I have been on the hunt for a good pastrami sandwich in buffalo for what feels like, and haven't had much luck finding a that had one, let alone a good one. Risa's has knocked that craving out of the park.
I had lunch combo, a bowl of matzo ball soup and the half a pastrami sandwich. I would be hard pressed to find a better, more stratifying lunch deal for as good of a price pretty much anywhere. I cannot recommend it as a lunch spot highly enough. Classics done simple and done right.
I also tried the lemon bar and the peanut butter bar. The lemon bar is perfectly serviceable, I have no complaints even if it's nothing special. That peanut butter bar thought? Man that thing was so so good. Huge and rich too, I'm glad I was splitting it.
My friend and I were making plans to come back and what we would try next before we even finished eating. I wish i'd taken a picture but it was so good I was halfway finished before I even thought about it.

A hidden gem around the corner from my midwife's office!

Such a gem of a deli with warm, welcoming service—often from Risa herself, which makes it feel extra special. I usually go for the amazing lox bagels, but honestly, there are so many tasty options on the menu.
It’s always worth popping in when you’re nearby.

A great little hidden gem in Buffalo. A well executed and simple BEC, (not splitting the culinary atom and you don't have to) homey type feel very fair pricing, and warm customer service. This will be my breakfast spot every time I am in Buffalo! Thanks!

We were visiting Buffalo and we're looking for a good local deli and Risa's did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken noodle soup was simple yet rich and hearty and no doubt it was homemade. We also had three sandwiches: the Reuben, BLT, and roast beef. I've had a lot of Reubens but this was by far one of the tastiest. All of our sandwiches were made to order and full of meat and toppings. I was greeted immediately upon entering with a warm and friendly welcome. I highly recommend Risa's deli.
First time trying and it was delicious. My dad and I got the lunch special cup of matzo ball soup and half corned beef and Pastrami for $9.50 with two drinks it was $24. Very flavorful and nice lady behind the counter. I will definitely go again
Beautiful place with such a comfy atmosphere. Food is absolutely delicious!

Fantastic deli with wonderful, friendly service from the eponymous Risa herself. I get delicious lox bagels here but so many things you can get here are delicious. Always worth a stop.
