I'm visiting from Colorado and wanted a traditional Jewish deli. This place fit the bill! I ordered the corned beef and pastrami on rye sandwich and an egg cream soda. It was delicious! I'm returning home today and wish I had room in my suitcase for the fresh bakery items!

Everytime I visit DZ Akin's, I have a great experience! The food has that homemade feel, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and the bakery is next level. On this visit I ordered the Western Omellete and a side of French Toast. This was the best French Toast I have had in San Diego. It's the right amount of sweet, fluffy, and eggy. The potatoes were seasoned well and crispy on the outside. Overall, the meal was great! That's not even mentioning the great pastries we got from the bakery to go. I highly recommend the Hamantashen and the Rugelach. Tonia was our server and she was great as well. I can't wait to come back. Eat up!!!

San Diego's famous delicatessen never disappoints. You're certain to find something good to order from the very extensive menu. The friendly atmosphere and hustle & bustle is reminiscent of New Yorks iconic deli's.

Food is excellent! Fresh, homemade, and nourishes from the inside out. Classic deli and bakery, an old favorite when we lived here! Worth going out of our way to stop in every time we visit now. Much love and gratitude for the DZ Akin's employees 🙏🏻 🫶🏼

★★★★★ 5.0 Mikyle Miller · Oct 2025

Best Jewish Deli in SD, hands down!! My daughter and I come here often for our favorite menu item (the Borscht w/potatoes). While we wait for that yumminess to arrive, we gnosh on the perfect little challah and butter combo. And let’s not forget the pickles! De-lish 😋 On our most recent trip, John, knocked our socks off with his impeccable service. Kudos to John for making our Mother/Daughter date night even that much more special at a place we love.
