Ben's Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers

Awesome homemade chicken soup.

Bad takeout experience today. No one knew how to run the POS, and they couldn't take cash. Caused quite a bottle neck in that tiny store front. They were nasty about all the confusion. Insulted me when they made a mistake at the same register. The counter help were nice but also seemed confused. The food sucks. I'm never going back. I can't see how they stay in business.

I had a corn beef sandwich. I thought it would be a little bigger for $15. I ordered a side of coleslaw in oil and vinegar. It came with sour and half sour pickles. Overall it was good but I think the sandwich could’ve been a little bigger

The Restaurant.. Cute!! My Service .. very nice & professional... But the Food!! Sorry does any1 taste the food b4 the service... chicken soup taste like water broth, no chicken!! Changed for the Split Pea ? had a little favor but not much... the 1/2 cornbeef... no favor, seasoning or pickling spice.. (the server said it's steamed in vinegar) ? the ColeSlaw was good. Send the soup back & the sandwich, I paid for the split pea soup & cup of tea!! Gotta kind a good kosher deli ?

Otillio, the head chef, is wonderful as is the entire staff. We have special programs in the back room where we are treated so well and the food is always delicious. Thank you Otillio and Ben’s in Bayside!

Been going there for years and have never been disappointed. The portions are generous and the coleslaw is some of the best. If you get the chance, get a hotdog, a pastrami sandwich or the flanken. All great!

Did curbside pickup for 2 orders. Called the restaurant, the person who answered was friendly and professional.
The lady who brought the orders out was really friendly, had a smile and very professional and courteous.
The food was great too. I haven't been here for little while. Glad it's still unchanged.
Will make this place a regular spot again.

The sandwiches are ok with respect to size but the size of bread slices are a bit small...the only other Jewish deli I go to is the Lido Kosher Deli in Lido Beach and regrettably they are far better

A most excellent deli. Must have opened in the 1960s, because that’s the vibe you get from the beautiful decor. Comfortable seating, and absolutely delicious pastrami sandwiches. Served with pickles and coke slaw, of course. And the matzoh ball soup was perfect. I don’t know how the servers deal so pleasantly with the old clientele, because I am older clientele, and believe me it ain’t easy. But they do; the service was delivered with professionalism and a good amount of humor. Accessible ♿️. Huge parking area. Try it.
