I've been coming here for years and it consistently has been exceptional. The soup! Get the soup, any flavor-I've never had a bad one!

Curry Walnut Chicken Salad
One of the best longtime local delis in the city. They have a unique touch to their menu items like the sandwiches come with sprouts and shredded carrots. The curry Walnut chicken salad is my favorite but they have many great options. The potato salad is another top pick. I wish they also had the original version with chives (just in case the owner is reading) but the coarse grain mustard and bacon version is great too. Their strawberry soft serve is a crowd favorite. A small cup is like a light palate cleanser at the end of lunch. They also use it in shakes and smoothies. There are usually two soup options every day. I love to stop for lunch when the weather is good and soak it up on their patio.

Curried Chicken
A family-owned lunch place in the East Memphis area is a rare find, and this is a very nice and efficiently run one at that.
I opted for the pimento cheese sandwich on marbled rye bread, with all of the default toppings. These included lettuce, tomato, cucumber, shredded carrots and alfalfa sprouts - which all tasted fresh and paired well with the rye and pimento.
My only criticism? The layer of pimento cheese was skimpy - especially compared to the heaping of other toppings layered into the 'wich. Had there been double the cheese it would've been perfectly balanced. Next time I'll request extra.
Also of note, a bag of chips is included for the price of the sandwich - which was a modest $7.29. Beverages are extra. A great value for the area - and will definitely be returning.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this place! I felt as if I walked right into a cafe you would read about in a book. Also, the food was absolutely delicious. I think I found my new favorite lunch go-to!
