Nate 'n Al of Beverly Hills

Nate 'n Al's was started in 1945 by friends Al Mendelson and Nate Rimer. The two met in a Detroit deli twenty years before, and came up with the idea of opening their own deli. They moved to California and opened their deli calling it Nate ‘n Al in Beverly Hills. It had an initial capacity of thirty persons. In 2022, the Azoffs formed a partnership with H.Wood Group who will assume daily management of the restaurant while the Azoffs assumed advisory and financial role. == Ratings ==
