My favorite restaurant on this planet! I come at least 3 times a week, highly recommend

Normally the food is on point but I've had a few problems and have been told to bring it back but after 3 minor incidents they act as though their policy doesn't apply. I'm buying from this place at least 3 times a week. Their explanations Don even make sense! I will no longer recommend this place to people again. I will also warn people about their poor customer service. I hate establishments that are happy to take your money but when there is a problem all of a sudden they forget that you are a paying customer!! read more

Awesome-tasting grilled chicken sandwiches served on focaccia bread. They are made any way you want them and everything is fresh! There's also a wide selection of salads and hot bar selections! I definitely recommend for dining in and taking out, but I warn you it gets very crowded during lunch time. read more

This place has one of the widest selection of the most delicious Caribbean, Latin American, and American food to satisfy every taste and palette. read more

I like this place a lot. We had a mango smoothie, the mac and cheese, and fig bars. Everything was good. We thought the mac and cheese could had used a little bit more salt but no biggie. The smoothie and fig bars were on point. The people that work there are nice and helpful, the quarters are clean, and the spread of food to choose from is impressive. Go in and take a look- you should find a staple you keep going back for. read more

I've been going to this place for about 10 years the food is outstanding, there is no place you can go where you would get this kind of food. You can eat in or take out, each time you fix your plate you find that there is something else that you would like to add too your plate. Please go there eat there, as god is my witness you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend this place, don't miss out on a good thing. read more

Im a local in this area and this is the best deli / lunch place around. So many good options: amazing sandwiches, amazing salads, and an amazing buffet of hot food. Mac n cheese is some of the best I've had! Also super nice staff - can't say enough good things ! read more

Food tastes great and is good for you. I love the sea bass, they make about 4 different varieties. I am not usually a buffet fan but this one is clean and well maintained, food is not just sitting there drying out. The kitchen is always busy, smells like being at your mother's or grandmother's house. They have an excellent juice bar as well. It is pricey, as you pay by the weight. read more

You almost don't expect to find a restaurant here. But it's a fine restaurant indeed. You can park in front of Gourmet Express, or you can park in the gas station in spaces reserved for the restaurant. Look for the signs. It's a huge, delightful buffet that charges by the pound. There is salad, there is the main course area, and an island reserved for vegetarian food. There's some nice leafy vegetables in the vegetarian section including delicious tofu. But vegetarians should not ignore the main course area, as they also have meatless options there, but they mainly consist of side dishes such as plantains. The quality of food here is excellent. It's better than Fairway which is across the street. I would go so far as to say it's better than Whole Foods (although you reasonably expect whole foods to be prepared with organic ingredients, there's no indication that Gourmet Express uses such). There's a small bakery section where you can get cookies, reminiscent of an Italian bakery. I tried it once last year and it was good but I avoid it because food is pricey here to begin with and I don't want to get fat. What really sets this place apart from the rest is its wide selection of fresh juices. You can get orange juice, but you can also get some wild combinations. I prefer orange carrot pineapple and ginger. They have other stuff too, including something with turmeric. The only caveat is the juices are $5-7 each. And that's the main complaint here. It's a wee bit expensive. Quality hot food by the pound usually is, but combine that with the fresh squeezed juices and you can easily end up spending $43 for two people like my father and I ended up doing. Of course, you have to spoil yourself sometimes. But the high prices don't come with much ambience as you'll be eating out of those disposable aluminum containers in a dining area that's not entirely level because the floor has dips to accommodate a number of drains on the floor. Complaints aside, the food is great at Gourmet Express! If you come you will be satisfied, just watch the weight of your food and how much your drinks cost, and you'll be happy you showed up. read more

One of my favorite places to eat while i'm in NY. My boyfriend comes here about everyday just to get their tea in the morning. They make fresh ginger tea and he loves it. The food is buffet style but its good food. They have sooo much selection to choose and everything looks tasty. Get there early or the good stuff will be gone. Oh and their Oatmeal in the morning taste delicious. read more

Gourmet Express - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

Staff was friendly and professional. Place was clean. Food was amazing with many varieties. Price is a bit high around 7$-8$ a pound but it is worth it. Heads up, the food is weighed! No parking lot. Parking is horrible but depending on the time you go, you may be able to find something close by. read more

DELICIOUS FOOD DIVERSITY! This is a great place to get any of the things you're craving. You literally can't go wrong with this place! You can make your own salad or choose the ones they have, or make a healthy shake or buy the ones that are already made. You can literally satisfy any craving here! read more

I visit Gourmet on a weekly basis, literally every Saturday. Don't let the location fool you this place is a such a gem I may just cry if it ever closed. They have three buffets (cold, hot and vegetarian), sandwiches to die for, pizzas, and so much more. Everything is hand made and the staff is super nice. Pros: everything. Great authentic hand made food that has Never disappointed. Cons: they are not opened Sunday's. Cheers read more

Excellent. Clean bathroom and place. The cooks and juice bar staff excellent. The cashiers seem disconnected from the customers. Like they are bored. But they're very polite. Food is excellent and I do appreciate the diversity of the staff. If you don't want to cook this is the place to go to. Excellent place for vegans and the vegan foods are separated from the meats. The selection is the same however there's so much to choose from. I don't get the impression that this place has any hidden nasty kitchen. The staff seems very proud of what the cook and prepare. The male cooks and juice bar is pretty cool. I like it. What can improve is the labeling of the food because sometimes I don't know what something is however there is always someone willing and ready to explain. There's always someone wiping and keeping the place clean. The parking lot gets full during lunch time. Here you will see NYPD Pelham Police and NYFD stopping in to pick up lunch. The food is healthy eating and they do a very good job. read more

My breakfast sandwich was delicious. Don't expect the salads and other deli items to be anything extremely different than other stores. Deli items are self serve, even in large quantities. Ample indoor seating, clean, rather peaceful. read more

This place owns all buffetts , the food isn't cheap stuff you find at other places . I have not found something I don't like yet

We love the juices and the food. My son wants the breaded chicken cutlets. The collards greens are great and they have a huge selection of salads. We're big fans. read more

This is a hidden gem in Pelham. The food is fresh, made on the spot, and the selection is beyond. They have MANY salad options. I usually get the green spinach salad and pick out toppings. They do serve breakfast between specific hours, I never actually got breakfast from them but when I do go pick up Vegan, Dairy Free overnight oats - I always see and smell the crispy bacon, toasty french toast and more. A wide selection of fresh premade juices and you can make your own on the spot. Coffee... their ICED CAPPUCCINO gives me LIFE. Pricing? does not get any better than Gourmet Express. Always prefer this over Fairway or anything else that is around. XO read more

I've lived near this restaurant for over 15 years and went there for the first time today. All I can say is OMGEEE!! I had a few items from the hot and cold salad bars, soup and hot ginger tea. Amazing!!!!! My 7yo son also loved his food and he's a very picky eater. I will DEFINITELY be back!!! read more

Awsome place,not cheap,but you pay for quality. You can not see without picking a little of everything! Sandwiches is made in perfect way,love this place and who doesn't agree,then back to your Bronx hole rat infected glory deli read more

Love this hidden gem! From the outside, it doesn't look like much. However, give it a chance. They have salad bars and hot food area as well - where you serve yourself. They also make chopped salads, which are good. My favorite was the juice bar. They have some delicious smoothies and juices! This is right by my gym, so it is a very convenient spot- with affordable prices. read more

Never in my life did I expect to face brazen homophobia but that is exactly what happened during my interaction with an employee at Gourmet Express... I was a frequent customer of Gourmet Express, often patronizing the eatery with my girlfriend. We had previously noticed stares coming from an employee who managed the soup station but didn't mull it over much. One afternoon I visited Gourmet Express alone to purchase lunch. After I finished browsing the buffet options and began walking towards the soup station the employee that managed the soup station said abruptly and loudly "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. What you are doing is wrong." After hearing him I immediately froze...I had experienced, what I consider, an obnoxious, homophobic, intrusion of my life and never expected to. After I collected my thoughts I asked a neighboring employee for the manager. After I recounted what happened to the manager they said "...well, he's old school" and "I can only imagine what you have previously gone through, you have experienced this before". Needless to say, this lack of response left me unwelcome and unsafe at Gourmet Express read more

Always has been and always will be a mainstay in my diet. Gourmet international has EVERYTHING you want. Healthy food, tasty food, pizzas, focaccia sandwiches, salads made fresh, another fruit and salad bar. Full juice bar and smoothies and still has a dessert section. Food is paid for by weight so please exercise restraint lol. read more

Gourmet Express - Breakfast buffet. No meat. - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

I love options and good flavor (when they don't add jalapeno flavor to usual dishes) I frequent this place. Its not fancy place and you can sit down to eat. No alcohol. Just good old healthy food along with some great healthy unique music. Try it - you may like it as much as I. read more

Talk about Variety! This place has it all...from the salad bar, the deli, the grill, the smoothie bar, the buffet hot foods, the huge selection of drinks. Great places to go with a good appetite and enjoy many different types of food. Outdoor and indoor seating in the spring/summer make a it a good choice for a lunch spot! Warning: the food is by weight so if you fill it up be prepared to pay. But overall great place! read more

This place has change so much. I remember over 15 years ago coming here and it was so different. The food now it's better then before. It was always a good place but it's gotten better. My only wish is that they would have napkins or paper towels available as you are getting food because sometimes you can make a mess on yourself as you're choosing your food. Also they need to be consistent with signage on what the food is. Otherwise the place is good. read more

I love this place. Large variety, well prepared foods and reasonably priced for the quality!! Sometimes they switch up a couple menu items (like my prized empanadas) which can be both heartbreaking and exciting depending on what you get. But there's always great options for lunch and dinner regardless read more

Eating here makes me feel like a human being again as I tend to grab lunch from fast food and take-out joints. Real good food eaten in a relaxed atmosphere amongst good people. I drive out of my way to get to Gourmet Express. read more

Gourmet Express - Outdoor cafe seating available - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

This is one of my favorite places to go. I was introduced to Gourmet two years ago and have been going here since. The experience here can be costly because the food is weighted and your eye will want everything in sight. The food is absolutely delicious. I have not had one bad experience in my many visits to this location. Once you've come here, you will not want go to any fast food place again. You may miss the cheap prices, but you love the quality of the food. read more

This place is a gem!! Food for all, healthy, salty, sweet, vegan options! So gooood! By far the best juice bar in this part!

this place is so damn good. great options and super friendly staff!

This little diamond in the rough is not easy to find. My brother actually told me about this place. I'm not really a fan of buffets (germs). But it's clean and the food is fresh. You get your good and pay by weight. The fresh juice selection is amazing. I always get the African ginger beer or green juice. The staff is really helpful and friendly. You can dine in cafeteria style or grab and go. read more

Omg!! This place has everything you can possible imagine at a reasonable price and homemade to boot. I had the stuffed fish and it was to die for. This is the best kept secret in the area!! read more

I am in love with this place! Too bad it's so far from my home or work, because I'd eat there every day. There is a cold salad bar, sandwiches and pizzas, hot food, smoothies and fruit shakes, baked goods, all sorts of fancy organic / coconut water drinks (as well as the Coca-Cola products), and healthy snacks. The vegetables and fruits in the cold salad bar are fresh, crisp or ripe. There are also grilled vegetables, a number of oils/vinegars/dressings/nuts and seeds for toppings. The hot food bar had both poultry/meat and vegetarian options. The prices are very reasonable. I live next to two different Whole Foods, and they should cower in shame. read more

This place is great! Its buffet style and has a large selections of hot foods, cold salads, sandwitches, natural juices, coffee, dessert, drinks. There's so much choice, you can't go wrong! read more

First time there was recommended by a friend. I can honestly say the place is aesthetically pleasing the lighting and decorations were beautiful placed, making it appear like a vintage market. Now down to the food, it's a buffet style place with a large selection of food but it's a bit overwhelming I had the stir fried veggies which tasted greasy and burnt, grilled chicken that had no seasoning honestly I didn't get the reasoning, teriyaki chicken which was extremely underwhelming and some Mac and cheese that lacked a bit of Mac. And I forgot to mention EXTREMELY OVER PRICE! read more

It's nice to have healthy food choices around your neighborhood. I love coming here, I look forward to what the offer on a particular day. The salad bar is AWESOME, lots of great choices. Love the fish here as well. Gets very crowded at lunch time so plan accordingly! read more

The food here is amazing. The staff can be a little bit nicer when greeting the guests but other then that it's definitely worth every penny. The food is always fresh and hot. One of my favs. read more

At first glance the place looks like a factory when you walk in, But maybe that's the look that they were going for. Don't go for the ambiance go for the food. I visit this place a couple times a week the food is always fresh and tasty. There is always different items to choose from the buffet style menu. read more

This place is amazing! You could eat here everyday for a month and never repeat the same meal! The food here is always fresh and delicious. It's an open kitchen environment where you can see the chefs go at it all day long as they prep and cook up the freshest meals in Pelham. You leave here feeling good, the ambiance is a European feel- reminds me of Mario Batali's EATALY. So many food stations: hot and cold vegetarian, make your own salad at their enormous salad bar which has cold pastas, veggies, fruits, nuts, good quality dressings and much more or have your salad made for you. A-la-carte sandwiches, wraps and paninis on their fresh focaccia or any other of their available breads. You can also pick up one of their already prepared specialty sandwiches, hot hero's, or calzone like deliciousness.... the hot food buffet is sectioned: fish cooked in many different ways, pastas, to die for meatballs, sausage, chicken cooked in many different ways, beef, shredded pork shoulder, fried chicken, corned beef with cabbage & potatoes, different types of rice, beans, rice and beans! Lentils, garbanzo beans, grains etc... not to be missed - the empanadas!!! I can't say enough about this gem of a place- I'm sure I've missed something- just get there and see for yourself... oh and did I mention the at least 15 different fresh in store made juices - AMAZING! Yes, they have dessert - Try the FLAN! One last important detail that garners a mention- great music that you can actually enjoy as you sit and have a meal if you so choose to eat in - I love this place! read more
