This is a small deli, one of the few remaining in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. They offer a full range of deli delights, most of which are made on premises. It's really only a take-out place, as there is only bar seating with stools. The food was excellent and the owners were friendly and talkative. If you're in the area, go there. You won't be disappointed.

Best Matzah Ball Soup! I asked why it's so good and was informed that it's cooked for 10 hours low and slow. You won't find better matzah ball soup.

Finally found some legit Jew food without schlepping to the city! Woohoo! When I come to NY to visit family I have my checklist of NY staples that must be completed. Pizza, check! NY Chinese food, check! Bagel w/lox, check! White Castle, check! And of course my White Buffalo! Jewish Deli! Of course you can go to the city but that's always a pita and the local place I went to for decades took a nose dive so I consulted Yelp and found Tenifly Kosher. The pics looked legit so I stole my daughter car and took a drive. As soon as I walked in I was happy. Nothing fancy but VERY much your typical Jewish Deli layout (check). All the usual appetizers in the case (check) and hotdogs on the griddle (check). I was immediately greeted by the owner who was cordial with just the right amount of gruff and a NY accent which rivals my sister's! (BIG check). After I ordered I explained my dilemma to the owner who did nothing to sell himself or the place which is appropriate BUT he did give me his credentials which were impressive. Got everything to go. As the aroma filled my car I could actually feel my arteries starting to harden! (this is a good thing).So? How was the food! Most excellent! If you enjoy Jewish deli you know pastrami on rye is the benchmark and Tenafly's is fantastic! (personally I like mine sliced thicker but that's a personal choice and I'm sure if I asked they would). I also like a little crunch on my knish but that's minor and again personal preference. Regardless the food, service, attitude, vibe and price were all legit. Most important it allowed me to check the box without the traffic. I'm a happy Jewboy and Tenafly is now part of my visit rotation. Mazel Mazel! Good things!

Their pastrami is delicious, not fatty or stringy. I got a deconstructed pastrami sandwich and put it together at home when I was ready.

This place has real deal Pastrami (for when you don't want to go to Katz) - a def must try. Been here many times and I've honestly never had anything other than pastrami on rye with mustard. Pastrami is done just right and I would highly recommend it to anyone to go check it out. Inside isn't anything spectacular, but just go order grad and go - don't worry about esthetics - trust me. Also staff can be a bit rude and unfriendly (maybe if you're not a regular) but these types of places are the only ones where I can get over stuff. Check it out!

Their soup and sandwiches are great! The gentlemen who staff and run the deli are always helpful and accommodating.
Reliably good Kosher Deli. Good service! A Tenafly standout! Also ask for their Shabbat and holiday menus

Good frozen section and deli. Great sandwiches. Best hot dog on earth. Go to refuge for former Harold's customers.

Perfect! Been looking for a good kosher deli since i moved to NJ and this is the one. I will definitely be here a lot. Great selection and very friendly workers/ owners. The matzo ball soup was simple and tasty- so comforting to eat. The potato latkes were the best ive ever had! The pickles were also natural, homemade and perfect. If i lived in the area i would be here 3-5 days a week. But i have to say that it is well worth the journey for me to stop by frequently despite distance.

arrived from Florida, and tonight (Oct 26th at approx 7:30pm) i drove to this "kosher deli" in Tenafly. this is what i got when i ordered a corned beef on rye. i've seen larger portions in prison videos. This pathetic sandwich (with not even a pickle) along with a tasteless dixie cup sized portions) cost me $28.50. shameful unless u like disappointment and wasting time and money.

Small is size but Massive on Taste. Tenafly Kosher isn’t a large deli, but it can complete with the big boys - selection of meats, prepared foods, and frozen favorites. Whether it’s a quick bit, a platter or a full selection of items to host a holiday meal; Tenafly Kosher is too notch
Great, delicious traditional jewish
