Our Heritage

A Milwaukee
tradition that
endures

Since 1978, Hinnawi Meat and Deli has been a cornerstone of Milwaukee's culinary landscape. What began as a family-run counter has grown into one of the city's most respected destinations for premium deli meats and handcrafted sandwiches.

Our founders brought with them an unwavering commitment to quality — sourcing the finest cuts, mastering traditional curing methods, and treating every customer like a neighbor. That philosophy hasn't changed. Neither has our dedication to the craft that defines us.

Today, we continue to serve the community that raised us, with the same care, consistency, and genuine warmth that earned us our reputation — one sandwich at a time.
