I grew up in New York City with easy access to Kosher Delis. On Long Island they are few and far between.Pastrami N Friends is as good as they get. Excellently prepared Kosher Deli for eat in or take out. A real treat.

Hyper expensive Kosher Deli with soaring prices and the sandwiches are ridiculously small! If you are going to charge that price so be it, but why make your sandwich so tiny? I saw my sandwich and all in groups sandwiches and all were just shocked at small size! Saw other tables to who were dismayed at tiny size. This is a real clip joint place and a very poor decision by owners to have its prices soar and reduce sandwich size to such a tiny size at same time. Really they are fooling no one. Also of note is a 11 bowl of soup with 1 matzah ball ! Left hungry with a huge lunch bill! Felt really ripped off, will not be back!

I ordered a 1/2 a pound of chicken salad Couldnt see it from the counter they had it in the kitchen. As it came from the kitchen to the counter, the total was $12.50 for a half pound of chicken salad. This was by far the worst chicken salad I ever had. It was super heavy and loaded in mayo, along with it being canned chicken. I threw it out after 2 bites and told them I would never return to this deli. It is very outdated, food is in the open. Doesn't look so clean.

I miss 2nd Ave Deli and this is a good replacement. The staff is friendly. The food is excellent. We brought great grandma here a few times and celebrated her 100 birthday. The brisket, pastrami and corned beef were all delicious, similar to Katz. The tongue is very moist and flavorful but sometimes can be too salty. The chopped liver is superb, the best outside of 2nd Ave Deli. Matzo ball and soup is standard at our table. The rye bread is seedless! Would be a weekly visitor if I lived close by. We recently needed help with catering options and the order came out perfect. All the picky eaters were more than satisfied. We didn't order from the catering menu, but did meat by weight plus other noshes and sides. The price was great and the service pleasant. $250 fed 8 people plus everyone bought home another meal from the leftovers. They thought of everything. They even packed mustard!

Ordered in food from pastrami and friends in Commack this evening spent over 100$ ordered soups over stuffed sandwiches etc. foods always been good. When we got it home the sandwiches didn't look over stuffed. I called the owner said he weighed both sandwiches himself I said ok hung up and placed them on the plates. This is what the sandwich looked like A LUMP OF MEAT no top bread. No Cole slaw no Russian dressing just meat. I called back and he in not so many words, but close, called me a LIAR. Insisted how on earth would he pack a sandwich like that. Rather than saying OMG I'm so sorry I'll make it up to you next time... he turned it around and put the blame on me. Said I must have thrown out the top slice of bread when I unwrapped the sandwich. Well there will be no next time he was so rude they've lost my business. Never ever ever would I go there again

Old school kosher deli feel. Good service. Phenomenal food! Worth the 35 minute trip when there is a deli only 15 minutes away.
