534044 Mon Jun 30 08:11:51 -0700 2008 9 10 Florida 0 3826111 I have yet to find a true Jewish/NY deli in Orlando, and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I don't venture much out of Orlando proper, so maybe its out there and I just haven't caught wind of it yet. Thanks in advance... Mon Jun 30 08:11:57 -0700 2008 202452 Corporate_40 1 3826430 Amira's deli in Altamonte. http://www.amiraskoshermarket.com/ Mon Jun 30 09:41:24 -0700 2008 3826111 14996 cherylp3 1 3827120 My friends and I all like Toojay's. It's a chain, and definitely isn't kosher, but it's the closest we have to a real NY-style deli in the Orlando area. Basically, it's no Katz's Deli or Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House, but it serves our purposes just fine. They have locations on Colonial across from the Fashion Square Mall, in Altamonte Springs, and Waterford Lakes.

I understand being good enough, but when you've been spoiled your entire life, its hard to accept, lol. But thanks for the response.

It's a locally-owned, family-owned Kosher restaurant with stacked sandwiches, wonderful chicken soup with matzo ball, half-sour pickles on the table, and if you ask, you can get a "shmear" on your sandwich...as I'm writing this I'm starting to crave that chicken soup....

I was hoping Amiras would have it as well, but they only seem to have chopped liver (which I was also looking for). Wed Jul 02 04:49:11 -0700 2008 3826111 202452 Corporate_40 2 3832650 Bagel King - Also if you ask in advance or email Amira's they may be able to get what you want. Wed Jul 02 07:35:02 -0700 2008 3832281 14996 cherylp3 1 4711367 It appears Amira's restaurant is now closed. Tried to go there for lunch today and there is a sign on the door of the restaurant saying the restaurant is permanently closed. Sun May 24 15:30:56 -0700 2009 3826111 271853 Lucky Sven 1 4711872 Ole Gourmet is a strictly kosher place in Fern Park - on 17-92. Service and food has been spotty at best. Also, has been closed many times and seems to change owners or management with a certain frequency. Worth a try. Maybe you will get lucky. Sorry to hear about Amira's - We have been regulars for years and will check it out. (In that Altamonte area probably half the places have closed recently). Sun May 24 19:44:58 -0700 2009 3826111 268589 reinaldok 2 4716013 Ole Gourmet did recently change owners as well. It is more Israeli than a deli though.
