Even though they have best pastrami and pickles at $18 a sandwich... Now higher price to $22 a sandwich & you get 15% les pastrami .... and I wanted a slice of cheese on my pastrami sandwich.... getting very cheap. Don't even ask for an extra pickle they wanna charge you two extra dollars like $22 is not enough for a five dollar sandwich. I will never go back there again Every few months they increase the price and you get less and less stoop lower than low charging you two dollars extra for pickles when you're ready paid $22 for a five dollar ..... save your money eat at home. read more

We went to this supposedly Kosher deli and found it sells Chinese food and not much traditional Jewish fare. Although the order taker at the counter said it offered Reuben's, out came a pastrami on untoasted/ungrilled white bread with no cheese or sauerkraut. The cost was $20. So disappointed read more

Not Jewish here. Was passed over multiple times. Very disrespectful especially given the prices won't be back !

Excellent shawarma, good salad bar as well, fried hot pepper and eggplant is great with the shawarma. Will definitely be back.

Great selection of food and reasonable prices. Very much in the flavor of an Israeli restaurant, but with a hint of New York tossed in.

Eighteen years ago I used to come here for lunch once a week when I worked nearby at 10 West 46th street but i had not been here since. Then today I attended a conference nearby and decided to pay them a visit. The restaurant still looks the same - well maybe a bit cleaner - but I was somewhat taken back how it was half empty at 12:30 PM on a Thursday. Back then I'd come here for the cholent which at the time was pretty flavorful but today because I can get good cholent in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, I decided to taste their shwarma. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The meat was rather bland compared to the well seasoned shwarma I used to eat at Famous Pita in Brooklyn (before they closed) and in Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in Israel (though I must admit it is a lot cheaper to get to Kosher Deluxe from Brooklyn than to Haifa!). The included array of vegetables were plentiful but a bit under seasoned. On the positive side, the tahini was flavorful and the hot sauce (which I only had because the customer in front of me requested it tipping me off to ask as well) had a nice kick to it. Prices are in line with other (overpriced) Kosher Manhattan eateries and most of the employees were friendly when I talked with them. read more

Kosher Deluxe - Shwarma! - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

The $10 falafel sandwich with complimentary salad bar did the job but unfortunately was not particularly good. Albeit not terrible, there are so many falafel options throughout the city, from local based shops to chain restaurants, that I feel I must be critical. The falafel did not have much flavor except salty and fried. The green in my falafel was missing completely. They slather some hummus on the pita which provided some creamy flavor but there was no tzatziki or hot sauce. I took some of the mango sauce to go but once I smelled it, I decided to skip, just didn't seem fresh or natural. The salad bar was decent but I just didn't enjoy it. Maybe it was the seasonings or quality of the ingredients, something was off. The sweet potatoes were good but the eggplant just tasted oily. There are tables and chairs available for sit down but I just took my food to go. I would've been happy to find a local gem near my office but Kosher Deluxe just doesn't cut it in my opinion. Spend your $10 elsewhere. Some of the street carts right on 46th St. have some really amazing options. read more

Yuckaroo. I've been a bit under the weather and got it in my head that I needed matzoh ball soup ASAP. Headed over to Kosher Deluxe with high hopes...hopes that were quickly and utterly destroyed when I took my first bite. The soup tasted canned and had one of the sorriest matzoh balls I've ever seen; tiny, fractured, and dense. They also gave me a small bag of stale bread to throw in. Nice accompaniment! My girl's pastrami sandwich came on "rye bread" that had terribly soft crust and stuck to the roof of your mouth like Wonder Bread. The meat tasted pre-packaged and not fresh sliced like most delis. Overall...heinous. I kicked myself for not walking out the door immediately after seeing chicken nuggets, lo mein, and sushi on the menu board. This combo of items in any single restaurant is, without a doubt, the clearest possible sign that you are about to experience an utter catastrophe for the taste buds. Oh, and for what it's worth...this place smells and the floor and tables are filthy. I have to wonder, are the people rating this 3 stars or better doing so because it's good Kosher food or simply good food? As a stand alone meal, it was without a doubt one of the worst I've ever had in any restaurant, Jewish or otherwise. Avoid like the Ten Plagues. read more

Best salad. Nice people. This place is a gem. But it's a monster business I love it read more

2.5 stars. It ain't cheap for what it is, and the physical plant has been hard worn by high volumes. But, the location is prime, and you can get middle eastern, chinewish (that's Jewish chinese food), ny deli and God knows what else. The pastrami was feh, though still ok and not too lean. The hummus was strong as was the felafel. The half-sour was blech. read more

Great kosher food but very high prices. The lunch specials are not a bad deal, though. Excellent corned beef, pastrami , brisket and turkey, Stuffed cabbage a little to sweet for my taste. Skip the deserts read more

I work a couple blocks away, so I starting going to Kosher Deluxe about once a week for the past few months. I usually ordered a burger, and occasionally, I would bite into an unidentifiable piece of something hard or gristly, but I usually let that slide, because it's quick and easy. Also, because I never had to deal with them messing up my order before. Unfortunately, that was not the case last Friday. I ordered a burger as I have previously, with no pickles or ketchup, and I checked the printout when I picked it up to make sure, as I always do. However, when I arrived back at work, lo and behold both ketchup and pickles were present, and my lunch ruined. My lunch break is not flexible, so I had no time to return to the store. I figured oh well, it happens. I'll just call them and see what they are willing to do. What a disaster. I could not believe how rude the lady I spoke to on the phone was after I told her what happened. She first told me I would have to go back and return the burger before they would do anything, because they didn't believe me. When I told her this was not possible, because I did not have enough time on my lunch break, she put me on hold while she went to get a manager. She never put the manager on the phone, though, instead she simply told there was nothing they could do, even when I asked for a credit instead of a refund. I then offered to send them pictures, because I am adamant when people think I am lying. She gave me an email to send the photos to, and she said they would credit my card after verifying them. Then, she gave a brief, insincere apology (the first I'd gotten out of the entire call), and hung up. I sent the email and have gotten no response and no credit. I've decided to upload the pictures here in an effort to warn others to stay away from this establishment. read more

It's a Kosher deli lunch spot establishment with salad bar and plenty of tables. Food: The shawarma + salad bar was pretty solid. The sauces: they were pretty tasty as well. The meat is right off the rotisserie skewer. The wrap/pita comes with hummus and meat which was not bad either. Staff: Everyone was straight business What else can you expect? read more

Only have had delivery from this place. The order was done through seamless.com and so no worries there. Food came piping hot and very quickly might add. Ordered their cholent, side order of stuffed derma and a matzo ball soup. The broth was absolutely delicious! Not too salty and definitely not bland. I liked that the noodles still had a little bite to them and weren't just soggy mush. The one complaint I did have was that the motzo ball itself was TINY! delicious but come on people make the ball bigger please! Stuffed Derma was very good and so was the accompanying gravy. Wasn't too dry by itself and had a nice texture. The Cholent was again satisfying but nothing like homemade. It wasn't as sweet as I like from a homemade one, but still very palatable. Definitely will order from here again, will update review once I've tried their other items. read more

This place has some bangin' shawarma. It's definitely the best I've had in midtown. Can't go wrong with the falafel either. Side note: Coolest motto in midtown? "Make your food kosher...but keep it deluxe." That's just pure fire right there. Pure. Fire. When you order make sure to get the platter. They hand you a little plastic container and you can fill it till it's bulging open with whatever veggies you want. They have the usual Middle Eastern standards - pickles, carrots, peppers, cabbage, etc. Everything's pretty awesome so don't be afraid to pack it in there. If there's any air, you're going to be disappointed. It comes out to like 12 buck so not the cheapest thing in the world but you will be FULL! Come hungry or bring a friend. If you don't have a friend...and you're not hungry...then bring a doggie bag. read more

I am addicted to their shwarma, so I go here for lunch at least once a week. Shwarma is roasted lamb from a skewer; it's a mediterranean thing. The guy behind the counter (right at the door when you walk in ) is very skilled at preparing the food on the spot, he's like a machine and you can tell he's been doing it for a while. The rest of their menu is not very good, don't even bother, just go for: "Shwarma on a baguette with humus and hot sauce to go". And don't forget to grab some mediterranean salads too. My favorite is the tomatoes. read more

best food. ever. nice staff. fast service. highly recommended. good prices for the huge portions served. read more

This place makes the best shwarma!! The falafel is very good too. I have only ordered those two items because they are so good I would hate myself if I ordered anything else. The area right inside the door is where you order and I always get the shwarma on baguette with hummus and hot sauce. The guy at the counter has been making these for many years and does it like he could do it in his sleep, the man is a shwarma making machine!! They have a ton of great self serve salads that you can load up on included with your sandwich; pickles, cukes & onions, spicy tomatoes, slaw, hot peppers, pickled beets, red cabbage, etc. Ask for some of the homemade hot sauce, it's behind the counter and adds an intense but delicious kick to the shwarma. Plenty of seating in the cafeteria-like eating area, it's short on ambiance much like the whole place. In the back of this place they sell everything from Chinese to burgers, obviously kosher, and if you're coming for sushi or fried chicken check the other reviews, all I know is the counter in the front with the shwarma and falafel dishes out some of the best sandwiches I've ever had!!!! I stick with what they do best!!!! read more

We (co-workers) stopped in here for lunch and it was fine. Decor: It's a standard deli-ish lunch spot - food serving stations, salad bar, plenty of tables. It doesn't give off the most "clean" vibe, but it isn't, by any means, visibly dirty. In fact, all the tables were perfectly clean and a guy actually came around to throw away our trash (impressive). Bathroom: didn't use it (if there is one...) Staff: Everyone was pretty straight business but the guy who cleaned up our trash (not sure if he was going out of his way or they always do this) was very nice. Food: We all had the shawarma + salad bar and it was pretty solid. The sauces they had were pretty tasty as well. They seem to have a pretty extensive menu so I wonder what the other food is like... Value: You pay, and get a level of service, about what you would expect. It's definitely something different and will now be considered when thinking of where to grab lunch. read more

Just a review of the falafel... to go: *YUM!* I could really taste the chickpeas; this is a tan-colored falafel, not green. A whole pile of it comes in a big, spongy pita, with hummus. You can fill up your pita and a small plastic bowl they give you with fixin's from the bar: eggplant, health salad, pickles, various slaws, etc. Your basic Israeli-style falafel. The place at lunchtime has a rush-rush frantic energy, but in decent weather you can go eat in the outdoor space down the block towards 6th Ave. read more

I don't know why my previous review had 3 stars. This place had some of the best Jewish food in New York. Brisket, Knishes, Kishka, everything is delicious. Prices are fair, remember it is Kosher. Variety of the menu is incredible they have everything. Chinese, mexican, american, salads. Great Location near 5th avenue, in the diamond district. read more

Not too bad. Came for the infamous pita/gyro/shwarma + salad buffet. Came out to $13 after tax. The shwarma meat is real flavorful lamb (i think) right off the rotisserie skewer. The wrap/pita comes with hummus and meat which was nice - no fillers. They give you a plastic container (if you order 'to go') that can hold about 1lb of salad bar food that's included. The salad bar had a decent mix of about 8 items. 3 different slaws, baked eggplant, cucumber salad, pickles, peppers, and some other stuff. The slaws and eggplant were real good. So if you plug in the numbers you're essentially getting a lamb pita for $7 (the usual rate) and then a lb of salad for $5. All in all, good food but a bit expensive If you're in the mood for meat in a pita, you can a few bucks by stopping at just about any Halal cart you pass by on the walk over here read more

Either the owner or manager was Unfriendly. I'm an israeli jew with tattoos that are visible and as soon as I walked in I can tell I was being judged and stared at. Ordered 2 patato burekas they heated it up in the microwave and was charged $9.65 They were soggy and the patato filling was bland. I was so angry and wanted to go back but I chose to write this review instead. Never going back in fact I own a barbershop on the same block and I will make sure to tell all my costumers to stay out to avoid bad service and a horrible experience all together read more

Decided to go out for a late bite to eat with a few friends who frequent kosher eateries. Decided to get the chicken sesame chicken even though it had a (highway robbery) price of $25!!!! Twenty-five dollars!! I specifically ordered it in a to-go box cuz I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat it all in one sitting, & I wanted to save myself a trip back to the counter. The food comes out, and I stay at the table and watch the belongings of the group. My friend brings me my food, and my tray contains my order on a styrofoam plate, along with an empty to-go container. Okay, totally valid, I completely understand forgetting to pack it up!! THEN my friend let me know that the container was old and reused. The server half assed rinsed it out and then handed it to over to give to me. The container looks oily and gross and USED! And I just paid $25!!! 25 dollars!!! So I politely go up to the counter and I say: "hi, can I please have a new container? This one is reused, and is dirty". And the man starts YELLING AT ME "THIS IS A PERFECTLY GOOD CONTAINER!!!". So I calmly reply "can I please have a new container? I see you have a stack of fresh containers." He replies (yelling): "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM??? It's perfectly fine! You want me to just waste money and give you a different container, when this one is perfectly fine? What am I going to do with this container now?? What do you expect me to do??". I said: "I don't know what you are going to do with that container, but I am a paying customer here and I would like a new container" ($25.00!!!!). He then practically throws the container at me across the counter!! The AUDACITY! I wanted to take my expensive food home, and I wasn't going to place it in that receptacle. Thinking back, I can't exactly vouch for the cleanliness of the food once my food was given to me along with a dirty container. Would not recommend! read more

Only because they have seating am I giving three stars. Too cold to get a falafel from Moshe on the street and seems soom soom has closed. Very uninspiring falafel. A generous fixings bar but all ingredients past their prime. If basic is okay for you, it will do. If you want better, look elsewhere read more

Unreal! I asked someone for my office to pick me up a Tuna Fish sandwich on rye with lettuce and tomatoes. It arrived without a pickle or cole slaw. For which I paid over $14! Shame on them! read more

Making light of the stereotypes about one's own people can be very funny and a nice way to move beyond any actual hurt caused by them in the past. The Irish embrace their drinking. Italians play mobsters on TV. Asians write restaurant reviews. And so on. That being said, I submit the following. While on a secret mission in midtown, I decided to stop here and get some comfort food for lunch. I ordered the shawarma pita, which was well-stuffed and came with access to a bounty of Israeli salad toppings. I then went to the register and had the following interaction: Moshe: Shawarma pita? Are you sure there's nothing else in there? Evan: Yes. Moshe: Are you sure? Evan: Yes. Moshe: ::gently lifts up my pita with a knife to check:: Okay, that will be $12. Evan: ::pays:: Thanks. I needed some good Jewish food today. Moshe: ::hands Evan a $5 off coupon:: Here, enjoy this next time you're here. Evan: Thanks..I hope to make it back! Moshe: What do you mean? Where did you come here from? Evan: Home, just happened to be in the neighborhood. Moshe: So you don't work here? These coupons are expensive. Evan: Well....? If I am close by, I'd love to come back? Moshe: I doubt this will be used. Thank you. ::takes coupon back:: You should have told me up front that you don't work around here. You know...you spend centuries trying to combat this sort of perception. I feel like stealing a coupon back is the sort of meta-cheap that takes years to perfect. FWIW, the shawarma was a bit dry; the salad and toppings were surprisingly wonderful. read more

Pass the kishke plz. This place is literally a kitchen sink of kosher eats with everything from traditional dishes like cholent to "Chinese" (lolwut) to good ole falafel and shwarma. It's not the best ever but it gets the job done if you have a half hour to preserve the covenant in a big lunchroom with Diamond District folk. read more

Fast Food..and its Kosher, what can you expect. The burgers I had from here were lackluster but the next time I came back, I had the shawarma and that was rather good! The burger or chines food line can be ing or daunting, but the shwarma line was non existent. Decent city prices. read more

Great place for a quick fast-food lunch. The restaurant reminds me of a food court, and the atmosphere is very plain, but then again this isn't where you go for a leisurely sit-down meal. Service was FAST, around 5 minutes from ordering to eating. They have American, Israeli & Chinese cuisine to choose from (got to love the Jewish palate), and I got just a burger which was very good. I also got some chicken noodle soup which was actually really impressive; better than the same type of soup I ordered the night before at a much more upscale restaurant. Overall, the food was good, service was good, and I'd come back here again for sure. read more

We ordered lunch from here today since we needed a kosher meal for a client. Their chicken soup was extremely tasty, as was the knish. I will be ordering the knish regularly. I have sampled Alex S's shawarma and enjoyed it myself. The winner for me is the black and white cookie. Ahhhmazing. Fresh. Just the right amount of sweet. Delish. read more

Our firm had some lunch catered from here and I was impressed since kosher catered food never impresses me... But this was... Deluxe. (I'm great with words). I liked the grilled chicken skewer platter I had since it was filling and seasoned well enough, but the Israeli salad (which a lot of people consider Turkish and its just cucumbers and tomatoes chopped up) was very very bland and the quality of tomatoes was just not good-- no lemon juice, herbs or salt even!! What? But why? Anyways, the chicken was a BIT pink- not undercooked but pink and I can't stomach that even though it was very tasty (maybe if it was dark I would have eaten it all). Matzoh ball soup is average- with the selection in the area, I am being picky with the soup. I give it a 3 because it was still good catered food-- but I wouldn't walk into the place. read more

Great glatt kosher take out food. Wide variety of dishes-traditional "heimish" meat dishes like roasts and cholent, great chinese dishes, deli sandwiches, burgers, shawarma, falaffel and steaks. You can eat in the restaurant though don`t expect more than a "mc donald`s" or canteen type of atmosphere. Take out and door to door delivery are also possible. The restaurant now does make sushi platters on demand-have not tried them. When I was there the food was fresh, of great taste and very reasonably priced. (for Manhattan and Glatt kosher!) read more

My office is around the corner, so I though I'd try to get a nice corned beef on rye. I went in as the mashgeach (if you knew, you'd know) was on his way our for a smoke. Walked to the back and ordered my CB on rye with russian, And a Dr. Brown'c Cel-ray. Back at the office I opened the plastic clamshell to reveal a measly portion of indifferently-sliced, tough corned beef on really crappy rye. Where was the russian? No russian. The indian kitchen staff must have decided that I was more of a mustard guy, so they threw in some packets of yellow deli mustard. Feh. At least Dr. Brown delivered. Next time, the food truck on the corner. read more
