Saturday afternoon when we decided we didn't want sushi. Haven't been here in quite a while. It hasn't changed. And that's a good thing. The paragraph Happys coffee was nice and hot, I water bath class, constantly field as needed. We got knishes. One meat one potato. Flavorful and wonderful, I'll be at a little on the small side for me. But very light and not. We both ordered Reuben sandwiches. I got mine with coleslaw. He got his with fries. Again, super flavorful just the right size and I don't even know how to explain that they didn't taste heavy? Even the coleslaw was light and airy. The waitress gave us a little surprise bit of potato salad, cause hubby had mentioned he liked it, but didn't order it. Her name is Julie . She's a true gem for the company. We will definitely be back as soon as we can. read more

Stopped in during holidays Ordered matzo ball chicken soup as best around in my book. Added extra ball Monte Cristo sandwich was good. Pickle always good, potato salad done if best around . My issues was service... Waitress seemed preoccupied talking loudly or deafening yelling across counter in front of me... Wasn't an ambiance filled lunch... She didn't give me silverware set up until asked, Then Monte Cristo comes with cranberry side vs maple syrup? Had to wait til she got done talking with other waitress about issue of employees touching personal property and management issues?? Then adjective for maple syrup Then image usage cellphone in front of me talking to family member of what to pick up and arguing over what donut flavors? WTF at this point... I'll write off as bad day or pre holiday preparations for the holiday function the next day I heard... the kitchen guy was told to put aside some memosas for the waitress as she was going stop back in for the party . I can't argue about food Service I can ignore ad was amusing to see ; hope other patrons less tolerant than I will endure. Charging 2 bucks for what was a nice past treat of stale bagel chips ... petty and should go back to free as minimal if any cost to slice up stale bagels rather than dumping ... wad's competition differential and help appease customers to munch on for slow service during busy times read more

The weather here was awful so I decided to order using Uber eats. I ordered a cold Corned Beef Sandwich on Dark Rye with Chips. It comes with a half sour pickle. I also ordered their herbed cream cheese with bagel chips. The food was delivered in record time and the driver was great. The food was packaged properly. I've also eaten at the restaurant many, many times. There is small counter seating and then ample table seating like a cafeteria with some booths. I will say the tables are very close together. The food is delicious not overly big like some delis. I realize everything has gotten expensive but for $19.00, I was expecting more than 6oz. If you want anything on it like onion, cheese etc it's extra. The better surprise was the bagel chips with herbed cream cheese for $5.00 delish and a bargain! The menu is extensive with lots of Jewish offerings. read more

Sunday morning, lazy day, why not go get some potato pancakes? Seated rather quickly, but the place was already jumping. Pictures on the wall of famous people. Loud conversations. Fried crispy potato pancakes, side of chicken sausage. Hot coffee! So good! Love coming here. So many choices! read more

After a trip to Boston, lunch at Zaftigs in Natick on the way home sounded good. In a strip mall, Zafigs is a Kosher style deli. There are both booths & tables . Interior is nice, clean and comfortable. Service was good. We ordered deli sandwiches - corned beef & pastrami. Lots of meat and served with fried & a half sour pickle. When we asked for more spicy mustard, server brought it over quickly. Price was decent - compared to a deli that we go to in Vernon Connecticut, it was pretty reasonable and the sandwiches were bigger. Perhaps more competition in the Boston area keeps the prices lower. read more

Frequent visitor here. Great brunch option The zaftig combo is the perfect sampler of their more traditional items I love the smoked fish plate - so fresh For sandwiches - anything with pastrami is highly recommended Omelettes are huge - you can't go wrong! read more

I had brunch here with a couple of friends last week and the service was pretty good and the restaurant had a diner/brunch ambience. A lot of diner decor and retro vintage decorations after the food. I thought the chicken and pancakes was decent, but it could've been seasoned up much more specifically the chicken. There were two chicken cutlets on top of the pancake, which were crispy and had a nice breading but no seasoning. The pancakes, however, were very fluffy and a huge serving. I was content with the pancakes, especially after putting maple syrup and the fruit chutney on it. It satisfied my pancake cravings. My friend got the blueberry pancakes and eggs Benedict, which they were pretty content with. Overall, our server was very attentive and answered questions about the food as well as recommendations. I would give this place a four out of five for overall experience with the food. It's not the best or top brunch spot foods I've had. read more

Open faced turkey sandwich is a huge let down. Basic salty deli turkey, gummy and rubbery, overly salted mashed potatoes and uneventful dry stuffing. Honestly stove top is better. Minuscule amount of cranberry. Never again read more

Amazing food and service, one of my favorite lunch spots!! The chicken Caesar wrap is a scrumptious classic and I love their sodas!

Allow me to set the scene: Me, hungry and about to be very HANGRY if I didn't get a small-but-delicious something to eat at 11:50am before a meeting. I expected a great little snack of some sort - I didn't even care if it was sweet or savory - and asked what kind of cookie one jar was? Bored-looking girl behind the counter (April 13th at 11:50) told me it was sugar, and kind of stared at me after that. Not sure why, it isn't as if I was going to reach up, grab the entire jar of sugar cookies and run out the door. Decided to get one since I wasn't up for a chocolate chip cookie on an empty stomach, she tossed it in a plastic bag and said nothing during the entire transaction. Once I got back in my car, I took a big bite expecting some kind of deliciousness and all I got was...... a mouthful of cookie that tasted as if someone forgot to add enough sugar and vanilla!! So much for a snack, and at that point I became quite HANGRY! read more

Food is great here in person, however their delivery menu is very limited. Several things that are on their regular menu is not offered on the delivery menu. I couldn't get an iced coffee or orange juice which are both on their regular menu. I also couldn't get the breakfast burrito without bacon because "no modifications on the weekend" not being able to request this with "no bacon" is especially surprising for a Jewish centered restaurant. I understand this place is successful and already pretty busy, especially on weekends. So maybe they think it's not worth their time to offer these choices. I know for me personally, these limits would make me consider ordering elsewhere and I'm sure other people feel the same. I feel like they would get more orders and make more profit if they offered their full menu, especially since they already offer these things in person. When a business makes choices that lowers profit and customers then it seems like an issue with management. read more

Absolutely terrible. Something very very crunchy stone like in the corned beef sandwich and the corned beef was not very good either and a hair in the potato salad was the last straw. Not going back Ever. read more

I've been eating at Zaftigs for years. My favorite things to get are 1. the grilled banana bread - always start with that 2. The rough rider omelette - corned beef 3. The reuben sandwich I never go wrong with those. They used to give bagel chips when you were seated but doesn't look like they still do. That's too bad. Service is friendly and quick. Restaurant isn't much to look at but nothing bad enough to take a star away. read more
