Our story

Family run, every day of the week

Chicago Pastrami has been on Front Street since 2013. The Dermendjian family took it over in 2017, and one of us is behind the counter every day of the week.

We kept the deli the way regulars know it: pastrami from Chicago, dipped in our homemade au jus and finished on the grill, plus Chicago dogs, cheesesteaks and Italian beef. Next to those you'll find our own Armenian pastrami, cured, spiced and dried in-house, along with falafel, kebbeh, shawarma and Syrian coffee.
