There is no word on what caused the blaze, and no injuries were reported.
CBSPhilly reports the eatery had previously sustained a three-alarm fire back in 2008 that was said to have been caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette.
On Monday morning, before flames would ravage through the restaurant, Short Hills Deli posted a message to its many customers on its Facebook page.
