    After seeing the viral Tik Tok from imma_eat_this, my best friend and I decided to give Deli Boyz a shot on a nondescript rainy Thursday early evening, since he lives about 2 blocks away. We were surprised to see so many people already waiting at 6PM in the rain -- with the line spanning around the corner to the closest house. Those who were ahead of us told us that the line usually spans much longer, and that they'd come all the way from Westchester to taste the fare. The line had sporadic, and unpredictable starts/stops. What we thought would be a half-hour max, turned out to be a 65 minute wait and a 90 minute ordeal in total to get our food. **Protip: Go with friends and have someone run and get a snack (there's McDonald's and Popeyes nearby) to nibble on while you wait. There was a bouncer handling the crowd, letting limited people in as if this place was having a limited release. Don't worry about cutters, as the locals (especially the elders) will cuss out anyone who tries to play. When you get inside, you realise that the place is super tiny and is run with about 5 people working -- one person handing orders, two people on the grill, one person at the cashier, and the aforementioned bouncer. On the opposite side of the grill is your standard bodega counter. I'm not sure if anyone actually purchases anything other than the hot food. The deli keeps busy and they are actually working super hard, so try to keep that in mind as you wait. The person handling orders had us stand in specific spots in the queue, which I liked, and he gave us a small sample of the goat as a form of appreciation for the long wait. We got two waakyes, one order of steak, and another order of lamb for $60. The waakye was seasoned, but wasn't the style my Ghanaian friend usually makes it, so I can't really judge it. The steak was nice and juicy, though it was cooked much more thoroughly than I'd have liked (I asked for medium-rare, it was a mix between medium and medium-well). Both the steak and the lamb had really good flavour, especially with the green sauce, which is key -- I thought the dijon mustard on the side was a bit overpowering. All in all, the food is completely fine fare and the wait would be acceptable if this was at a restaurant, but I don't know that I would seek out the food even if it WAS in a restaurant. That and the wait makes me think Deli Boyz was another case of overhyped Tik Tok fad.

    Ribeye with jollof rice Mac n cheese

    Stopped in around 11pm about to check it out. Got the rib eye with jollof rice, and mac n cheese. Got the turkey wings and potatoes for the other. 1 Bissap drink, can of 7up, bottle of water and a juice for $70. The prices are not listed inside, their flyer posted here and what I was charged is completely different and off and of course the receipt has everything as 1 custom item. That's definitely a draw back from a service stand point. The portions were large enough to either split into 3 meals or between 2 people. The food was decent. I've had better and I've had worse. I was able to cute the steak with the plastic knife tho.

    Lamb with jollof rice and onions plate

    My order of lamb came with jollof rice and onions. The lamb was seasoned well, tender and juicy. The jollof rice was undercooked and gooey. The flavors just were not there. The onions were too much for the plate and if that was a side, why!!?. I was unsatisfied. My daughter ordered the steak, it was well done seasoned well, tender and juicy. Her jollof rice must've come from the same pot because it was sticky and gooey too and without flavor. Deli Boyz was too hyped by social media. I would recommend their meat only but not the jollof rice. Customer service was undesirable. I asked for an item that was on the menu but due to the crowd, the guy wouldn't make the wrap, therefore I ended up getting that full plate. The ambiance was small and unappealing. The prices are decent.

    I must amend already my previous review and bump it up to 3.5 stars for the steak. My second order of steak was more tender, juicier, and must have somehow been cooked to a lower temperature. They need to have a larger grill or expand the use of the grill currently in use to give them more room to grill the meats separately and continue cleaning that grill regularly. The initial social media reviews benefitted from short lines and correspondingly better food preparation. The chefs at Deli Boyz will have to get their processes under control to deliver up to the levels of the social media reviews. At this point, Deli Boyz is not delivering up to those expectations and I would recommend going to Deli Boyz off peak when the line is short and they have time to prepare the food better. If they work out the kinks, Deli Boyz chefs will become a draw for the community and beyond. If they work out the inconsistencies and hone the process, Deli Boyz will stay on everyone's radar. Keep up the hard work. 3.5 stars!

    Steak and jolloff rice
    Lovely L.

    Was driving by and seen this place it's a deli so I was expecting food but while in line I seen someone in front of me get the steak so I decided to get it . Tbh it wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either .. for almost 34 dollars It could have been a little more tasty. I ordered my steak medium well and it more medium rare which I didn't like .. the rice was tasty and big servings . It's not a date spot more of a pick up and go . I would probably try the spot again but not anytime soon . Happy eating

    Lamb and jollof rice
    Stephanie G.

    Literally just finished eating lunch from here. Came here on my lunch break as they were opening up so there was no line. They didn't have many of the menu items available , so not sure if certain items are only available on certain days or later on in the day . Went with the lamb , green sauce and jollof rice . Disclaimer , I hate rice any kind of rice , I literally would eat around rice . However , I tasted the jollof and babyyyy , it was so good . My fiancé is not a fan of lamb , however he really enjoyed their lamb. The lamb was so flavorful and the green sauce and onions added some great flavors to the dish . It's a small store , however , the wait time was not long but again we were like the third person there . Oh and we got food leftover as we ordered extra lamb and there was a lot of rice under the lamb.

    Jollof rice with lamb shoulder and sweet plantains
    Sarah-Jane R.

    As soon as I walked into Deli Boys there were six people in front of me. I was willing to wait and not let me tell you it was worth it. I ordered jollof rice with 4 pieces of lamb shoulder along with some sweet plantains. I could tell just from the food's aroma that my food was packed with flavor! My mouth was watering from the time I picked up my food and throughout the 45 min drive back home. My daughter and I devoured this delectable meal. I will definitely go back to Deli Boys and try more food!

    It is absolutely delicious   and the customer service is 5 star.
    Heaven P.

    It is absolutely delicious and the customer service is 5 star The lady who helped us was so sweet. I had lamb chops so tender and seasoned to perfection. The Black Eyed peas are so good, and I mean slap yo mama good. The lamb peanut butter stew oh Madh'allah just a beautiful shop. From California to Harlem, I'm so glad I came here and will forever be back.

    Lamb chops with onions and chicken Rasta Pasta and amazing green sauce which 30 dollars for this dish
    Javette M.

    I want here after hearing about it from my friend. So I decided to go on a Saturday late night/ early morning. I didn't wait long being that it was very late. I got the lamb with the onions and green sauce and the chicken Rasta pasta. Since they didn't have the steak which I really wanted to try with the rice. I Will have to go back to try that. Service was good and the staff were very nice to me. The staff works very hard. The place is a little small. One thing I will say is for the 30 dollars I paid I it's was worth the money. They do give you a lot of food. The only thing I would say is that I feel the lamb should have been a little more cooked. It was good but it was a little tough. I like my lamb to be soft. That sauce is outstanding. If the lamb would have been more cooked it would have been perfect. Great seasoning on the Rasta pasta that was delicious but I will definitely go back to try the other stuff they have.

    Ribeye, jollof rice
    Alex M.

    Ribeye with the green sauce and onions was good. Green peas were a little on the sweeter side. First time having jollof rice. It was good. Steak, rice, peas & Snapple was $51.17 It was busy and they didn't really communicate prices that welll. They don't have a menu posted anywhere. It's a little confusing. Store was clean ish. I might return.

    We went around 2pm the line was decent about 5 people ahead of us. It's like a typical Deli style spot be mindful it's a grab and go spot not a sit in. Staff was friendly everything on display looked good. Regular shoppers kept suggesting the green sauce which I do appreciate because it was delicious. We got lamb on the grill with the green sauce, white rice onions, peas & carrots, rasta the pasta with chicken , mac & cheese, Stew lamb in brown sauce (Sorry I forgot the name). The food was delicious I'm just not a fan of the Stew Lamb in the brown sauce. The portions were pretty decent and generous, Services quick.

    Grilled onion, Lamb shoulder & razta pasta
    Daniela P.

    Got this place recommend and it impressed me. I had the lamb shoulder (4 pieces) with razta pasta for 33$! Meat is tender & green sauce on it is delicious! Pasta is on the spicer side. Over all you are getting your moneys worth, fresh to order!

    But can we get into this food!???…read more I ordered the Double-Mac w/ Fried Shrimp . Not only did it taste AMAZING, but they have the A1 customer service to match!! #Support this #BLACKOWNED business! I know I'll definitely be coming back for more.

    Arrived at 1:15 PM, they allegedly open at 1pm, and falsely advertise lunch specials from 1-4pm on…read moretheir menu. I thought they were closed, as the lights were off and it looked empty. The door was unlocked and when I got inside, it was dark and there was one employee present, with his head down. He then asked me if it was 1pm several times like he's not even tracking the time/ no device or watch near him, then I'm like it's 1:15pm. He is the only employee present (basically cashier, cook & anything else). I asked him about the lunch specials and to clarify which meals the deal applied to, he pointed to a chalk board with a bunch of options, I chose one from the list. Claimed order would take about 5 mins, took 15 extra minutes, made me late to work. Then when the food came out, it was $30 and the 2nd employee who had come in (late) claimed they didn't have the lunch deal anymore. I clarified that I asked the person cooking in the back (only other person there) when I arrived SPECIFICALLY about which meals the deal applied to and he gave me the choices on the board. She then looked around with a dumb look like she was confused, despite him just having given me that misinformation and he stayed quiet in the back. She basically just said well this is how much it is, expecting me to pay $30 for a meal they falsely advertised as a lunch deal. Kindly left the whole order there and said I'll talk to Yelp. Don't advertise a deal from 1-4pm and have it in writing and have employees confirming it exists and then once the food is made, expect someone to be SCAMMED and pressured into paying full price. Very disorganized, unprofessional and dishonest. What kind of business has employees forgetting to open, sleeping in the dark, other employee showing up even more late and then falsely advertises a lunch deal and the employees aren't even on the same page on whether or not it exists. Feel like they were trying to take advantage and exploit me for my $, despite it being their mistake and expecting me to just pay like a clown. Ridiculous I was late back to work, despite it being a 2 min walk from my job and me being the first customer there, 15 mins after opening. Just to not even get any food and starve all day because they advertise a lunch deal to pull people in and then charge them full price like SCAMMERS. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOURSELF THE WASTED TIME AND EMPTY STOMACH. Love supporting my Black businesses but the few that operate like they're doing somebody a favor, or serving a free plate, need to learn what being a business looks like. (& that's for all businesses not just Black ones but still)
