50 Best Delis in Brooklyn

“This bodega is a bit of a walk for me but it's absolutely worth the walk, the food is so good and the people are so kind. Echoing the other reviewers to say get the beef crunchwrap. This is the first crunchwrap to break my loyalty to Taco Bell. Rest of the food is great as well - they clearly put a lot of care into making really tasty food.“

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

“Best deli in the neighborhood! Was hungry at midnight and stopped by this clean deli. Got a chopped cheese and chicken cutlet. Everything was so fresh from the lettuce to the meat! Was delicious I recommend everyone to stop by and try this place out.“

“Best deli in GP no competition, best Philly in the city, trust me I tried them all, scrumptious food. The Guys who run the place are super chill and welcoming it’s amazing they don’t rip you off like other stores, always have my precious red bulls and monster energy, not to mention the absolute gas import chips go here once and you’ll never look at any other deli again“

“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!“

“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! ??“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Delicious Breakfast Poutine!!!“

“Perfect service all around and their food is always delicious and fresh. a ton of variety of options for allergy free or regular food available. The sandwiches are SPOT ON FOR REAL

the workers are nice and warm. Always welcoming“

“Vegan food that makes love to your mouth! My first time having Jerked Seitan. OMG! Definitely worth getting with the avocado.“

“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.

“Friendly staff good food highly recommend this deli“

“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!“

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

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

“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! 👏🥪🥤“

“Yeah, I'll definitely be back. The food is really good 👍. I am satisfied but not sluggish. They are so nice with awesome souls. I am super proud of them. My experience was pleasant, and my sister loved them. That's a plus. I see why they had me 😃 laughing. Videos and photos below prices fluctuate. Bless up.

Parking: Look with hawks 👀

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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.“

“Was craving a bagel at 8pm and this was the only place that looked like they might have them. Staff made me feel like family and there was a great selection. Chose a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and red onion. Delicious.“

“Stopped in late with my wife on our way to LaGuardia for a red eye flight. My wife had the chopped tuna on a roll and I had the chopped cheese on a roll. The sandwiches were fantastic and we both regretted that we had not ordered more to take back home to Texas. Friendly and helpful staff. We will be back here every time we visit NYC.“

“Always looking for places to get a vegan breakfast sandwich. Stumbled upon this place and enjoyed a nice sandwich. Not a part of the plantega chain, so cool to see an independently vegan friendly bodega. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-22“

“Deli guys are very attentive which I like and always come back. Overall store is full of different products and it's a welcoming environment. Used to go to the store across the street but I realized the food is always made to order here.“

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

“Mr. Lee is so warm and genuine. He has the best prices in all of NYC, not just Brooklyn, and cares so much for his customers. I’ve never had such a pleasant and wonderful experience visiting his store. Where else can you get a high quality breakfast sandwich for $5?!“

“Atlantic Grill & Deli embodies perfection. The meals consistently offer quality and freshness that exceed the casual category. Their staff demonstrates expertise alongside genuine kindness. Their food preparation shows mastery. I'm ready for my next meal here.“

“As soon as a Palermo store opened up in my neighborhood, I checked it out !! The young owners, Alessia, & her famiglia sono molta simpatica🇮🇹♥️♥️♥️!!!! Every Family & Friend Celebration, I get lots of delicious almond cookies, prosciutto, freshly made mozzarella, Baci chocolates, iced coffee directly from Sicilia☕🇮🇹 pastries & capunatina. I Love their frothy cappuccinos & pistachio & mocha syrups in my caffe☕☕🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I support family-run L'Angolo di Palermo over sugary drinks ! I Love Real Sicilian coffee & home cooking is #1 ♥️♥️♥️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 in my Heart ♥️.“

“Every one at the store is super friendly, they also are very knowledgeable of what you need and what you’re looking for. Always willing to give you advice of what food or drinks are good for you. I only regret that I can only give them a five stars as the highest rating“

“Everything on this menu is great. Best dominican delicacies you can try. The staff is always welcoming & they have no problem pointing out what plate suits best for you and your taste buds.

Everything is delicious here, no one should have any issues.“

“A friendly neighborhood deli. Right on the way to or from the subway. A must go-to place for the neighborhood.“

“Being that my partner is in the hospital right across the street from Omega, I go here for lunch. Their hot buffet is excellent. The food is always fresh and delicious. The gentleman at the counter is always polite and friendly. I wish Omega Deli was in my neighborhood in Bay Ridge.“

“This is my go to store. They make the best hot food and have a very friendly and respectful staff who seems to love their job or respect the fact that they are making food for others so how it is handled and prepared does matter. The store is always clean and where they cook in the back is clean as well as the counter top. The refrigerator and shelves are as stocked as can be. Can't fault them for what sells out quickly because they do re - stock pretty quickly.“

“This is an amazing deli. This is from the owner: We provide great food,our workers are kind. We welcome all our customers.
Our prices are decent. We recommend you to try out the food. Also, we provide fresh salads with anything you want and freshly made smoothies/protein shake. Always Fresh! Come try it out!“

“So the guy below me has to give them a 4 star because they can’t find a deli man?? That’s awful!! I live in the building and they are clean, stocked and friendly. Go buy the meat, which they have and slap it together yourself. Ughhhh he shouldn’t be allowed to review. Some people always find something.
That’s why you took away a star? Shame on you.
Ok he took back his bad review. Respect for that!!“

“This deli was a much needed addition to the neighborhood. I love their sandwiches. I’ve had one unpleasant experience trying to order a smoothie and substituting bananas because of my allergy. The man didn’t seem to understand what I was saying, and all of their smoothies have bananas so I just left. Kind of a bummer because theyre affordable smoothies, but I can’t take the risk. Their prices are very reasonable.“

“Since I moved to Canarsie in 2005, Ock Spot has been a staple in our community. Not only is the food and service fantastic, but the love and care I feel from the staff and owner is out of this world. I feel supported and cared for every time I enter Ock Spot. Thank you wholeheartedly!!!“

“Review of Sam's Deli

Overall, everything at Sam's Deli is pretty good. The sandwiches are well-prepared, and the variety is decent. The location is convenient, and the service is friendly. However, I’m not a fan of the format where they sell gloves and prepare food in the same place. Because of this, I can never give it a full 5-star rating. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars.“

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

“delicious food, very nice staff“

“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 !“

“Excellent tacos! Like you’re in Mexico! Super authentic and delicious! ��“

“Went there quick for a quick bite. Nothing but amazing! I order me a egg white with turkey , mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo on whole wheat bread. The prices was really economical and overall the food was prepped right. Good job!“

“I wasn't expecting this but I just had the BEST CHICKEN OVER RICE of my life. What the hell? Almost wish I hadn't tasted it cos no halal will ever come close to this.

Also the guy cooking was super nice and asked where I was from.“

“This deli has a great selection of food choices for lunch. You are able to select hot food which is made fresh or sandwiches. They have all kinds of rolls and sides to choose from.Plus they have a variety of sodas and drinks. You have a great owner and staff that are genuinely friendly, courteous, caring, and professional!“

“This deli is fantastic! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The service is excellent—friendly, fast, and attentive. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommended. Best Chefs are Abdula and Dean in my opinion.“

“Hands down the best convenience store/deli in the city. Perfect customer service, very nice owner and a very clean store. I’m from Canada and this was the best hospitality i’ve seen at a store here. Definitely should visit for your everyday needs they have almost everything 🙌🏽“

“Amazing store! I finally ate something with taste? Everything was fresh and very tasty. In the store you can find cold meats, cheeses, everything from Poland?? The lady who served us was very nice and helpful;) The decor in the style of the Polish People's Republic also attracts attention... For a store selling such goods, the prices are quite low.
I recommend! I'll be back there by ? ;)“

“I moved to Bensonhurst back in August. We are 2 professional chefs, couple. We love this store. As a chef, I will always support a business that prioritizes quality and a positive and hospitable environment, no matter how big or small a business is. Today we had American breakfast style and a chocolate chip cookie which they make homemade. Highly recommend that you pass by and enjoy a meal made with care. 😊“
