Westdale Delicatessen

Took me 25 years to figure out this is the place to buy pastrami. There used to be a sports card store on the corner, as a child I'd come here with my parents and grandparents on one of our rare trips to Hamilton. Thank you for still being here. My family will see you again soon.

The owners are so warm and welcoming, super friendly. Ordered a “medium” pastrami and Montreal smoked meat and the portions are very generous! Served in the classic style with a smear of mustard on rye bread. The store doubles as a small Kosher grocery and has that old school nostalgic feel. Due to COVID it’s take out only so the soup can be bought frozen, but they are made fresh with no preservatives and a bunch of varieties to choose from and all delicious. A must visit in Westdale!

What a beautiful diamond! Been there for 50 years, managed by the currect owners for 35. Today was my first visit. Had a corned beef on rye and a big juicy kosher pickle. Simlly amazing. If you get a chance to stop by, please support this wonderful local business!!!

Small deli and restaurant attended by the owners themselves. Great service and reasonable prices. Quality is above anything you may have tried.

My family has been visiting the Westdale Delicatessen for nearly 30 years since we moved to Hamilton. It used to be our special treat after Hebrew school. Meir and Necha have become family. They are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Our family favourites are pastrami, Montreal smoked meat, and the incredible homemade latkes.
