Good Meal at Zaftigs Delicatessen
I went to Zaftigs Delicatessen in Brookline yesterday, and honestly wasn't expecting much, as I have had rather ordinary meals at Zaftigs in the past. But this time, Zaftigs was a pleasant surprise, as the deli food we had for dinner was delicious.
We started with chicken soup with matzo balls. The soup was good, though I've had better matzo ball soup at Rubin's, which is on the same street as Zaftigs in Brookline. The bagel chips they brought us were very tasty, however. I quickly filled up on those, though I left enough room for the extra lean corned beef sandwich and kasha varnishkas, both of which were better than Rubin's, in my opinion. The hot pastrami was excellent, too.
Overall, Zaftigs Delicatessen turned out to be a good choice on a really cold night that was made for the comfort food that this Brookline deli serves. Zaftigs does not compare to the great delis of Manhattan, but not too many delis in Boston do. I'll definitely be going back to Zaftigs, probably to try their potato pancakes next time.
For those who are looking for the address of Zaftigs, here it is: Zaftigs Delicatessen, 335 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA 02446; the phone number is (617) 975-0075.
