50 Best Delis in Jamaica

“I just got back from a trip to NYC and my brother-in-law treated us to dinner from The Halal Guys in Midtown and I knew it would be good since it was the only food cart with a block-long line after midnight. In fact I liked it so much I wanted to see if I could get something similar nearby... and I found it! I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo and while it wasn't quite the same it was still very good. The only difference is it didn't come with the pita bread and the white sauce tasted a bit different, but not bad. It also has more veggies so more "crunch" but next time I'm going to ask to leave them off (I just don't like the crunch...). I'm very happy to have a local option at a good price and generous portions. Thank you Sam's.“

“Catered this weekend - Italian Chicken Cutlet Supreme was awesome. Fresh and delicious. Stuffed cherry peppers were a hit. Salads were amazing but Mediterranean salad was my favorite. Pecan ring with whipped cream was gone in minutes. Thank you Mark (and Milton) for a delicious afternoon remembering my dad with family.“

“Hands down, the best bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich in Queens! This local deli is a hidden gem that delivers quality every time.

The service is fast, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they take pride in their craft. I’ve been to a lot of delis in the city, but this one keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Tons of snack options for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp access in the front.“

“Some of the most down top earth and respectful people in this establishment. All the food good but my personal favorite is THE CHICKEN. I recommend that you order what you like but get a few chickens too?

Kid-friendliness: The deal wit kids all day because there are many schools around. They good with the little people.“

“I'll say this if you're of Latin descent Or Hispanic this place will definitely suit you, it'll be way more accommodating for that culture while at the same time it doesn't feel like it's alienating other cultures black white or other all in all I like the place“

“The food they make is great ??, it’s just a lot of the prices for the items are a bit more expensive than other stores. & sometimes Ock like to throw on a few dollars or cents to your total. That’s why I ask how much is everything individually & tally it up before hand. But food is always fresh & not expired. Love this deli on a late night, it would REALLY help the business a lot more if they kicked out the crackheads & crazy people who always linger or hang out in or in front of the store!!! it look very sketchy & scary to those who aren’t from the hood or area“

“I’m so glad I found this spot. Craving a good deli sandwich but the bodegas around my area have been lackin’ as of late. So, I hit seamless & this spot had a great rating & the photos of the sandwiches looked great. Ordered the “Mayor Sandwich” & a beef patty with coco bread with bacon & pepper Jack… yes, that’s a great combo if you’re wondering.It came and it was wrapped up well with foils and paper - keeping the items nice and warm.The Mayor sandwich was a good combo of chicken cutlet, bacon, mozzarella, and fries! Nicely toasted hero. Delicious & filling. Had to save half for later cuz I devoured that beef patty!I’ve since reordered here 3 other times & it’s been on point.Sadly, didn’t take photos. Will update next time!“

“As a family, we’ve had chicken and beef Philly Cheese Steaks since we were teens. I don’t know how they’ve kept it consistent for over 20 years. We are life time customers and always visit whenever we go to NYC. Canada has nothing that matches this place.“

“I come to this special restaurant often as I love the special atmosphere that is unique to this place. The personel is highly loving and experienced. The service is deeply fast. Not to mention, the food they serve is highly distinguished. I ate there more than once and I was always joyful. The rate is modest. I highly suggest this restaurant to all my friends.“

“Great place, very friendly. Artur and his wife were very helpful showing me around all the various deli and grocery items. I was offered tastes of their offerings, and was glad I tried some new things. The baked items looked great too. Parking was plentiful on a saturday, though the area is a little busy when school lets out (across the street). Great knowing this is so close to home.“

“Nice and clean deli beautiful and delicious 🥘 😋😋😋😋😋“

“1/5/24 7:07pm.The woman making those cheeseburgers deluxe must have magic hands. I haven't taste a deluxe cheeseburger like that since early 2000s in the hood. I tasted everything on that burger, the cheese, onions. Mayo, ketchup, etc. And it was well done and juicy. She's a keeper.“

I just love the respect they give us the owner and his oldest son extremely nice and very respectful to everyone it’s definitely a family oriented place to be,even the younger sons that work there are great workers and very respectful. I love this store so much I wish there were more Deli stores like them. I wanna thank them every time I see them when my card was frozen and I really needed food to give my child and myself some years ago I was in a rough place financially they made me burgers and got some drinks etc and told me to go head and just pay them back when I can. That meant the world to me and that goes to show deep down they’re good people I’m happy God put placed them here.“

“A giant size deli that makes the best sandwiches for breakfast and lunchtime. Any sandwich fresh and made to order. What more could a New Yorker ask for?

Parking: Small parking lot right in front of establishment that’s on a first-come-first-serve basis. However there is plenty of curbside parking on the street.“

“It is a very nice deli, and they have a fair amount of products. I had a turkey and swiss on a roll, lettuce, tomato and mayo. It was very good, reasonably priced at five dollars, especially on Hillside avenue. Definitely will go there again!“

“Previous comment is true. Someone took money from my debit card. I believe it's done by the shady characters hanging outside. They are skimmers. Messing with the machine to get your card info. I'm going to stop going here, now I see it happened to others. Something fishy here.“

“This place is wonderful. It’s a little neighborhood convenience store and deli with a small grill where they make hot sandwiches and some other offerings. I went in and got myself some bacon and eggs for breakfast when I had to deliver in the area. Very reasonable prices, great service, and yummy food. What more could you ask for?“

“I absolutely love this place & their delicious food! I work at the hospital across the street, so I go there frequently for lunch. On the days that I bring lunch from home, I still go to this store to buy my peach Canada Dry drink, that isn’t sold at many delis. The owner and the staff are very friendly & polite. They make me feel good about spending my money there! They are also very attentive! One day I walked in and browsed the Naked smoothies & I didn’t see the one I liked. They asked what flavor I wanted so I showed them a picture. That very same week, they ordered the flavor for me. This place has truly made me feel valued as a customer! I’d recommend anyone that lives or work in the area to check them out!“

“I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door.“

“(Translated by Google) The store is somewhat outdated, but has quite a variety of products despite having a fairly limited space. They also offer take away food that is quite good and at an affordable price.It is very useful for neighbors and customers of nearby hotels, who do not have any option to eat or buy products around.I bought two chicken breast sandwiches and a pint Gatorade for $ 11.(Original)La tienda está algo obsoleta, pero tiene bastante variedad de productos a pesar de disponer de un espacio bastante limitado. Además ofrecen comida para llevar que está bastante bien y a un precio asequible.Es muy útil para los vecinos y los clientes de los hoteles cercanos, que no disponen de ninguna opción para comer o comprar productos alrededor.Compré dos sándwiches de pechuga de pollo y un Gatorade de medio litro por 11$.“
