    Had this restaurant in my radar for a while.... I recommend not go there when they open at 12:30 ..I just think they are not ready .....I would say come at 1pm or 2pm or later But asides that , this is the real deal , clean and David treats you so nice .. David is the MAN !!... My first visit I had the chicken shawarma...I asked David build it like you like it ..... Folks that was such a delicious shawarma ....if you are a vegetarian you don't need meat in a shawarma....the chicken awesome , the filling with veggies awesome ...... So if you are a vegetarian definitely come visit ...there is plenty for vegetarians... My second visit was at dinner around 7pm ....there lots of activity here ,people and families do come here ,it's good food ... So I ordered the kosher steak (medium ) ,hummus, fries ,some spicy salad and a cold salad and the best thing of all you can bring your own BEER.... I was so happy to accompany that meal with a beer .... Wow that steak was delicious, I'm salivating as I write this ...it did not need anything to enhance it ...illl be there again for that steak ... The veggies hummus WOW !!!!!! I recommend this place to anyone ...it's a Kosher restaurant you can dress casual you will see orthodox people eat there. But don't let that intimidate you ...the owner is very welcoming ...we are all there to eat . ......I drove 8 miles 2 times to eat here . Well worth the trip ....this is the REAL deal ....come here , you won't regret it ...

    This smelled so good I ate half of it before I remembered to snap a pic. This is the Jerusalem mixed grill laffa sandwich.

    If you are a vegetarian, I'm sure you can find something tasty to eat at Monsey BBQ (kosher meat restaurant), but this review won't tell you how to order that. This review is for people who want char grilled meat seasoned and prepared in classic middle-eastern style. There are flavors here that are very hard to find outside of the few square blocks of Jerusalem where they were first created, so this little eatery saves me scads of shoe leather and lots of rowing. At least, it used to. My family almost didn't stop here due to a less-than-stellar visit some 2 years ago. On that occasion, the service was less than friendly and we couldn't wait to get back on the road. The usual proprietor had been out that day and the substitute staff lacked David's welcoming way. Today, however, David was back at his post and we felt right at home. We noticed a sharp new sign outside and a remodeled interior that felt clean and new. Thankfully, what the updated menu board gained in style it didn't lose in old school content. We ordered burger specials for the little ones, a shwarma pita for my wife, and for me, the crown jewel of Holy Land street food, the Jerusalem mixed grill. Yes sir. My wife's pita was freshly baked and slightly charred exactly the way it should be. She tells me the meaty bits were crispy-edged and tender. She gave our boys samples and they quickly asked for more. Wifey topped it with hummous, pickles and chopped salad. The kids's burger specials surprised me with their kebab spices and perfect grill marks. You get to choose from a wide variety of toppings at the counter, so every burger is unique. The fries looked thin and crispy, but I didn't try them because my Jerusalem mixed grill laffa sandwich was ready and my time for playful table tourism was done. For those who have never had the pleasure, the JMG sandwich is a grilled goodness party and my tastebuds were screaming "YOLO!!" Shwarma, grilled onions, chicken livers, chicken hearts, bits of lamb and whatever else the grillmaster has on hand get chopped, spiced and seared into a hot mess of delicious. I had mine on a big fluffy laffa bread filled with hummous, pickles, grilled eggplant, chopped salad, tahini, hot pepper sauce and rolled into a cylindrical instrument of appetite destruction. Seriously, Slash would be proud, and also...not hungry. If you aren't feeling this adventurous, stick with the shwarma and schnitzel. You can't go wrong. Thanks, David! We definitely won't stay away long this time.

    The hard lemonade was perfect, not too sweet, & the paw paw cake was addictively sweet and salty.

    It's a trek and a half to get to Monsey from Northshore LI in rush hour traffic for that matter but…read morewhen a seasoned chef from a much adored and missed restaurant opens up a new joint how can you not go?! Beast BBQ's soft opening last night was anything but soft, and I mean that in the best way possible. Service was on point, their servers were on it like white on rice the entire night. Food was plentiful and delicious with a nice service flow from the kitchen, my dinner party table mates were the best of the best, and to top it off chef Moses cracked a huge smile! Stands outs of the evening for me were: ~ Boneless melt in your mouth sliced short ribs ~ Smoked tongue ~ Pastrami ~ Ridiculously crispy Chicken wings ~ Grilled corn ~ Onions rings with a herbed batter and french fries ~ Lemon Meringue (but wasn't lemon but a different fruit) ~ A meringue layered with a heavenly pawpaw fruit cream Also the delicious and inventive dipping sauces reminiscent of those days from his Pardes days were a memorable treat! Communal seating and an open kitchen concept make the space both warm and welcoming. Can wait to see this place get even better! Opening this Sunday at 5, be there!

    When we moved to MonseyLand a lifetime ago,we resigned ourselves to a few things;…read more1)When you hear terms like "walking distance" remember the focus is on "distance" not "walking" 2)Urban survival skills like parallel parking will atrophy faster than you can say "parking meter" 3)Monsey will never be home to the latest/greatest/newest/coolest kosher dining destinations--yes, there'll be nice places that deliver a respectable dining experience, but if you're looking for "the next" in terms of worth the trip from anywhere, intensely delicious, innovative fare, prepare to look elsewhere, because in THAT department(and this is just my opinion) Monsey follows (albeit rather respectably), rather than leads. Though based on our visit to the Beast BBQ, right here in scenic Wesley Hills, that's all about to change. Why? In terms of bona-fides, Beast BBQ is the creation of rockstar chef Moses Wendel aka the guy who gave us the legendary "worth the trip from anywhere even tho it's not a steakhouse" Pardes. Now with Beast, he's proving that Pardes wasn't a fluke, but a 1st act, with Beast BBQ being a 2nd act that's every bit as impressive and game-changing(plus WAY closer for his fans in 845). In short, a Moses Wendel-style total reboot on the "kosher-cue/smokehouse genre.The vibe? Unpretentious. The food? Unbelievable. While the menu is refreshingly straightforward, our group still asked the exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff for suggestions, which is why we ended up working our way through tongue, brisket pastrami, pastrami 'tater-tots, pulled beef, a stew, fries, baked beans, a kale-ish salad, jammed with an assortment of flavorfully meaty mushrooms and topped with a light as air donut-like savory crust that was "hiding" a monstrously moist chicken fillet. Before I get even more ahead of myself, let me share the basics--at least the way my tastebuds "see" it. Chef Wendel's brand is equal parts inventive--as in being able to coax awesome new flavors and textures from timeless standards, and inventor--as in coming up with spankin' new "from scratch" concepts, that cause your mouth to break into a sweat just from reading the menu and inhaling the heady tho not heavy aroma("Breath of the Beast" air freshener anyone?)In terms of inventive, his spin on classic deli one-upped(and then some) Shmulks, the Grand Deli, Hess and most every other deli-mecca of my quasi-misspent youth. His pastrami is the perfect mix of fatty & lean, which creates the perfect mix of "chewy-juiciness"--all wrapped in a smokey-spicey tang thats both familiar and fresh at the same time. The tongue was in a word epic. Soft enough to slice with nothing more than a cutting look, yet rich in bold and nuanced flavors, Wendlels take on tongue was simultaneously like and unlike my "best in class" tongue sandwiches/entrees/appetizers/etc. Or to put it another way, certain members of our group who weren't fans of the fine art of deli (let alone deli that's been tweaked craft-smokehouse/BBQ style), started with tentative tastings and ended up polishing off more than their fare share of Wendel's deli fare. Lucky for me, I was raised "Catskill style", so once I saw everyone deep-diving for deli, my instinct for self-preservation kicked in and I squirreled some tongue, pastrami, etc away "for later"--which turned out to be a good call. As we continued plowing through our version of a "sampling menu", I paused "mid-fress", to ask our server where they get their breads and rolls from, as their rye bread was far superior to every bakery classic I know and love. She told me that all baked goods, as well as sauces, toppings, creams, condiments garnishes etc are all created in-house by Moses and his massively talented crew. In short, no matter the menu item, everything from seasoning to smoking to slicing to serving(wanted to keep the alliteration going sorry) is all done on the authentically unpretentious premises. Like Pardes,at Beast BBQ every detail matters,from the bar's collection of liquors, custom cocktails and craft beers, to the desserts toppings(and bottomings)--which btw included the richest yet lightest "cocoalate" mousse I ever tasted, to the type of veggies in the stew, even the seasoning on the fries is so perfect, using ketchup is akin to blasphemy. Plus, his interpretation on classic BBQ joint "sides" like baked beans, coleslaw & potato salad, are a fresh step up from the standard. Bottom line? Chef Moses has created a gourmet "promised land" called Beast BBQ. As it's me, there has to be at least one kvetch & here it is; Re their remarkable, densely delicious rye-bread, be advised its slices are more crescent/biscotti-shaped vs the typical slab-like slices used in old-school deli sandwiches. Actually, the fact the place was busy after 9 pm on a Tuesday nite IN MONSEY, says it all. PS; to our friends in 212,718,516,201,973,908,914, etc,feel free to text us 'hello' when you're done experiencing the Beast BBQ in (believe it or not)Monsey

    Absolutely delicious deli. I ordered first cut corn, beef, potato salad, sour pickle l, the food…read morewas very fresh.

    This place has been a local staple for several years, and sadly, it has steadily declined…read more We were in there today 04/15/2024 during lunch hour, and there were only two tables with people, including ours. We felt the hot dogs were rubbery in texture, and they tasted like they were reheated. The matzoh ball soup was bland. My mother enjoyed her pastrami sandwich. As far as atmosphere goes, the first table we sat at was wobbly. and when we transfered to the other, we found the table and season shakers to be sticky. The greatest disappointment was not the mediocre food, or the sticky table but what we witnessed. An elderly couple was sitting at the other table. The gentleman asked a server, possibly the owner or manager, for a glass of tap water. The response from the server was, "We don't have glasses of water here, but you can buy a bottle and I'll bring your two cups." We found this to be uncourteous and unwelcoming, and we felt a little embarassed for the nice couple. It seems that when a nice couple comes in to patronize your restaurant, and purchase a lunch, a little water would not be an unreasonable request. Any restaurant that treats elderly people this way will not receive my future business.
