"Eggplant Parm With Pasta was tasty, perfectly baked. The eggplant was perfect to bite along with the cheese and pasta. Comes with a garlic bread which is average, nice to eat with the pasta. They also provide nice paper plates and cutlery. Very well packaged. PS: I order from a different restaurant everyday and by far they have the best packaging."

"I never write reviews on DoorDash but I have to for this one because the food is so delicious, possibly the best home fries i have had in my life and the egg and cheese sandwich exceeded my expectations. above average food - there are many bagel shops in the area and this is by far the best one I've tried. I hope the store reads my review and knows how happy I am with my order!"
"6TH time ordering from Lakeview Bagels & Deli (went twice in person)! A 10/10 bagel spot. They have such a huge variety of food choice in their menu. Everything is always so fresh, the bagels are hand-rolled chewiness factor is top tier. Sausage Egg Cheese on an everything bagel is a classic breakfast fave. Im not a big donut fan but I tried their chocolate and vanilla donuts and my god I have never had such yummy soft fluffy Donuts better than any I've ever had. The ITALIAN HERO SUB is absolutely proportionately perfect, so fresh and everyone making this food are amazingly talented and know exactly what they're doing. I had to go in person and faced-palmed because the number of times I drove by this place and didn't go in, I missed out for sure. They are so sweet and absolute angels this is my #1 to-go spot. Thank you for being amazing! <3 \(^-^)/"

"AGAMIES was the first Italian deli I had when I moved to Clifton in "98" that sandwich was the "Sloppy Joe" still my favorite and my goto chicken salad on a long roll. All fresh soups and deli meats are top quality as is the service provided served with a smile and how have you been. Love this place"
"Agamie’s is consistently the best compared to other local spots. I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve ordered — the prices are fair, the portions are generous, and everything has been delicious. I recently ordered a similar breakfast from another local place and felt overcharged for the amount of food I received. A few days later, I ordered the same meal (pancakes and a three-egg breakfast) from Agamie’s, and the portion fed three of us. I’ve also loved their salads, the Agamie sandwich, and their pasta and bean soup is my absolute favorite anywhere. I crave it at least once a week. You guys are truly awesome. I hope you never leave Clifton!"
