My wife got the corned beef and I got the pastrami. I'm not huge on the deli thing, we both enjoyed it. The service was friendly and it's definitely a Williamsburg experience. For a tourist, I think it's definitely worth checking out. Service was friendly, too.
I ordered a hot pastrami on rye with sauerkraut and mustard, a spinach potato knish, and matzo ball soup. My total came to $31 for those three items. The sandwich alone cost $17. The reviews on google are inaccurate, this deli doesn't deserve an overall 4.6 star rating at the time of this review. The reviews on Yelp are much more accurate at 3.5 star at the time of this review. I would even say Yelp's overall review is much too generous. It is better for you not to join me on this disappointing experience.I won't go into much detail about the soup and knish. I can't really comment on the matzo ball soup because this was my first time having it but I can comment on is the broth. The broth was bland with a very mild chicken flavor. Tasted like Campbells chicken broth out of a can diluted with water. I will abstain from commenting on the matzo ball, and the included noodles were nothing special. Is this what its suppose to taste like?The Knish was tasty. I chose the spinach potato knish because it came right out of the oven as I ordered so it was fresh. It had a flaky exterior and a nice mix of spinach and potato flavors in its center. It's the only reason this review is not 1 star.Now for the pastrami, which I'm sure you've all been anxious to know about. As you will see from the attached photos, the sandwich is deceptively full. They stack most of the meat in the center with very thin amounts around the perimeter. The pastrami itself was tasty, wasn't overly fatty or salty. The sauerkraut topping was scarce and so was the mustard. Plainly, the sandwich is not worth $17 for the amount of meat provided.Alas, I could be totally off point, but I think normal delis make pastrami sandwiches better than this "revered" top Jewish deli in NYC. Listen to the negative reviews, this sandwich is not worth your money. I didn't and here I am writing my disappointment.
if you are a tourist and want to see Williamsburg, stop at Gottlieb's Restaurant as well.Glatt kosher is served here, which means it couldn't be more ultra-Orthodox.As expected, it tastes very good if you like and know Eastern European cuisine.The service is also friendly to tourists.
Down to earth old fashioned Glatt Kosher Ashkenazic Jewish Delis!!! The chopped chicken liver is super delicious!!!
Perfect for a quick bite, good atmosphere and a lot of options.
There are 5* dishes here, love the chicken soup...stunning. 4* for the too-stetched-out- w-matzo-meal but otherwise good gefilte fish (thursdays), but there's some stinkers, as most of the counter offers are microwaved beyond edibility. Stay with the soups and the good service and you'll agree with the 4.6* average they have...
This deli was opened by a Hungarian holocaust survivor in 1962.Favorites include pastrami sandwich, stuffed cabbage, goulash, grilled chicken, and matzo ball soup and all of the food is homemade and made on promises daily. Also try pastrami knish or Hungarian delights such as cherry soup.
Had the corned beef! Very good! I didn’t notice the beef stew… next time! This place is old school.
They are a little expansive,, but the food is definitely delicious in has a certain cozy vibe, they serve you as a king.... try Thier steak with the fried onions together with steak fries dipped in mayo ? YUMMY!!!
For starters this isn’t an Israeli restaurant- it’s an Ashkenazi restaurant in the heart of Satmar Brooklyn. The Ashkenazi cuisine here is phenomenal and will make you think of Shabbos lunches at your Bubbe’s. Phenomenal food and great customer service
