Authentic Deli Experience in Del Mar
Since 1995, Milton's Deli has been dedicated to delivering an authentic deli experience rooted in tradition and quality. Founded by David Levy and Barry Robbins, our mission has always been to recreate the classic deli atmosphere through carefully sourced meats, fresh vegetables, and time-honored recipes. Our menu features iconic dishes like pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, matzo ball soup, and brisket dinners, complemented by a bakery offering homemade challah and pastries. We continuously innovate to incorporate modern culinary trends while maintaining the integrity of traditional deli fare. Our commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of our operation, from ingredient selection to customer service.

With over 25 years of family ownership, we prioritize creating a welcoming environment where guests feel valued. Our team takes pride in delivering consistent quality and generous portions that exceed expectations. Regularly featured specials and catering options ensure there's always something new to experience. We actively engage with our community through events like National Dessert Day celebrations and holiday feasts. Our goal remains unchanged since opening: to make every visit memorable through exceptional food and hospitality.
