2-28-26. I know the Regal has been around for a long time but this was my first time here. It's an unassuming storefront that's connected to a barber shop and although it's located at a pretty busy intersection, it's easy to miss (as far as I'm concerned). So I tried "keplach soup" for the first time and it was enjoyable. I didn't even know what keplach was until I googled it while looking at the menu. If you're not aware it's similar to a perogies, or a ravioli or a wonton (you get my point). The dough however is a little thicker and it's cooked in the consomme broth. It wasn't the most flavorful soup I've ever tried, but it was good nevertheless. The potato pancake, although fried, was a lot lighter than I thought it was going to be. Nice crunch with good potato flavor. The pastrami Reuben on a club roll was very satisfying. I usually order it on rye bread but was in the mood to have it on a roll today. It held up well and didn't fall apart or get mushy like rye bread usually does. Pastrami was sliced thin and had a nice (but mild) flavor. Decent sized sandwich and prices are on par with all the other kosher delis in Long Island. Service was fast and friendly. They had plenty of other tasty looking items in the display case as soon as you walk in. Maybe next time I'll try something different (again). It wasn't outstanding (3.5 stars), but it was a good meal and it warrants a return visit. read more

Bought a pastrami sandwich for takeout. Pastrami was horrible. Looked like old leftover pieces and was full of gristle. Expensive disappointment. In general the place looks old and tired and would benefit from a renovation. Won't be going back. read more

Best pastrami in nassau county with great service and reasonable prices. I stop by whenever im in the area.

It was just okay. I remember going here when I was younger with my grandparents and it's been a very long time since I've been back. To start, pickles and coleslaw. Pickles were great and had that perfect crunch. Coleslaw was good and different as it isn't made with Mayo. Potato pancakes. Eh. A little underwhelming. They aren't shredded like grandma used to make or how momma makes them. They are more of a doughy consistency. Not great. Matzo soup. Not at all how grandma used to make or how momma makes. The broth tasted like your basic broth. No oomph. The matzo ball itself was decent. You also cannot order this soup as a cup, bowl only. Entrees that were ordered included turkey burger deluxe, goulash, pastrami and a knish sandwich. I got the turkey burger deluxe. It needed seasoning and it was dry. I did have it with some honey mustard, which did improve the taste. Fries were good and the onion ring was great. My boyfriend really liked is goulash. My mom and stepdad liked their sandwiches. Service was good. All in all, an average experience. read more

I look forward to this time of year. My besties from college all have birthdays within a week of each other, so we try to go out together every year. This time we agreed on Regal Kosher Deli. It's an old time deli that my friends said they went to as kids. I was the first one to arrive and was told we could sit anywhere. The waitress came over with silverware right way. When all 3 of us were there, we got the menus. It's your average deli. It seemed as if the only other customers were known by the staff and frequent the place. The food was good. Nothing wow. Would I go back again? Sure. Definitely if my friends were there too. read more

The service was amazing, lighting was bright, noise levels very low permitting easy discussion. The tables were comfortable. The food was soooo delicious. The onion rings and fries were crispy and tasty--apply your own salt though. The sandwiches had generous meat portions and they were cooked absolutely perfect. I got a salad with chicken at the greens were fresh plus there were generous amounts of chicken strewn around the greens. If you close your eyes just a moment. The sounds and the smells will make you think you're back in a New York City kosher deli circa 1966. Strongly suggest you visit this place. read more

Had pastrami sandwiches from Regal and enjoyed them - we didn't get the lean pastrami but the pastrami wasn't excessively fatty but still flavorful and not dry - and the potato knishes and onion rings we had alongside the sandwiches were great. You can never beat a good kosher deli! read more

Picked up corned beef ;turkey sandwich and knish small sandwiches taste was so so usually get Ben's or lido beach delis theirs are far superior read more

The food was just mediocre, service was fine, the ambiance was fair. We were the only ones in the restaurant at noon time. We will not be going back. Very disappointed. read more

Absolutely wonderful Jewish deli. Everything was fresh and delicious. Pastrami was perfect. Potato pancakes were perfect. Sweet noodle pudding was, can you guess? Perfect. Seeing a trend ?? It was a great experience. Staff was super helpful. Will definitely be returning for more... read more

Still great after all these years! Thankfully Regal was saved from extinction this year as it continues to serve up delicious food that makes me happy! From their matzah ball soup to the salty, fatty pastrami on rye, this is a happy food place!! Please go if you haven't and go again if you have, the new owners are so nice! read more

As a Italian kid growing up in Brooklyn, there was a small, local sit down deli that I'd grab a Knish with my friends. As I got older, I experimented with the different menu items and it soon became my comfort food. When I left the military in the 80s, I'd meet my girlfriend (who later became my wife) in Glen Cove for a Knish when she was between classes. Fast forward to 2021. My niece came home from college for the weekend and told the family she's craving pastrami?! We all meet at Regal Deli last Saturday night for dinner. All the standard favorites come to the table, cole slaw and pickles. We also ordered for the table stuffed Derma. And without question, Dr Browns sodas! The deli itself, is showing its age. The space is small, the interior is not a modern looking spot. The wait staff was friendly, we were all greeted and seated at a large table. My wife ordered a stuffed cabbage combination plate, it came with two potato pancakes. She says I'm still her sweetheart and she shared one of them with me. I ordered a hot pastrami sandwich which was a nice size. My wife's stuffed cabbage, tasted fresh and homemade. My pastrami was great, totally satisfied! The potato pancakes, sadly, grandma Regal isn't shredding each potato by hand. They put the potatoes in the blender which gave the potato pancakes a different texture. Not a crime but it would have been nice bump to have them shredded. The same with the Kreplach soup, the kreplach wasn't fried, it was a doughy ball that wasn't enjoyable in the soup. A few misses but overall a pleasant meal. We're walking to the car and we pass an older couple holding hands. I smile at them and the man smiles back. Regal deli, thank you for serving decades of comfort food. It puts a smile peoples faces when they come to enjoy your restaurant. read more

I never had Matzah Ball soup before and saw this Jewish Deli, I had the soup and pastrami sandwich, both were delicious! We're from Maryland and you don't find a good Jewish Deli anywhere. This place was excellent and very friendly people. Very clean and comfortable deli. read more

The food is good. Almost all the time. My biggest gripe is the food is never hot. Whether you get a pastrami sandwich, soup or a hotdog. It's always cold. Not sure if it's their staff or they just serve cold food but if it's going to be served cold I'm better off getting it to go and heating it up at home than sit and pay for them to bring me cold food. read more

I have been reading everyone's positive comments on Long Island dining pages on Facebook, regarding new owners saving this place from closing, and I had to try it out. I got the pastrami on rye and matzoh ball soup. The pastrami on rye was outstanding, truly fantastic. I got my meal to go and I loved how they gave me a side of mustard and pickles with my order. I had a drive home so not having soggy bread from the mustard was great. I am ashamed as a New Yorker to say this, but I have never tried matzoh ball soup before. Theirs was good, it definitely needed salt, but I think that's totally fine considering other peoples dietary restrictions, but once I add some salt and pepper, it was excellent. Honestly can't wait to go back! read more

Dropping this down to a three although based on today alone, it's a two at best. Knishes were cold and not fresh, tongue was asked to be heated but was not, but by far the biggest problem was the amount of salt on the tongue; it was on the verge of inedible. No way someone tasted it and felt it was good. Absolutely disgusting. Paying $44 per pound is bad enough but for garbage food is a kick in the nuts. At least the Halvah and cream soda were good. read more

Good old fashioned Jewish deli. food is good. place is clean but small definitely a To go style place

Stopped in here for lunch on the way back from an appointment. SO, SO, SO good! Ordered extra lean pastrami and extra lean corned beef sandwiches - perfect! No fat, and sliced thin. Delicious pickles and cole slaw served when we first sat down. Delicious home made knish - ordered one to take home. Clean, quiet, excellent service. Couldn't ask for anything more! A gem! read more

This was a pleasant surprise. We stopped by for takeout after helping our kids move into their new home in town and ended up eating our dinner in the car because of the not-unexpected Sunday night traffic. Hardly the first time I have eaten a large deli sandwich (and knish) in the car, but I digress. I am a big fan of Jewish KOSHER delis (not to be mistaken for a Jewish-style non-kosher deli like Rye Ridge). The old-style ones with the hot dog grill in the front, the long counter for orders, the seating in the back and the unmistakable smell. This fits the bill. And add in some points for gaudy external signage. Those aesthetics, however, would be no means be grounds for a free pass on the food if it weren't good. In this case, it may not be the best of the few that remain (hello, Liebmans) but it is far better than most, and certainly a step up over Ben's. We had turkey sandwiches and knishes; the turkey was moist and the portions reasonably good. The potato knish was really flavorful - very garlicky and perhaps a little on the spicy side. Prices were fair given the high prices for kosher meat. I am knocking off one star because of the parking situation. Next time I will ask them if we can park in the big mall parking lot across the street. I am sure we will be back as we expect to be in Plainview pretty frequently. I was happy to see that they deliver. read more

Highly underrated old school Kosher deli we stumbled across around our jobsite. Great friendly staff but absolutely dericious roast beef, beef tongue & pastrami on top of garlic hero & pastrami & corn beef sammies that came w/coleslaw as well as half & full sour pickles! So much juicier than my local Katz Delicatessen, just had to share! Happy eating ppls.... read more

New owners and you can taste and feel the difference. From the on point gratis pickles and coleslaw to soups, sandwiches and entrees - everything is tasty and fresh. My turkey stuffed cabbage with sweet and sour sauce was delicious and the potato pancakes were light and fried crispy. Steamed vegetables were full of flavor. My husbands turkey sandwich was piled high with fresh thin sliced white meat turjey. Service very friendly. read more

There aren't many pastrami places in the area, so when nearby, and you have the Pastrami crave, Regal is the must go to place. The freshest pastrami piled thick between two slices of rye ( Are the rye slices smaller, seems that way). I ordered mine to go, and of course it comes with two crispy pickles, 1 sour and 1 half sour. Eat in or take out, I'd like to eat in next time, sort of an old fashioned diner feel. And I'm looking forward to returning and trying their hot soups on a cold winter day. All that being said, I really do miss Boomy's, that closed down and was on S. Oyster Bay Rd. everytime I go to Trader Jo's. Boomy's was the BEST. Dine local. read more

We always circle back to Regal Kosher Deli. It is the oldest but still the best. Everything is always fresh. The Kreplach Soup is the BEST. For the people who don't know what it is It's like Jewish wonton Soup but much better of course. The Fresh Turkey is sliced thin & gravy is delicious. The Roast Beef is cooked perfectly. We Love the French Fries they are a smaller version of the Nathan's Fries. They have Awesome pickles & coleslaw. Best Chopped liver that doesn't repeat on it. It's a very old looking original restaurant look but it's delicious & worth a trip read more

I spent the 1st 27 years of my life living about 200 yards from this place. Based on the pictures, it looks like it hasn't changed a bit! I loved their hotdogs with mustard and sauerkraut as a kid as well as their knishes. Really authentic Kosher food! read more

I like NYC Kosher Deli's, The closest I have come to out on the Island to those old establishments is Regal. The meat is perfectly cooked and where else can you get stuffed Derma and good gravy? Plus a lot of other good food on their menu. I have been coming here since 1981and now my kid loves it. The old atmosphere is comfortable and perfect for a city style deli. I hope this place lasts another 50 years world traveler and international eater read more

Shvitzy and schmaltzy. Was in town visiting family and had a hankering for some soul food. The dinner was passable, but Regal needs a serious makeover. The tile floor was slippery as if it had been slathered with schmaltz, the restaurant was damp and way too hot. The kicker was an older gent came in a fell on the runner rug that was not secure to the floor. Not a stellar visit. read more

Very disappointed. Food was....tasteless. Only has seltzer in a bottle! Will not return

Best authentic Jewish Deli on Long Island! The sandwich combos are great and they serve various knishes.

Been craving for a BLT w sliced turkey sammie for awhile now. Hadn't notice that majority of the Delis in LI close super early on a Sunday . Anyways w th3 help of yelp I discovered this Deli and I guess I was so hungry I hadn't noticed the "kosher" part nor had I read the reviews. Ordered a Turkey, lettuce and tomato- No bacon sandwich and a brisket sandwich..and a chicken salad . These small portions came out to be a whopping $42!!! Brisket which i did not try was said to be very dry and tasteless. My turkey sandwich was also dry. And chicken salad was eh. HOLY MOLY - next time there won't be a next time, but if there is - I'd prefer to skip the rabbi blessing my food. Thank you very much. read more

I have ordered traditional Deli sandwiches and they have been great. Pastrami, corned beef all delicious. Not dry like most serve today. All the sides are great. I even order sliced meat by the pound. Building can use some work but food is great read more

I want to repeat what another reviewer said. I haven't been here in a while but visited this week. This place is the best deli on Long Island. Corned beef it fresh and tender as is the Rye bread. They tell me the bread is delivered daily. Mushroom barley soup was delicious. Potato pancakes - wow. I can't wait to go back. read more

Chanukah cravings and I haven't been to this place in over 15 years but yet my mind was blown because it was exactly the same as it used to be! I ordered over the phone and had no idea how busy it would be when I got there to pick it up. The person who took my order over the phone was nice and took her time with me. Corned beef club with Russian dressing on the side, square knish, coleslaw and sour pickles. All insanely good! Potato pancakes were very oily and not too crisp by the time I got home but I probably should have heated them up in the oven before we ate them. They couldn't have been too bad, my people demolished them in record time. Every crumb was hovered up and everyone was happy. I really want to give recognition to the people who work at the Regal Deli. There were so many people who had called in orders, people who were waiting to order and Uber Eats employees picking up orders and yet they stayed calm and collected, working quickly and communicating perfectly with each other. They even stayed pleasant when a customer was not very nice and when people were stepping in front of others and wouldn't wait their turn. When it was my turn, I was greeted kindly with a smile and was not rushed. The woman even took a minute to talk to my daughter. I appreciate that in these covid weird times when people are just not at their best. read more

Regal Kosher Deli & Caterers - Matzo ball soup - Delis Near Me - Plainview, New York

Tonight was cold and rainy. We needed comfort food. Where do you go for comfort food? Oh Regal is THE place. Our sandwiches always a little over stuffed, always moist, and always hit the spot. My daughter DEVOURS their hotdogs. Literally her favorite dish to order, period. The only mistake we made tonight is we forgot to order their matzoh ball soup - it's tastey without being too salt, the ball is soft and fluffy, and it just hits the spot. I've had a lot of other dishes here - I went regular deli sides (potato salad, slaw and mac salad, because they do them SO well) but I often do a knish. Yep, I've done the regular, but the mushroom and spinach are even better! Yeah, Regal is your place for comfort food!!! read more

A throwback in time a true old fashioned Kosher Deli Food is right on and atmosphere is 1960s it's the real thing

I was in the area and decided I needed a couple of hotdogs and a sour pickle. I have not been to Regal in over 15 years and it has not changed at all. The hot dogs were good, As well as the pickle. Too me the place looks a little run down especially the outside. The service was fast and friendly and food was fine. The parking can be an issue as there is only one way to get into the parking lot and it is around the corner. I would go back again to try the pastrami as I remember it being great. read more
