50 Best Delis in Brooklyn

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

“The loaded fries are delicious. I know it looks crazy but this really hits the spot- they’re like hamburger fries. They are so generous with how much they make for you- I won’t have to worry about meals for a while. The good people here will make sure you eat well. SO GOOD!“

“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 .“

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

“Friendly staff good food highly recommend this deli“

“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! ??“

“The sandwiches were delicious and what really impressed me was the customer service. I ordered the S3 Fireman and thought the chipotle chicken was shredded chicken mixed with chipotle sauce. I didn't realize it was actually a shredded chicken chipotle cold cut. I love cold cuts, but unfortunately I can't have them at the moment, so I asked if it would be possible to substitute grilled chicken instead. They were so nice and made me a whole new sandwich. I felt bad, but they were very understanding and took care of it without any attitude.

I come here from time to time whenever I'm in the neighborhood. I live in Downtown Brooklyn which isn't that far away, but it's also not close enough that I can just walk a few blocks to grab a sandwich. One thing I really love is their extensive menu. They have all kinds of sandwiches, wraps, breakfast items, and smoothies so there's always something new to try.“

“So this store have everything you need from food and personal items from medicine, hand soap and toothpaste and much more things you will need in your household. And let’s not forget about the food, it’s amazing as well. The cook is friendly and accommodating.Leo is amazing and have good customer service and he make you smile and make you happy with his great personality. When you come to this store you would feel welcoming.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best deli sandwich of all time. Make sure J is on the grill he’s top 2 and not number 2. Prices are extreme reasonable especially for the area. Make sure to give it a visit. Bonus everything is halal and organic and locally sourced!!!“

“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!!“

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

“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 🇺🇸“

“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!!!“

“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 🥚 🥓 🥑“

“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 😀.“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CHICKEN AND RICE with Salad. Don't forget the heavenly chocolate Cake. Prices great. Service out of this world“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“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! 👏🥪🥤“

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

“I had a great experience at Wonder. The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly. I loved having so many different restaurant options all in one place, which made it easy for me while I work. The ordering process was simple, the staff was friendly, and everything was prepared perfectly. I love the chips and queso from lime salt! Yummy ❤️“

“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.“

“Kind of amazing how big the menu is for the size of this little spot, and the food is solid across the board. The guys that work here are super friendly, and clearly want you to have everything the way you want it. If 4.5 stars was an option here, I'd give 'em that. Will definitely be back for chicken over rice and an Oreo shake.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“These guys are simply the best! They have great customer service and are always there to help. Add to it the amazing food and it’s by far the best bodega in Park Slope. I haven’t eaten anything that I wasn’t happy with but I highly recommend the steak quesadilla!“

“I’m not sure if it’s Sam, or whoever is back there making food, but every time I order a deli sandwich from them, it’s just okay.

Dude making the sandwich didn’t even ask if I wanted it toasted this last one. It was disgusting by the way. You should not be in the kitchen if you do not want to make the food, or the customer annoy you. It was that bad, where I needed to leave a review🥴“

“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! 🙌🫶“

“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.“

“Tio’s is amazing, food is great, staff is always friendly and has great vibes. This has been my favorite spot ever since moving to the neighborhood.
Recommend calling ahead to order food since there’s usually a line in the store.“

“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“

“Initially I was pretty disappointed how tiny the burrito was for the price ($16). But then I realized I accidentally ordered the vegetarian breakfast burrito and it added $2, plus I added salsa verde ($1). So I guess the original with meat which I intended to get is $13, which is still on the pricey side. However, it was so delicious and I honestly had no idea the tofu based faux meat was not real chorizo plus I’m full so I can’t complain too much. The salsa verde was soo good, it’s more of a salsa verde crema and paired really nicely with the spicy chorizo so highly recommend adding it. Ordered for delivery directly from their site and it was pretty fast, came earlier than their eta. Overall very happy about this new addition to the neighborhood as I’m a big fan of their original restaurant. Will be trying their other stuff!“

“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!“

“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!“

“It doesn't look like much, but the smoothies are fabulous. Once you get the attention of a staff member, they are polite and quickly work to prepare your order. My tropical smoothie was generous in size for a small and great tasting.“

“Uncle Richie's Deli makesthe absolute BEST sandwiches in Brooklyn! It's owned by a fun couple that is great with customers and they know everyone's name! I highly recommend you stop in for the best coffee and Bacon Egg and Cheese, but stay for the Italian sandwich!“
