Culinary Delights Inc

I am in love with this place. In. Love.
I stopped by because I am new to the area and have been searching for new, interesting non-chain restaurants. This is a real find.
The food is set up at the front of the restaurant. You look at all of the choices and then, depending on the size of the meal you want and how hungry you are, you let them know which items you want.
I've tried the borscht and the chicken dumpling soup. Both were fantastic. The chicken dumpling soup is unlike anything else I have tried. The broth is flavorful and golden. There is nothing in the broth but the fat dumplings. The dumplings are stuffed with seasoned ground chicken. My god, they are so good.
I have gotten the chopped green salad a few times because it's really good. My favorite salad there so far is the marinated mushrooms. I could die.
For mains, I've had the stuffed cabbage and the sausage, both fantastic.
Prices are totally reasonable and the people who own the restaurant are lovely. I'd like to see if they are interested in adopting a fully grown woman. ;)
There's a small, free parking lot right out front.
Absolutely recommend.

When I heard that there was a restaurant near Boston that had some Chicago style food, I knew I had to check it out. It’s the only restaurant in the area I’ve seen that makes their own Italian beef. It did NOT disappoint and I was quite impressed. This was the real deal.

The beef was perfectly thin and soaked in gravy, the sweet peppers were correctly cooked and seasoned just the way it’s done in Chicago, and the giardiniera (available in hot and mild)was the exact brand that you’d get from Portillo’s. They even brought out a little container of gravy for us to pour according to our preference. The roll itself could have been a bit larger, but overall it was incredibly delicious and even better than many Chicago restaurants I’ve been to. I also tried the Chicago dog and it was also exactly what you’d get from the best hot dog stands in Chicago. A steamed poppyseed bun, Vienna beef hot dog, sport peppers, neon green relish, and all the fixings. Perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside, well seasoned, and fresh.

There was plenty of free parking in the attached lot. The inside of the restaurant isn’t very large but there were plenty of seats available when we got there. The owners were so friendly and personable. After you order your food they will have you take a seat and have you pay after you’ve eaten. They have a unique selection of drinks and snacks available as they also function as a European market. There were unique sodas that I look forward to trying on future visits as well as bottled giardiniera if you want to take some home. I highly recommend stopping here for the high quality beef sandwiches and the incredible service. I will most definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu if I can bring myself to stray from my favorite Chicago dishes.

Chef takes pride in his work. The best Italian grinder I may have ever had. Ham, salami, bologna pickles onions lettuce mayo toasted.

I can't say anything bad about this place the owner is definitely a real good guy and we had an awesome conversation first place I've ever seen around here with an Italian beef sandwich and Chicago hot dog I'm definitely surprised with the authenticity of the Italian beef place is definitely a Hidden Gem

Stopped here on a whim. Everything was delicious. Had Chicken Kabobs with a Chopped Salad. Also the Chicago Beef Sandwich with Cole Slaw. The owner explained how they prepare their food and was open to questions and customized our lunches. Eat first, pay after. Very tasty, seasoning was great!

This place was absolutely awesome! An interesting combination of food items. A Russian based menu with an Owner that was not only a Gracious Hostess but loved to share the details of each Culinary Delicacy! Same was true of the Chef behind the counter as well! This place is one that should not be missed if you're in the area! The lamb I had was tremendous!

Delicious food, hidden gem of natick. Italian beef is the best sandwich in the whole town, very unique and flavorful. Lots of variety here, great people who run it. Highly recommend. Also fries are super crunchy, if you like that which I do.

This place is indeed a delight. Thank you to the Local Guides that helped lead us here. Convenient location and friendly, informative service - it's always nice to get to talk with the person who's preparing your meal, and since everything here seems to be made from scratch, you're talking with the real authority. The Crazy Russian was a beautifully made grilled sandwich full of complementary flavors. The chopped green salad and a cup of the chicken soup made my wife very happy. Grab some Russian candy to have as a post-meal treat. I'm looking forward to multiple return visits to try some of the other things on the menu.

As a native Chicagoian, I cannot stress how much of an absolute honor and a privilege it is to have found this establishment. Not only did they make me a very hard to get (outside Chicago area) Italian beef but it was one of the best I've ever experienced. What an incredible treat this is.

Highly recommended to everyone and I will be a regular here.

Friends told me that we needed to try the roast beef sandwich, wasn’t disappointed, it was pretty amazing. Also ordered the chicken caprice sandwich that came in a close second. Live right around the corner. I forgot how wonderful their food is. Will become a frequent flyer, next on the list is to try one of their hotdogs. The owner was very nice. In fact, I greatly respect the fact that when I paid, I was simply given a receipt and not a receipt to sign so a tip could be added .

Authentic Chicago style Italian Beef and amazing fries? Yes!

Super friendly and attentive owner & staff? Yes!

This place is a hidden gem!

Everything Ive tried here has been really good and I cant say that about many places ive been to. I love the paninis as they were so cheesey and crisp. Borsht was flavorful and hearty, the sub was huge and meaty. Taste is top notch and everything well seasoned. The owners and worker are super friendly too.

Fresh, delicious breakfast sandwiches with superb,warm,friendy customer service. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

We came in as we were travelling back from a hockey tournament. Amazing breakfast sandwiches! Hope we come through here again so we can enjoy the schnitzel and golumpkies. ❤

Best Italian Beef in Boston. This place is a local treasure, especially for any native Chicagoans.

I cheated and gave this establishment an additional 5 star review with a second Google account of mine because this place deserves it.

Highly recommended and will be a frequent regular moving forward.

I have been in Natick for 6 years and only tried culinary delight the first time today, and I had the Italian beef sandwich. All I can say is that I want the last 6 years back! This is easily the best beef sandwich I have ever had! You have to try it!

Ordered Italian beef sandwich. The food was great and I enjoyed my portion very well.
Ordered chicken kebab, the chicken is bomb overall loved it!
Thank you.

We are transplants to the area from Chicago, IL. We have been in search of Chicago style hotdogs and italian beef for 2+ years. We completed our mission when we found Culinary Delights. The italian beef is amazing (yes, they serve it dipped with peppers if you prefer), and the Vienna Beef hot dogs are authentic (water dogs served on a steamed poppy seed bun) plus they offer a host of other true culinary delights including breakfast for you to choose from. The shop is run by the owner who has a true passion for what he does... you feel it in his warm, friendly and generous hospitality and you taste it in the premium, robust, quality homemade food. Open 6am - 8pm Mon thru Fri and 8am - 5pm Sat and Sun. Tired of the same old burger take out options... Go enjoy this amazing take out joint!

Love...love...love the roast beef sandwich!!! The owner, Alex, is amazing and accommodating. For my husband, Ed's 75th birthday, Alex orchestrated delivery from Natick MA to Warwick RI for our celebration. Everything we got was perfectly done to make my life easy and serve delicious food. Thank you!!!
