Lower East Side Deli - Hackney

4 out of 7, 3 to go! Me and a mate have just ordered and devoured 4 of the 7 sandwiches on offer at Lower Eastside Deli. I now have a food baby that any prospective food parent would be proud of! We had the L.E.S. Ruben, Chipotle Pulled Pork, Shredded Chicken and Vegetarian Stack. All sandwiches were deep filled, extremely tasty and very satisfying. Even the veggie option. Don't get me wrong, I'll eat the occasional bit of shrubbery like the next bloke but the veggie option was that good that it's highly likely I'll eat it again. Prices seem a bit high at first glance but in reality they are in line with other similar establishments in the local area. Also, the pure size and taste of the...read more

I've tried this place a few times since it opened last week. The service last week was a bit slow as they seemed to be a bit overrun with customers, but I guess that's the nature of an opening week, this week has been much better. For lunch I've had the Pulled Pork and the Beef Short Ribs which were both epic, always a good sign when you can feel the weight, they were both packed with juicy meat and a nice crunchy apple slaw. I've also had the breakfast bagel which was also great, although not sure if I could manage more than one a week! Again just like the lunch, the bagel was heavy with chipped ham hock, fried egg (broken yolk though) and melted cheese. I'm not a coffee drinker, but...read more

I've eaten twice here and both of them are a festive one. the ham hock sandwich is the mouthwater and the tension builds up when it is boiled directly in front of the eyes. it is a nice addition to the deli’s around shoreditch with a strong focus on meaty sandwiches. and it is definitely worth waiting (it can do quite a lot around the lunchtime.) the price is also quite excellent, but every penny worth. definitiw my choice for special weekly treatment.

I've been with this deli for a week. deli has this warm, welcoming feeling with elegant interieur that guarantees to hurt. on the day of the opening I tried (my now favorites! veggie stack grilled vegetables, halloumi, capers, chilli pesto swiss cheese, all in a roasted bloomer a perfect vegetarian lunch. from the quality of the ingredients, to the friendliness of the staff, this is all they can ask for either first thing on tomorrow or midday on workday. I've been back to the Deli breakfast since my first breakfast visit in latte. make sure that deli is busy around lunch hours (I guess I know why! but that. read more

I went with some friends to lunch at 12:30, and we just found some tables to get up. I ordered the reuben a proven favorite of me. this was full of pastrami and sour herb (big) but as it was roasted, it just ended a bit too dry, but I can't put it on the ingredients, or the size mistakes. on the same visit I have tied a waffel, but unfortunately the waffels are served only until 11 o'clock. I still had great hopes for her, so I went back one morning. concerning my Belgian waffel, it was not exactly what I expected. it was more like an American waffel than a Belgian. even the filling was pleasant and I liked the crispy texture of...read more
