Fabulous lunch at Hazel's today! Delicious food, very nice staff, and adorable outside greenhouses to eat picnic style in since closed to indoor dining. Go support a small business! You won't regret it!

I love the idea of a Jewish deli in Cooper Young and my experience wasn’t all bad, but their execution needs some work. The pastrami sandwich had plenty of meat and good flavor, but the fat was bordering on rubbery. I’m not one of those people who’s afraid of a little fat, either. Getting the meat right is pretty much the whole show at a Jewish deli, and this needed to be rendered a little more so that it would be melt-in-your-mouth tender, like it’s supposed to be. The fries were good, but the chocolate babka was small and dry. The prices are ok if everything is perfect, but too high for mediocre meat. Their competition in East Memphis isn’t as cool and funky, but they’ve got the fundamentals down better.
Very disappointed with my order, but much of that was my fault for thinking it would be worth it. I ordered the Hazel's Mazel, Coney Island's Famous Knish, and Chocolate Babka. The sandwich certainly does have 8-9oz of meat. Came with lays chips. The "pickle" definitely still tasted like a cucumber that hadn't finished getting brined. The Coney Island Knish is smaller than the palm of your hand, it's not as exciting as it sounds. The Chocolate Babka was really dry. I'm unsure if we lucked out in getting two chocolate babka's for the price of one or what. All in all, just disappointing as I really wanted to like it, but I don't know how you can justify a 25 price for this. There are a number of delis across the city that I think you should give a go before this one.
Very tasty, I prefer the bagels over the sandwiches though. My favorite is the knish. It is a little pricey but I don’t mind paying a little extra to help local businesses especially during the pandemic. Also love the cream soda.
Best pastrami Ruben outside of NYC. Just had one delivered by a kind friend. the pastrami was moist and tasty the kraut was good with a nice sauce. Highly recommended!
I have eaten at Hazels 3 times now and all 3 times have been really ding dong delicious. That Ruben is fabulous and the chicken soup today was the best I have ever had.
Had the pastrami Reuben and it was amazing. Was just as good as Katz’s deli in New York. Worth the price. I will eat here at least once a week for the foreseeable future.
The food is delicious. The pricing is on point with the amount of meat on the sandwich- I got the Hazel's Mazel and it was comparable to sandwiches I've gotten at Katz in NYC but 15 instead of 20. I'll definitely come back more often! Next time I want to try the Ronzo :)
