Nini's Deli

Perhaps my new favorite place to eat in Chicago. This place has the most wonderful food ever and the people are even more wonderful!! So caring and friendly, and they love God and love ALL people. This is a freedom-loving business with the best Cuban food!

Nini’s serves a truly amazing sandwich with the love of Christ. I couldn’t be happier with the service and product my brother Juan is giving the city of Chicago. He truly seeks to be the best at what he does in a humble, god-glorifying way. We need more establishments like Nini’s, that seek to love their neighbor with good food or product or whatever we may be doing. The empanadas, the kitchen sink, the hibiscus lemonade, the coffee…everything excellent.

Absolutely fantastic! Extremely accommodating service, all my questions were answered! Followed by a great story about Family! How the Deli got started. I had the signature sandwich. The kitchen sink. Just fantastic beautiful flavors sweet and spice! Especially try the green cucumber sauce. Wash it down with the Red hibiscus lemonade!

This place is amazing ! I was a little hesitant as I am not a big Cuban food fan. But they have converted me! Food was great. The empanandas were so tasty! The owners could not have been more friendly! They are steeped deep in their Christian faith and beliefs! I support EVERY they are doing. We live 40 mins away and we definitely will be going there again to support them!

Nini’s Deli not only has the best customer service out of any restaurant I’ve ever been too, they also have the best food ever! From empanadas to their famous “Kitchen Sink” to guava cheesecake and delicious iced coffee, I’ve had it all…and anything you choose to order at Nini’s will not disappoint you! I’ve been to Nini’s twice, traveling nearly an hour and a half both ways just to get their food. IT’S THAT GOOD, PEOPLE!! And both times I’ve walked in and been greeted by the most joyful, humble, and genuine man you will ever meet…the amazing owner, Juan! Juan is the heart and soul of Nini’s Deli and only makes the food taste that much better. He cares about every single customer on a personal level and does everything as if he’s serving the Lord FOR THE GLORY OF GOD! I’m telling you people! If I could give Nini’s Deli infinity stars, I would. If there was one restaurant I could eat at for the rest of my life, NO QUESTION it would be Nini’s! Seriously…the food, the people…OUTSTANDING! You better check this place out!

Amazing place with unbelievable food. You feel like family over there and Juan really loves his customers & what he does. You can tell this is a true passion for him. Loving people, loving food, and making everyone feel welcome. Empanadas are amazing, especially the guava & goat cheese one. And coffee.

I went to Nini's with my best friend on Saturday the 23rd of July I believe. I had the kitchen sink sandwich, an iced coffee, and and the goat cheese and guava empanada. My friend had two chicken and one beef empanadas and a churro. After consuming my own food and trying all of my friends, I was thoroughly satisfied. I'm sitting here thinking to myself "would I go back there and order what I or he had again?" I think the real question is, why wouldn't I?!? I highly recommend Nini's for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Nini's Deli was an awesome dining experience. Before I went there the day before I called to see if they could make a vegetarian sandwhich and the owner was super cool and said he would be able to make something special for me and my girlfriend and described what he would make over the phone which sounded delicious. When we arrived he remembered the phone call and the sandwhich was even more delicious than I expected. I had the cafe con leche which was strong but sweet. We also had fried plantains and the guava jam/goat cheese empanada. Everything was amazing, I highly recommend!!!

This was my first time here and it was a great experience. Where do I begin. Let’s start by the look of this establishment. Very clean,comfy,and just an wholesome vibe. The menu is short and simple. I tried quite a few things today on the menu. The Kitchen Sink,the cheese empanada with guava jelly. Come on what a combination such a smooth empanadas. A order of churos and a lemonade. I highly recommend this place. The owner Juan was very helpful in explaining the menu and he even brought the food out to us. The food was presented very well and just made the experience just that much more enjoyable. I left with a full belly,a smile on my face,and satisfied that I have again found another local gem with Nina’s Deli. If you see this Juan thanks for a great dining experience and a proud new customer that will be promoted by me so everyone can have the great experience i had.

If you want to enjoy some awesome food along with an authentic, friendly, caring family environment, you MUST visit Nini’s Deli. Juan is the real deal and is a truly wonderful person. His family business serves up great food. The Kitchen Sink sandwich is the bomb and the empanadas are out of this world. Do yourself a favor; get down to Nini’s and tell Juan that I recommended you stop by!!
