Gina's Deli — Restaurant in Jacksonville

I stumbled across this gem on my way to edgewood, and I saw the Middle Eastern plate on the window. I had to try it, especially when I saw all the police cars there. I'm so glad I did. It's a whole in the wall spot run by a family almost like a mom and pop restaurant. The son gave me some history and knowledge behind their culture and was a gentleman (I love that). His mother was everything. Very sweet and wise woman with a grace of elegance. The Middle Eastern plate was amazing. I took it to work for lunch, and it was a perfect balance of vinegary salt and light sweet of the grape leaves. The hummus was good, and the plate gave me energy. I wasn't sluggish. Now that punch is a must have lol as well. Everything was good. For the pork lovers, this is defia good breakfast and lunch spot. I'll be back for an update...

I used to eat at Gina's a lot when Gina herself run the store. Her daughter's run it now, I don't think there is conscientious as their mom was. The girl at the front counter is not the friendliest person. If you get a Peter to go please check it and make sure it's not split out the bottom. That's my biggest complaint is a rip through the pita bread and when you get it to go and you get ready to eat it it falls in your lap. If you eat there and have breakfast and you need silverware good luck, they use the absolute cheapest plastic forks and knives I have seen anywhere. Hardee's breakfast when the knife won't cut through your sausage. If the grits are hot your spoon will bend from the heat. I've been going to the other places for the past few months and not so much...

Absolutely the BEST food and service in Murray Hill.

I love their Tuna Pita with all the fixings, Steak In A Sack with mushrooms, onions and banana peppers, the Giant Burger with those delicious Crinkle Fries.

The homemade desserts especially the carrot cake, brownies, baklava, banana pudding, other specialty slices of cakes, cookies, and sweets are worth the calories. So yummy. 😋

You can pick up a huge bag of fresh pita bread or some of their famous salads and tabouleh from the refrigerated case to take home for around $4-5.

The breakfast and lunch selections are varied and reasonably priced for the portions served. Breakfast ALL DAY on Saturday.

There's so much to love about Gina's Deli and the food is...
