Hidden gem! Love Chicago dogs and the couple who run this place are warm kind people. Join the hotdog club! ;-):-D

Just went for my first time. I am a Chicago/​Naperville, Illinois native. I have been craving a true Chicago dog and Italian beef for sometime. They really do it right, from start to finish. Super friendly, super fresh, and totally cheap. I would pay double for this treat! Awesome! I will be back with friends and family.

This place is delicious! What a hidden gem! The sandwich’s and the hot dogs are great. This may be one of my new favorites spots in this area. I’m planning on becoming an regular.

I eat here for lunch at least 2x a week if not more. I have tried out just about every restaurant in Natick and the surrounding route 9 area for lunch and this is by far my favorite. Every time I walk in they greet me by name. All of their salads are exceptional — I particularly love the tritatta and the misti. Their sandwiches are all phenomenal as well. The true culinary delight though is talking to Alex and putting a plate together of food that he will heat up for you and let you eat there. It can range from bbq chicken (delicious) to roast pork loin to stuffed cabbage and chicken crepes. The sides are ranging from potato salad to eggplant salad (yummy and unique) to mushrooms and different variations of beet salads. This is a must try restaurant if you are in Natick for lunch.

The woman and the young man who waited on me were very good. The woman was very friendly. I liked the atmosphere.
I have to agree with another reviewer. They only lose one star for a limited menu.
I ordered a small bowl of chili to go and a hot, black coffee. The chili was from scratch and had three different kinds of beans: black bean, dark kidney bean, and light kidney bean. It also had peppers and onions and was spiced perfectly. The coffee was made fresh, strong and delicious.
I would try this place out again and encourage others to try it as well.

Can’t get any better Italian beef sandwich unless you were in Chicago and maybe not then since owner is from the Windy City. Yumm!

This was a random Unilocal find from the highway. Be warned — the address provided will take you next to Culinary Delights, not to the actual location. We had to circle the block a few time before we found it hidden on a side street next to the gas station.
I ordered the caprese sandwich with a side of pickles and found it very delicious. The caprese sandwich had chicken that was ver flavorful and came on a crusty french loaf. I also enjoyed the homemade pickles I had on the side. The only reason I’m not rating it higher is because while my sandwich was delicious I found the options limited and the place as a whole felt a little run down.

I have been walking bye this place for a long time… finally decided to stop in and try it. I was met by the owner… very pleasent to talk to. I like restaurants where I know the owners/​staff. I did not know what I was going to eat, a customer there suggested the hot roast beef sandwich… WOW…its was really great… tried the itialian ices for desert… its all home made and fresh… I will be going back here!

A great little spot in Natick. Went looking for a new place to try and stumbled across this little gem.
The owners are SUPER nice and friendly. You’ll feel at home in there. They explained the entire menu and the fact that they were partially a European grocery, carrying the more items in limited quantities.
The Chicago hot dogs looked great. I didn’t try one, but wish I did. I opted for a hot Italian roast beef sandwich. It was great!
Pros:
1. The roast beef is great! It came on a fresh baked hero roll, with plenty of sweet peppers and just enough ‘gravy’ (I don’t like too much au jus myself). Also tried the homemade mac and cheese which was great too.
2. They make everything fresh, so be prepared if they run out of things. This is good though, because it means their dishes are fresh.
3. They do party platters and have a pretty good selection of cheeses and cured meat, like salamis. They also bake whole loaves of bread to order! yumm!
4. Hot dogs looked great! 100% beef, on a poppy hot dog bun with all the fixins. I wish I had gotten one, but couldn’t eat another bite after my giant roast beef sandwich.
5. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. Tables are inside and out. Great spot to get a quick lunch. Ask them about their food, they’re happy to tell you.
Cons:
1. I don’t really have any.
Tips:
1. There really isn’t a decent selection of turkey or chicken in the deli meat case. I think there was one turkey breast you could get sliced. I think they specialize more in European cold cuts, so don’t expect to go and do all your deli shopping there. A lot of cured bacon, salami, hams, and pork type deli meat. Anyway, just be prepared if you want sliced turkey or Boar’s head deli meats, they don’t carry those, though what they do have looks amazing.

Big variety of always fresh products. Alex and his team are always friendly and very helpful. The food at the store is absolutely the best. My family are the customers of Culinary Delights since it was opened in 2003.

I found this place thanks to Unilocal as I was looking for something different than the typicals chains for lunch and really wanted a good sandwich. The reviews seemed good so I thought I’d try it. The staff was so nice and friendly, I was thinking about trying the beet salad so they offered me a sample. I ordered the Chicken Caprese sandwich which was delicious! The pesto sauce on it was so good! I also got a side of the beet salad… loved it! I’ll definitely be heading back there for lunch and highly recommend it! They also had tons of prepared food like Bintzes and more, all of which looked amazing!

Authentic Chicago food in Boston. Doesn’t get any better.

I was driving by and decided to see what they had to offer. I must say I was overwhelmed by the variety of meats, cheeses, and prepared food they have. It’s a deli, but also has many options for prepared entrees as well. Since I had already had lunch my thoughts were to buy something for dinner. I bought stuffed cabbage, and a variety of stuffied meat and cabbage pastries that were delicious. I spoke with the owner for a bit and he is trying to figure out what Natick really needs in a food place. His challenges with the large chains and well established businesses are understandable. So if you have a chance to stop in and try it out, you would be helping a local business and eating some great food. I figured I would Unilocal to help him grow and see what you all thought.
