Jewish deli staples: lox bagels, pastrami, matzah ball soup
"Boston can’t compete with New York City’s wealth of Jewish delis. And that’s OK, because at least we have this incredible Kendall Square joint. The staples like whitefish salad, chopped liver, pastrami, and lox are all excellent, and you should always prioritize some kind of carb like house-baked bread, bagels, bialys, and babka. Come here the next time you’re looking for a casual lunch spot, a breakfast to take on the go, or just want to order from a brunch menu that doesn’t have eight pages of eggs—the crispy latkes and matzah ball soup are soul-nourishing any time of day." - tanya edwards, megan zhang, dan secatore
"Mamaleh’s serves up nostalgia on a platter. This deli is known for their retro space and lox bagels, served open-faced when you dine in. They also do a great scrambled egg sandwich on a challah roll with pastrami, and whichever breakfast sandwich you get, it’s imperative to order a side of piping hot, crispy latkes as well. Mamaleh’s large dining room is great for a leisurely breakfast before thrifting at the enormous Garment District down the street." - lala thaddeus
"Bagels can be as involved or simple as you like at Mamaleh’s Delicatessen in Kendall Square. Get a plain bagel with cream cheese for a quick breakfast snack, or sit down for a relaxed feast featuring a bagel platter complete with schmear, lox, pickles, and other toppings." - Valerie Li Stack
