It’s actually two businesses combined: Delirama handles the food while Olfactory Brewing focuses on the beer. Delirama’s pastrami sandwiches come in two varieties: a hot option for $18, which is hands down the best pastrami I’ve had, and a cold fridge sandwich for $8, which I usually order. I visit about three times a week and couldn’t recommend it more, especially if you enjoy good beer and pastrami. The $8 fridge hoagie is a must-try. Service is takeaway-focused. Perfect spot for lunch, with prices between $1–10. Food, service, and atmosphere all deserve a 5-star rating. Highly recommended!

The coleslaw is so good it actually makes me want to eat more veggies. A solid 10/10. The beer and food pairing is fantastic. Highly recommended!

Finally, Berkeley has a spot where you can enjoy tasty pastrami and carefully crafted sandwiches. Just take a look at their sandwiches—they truly speak for themselves. The $8 cold hoagies are satisfying, made fresh daily, and far superior to the overpriced, mediocre options elsewhere in Berkeley. Be sure to try the Delirama Jr. and Olfactory sandwiches—you won’t be disappointed. Service: 5 Food: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20
