I might be wrong.
"Pita" is not Jewish food, c'mon.
Yes, Ashkenazi Delis, most Eastern European, German stuff (not existing in Israel or Europe...)
Ashkenazi Delis
Miami Beach is loaded with Israeli falafel joints...even Weston has one.

What about Jerry's Famous Deli on Collins and Espanola Way???

Instead of bread, they give you a plate of assorted pickles! If that's not Jewish, I don't know what is!

I'm not gonna respond to that, as I don't know what you're getting at...What does anyone in Miami know about Jews if they didn't see Miami Beach during its Jewish heyday? A Jew(ish) deli, whether it be in Chicago, NYC, or SE Florida is a jolly and stomach filling experience, and Jerry's is my favorite of them all.

(I am a pig for Reubens and strawberry shakes...)

Shawarma and Falafel is not Jewish food.
Delis are bohonk Ashkenazi Food joints, not real Jew. You only find that in the U.S.

The OP probably means "Jewish" as any good food a Jewish person would eat at home, as part of a traditional meal. We all know when we go to Chinese restaurants, we are not eating what they really eat in china. I am sure a meal at Olive Garden might not be exactly like what a sit down meal in Italy is. Therefore, a Jewish restaurant doesn't have to be completely identical to a restaurant in Israel LOL.
Kind of bohonkish to think that way.

Actually the Romanian Kosher Deli in Chicago (in Rogers Park specifically) is raved about far and wide as being one of "the best"; even from New Yorkers

Of course not, Jewish restaurants in Israel serve Jewish food.
Those restaurants there serve Eastern European food that some Jews ("Ashkenazis") used to eat when they lived there.
