Zaftigs Delicatessen, Brookline

ZAFTIGS is ABSOLUTELY NOT A KOSHER RESTAURANT. Any claims that it certified, managed or supervised so as to be considered Kosher are an absolute falsehood. It should not be listed in this category at all!

Very popular during brunch for a reason. Not kosher, but then again neither is Carnegie Deli.

Visited Zaftigs for the first time June 17 2010 at 4:00 pm on visit from Minneapolis. The atmosphere was pleasant. The restaurant was about 1/2 full but was quiet enough to hear table conversations. The service was prompt and the waitstaff was very helpful and attentive. The food was outstanding. My wife loved the chicken soup. I loved the potato pancakes and my sister loved the dogs. Overall a very enjojable experience. This restaurant will be on our must do list for my next visit home to Boston for a relaxing eating experience. Waited a week to write review to be more objective.

Inexpensive yet excellent delicatessen and diner fare! Recommended for brunch!

New Yorkers prepare to yawn at the bagels before spitting them out, and hopefully laugh at the pricing. There are bright spots however. But remember that you CANNOT get decent deli in this state...don't hold your breath. This place is no exception. Stick to the banana-stuffed french toast. Mmmmmmm...

Good place. There's usually a long wait, though. It's not a kosher deli, but it has some very good options.

probably the best deli in boston, with that said, it ain't new york!

I love Zaftigs, i LIke the scene, is cozy and easy for children. Their menu is varied and their breakfast is delicious. It gives a good option for families with kids. Good price, but to get in on a Sunday Morning.

Well i was taken there on a date i must say the food was great and the staff was as well i will go again and bring my friends and family i just may even tell people at work

It is pretty good deli/diner. Good omelettes. I really like the whitefish salad as well.
