The Borscht Belt at Fareway Market in Chestnut Hill is a fast-casual sandwich shop serving classic Jewish-inspired comfort food with speed and precision. This leaner take on the original Borscht Belt …
In a city largely bereft of good deli options (1 or 2 at the most), the new Borscht Belt in Chestnut Hill is a welcome arrival. I hesitate to post a review only because I don’t want them to become swamped with business so quality declines and I can’t get what I need. The roast turkey, pastrami and corned beef are sublime, and getting the meat right is what a good NY deli is about. Even though the menu is a bit limited, it is clearly curated by the mind of someone who grew up with and knows what many of the required high points are to make a deli.

The Pastrami Reuben/Rachel was okay at best. I just wish it looked like the advertised picture. l mean for $15.00, it could have had a little more meat. Also not enough mustard or Russian Dressing. I tried the Rachel version. I got carried away thinking it would be like Katz Deli or the 4th street Deli in South Philly. My bad l won't be making that mistake again.
