$19. for a fair corn beef sandwich. This is a takeout deli which seems too expensive. I will go somewhere else for my next corn beef sandwich. read more

Stay away. Overpriced unless you live in the community, then you get a special discount. Two sets of prices. Forget about the prices place is just down right dirty for a restaurant, deli, or takeout facility. I guess they have no competition in the area. read more

Glatt Kosher Covid Wedding Since I have been a food writer for the last 20 years or so (whew!), I have been so disappointed with Kosher food. It always seems very lackluster. I mean, it's almost, but not quite. Maybe because Reuben and his partner are Persian, there is not a lack of flavor. My grandparents were Orthodox, and my grandfather, who was the "chef" in the family, never made a lackluster meal in his life. He did the best he could with the available resources he had. And, he traveled for them. The thing is, now, the Orthodoxy have full reign on food. They have Kosher non-meat meat, non-shellfish crab, lobster, shrimp, non-dairy butter, milk, cream and cheese, et.al. If my grandfather was alive today, he could have a vegetarian cheeseburger! But, somehow, I cannot visualize them on Shabbos having sushi. Maybe it's because Reuben and his partner are Persian, it seems as if they have injected beautiful spices into their catering menu. The wedding was stupendous. My cousin did such a beautiful job considering the circumstances. The wedding was held outside a beautiful hotel, near where they live. There were beautiful soft-colored roses everywhere you looked. A tent overhead, as it was supposed to rain. My cousin thoughtfully bought rubber boots, umbrellas and blankets for all. Thankfully nobody needed them. The weather was glorious! When my husband and I arrived, there were photos at the gazebo, and then back to the tents. Oh those appetizers! Puff pastry surrounded some very delicious meat triangles, also covered spinach and those little doggies that nobody confesses they adore! Also, we were given individually closed boxes of sushi: tuna, salmon, avocado, along with crudites, hummus and guacamole. There was also a carving station featuring pastrami and corned beef. My husband, who is not Jewish jumped all over that! We thought that all this was the meal, but noooo. After masked marriage vows at the chuppah, and gazebo, back at the tented area there were already pretty plastic boxes at each table setting containing a nice mesclun salad, and poached salmon. The salmon was done perfectly, but I avoided the dressing for the salmon as it was perfect on its own. Next to the box was our utensils, carefully wrapped, more than once and a spray hand sanitizer. So thoughtful. By this time, we were just about to burst, but yet more was on its way! Next box: Portobello mushroom Wellington. This was an absolute delight for the Vegan sitting near us. She couldn't believe there was no animal anything in it. And you'd think this might be the end, but noooooo. Stuffed Capon with rice and mushrooms. The capon was delicious. It was moist and warm, even in those plastic boxes, the stuffing drowned in rosemary was a bit alarming, and I forgot to ask the Vegan how her vegetarian lasagne was. I must say that what accompanied the capon was roasted sweet and white potatoes (very good), and string beans and carrots. Too bad the string beans were raw. But let's get down to the really good stuff! Dessert! Towards the end, we were given boxes and a plastic cup of fruit salad. I cannot say much about the fruit, as it was not in season, however the cake, oooooh the cake. Hazelnut mousse cake covered with a dark chocolate glaze. OMG. Was light and delicious... I'm so bad, I took home an extra to luxuriate on it later. Singing was the fabulous Joshua Marcus, and his band West Hills Project. Gorgeous, romantic songs were emitted, followed by some wild Klezmer. My husband went crazy and danced the night away with the wedding party. Too bad I am disabled, as even though I cannot dance physically, I was, in my heart, jumping and kicking and flying with everyone else. Truthfully, one of the best weddings, ever; even wearing masks, and the possibility of rain. Congratulations to Aaron & Stefanie read more

I needed to include a kosher sandwich in a marketing lunch and found myself a bit pressed to locate such a spot that was open before 11am in the area. I found this one, the service was extremely helpful, quick and friendly. The prices were good as well. My experience has been that kosher often costs above average, but this place's pricing is on par with the average non-kosher establishments. I'm grateful that I found this spot and will certainly use them again. read more

There are too many wonderful things to write about the catering services for our wedding from Reuben's Glatt Spot. The food, was nothing short of sensational. Great sushi, moist chicken with wild rice...I could go on and on about the food! Everyone was so pleased. As the supposed coordinator of this wedding, a mom, I needed help. Reuben was the unofficial Orthodox Jewish wedding planner and took me ...step through step ...in menu planning, and time lines. During the wedding and the reception he always popped up encouraging the thing we needed to do next... Where to best locate the cocktail hour...When to walk down the aisle.... Who goes next! ....Preparing food for the new couple...When to serve the first , second and third courses. Everything was served at the perfect temperature....He knew when and where everything was to happen and made sure that it happened in a gracious and timely manner. We were lost in the moment, but Reuven kept his eye on everything, like a doting loving father or simply the best Jewish wedding planner on the planet. We appreciate him for his devotion and his commitment. He will refer that credit only to Hashem (God) , endearing him even more to our hearts. Did I mention that this is our second incredibly successful wedding with Reuben? And he managed to do all of this outside without access to an indoor kitchen, during Covid protocols. read more

Reubens did an excellent job catering for my families Thanksgiving dinner, thank you very much for providing the service for my family :-)

I'm floored by the bad reviews because everything I have ever gotten here has been excellent. The schnitzels are perfection, fish is fresh and their preparations are delicious , cold cuts are lean and the sides are flavorful. I've also had Persian dishes made to order that are exceptional, especially the rice (tahdig). Deli roll is a crowd pleaser and their chulent is the best around. Sushi is great, as well. The service is warm and gracious. No complaints here, only praise. read more

I always call in advance to place my order. Yet somehow Every single time I go I have to wait 40min for my food.

Highly under-rated is Reuben's kosher sushi. It's always fresh and excellent. People in West Orange and connecting communities you are missing out on the best sushi in town. read more

All I can say is the pastrami was dried out, disappointing at 25$ a lb. The staff was friendly, though.

Excellent food! Excellent service! Reuben's Glatt Spot always does a great job, whether it's a Shabbos dinner or a kiddush! It's flavorful, looks great and we always look forward to the next time we can have Reuben's food! read more

I have been getting food from Reubens for many years. The barbecue beef is outstanding. The chicken fingers are addictive. There are many parve choices for those who don't want meat and it is a pleasure to not have to worry about parve on meat equipment. They have a seperate parve kitchen. It is great having a place like Reubens conveniently in West Orange. read more

My grandfather had just died and we needed food for 40 people after the funeral service. Not only did we run out of food but it cost 700$ for the first order which included white fish. I had to order a second time so our family could eat and it cost another 700$ only this time we received tuna instead of white fish, which should have been cheaper. When we called with our concerns about his pricing we received a rigid response in that it cost per head and not by the amount of food. Despite my family being in the community for 40 years we received little to no compensation in this time of grief. This place is not worth it and the owner is a crook. read more

If zero stars were possible, I would give it. After a death in the family, we used Reuben's to cater the food. The original request was for enough food to feed 40 people. There was NOT enough food! Not only that but the $700 order included 2 servings of egg salad, 2 servings of white fish, and 2 meat platters. Along with sandwich toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles) rolls, and coleslaw. After determining we needed more food we placed another order. The only redeeming quality is that they were able to get the food ready quickly. Upon the second order, the deli supplied tuna salad in place of white fish; which is much less expensive. However, we were charged $700 again. What was most upsetting, is that we had to spend $1400 when we should have received enough to feed 40 people with the first order. $700 is expensive for deli for 40 people to begin with, but if it had been kosher and enough food to feed everyone, it would have been fine. After calling 3 times, I was finally able to speak to the owner. We argued back and forth for several minutes and I must say, customer service IS NOT his forte. He was SO RUDE and condescending. Please save yourself the headache and don't go to this place. Beyond the service, the food was mediocre, and the place is old and disgusting. read more

Today I went to Reuben's Glatt Spot to grab a pastrami sandwich for my father who is recovering at Daughters of Israel in West Orange which provided this establishment's name as an approved Kosher, Orthodox Deli. I don't even know where to begin!!! When you walk through the front door, the first thing you see is an old broken up formica counter with wads of phone wires hanging down to the cracked, dirty floor tiles with some pieces missing, some lifted and some sunken. (a clear liability issue) Next, there is a huge, non functioning (I assume) refrigerated grocery display that was mostly empty except for the boxes and papers and random items scattered about. (similar to one's kitchen "junk drawer") Next there was an actual glass meat case which displayed all of about 4 meats! There were no menu boards listing what sandwiches, salads, etc.., were available and most shelves were empty. It reminded me of being in a third world country not suburban New Jersey! My first question to the employee was to ask if they were going out of business because the store looked as if it had been picked over and barren. read more
