Elijah's Restaurant, Delicatessen and Catering

"The longtime Jewish deli, restaurant, and bakery is adept at catering large parties, offering a smoked fish brunch for up to 10 people and trays of pastries and cookies along with a dine-in and takeout menu full of traditional Passover dishes like matzo ball soup and gefilte fish." - Candice Woo

"There’s a considerable overlap between European Jewish cuisine and that of Eastern Europe. So at Elijah’s, a Jewish and Kosher restaurant and deli, diners can feast on beef tongue, cabbage rolls, liver, and borscht. (There’s also a massive breakfast menu with American fare like pancakes and omlettes — and blintzes.)" - Roxana Popescu

"Simsim’s corner space at 7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. takes over a 2,100-square-foot former employment office, close to ... the New York-style dishes of Elijah’s." - Susan Stapleton
