Etzel Itzik Deli

This is one of the few classic Jewish delis and restaurants in South Florida, maybe America! After you order, you’re surprised with a smorgasbord of Israeli salads- as typical in Tel Aviv. The food is great, but you come for the experience. Great spot after Aventura Mall!

Food is authentic and highly consistent with its deliciousness. Everything you order is mouth watering.

Itzik is truly fantastic! The food is outstanding—every dish is packed with bold, flavorful spices and authentic ingredients that transport you to the heart of Israel. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh, vibrant salads, everything tastes like it’s made with care and love. The service is top-notch—fast, friendly, and attentive—ensuring a seamless dining experience. The warm and homey atmosphere makes you feel instantly comfortable, whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely meal. This is a must-visit spot for anyone craving delicious, authentic cuisine. Highly recommended!

We stumbled into Etzel Itzik Deli near Aventura Mall and were genuinely surprised by how good it was. This family-run Middle Eastern Jewish deli serves up fresh, clean-tasting food with vibrant herb flavors. The chicken shawarma stood out—tender, flavorful, and not greasy at all. Everything felt homemade and wholesome. It’s a great spot for a quick, satisfying bite, and the prices are fair—about $15 to $20 per person. One thing to note: tip is already included in the bill. Highly recommend. Follow IG @No.Fluff.Just.Flavor for real eats, honest bites, travel tips & foodie gems around the world. Tasting the world one bite at a time.

I wasn’t planning to fall in love with a little deli off the main road in Hollywood Beach, but Etzeil Itzik Deli just hits different. It doesn’t try to impress you with decor or marketing. It just is. You walk in and instantly feel like you’ve stepped into Israel. The kind of restaurant where the food has stories and the people actually care if you’ve eaten. This is the kind of place where regulars come in and the staff knows their order. Hebrew is floating around the room, old photos on the wall, and that smell of warm spices and fried things you didn’t know you missed until right now.
