Top 5 Delis in New York City

135 4th Ave, New York, NY 10003, United States

“One of the most underrated pizza spots in nyc. Enjoyed my slices. The burrata with pepperoni was the best one. I came in right when they opened and it was awesome. The pesto slice was good but I wouldn’t reorder. The buffalo chicken was also delicious. What separates this pizza is the crunch of the crust. It is a perfect contrast to the toppings and flavor. 5 stars all the way. Try this spot out.”

“The atmosphere was good very Japanese decorations. The Takoyaki was tasty I love the sauce! The special beer is the must ( we ordered the lucky cat). Had a great time here:)”

“If I had the chance, I’d give 10 stars. Being very familiar with Mediterranean cuisine, I never ever experienced such an amazing food. Definitely a must try. If I come to NYC again, no matter how long I stay, I’ll make sure to come back to this place. Every single dish we ordered, had a unique taste and was very creative. Thank you so much for this experience.”

“Perfect example of a "Great Sandwich Shop". As soon as you walk in, you have one cook for your whole visit. They'll greet you, take your order, make your order, have a small convo, and take your payment at the end. Sandwiches were amazing. I can't put into words how tasty they were. We had the Chicken Pesto Cutlet and the Italian Lover. They went heavy on the prosciutto and Roasted Red peppers without even asking for it (which i love). The sandwiches are $20 but the portions are so big you'll eat it for your next meal too. Besides the amazing food, they treated me like a regular and that genuine, sincere hospitality is so hard to find in this city. I can see how they've been open since the 1900's.”

“Probably the best duck I had in New York? Went to this place to celebrate getting a new job. We got the tasting menu and we enjoyed a lot. The duck is probably the best I had in New York. Generally the portion is big but the dishes were paced very well. Service is impeccable too. Would love to come back and try the new menu.”

“It’s a legit food truck with staff and a much better quality product than most of the carts in the area. The gyro and rice is more restaurant style and it’s a legit salad, not a pile of iceberg like the carts. Definitely cleaner too.”

“The place was very close to my hotel, so I bought soup three times. It is always to take away, but you can order there and eat standing up (there is space and the street is never crowded). Sometimes I saw a small queue in the evening. If the soup is finished early, then you can expect that the place will be closed a little earlier than the schedule indicates in Google. The lobster roll is small, but the soups are totally worthy and that's the reason I didn't decrease the stars for that. The list of soups changes every day. They give a piece of bread, mint chocolate and a fruit (apple, pear, banana). Considering the usual prices in NYC, this place has a very good price. I ordered the smallest size of soup, and for me it was enough.”

“A little hard to find but well worth the search. The service was fast and pleasant. You can tell the owners/workers take pride in what they are doing. I got the chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. The biscuits are top notch and the flavor on the chicken is really good. So often you get chicken sandwiches that are dressed up with all kinds of things that disguise the lack of flavor in the chicken itself. The toppings complimented the chicken, leaving it front and center. Can you get a better chicken sandwich in the city? I’m sure you can find a few somewhere. Can you get a better chicken sandwich for under $7? Absolutely not. A new LES staple”

“I and my husband have been to Ci Siamo several times and it never disappoints! It's our restaurant of choice when we have some visitors from out of town. The food and service are always great. The last time our server was Fiona and she was very friendly, professional and attentive. The other time Damian helped us choosing our dishes and drinks. He was very knowledgeable about them and provided outstanding service. I am posting some pictures of the food from 3 weeks ago when we took our son and his wife there. They loved everything!”

“The team is super welcoming, and here we find French know-how. A little part of France in the heart of Manhattan! Thank you for their warm welcome.”

“Small but good Italian spot. Service was excellent most of the food as well. Octopus very tender, there was a smoked type of meat that was amazing can’t remember the name, it was a special. Also the risotto was fantastic. However the salmon was a bit disappointing. Not a lot of flavor, definitely not ordering it again, very bland and whatever. The desserts were great as well! I love that they have coat check, especially now that’s winter we gonna need one for sure”

“Gazab is a compact and modern Indian restaurant that leaves something to be desired in terms of ambiance. The small space can feel cramped and lacks the inviting atmosphere that one might expect from a dining establishment. However, the restaurant redeems itself with its creatively presented dishes. The food's appearance is definitely a highlight, with each plate thoughtfully arranged and visually appealing. The chefs pay attention to detail, making the dishes look enticing and appealing to the eye. While the food may be considered average in terms of flavor, the good-looking presentation adds an element of excitement to the dining experience. Despite not having standout flavors, the modern twists on classic Indian dishes offer a novel approach to familiar flavors. The service is adequate, with the staff doing their best to accommodate guests despite the limited space. However, the overall experience may be dampened by the lack of a comfortable and inviting environment. In summary, it may not be the ideal choice for a lavish dining experience, but it does offer visually appealing dishes with a modern touch. If you are looking for an exploration of creatively presented Indian cuisine in a functional space, this restaurant may be worth a visit.”

“My son came exclusively from Atlanta to come eat these sandwiches. He did not get just 1 by 4! One better than the next one, but heads down, Del Boss, was our absolute favorite! Staff were super friendly & helpful. The line was not so bad & moved quickly. It is the right space but makes it fun! The secret menu looked interesting, but that will be for the next time, because without a doubt I'll or we will be back. YUM YUM YUM!”

“The wood fired rosemary wings might be the best wings in the world! Not to be missed. Love the $9 Pinot Grigio on tap, service is great and the homemade pastas are delicious.”

“Obsessed with this place. Great option for midtown lunch if you don't mind the usual wait. High quality and delicious healthy options in form of poke bowls accompanied by comfort food options including hot dogs and waffle fries. Friendly service. Also the best shakes I've ever had. Sons of Thunder never disappoints.”

“I had been eager to try Claudette for some time, drawn in by its inviting atmosphere and laid-back vibe. Its longstanding presence in NYC suggested a certain level of quality. However, my visit left me with mixed feelings. The atmosphere and service were indeed praiseworthy. Sadly, the food didn't quite meet our expectations. We started with the shrimps, which were the standout dish of the evening, and the octopus, where the ratio of potato to octopus seemed off. As for our main courses, I ordered the bouillabaisse, which turned out to be overly salty, and a notable portion of the clams remained closed. My friend opted for the ragu pasta, which also suffered from an excessive saltiness. To add to the disappointment, our side of Brussels sprouts arrived so deep-fried and greasy that they were nearly inedible. However, to their credit, the restaurant promptly removed the Brussels sprouts from our bill after we voiced our concerns. They even offered us a complimentary serving of vanilla ice cream as a gesture of goodwill. In summary, Claudette offered a welcoming atmosphere and good service, but the food, aside from the shrimp starter, left much to be desired. The issues with saltiness and the quality of some dishes were notable drawbacks during our visit.”

“Ate at the bar and enjoyed chips, quac, a selection of 7 salsas, multiple margaritas, mushroom tacos, fish tacos and the smoked black cod appetizer. Service was great, drinks were on point and food was fresh & tasty! As noted by many other reviewers, it’s very noisy inside. If you want to have a decent conversation expect to yell. But it’s a fun, lively atmosphere and the food this is good.”

“My husband and I are vegan and we absolutely loved our dinner here! The food was so good, flavorful, and comforting but it still felt healthy. We got the mushroom and cauliflower bao buns (highly recommend!), the scalloped potatoes (also so good), the truffle Mac n cheese with mushroom bacon (also amazing) and we had the creme brulee for dessert which was lovely. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also so cool and fun. And, the booths and chairs were super comfy. If we lived in NYC, we would eat here all the time!”

“Super legit classic Belgian tap and bottled beer selection. The beers are beautifully presented. But lacking the more modern innovative Belgians. Not a criticism, just an observation. Could be a platform for De Dolle and De La Senne - things folks here might really dig. Great service. Music too loud. Love the food.”

“Love orchard grocer! Been here so many times over the years. Always great sandwiches, sweets and treats. I love the tofu sandwich specials! The store has all the vegan stuff to buy! It’s hard not to walk out of here spending a ton of money haha love it. Come here and get all the good plant-based, vegan, non-dairy yumminess you can find!”
