285.0. "Kosher Restaurants in Boston?" by LATEXS::MINOW (I need a vacation) Fri Mar 20 1987 20:28

A guy I've corresponded with occasionally over the years is coming
to Boston for a conference in May.  He asked (on Usenet) about
Kosher restaurants in the Boston area.  I only know of two:
Rubin's Deli (Harvard St. in Brookline) and the Harvard Hillel
dining room.

Any other suggestions?  (He won't have a car, so he's limited to
the capabilities of the T; but, as there doesn't seem to be a note
on the subject, the 'burbs should be fair game.)

285.1Rubin's Kosher DeliLATEXS::MINOWI need a vacationFri Mar 20 1987 20:327
Rubin's Deli is located at 500 Harvard Ave. in Brookline.  About 1 block
south of the corner of Comm. Ave. and Harvard Ave.  The MBTA Green line
(B line) trolley stops at Harvard Ave.  Telephone is 737-8787.

The food is general Deli food, with a couple of hot dishes.  Quite good.

285.2Harvard Hillel dining roomLATEXS::MINOWI need a vacationFri Mar 20 1987 20:365
Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel maintains a kosher dining room.  Call them
at (617) 495-4696 for details.  They're located at 74 Mt. Auburn
Street, one block South of Harvard Square in Cambridge.

Cafe Shalom is also on Harvard St.  They serve fish & dairy.  
I'm not sure of the exact address but it's a few blocks up from 
Rubins.  It's on the same block as the Israel Book Store and Bread
& Circus.  

I think that the food at Rubin's is quite good.  Every once in a 
while I try Cafe Shalom in order to see if I like it better - I don't.
285.4a couple moreDELNI::GOLDSTEINWAC-E Ideology & PlanningMon Mar 23 1987 14:349
    I think this topic is a repeat.
    
    ALso note the Milk St. Cafe, which serves lunch but not dinner,
    at Kendall Sq. in Cambridge and downtown Boston.
    
    The Delitizer in Newton is kosher, but not Glatt.  Both meat and
    dairy, but paper plates, separate sinks, etc.  (At least that's
    how the Brookline store worked; I don't think that one is still
    around.)
285.5not supervisedVINO::WEINERSamTue Mar 24 1987 11:4912
    The Delitizer in Newton is the only one (of three at one time) still
    around.  Another thing to note in case it is important to you or
    your friend is that Delitizer is NOT supervised.  
    
    If you ask for butter with the bread for your roast brisket dinner, 
    they will cheerfully provide it.  What they will not do is make a
    Rueben for you. They will provide cheese on a seperate plate if you
    want such a thing.
    
    They have a statement of their philosophy of kashrut at the back
    of the menu.  If you want a copy, send me your name and mailstop.
    
285.6REGENT::WOLFMon Mar 30 1987 14:048
    Any   of you noters know what happened to the Delitizer that used
    to be on Rt 30 in Framingham? Some time back my wife and I were
    going to Shoppers World and figured we stop at the Delitizer for
    some Jewish Soul-food, when to our great displeasure it had become
    Cafe mumble-mumble!!!!! (we live in Marlboro so Kosher deli is hard
    to find w/o venturing east of 128!!!

285.7DeliTizer LONG GONE!CURIE::LEVITANTue Mar 31 1987 15:599
    
    As a Framingham resident - I can tell you that the Delitizer had
    a "mysterious" fire quite some time ago.  I don't think you'll find
    a kosher restaurant before Newton.  The Deli at Shoppers' World
    is  "Jewish style" and definitely not kosher.  I can't help you
    re: kosher deli towards Worcester - but I believe Langley Deli in
    Newton still exists (it's closer than Harvard Street, Brookline).
    
     
285.8damn yuppies...DELNI::GOLDSTEINWAC-E Ideology & PlanningTue Mar 31 1987 16:502
    Last time I looked, Langley Deli in Newton Centre was replaced by
    something else.  I don't remember what.
285.9past (& present) NewtoniteVINO::WEINERSamTue Mar 31 1987 18:3613
    Langley was never kosher that I recall.  It is now some sort of
    chicken place.
    
    If you are going that far, you might as well go to Delitizer.
    
    In the other direction, there is a kosher chinese take out place
    (Ruth's Kitchen) on Pleasant St. in Worcester.  I don't remember
    their having any deli stuff from the one time I was there but they
    might.
    
    re .-1:  Its nice to see that someone knows how to spell Newton
    Centre.
    
285.10Good FoodGRAMPS::LISSESD&P ShrewsburyWed Apr 01 1987 13:5612
    re .9
    
    Ruth's Kitchen, run by Ruth Kagen, doesn't carry any deli. That's how
    they get around the glatt problem. They are however, under rabbinical
    supervision. 
    
    I wouldn't call Ruth's a Chinese style restaurant even though they have
    a large selection of egg rolls etc. You can get a whole barbecued
    chicken or just some old fashioned potato salad. If you go there, keep
    in mind that it's take out only.

285.11Langley's is Le Chick, but still a deliVIDEO::OSMANtype video::user$7:[osman]eric.sixWed Apr 01 1987 16:0212
Langley Deli in Newton Center (note the spelling!) was replaced by
another deli called

	Le Chick

Although you can get chicken, it's still basically a deli.  Not kosher,
but still a nice breakfast place.

You can get things like coffee, bagels, lox, cream cheese, eggeys,
and usually a New York Times that previous man left on the chair.

285.12Does SABRA have good food?FILMOR::SAADEHMon Aug 31 1987 10:4714
    Hi,
    
    I am looking for information on a restaurant in the center of Newton
    called SABRA.  
    
    They server Arabic/Armanian/Jewish foods.
    
    
    Any information on how good there food is.
    
    Thanks,

285.13Bobbing for felafels?IAGO::SCHOELLERHelp! | !pleHMon Aug 31 1987 12:328
    Salam Sultan,
    
    In general I can recommend Sabra.  Their food is good.  The portions
    are ample.  I think that their felafel is not so good as Mi Vami but
    that is personal taste.  Since they are not kosher I haven't tried
    their meat dishes but my wife recommends them.
