Javanaise, a deli bistro on Amherst Street in Nashua operated by the owners of the Hot Rize Cafe in Merrimack, is really, really close to being a good high end deli.
I want to recommend it, but it falls just short for one reason: if you run a deli, you should know how to slice meat.
The good people at Javanaise do not know how to do this apparently. I once bought their signature sandwich, the "Javanaise" (pictured to the left in a spinach wrap with a pickle), and I swear the roast beef was as thick as plywood.
You take the roast beef out of the Javanaise, it's delectable. The manager on duty offered free extra provolone in the pictured sandwich, and it too was pretty thick. While that's not as bad as thick and stringy roast beef, it still took away from what otherwise is an excellent sandwich.
The prices are slightly more than its closest competitor, Panera Bread (who also has longer hours), but that is negligible compared to the consistency of the meat in this sandwich.
If you're in the know, order the Javanaise at Javanaise without meat and you'll be satisfied. It's too bad that you have to make this special order though.
