50 Best Delis in Brooklyn

“Excellent food and bloody Mary’s - great staff and bright and airy decor. Perfect brunch and dinner spot!“

“Truly a Good Time here. Stayed near this bodega on my trip to NY and went here every morning for a bacon egg and cheese or their super chopped cheese. 11/10 experience all the way. Thanks yall. “Spread love it’s the Brooklyn way”“

“The sandwich’s are priceless. The wait is worth it sometimes lol.“

“I go here every day, i pass 3 or 4 delis on my way there because the service is exceptional, the sandwiches are classic and made with care, the coffee is cheap and surprisingly good, but mainly i go because i see how they treat people in a genuine decent way, in a world where love and care is dwindling, these guys have become part of my daily routine and its a pleasure to spend my money there and to be greeted every day by name with a smile .“

“Please don’t change what you do, just keep doing what you’re doing. The food is awesome no complaints from BEC to sandwiches or wraps, its great overall. The owners know me well, very nice folks and the cooks are awesome as well. I live in Coney Island and I go here to get my BEC because thats how good is it! God bless 🇺🇸“

“Wow 😮 who knew such flavors come from 🌱 basic wonderful fresh and delicious 😋 A.T.M Is original with a zestful layering ,each bite has bring an awesomeness!“

“Amazing deli. Talked to Mohammed a for a few minutes while I was waiting for my food to get ready. Everyone was coming in and out quickly. I had the chicken quesadilla which Mohammed recommended, and it was probably the best I’ve ever had.“

“Deli Bite is truly a neighborhood gem. Open 24/7, it’s the kind of spot you can count on any time of day for a freshly prepared sandwich made with care. The variety is impressive so many excellent options, all made to order, and always tasting as if they were crafted just moments ago. The location couldn’t be more convenient, and the service is consistently warm, quick, and attentive. It’s clear the team takes pride in what they do. Keep up the great work places like this make the community better.“

“Check out my IG @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. David’s Brisket House in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is a real piece of NYC food history. The shop has been around for more than 50 years and still serves some of the best sandwiches in the city. We ordered the famous “3 The Hard Way” to try all three classics: pastrami, brisket, and corned beef. Each one was stacked high on rye, and the flavors were incredible. The brisket had that perfect smoky edge, and the pastrami was full of spice and tenderness. You can feel the legacy in every bite. It’s casual, local, and full of character. If you want an authentic deli experience in Brooklyn, this is the spot to visit.“

“Absolutely amazing place! I had the cheeseburger, and it was one of the best I’ve had. It was fresh, juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they care about the quality of the food.

I also want to give a special shoutout to the owner, Leo. He is incredibly kind, welcoming, and makes everyone feel right at home. His great attitude and hospitality made the whole experience even better.

I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious burger and outstanding service. Keep up the fantastic work!“

“In my opinion best bakery in the Neighborhood. From the cook shop in the back to the pastries in the front. Unlike a recent review I saw I recently got their Flan and it was so delicious. I recently got their tamales and pancita this weekend and also the best in the neighborhood. Let’s not talk about the fresh concha’s all time. When it comes to Birthday cakes this is also my go too. My picky child loves the Cafe con Nunez cake!!! Now speaking about today for three kings day the Rosca was a must. I went around 8:45pm and they still had a line outside. I even bumped into my child teammates who came from the other side of Brooklyn just for the rosca!! Mind you at 8:45 they were still taking out Fresh rocas from the oven for us on the line. Needless to say that even when I got home the Rosca was still very warm. Everyone in my family really loved the Rosca. Its fresh warmest just got prefect with our coffee… Oh and the prices were the best. They did not overcharge like other bakeries in the neighborhood. Price was prefect!!. This Bakery is just the number one for everything so far!!“

“Victoria the cat was a local legend here for years. It was hard to learn she had passed
But when we saw a new face we got excited
And then heard Jabal was stolen
I can’t wait to visit again when Jabal is back“

“Delicious Breakfast Poutine!!!“

“Stayed around the corner from this fantastic store. Arrived as tourist and left feeling local.The guys here sorted out anything we needed any time any day, literally got treat like royalty with the staff.The food is impeccable, I was told to try a chopped cheese on my travels, I had nothing to compare it to, but delivered! As did the bacon egg and cheese and french toast, hot chocolate and coffee.Nothing is too much trouble, clean, fresh deli counter with an amazing selection!Looking forward to coming back to the neighbourhood and revisiting these guys!“

“I recently visited Habib Deli and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, they have a wide variety of options that will satisfy any appetite.

The service was top-notch as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. I didn’t have to wait long for my order, and they were more than happy to provide recommendations.

The location is perfect—easy to find with plenty of parking, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors.

A special shoutout to Ali, the owner, who greeted me with a warm smile and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s clear that he takes pride in both the food and the atmosphere of his deli. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Habib Deli to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming experience!“

“Service was absolutely 💯
Walked past looking for a quick meal after a long day of walking around town as a couple of tourists. Saw the proprietor outside and he welcomed us in and took care of us like family 💗

We'll be back tomorrow morning for breakfast 🥚 🥓 🥑“

“Mr. Lee & the deli keeps this neighborhood alive & happy. Great deals too.They make EVERYTHING fresh to order. Chopped cheese, pastrami & Chicken cutlet sandwich’s are my fav. They fry it right there, perfectly crispy edges, melty cheese, honey mustard and PERFECT crunchy bacon on a NY soft hero. I ordered every sandwich from here & they are all made with integrity. Their homemade chicken soup kept me alive during the winter. Best bodega ever, my credentials being I grew up on bodega food. Support this business! 🙌🫶“

“Friendly staff good food highly recommend this deli“

“Located in the heart of Clinton Hill is Yafa Deli and Grocery located on the corner of Clinton Ave on Fulton Street. The food in this store is amazing and well done. They have professional staff, and the fried chicken is the best. The food is amazing in this store. It's a family owned business. I recommend this store if you look for something on the go.“

“la barbacoa, el consomé y las tortas cubanas🤤 de hecho todo muy rico“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“As a mom you worry about what your kids eat when they are on the go. My daughter has ulcerative colitis and can only eat certain foods. Wonder has been a great place for me and my daughter to go come where we dont have to worry about limited food options for her gluten free diet or things that are anti inflammatory. The staff is also very welcoming and helpful 😀.“

“Hi! We catered from you today and I just wanted to say that the food was outstanding! Wow, the stuffed shells were amazing as were the potato croquettes, chicken Francese and eggplant rollatini. Thanks for making our birthday celebrations today a success. We wish you continued success.“

“I bought a slice of cheesecake and a slice of apple pie, and I honestly wouldn’t recommend them to anyone who’s currently on a diet.

The moment I left the deli, I decided to take just one bite of the cheesecake. Well… that plan failed immediately. I couldn’t stop eating it. Then I thought I’d try just one bite of the apple pie too. I took a bite, put it back in the bag, and within seconds I was reaching for it again. Before I knew it, I was walking down the street happily eating the entire slice.

So, if you’re trying to stick to a diet, consider this your warning! But if you’re looking for delicious Polish desserts, definitely stop by, support this local business, and treat yourself. Everything was absolutely worth it.“

“Blue Star always comes through in the clutch. It pains me to have moved out of daily range of this place. Vic, Mo, and Rudolpho are truly the best- never failed to make me, my roommates, and friends feel welcome and always took care of us with excellent service.

Will be back soon my friends! ??“

“We enjoyed our meeting with food's that was catered from them! it was great“

“great food. staff is sweet and professional. will be back.“

“Aaron's Deli is more than just a deli—it's a community spot. Mama Luv is there almost every morning, greeting folks with a smile and real love. She’s like the heartbeat of the place, spreading positive energy and good vibes.

They’ve got your NYC staples like a solid BEC or a chopped cheese, but what makes this spot special is the rare finds—Seamoss Gel, Mullein Tea, and fresh fruit cups. There are plenty of healthy options too, which is hard to come by at most corner stores. Whether you’re grabbing something quick or just need a moment of good energy, Aaron’s Deli delivers every time.

Support local and pull up—you won’t regret it.

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at JM deli . The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, friendly smile and the mouth-watering aroma of freshly prepared food. The menu offers an incredible variety of options, from classic deli sandwiches to innovative new creations. I tried salad. The service was prompt and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a top-notch deli experience! Five stars all the way!“

“I give them five stars. Friendly Staff , clean ,large variety of items. I call them early in the morning before I go to work for a delivery. They tell me five minutes and five minutes it is. The Gentleman comes to deliver he is very nice and the coffee and food are hot and delicious. I’m glad to have them right down the block from my apartment. when I’m not working I go in and they are always friendly to everyone God Bless ????????“

“Great community sharing the mission of high quality, local, organic and all natural food. Right here in Bushwick!“

“The sandwich’s are priceless. The wait is worth it sometimes lol.“

“Had a fantastic meal here and was genuinely impressed by the attention to detail throughout the experience. The menu offers a great selection, making it difficult to choose just one dish. I went with the Salmon Poke Bowl, and it exceeded expectations. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the portion size was generous without feeling heavy. Every element felt carefully prepared, highlighting the quality of the ingredients. A spot that's well worth visiting, and I'll definitely be back.“

“Way better than I was expecting. I ordered from “Kin House” and got some veggie lo mein and wings that were both pretty good! The green beans needed to be cooked more but once I threw them on the cast iron it was great! I definitely will try another of the “ wonder restaurants” on the app.“

“Tasty Burgers - Great host! Thanks for the nice evenings 😊“

“Nice environment, relaxing music, love the chicken sandwich and lamb Haneeth sandwich waffle fries are delicious I’m hooked on brown sugar cardemon iced coffee and service is always with a Smile no indoor seating yet but they do have limited outdoor seating a must try other foods and beverages available 😃“

“Word Jackie ��� I'm here, I gave a like just like you asked ����“

“I was actually skeptical at first because I’ve been to a lot of delis where the bread is stale, the ingredients aren’t fresh, or they’re just trying to get rid of old food. But this place definitely proved me wrong.

The sandwich was so good! The bread, meats, and cheese were all fresh, and you could really taste the quality. Everything was made perfectly, and I didn’t have any issues afterward. It was just a really good, fresh sandwich.

Also, shout out to Adam at the register. He was very friendly, welcoming, and had great customer service, which made my first visit even better.

I honestly thought I was going to save half for later, but it was so good I ended up eating the whole thing in one sitting. 😂 I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“You get more than what you pay for... Seriously where else can you get shrimp and rice for $7. Or chicken and rice and beans for $6. Only at primos and that's for real . Also the food is always fresh and tasty. Come on the price is really a bargain.“

“Been coming here for over ten years and it's still the best sandwich in the neighborhood! We do sandwich night for dinner about once a week, and it's always delicious (and they have tons of great snacks we indulge in, too). Everyone is SO friendly and lovely, it's a true gem. Also, anytime I travel home to see ma I pick up flowers from here and she's always blown away by how fresh and beautiful they are. So blessed to live so close to these guys!!“

“I literally have been at this deli since they opened. I love them. They know their customers/remember their regulars. They are soooo nice and welcoming. It's a small deli but they got snacks for days ? I will literally go to them over any other deli.“

“I can’t say enough great things about Fresh To Go Deli. First of all, the owner Ahmad is such a friendly, genuinely nice guy—I really loved our conversations every time I stopped by. I was staying nearby and commuting to Manhattan for work, but I would always come back here for my meals because the food is just that good.

Their sandwiches are awesome! I had the chicken cutlet sandwich twice, the Philly cheesesteak, and even their hot dog—everything was prepared with so much care and love. The quality and portion size are incredible for how affordable it is, and every single item was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

And guess what—they also have fresh-made juices! I tried the immune booster and another juice with apple, carrot, and beet, and I asked for extra ginger, which they generously added. Honestly, one of the best fresh juices I’ve had—super tasty, refreshing, clean, and perfectly made.

What really makes this place special is the friendliness. Ahmad and his coworkers are all incredibly kind and welcoming, and you truly feel taken care of. Amazing food, delicious fresh juices, great prices, and wonderful people—this is hands down my favorite place, and I will definitely be coming back again and again.

Highly recommended! 👏🥪🥤“

“Their chicken and lamb over rice is too tasty. Do try it. Prices are economical. Chicken with rice is $10 and mix over rice is $12. Additionally they have tens of other food options plus juices.

Staff is also cooperative. All food is halal. One if the best halal food deli.“

“The prepared meals are great in Beach deli ! Today the teriyaki chicken and rice was delicious ! 💙💜Thank you Kevin for being a great part of our community !“

“The absolute best individuals work here! The cleanest, most customer service oriented deli in bedstuy hands down! Playful, and respectful! Best pancakes and New York’s best chopped cheese you’ll ever get in all five Burroughs! Thank you all for making my days better and my belly bigger!“
