Loved the matzo ball soup and the celery seed soda. The malach was good (Yemeni bread) was good and light. Cute interior. Will return.

Saul’s has the best Jewish food I’ve had since moving to California! The Pastrami Reuben was absolutely delicious, with a generous portion of meat and perfectly toasted bread, it did not disappoint. The Brisket Bubbe was also delicious, I like the Reuben more, but my...Read More

Hidden Gem in Berkeley. We ordered 2 sandwiches and both were incredibly delicious. Their pastrami is excellent and have great brewed iced tea. More importantly, their staff was very friendly and helpful in choosing from their menu. Our only regret was not being able to go back...Read More

Traditional deli food you would find in New York or Chicago. Very satisfying and reasonably priced. Inside and outside seating with ample parking in the immediate area. The staff was very attentive.

Always a great experience here for many many years. When they changed ownership a few years ago, they got even better. The bagels are excellent and they have a great mix of Middle Eastern and American Jewish food.

Perfect! I do believe this place is heavenly. From the minute one walks in, you can feel the air of excellence. Saul's may masquerade as a Jewish deli, it is actually an homage to an art form. The food is handmade with a glorious sense...Read More

Don’t ask why but my nickname in high school was Gretchen so it felt appropriate to order the sandwich resembling that nickname. It may have healed me from my adolescent bullying because this sandwich was insanely good! One that I will be thinking about for...Read More

This Saul's Restaurant reminds me of DZ Atkins Restaurant in San Diego, CA, Jewish-like. When I miss my parents, I think of ethnic food and restaurants that have the food my parents loved. I was able to be with my niece that created a family...Read More

So comforting. Pleasant indoors and out, attentive and friendly staff, easygoing and familial ambiance. The sabich sandwich is stellar. I got my late-for-St Patrick’s Day fix from a half corned beef sandwich and sweet and sour cabbage soup combo. The macaroons are perfect, not just...Read More
