What is it about a good deli that’s so irresistible? A delicatessen, if you are wondering, is simply an all-encompassing word for places that prepare food, especially foreign specialties. Here in the U.S., the Jewish deli is particularly popular, combining aspects of grocery stores and restaurants to feed hungry patrons. However, in places like Lakewood, there’s so much more than just sandwich and soup shops. One of the best Mediterranean delis in Greater Cleveland is tucked away in Lakewood… and their hummus is a true treat. Check it out:

Lakewood is a community filled to the brim with hidden gems, and Jana's is just one of many must-see locations.
Jana's Mediterranean Deli and Grill, located at 15211 Detroit Avenue, looks like any other unsuspecting storefront. At first glance, a passerby may not notice that it is a restaurant. However, its menu is quietly one of the best in town.
While visitors rave about the friendly staff at Jana's, the mouthwatering delicious food is what keeps them coming back.
Fight the struggle by ordering online via Doordash, GrubHub, or UberEats. If you're striving to try a bread pie, try the spinach with feta... fans simply cannot get enough of it!
While there's something here for everyone (including burgers, fish fry, and more), the hummus is undeniably the star of the show.
Hummus, if you've never had it, is a dip made of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and other goodies. It is often topped with olive oil to smooth out the texture and a dash of paprika to add a bit of color, but this dish is versatile and can be prepared in a number of ways.
Tumeric, beet, chocolate, hot, garlic, and more are waiting to tempt your taste buds. Enjoy your hummus solo or order a dish, like Philly Steak, served over it. Either way, your taste buds will fall in love at first bite.
Traditionally, hummus is enjoyed with a flatbread like pita or fresh, crisp veggies like carrots and celery.
Picky eaters will find familiar foods like chicken nuggets, hamburgers, and fries, but adventurous eaters will also enjoy more unique concoctions. And, of course, desserts like baklava and cheesecake await an opportunity to tempt your taste buds with rich flavor.
Blink and you'll miss it, but you definitely don't want to. Jana's Deli belongs on your radar!
Bring your appetite! This delicious dining destination mainly specializes in carryout orders, so it is the perfect meal for a night spent at home. Indulge and treat your taste buds... you'll be planning a return trip before you know it!
