What Randy H likes about Hali Deli:
We have eaten here several times and the food is always delicious, hot and just enough to satisfy. Home made french fries are excellent as are the smoked meat offering. And, their soups are always great. Give yourself lots of time as the place is busy and service can be slow. View all feedback. What mitchtoner doesn't like about Hali Deli:
if you dont like super salted meat i would not recomment; Went in expecting a healthy breakfast and only ate half or less; The textures were off and the food was horrible; would not recommend to anyone and would not return to give it another try; View all feedback.

I would not return. They only take cash . There was no obvious indication of this policy until we went to pay with a card. This is very unfair to customers.

If you like Montreal deli, especially smoked meat then this is the place for you. Hali Deli is like Schwartz's comes to Halifax. Generous portions, great food.

Hali Deli offers a mix of reviews, with some customers having a negative experience due to issues such as quality, price, bone fragments in the food, and lack of customer service. However, others have praised the traditional Jewish deli for its delicious smoked meat sandwiches, Reubens, soups, and friendly service. The restaurant's menu customization options, generous portions, and overall charm have left a positive impression on many patrons. Some downsides include the restaurant only accepting cash, high prices, and limited seating. Despite some mixed feedback, Hali Deli seems to have potential as a popular lunch spot in the city.

Nice diner style. They don’t take card so bring cash. It is a brunch place but not a sweet brunch place. Mostly meat dishes.
