Saul's Delicatessen B+
"Jewish comfort food," as described by my Jewish lunch buddy- Saul's Deli is a bustling restaurant/deli located by Long's Drugs on North Shattuck. At the deli counter, you can get bagels, lox and whitefish salad New York style. Ask to be seated and you'll encounter a menu full of classic Jewish cuisine. Expect rye, latkes, and pickles. And lots of old, white people. I must have been the only Asian person in that restaurant, and we're talking about Berkeley, California.
I've been to Saul's a few times before and the one thing I always get and highly recommend is the Chicken in a Pot. A gourmet chicken noodle soup, Saul's version comes in a big porcelain pot. Tasty broth, herbs, celery, a chicken leg and thigh, and MOST importantly, a big matza ball. I LOVE matza balls. The soup for one will cost you $9.95, while the soup for two goes for 16.95. This is classic Jewish cuisine is a staple and must be tried. We also split a spicy fish sandwich, a special for the day. A tender sole filet, tomatoes, avocado, and basil on a french roll, all served with fries ($9.95). All meals also come with the day's pickles and bread.
Overall, Saul's is a great place to check out classic deli food and pretend you are in New York City. And it's a Berkeley staple- a must try at least once.
