Triple decker with fries
Alicia R.

Deli with a speakeasy?!!! Came here for the Reuben, but was caught checking out the happy hour specials. There's a velveteen curtain next to the deli that I otherwise wouldn't have noticed that leads to a large bar/speakeasy area. Food was delivered to us in the back as I enjoyed the ambiance. Service was friendly and welcoming. Oh right -the Reuben, the reason I was here to begin with was quite delicious. The triple decker is made with Cole slaw, ask for kraut if you're looking for tang. Great value and delicious!

A nice find in Manhattan. I got the triple decker sandwich and it was delicious and a great value in a city that can be expensive. The staff was friendly. Not a ton of seating but not a bad experience at all.

This is the blandest, most overcooked food ever. Really disappointing. Also the cleaning mopping is done while you are sitting there. Really unpleasant. No "excuse me". Just a mop on your feet.

Reuben sandwich with Fries
Amelia D.

Food 4.5/5 - I am judging this Deli based on its genre. For a sit down deli this was an excellent Reuben sandwich, good portions, solid amount of fries, yummy dressing. The bread tasted like rye but wasn't marbled, not sure why. They also had some pre-made paninis and hot bar items I did not try. Ambiance 4/5, classic New York mix between a diner and a deli with seating for about 15 people. I saw some young couples here on dates which was cute. It's definitely a spot for people who live here not tourists trying to have a flashy time. It was reasonably crowded (I grabbed the last seat at 3pm on a weekday) but I could see it being packed during a lunch rush. Service 5/5 - everyone was super friendly. They gave me honey mustard on the side and were prompt with the service. Price 5/5 - in the inflation era of Manhattan being able to sit down and eat a meal in Midtown for under $15 ia increasingly rare.

Lovely place with the friendliest staff, fair prices, great food (served super quickly) and a variety of seating options due to tables in the front and access to the bar in the back as well. Recommended!

Pastrami Sandwich and chip and a Philly cheese
Julie S.

This place is amazing! Food was excellent, reasonably priced and portions were great. True taste of New York with a wide range of selections. If you can't find anything to eat, you probably aren't hungry! We ate here 3 times in a 5 day trip to New York

Last day in New York back the end of March, found us looking for a place to get warm and grab some…read morefood while doing our last exploring dash through Times Square. We ducked here to grab some nourishment before I became to hangry. Ordering takes place at the counter then grab a table. I had a 1/2 bowl of their "famous chicken soup" and 1/2 pastrami sandwich. Had good flavor and was enough to warm me up on this brisk morning. My niece did a bagel, and after trying all week she finally got one exactly how she wanted it made. We ate and chilled for a bit, no plans for the day other than making it to the airport to go home. Was able to people watch and catch up without feeling rushed to leave. Saw locals come through, so you know it is a place worth stopping. The staff were nice and even apologized for not being able to give me the soup I wanted in a half order. Though things can often get overlooked and passed by in the hustle and bustle of the city...stop in and relax while you grab a bite to eat.

Date of visit: April 14, 2026…read more Our friend wanted to go to a real New York deli during her first trip to the city and this is the one in the vicinity of Times Square and our evening show that was the highest rated according to my fellow Yelpers, but I am not quite sure why based on our experience. Things did start out great, with Boudjema being very friendly and helpful as we placed our order. And once we got seated, we were able to fully appreciate the vibe, both in the primarily 70s playlist, but also the mirror and brass touches across the restaurant. Food-wise, however, there were some definite opportunities. My Roasted Turkey sandwich did come on quite possibly the best rye bread I have ever had, warm and flavorful. But while the gravy was also good, the turkey was cold. This odd temperature mismatch made it hard to appreciate the generous portion of meat on the sandwich. We also ordered some tater tots and those were quite good. While it definitely could have been worse--and I've had worse in New York City--this also could have been so much better.

We got the chicken and pancakes along with the fish and chips. The fish just needed a bit of salt but was otherwise fine. The fries were fantastic. The pancakes and chicken were good too.
