I’m always looking for a good Jewish Deli. Visiting in Baltimore and found Essen Room on Google. What a find! Delicious food and great service. This will definitely be a weekly (or more) stop for as long as I’m in town. Don’t pig (non-kosher) out on the all you can eat pickle bar. You will want to save room for your meal.

Everyone there was extremely friendly and the food was delicious! I got a loaf of rye and potato pancakes for myself and both are truly delectable. And I had also gotten some matzo ball soup for my partner and his family since they were all sick and I wanted to surprise them with some soup, which my partner says was fantastic! The guy who rang me up was very chill and charming. All around 10/10! I’m definitely coming back to try some more of their stuff!

AMAZING TASTING FOOD! You have to try the Jewish or Pastrami Cheesesteak. Of course, you can never go wrong with a hot Corned Beef sandwich. The service is cool, could be better and one dude basically forces you to pick a side despite you declining. (What’s wrong with declining a free side?) . They have servers that will bring your food to your table.. That’s right, they have seating. And, it’s just a whole vibe for a lunch date. I recommend!!!

Essen Room has huge sandwiches with tons of meat. I recommend getting all the toppings on the sandwiches (lto) and mayo/mustard/etc otherwise they can be a bit dry. The kugel is DIVINE! Easily the best I’ve ever had. Haven’t tried the cakes, but they look amazing, as do all the other pastries. You can’t go wrong ordering from/eating here. Prices are cheap for the portions you’re getting.

The Essen Room is the best deli in the state of Maryland, plain and simple. The Essen Room strives to be a classic New York-style deli and it NAILS it like few places in the entire country do. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional, the portions are enormous, and their dessert case is mesmerizing. They have the best Reuben, Matzoh Ball Soup, Knish, Tuna Salad, and Shrimp Salad I have ever had in my life. The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, taking pleasure in talking to first-timers and regulars alike. It is worth repeating that the quality of the food, whether it is the corned beef, pastrami, one of their many salads, or dessert is second to none, and this is what really sets them apart from other delis or ever other restaurants. Truly one of the best restaurants in Maryland, and possibly the entire country.

Wow! This place is legit! If you’re a NYC transplant and you’re missing that authentic deli taste (on par with Katz’s!) Go here! I took a group of friends here for the first time and we all thoroughly enjoyed and stuffed ourselves.
