50 Best Delis in Jamaica

“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.“

“This was so good. I didn't realize how badly I was craving this until I ate it. Hit the spot. It's SO much better than the hotel & airport food, it's not even fair. If you're staying nearby, go take that quick walk. You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Sometimes it's worth going extra mile to get what you want. 144 Rockaway Deli has REAL bacon, and other things .But This store has some good smoothies had to grab some before I headed out. It's usually a line because everybody's trying to get their order.But definitely worth the wait. I'm definitely going back to get a smoothie“

“I absolutely love this spot! AzA Deli & Grill has become my go-to deli in Queens — every visit is consistently great. The food is fresh, flavorful, and always prepared just the way I like it. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Whether I’m grabbing a quick bite on the go or picking up something delicious for later, this place never disappoints.

“Prices for this economy aren’t terrible at all, he markets great, offered free juice (amazing btw) orange , ginger, lemon, carrots , very delicious and healthy, Carlos is just a positive and kind person and it’s a great personality to have in this business, he’s very very kind and this is definitely my new spot for the area. His omlettes and iced coffee are amazing, and the store is well kept and clean , you can tell it’s a clean business 10/10“

“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

“My boyfriend and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this deli. GREAT BREAKFAST SANDWICHES. AMAZING CHEESEBURGERS. DELICIOUS CHICKEN QUESADILLAS. I can’t say enough good things about this deli. So glad to have such a great place in the neighborhood. We visit every day and will continue to do so.“

“Great fresh food. Love the burgers“

“If you're going to go here for the sandwiches go here after 10:00 p.m. there is a kid working there He's Spanish The only Spanish kid working there, he makes the best sandwich. And don't be afraid to make an order that is close to a specialty sandwich he will do it and it will be a good price.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are safe here during the morning but late afternoon into the night I wouldn't recommend it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not wheelchair accessible.“

“B&B Deli is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, the sandwiches are on point, and the service is quick and consistent. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast or lunch, they’ve got something for everyone.

Huge shout-out to Hassan and Mina — they’re not only great at what they do, but they’ve got amazing personalities and will definitely make you laugh. It’s more than just grabbing food — it’s a good vibe every time you walk in.

Can’t stop by in person? They’re also available on DoorDash, so you can enjoy your favorites delivered right to your door. Highly recommend B&B Deli for top-notch service, great food.“

“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“

“Alright for me my client hates the orders he's been getting thinks its to little cheese as for me its just right. Idk about other people but yeah, would be 5 stars if they can stock there beef stew supplie more I am almost starving for beef stew...“

“Sells very good Mexican productsAlthough on one occasion they forgot to package my two flans jj but at the same time it happened and they gave them to me;) Of course I said hello to the girl who tends to wear glasses! very friendly and pretty!.. My IG @victorchido“

“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!“

“The people is good they serve you good the guy in the deli he makes the sandwiches with good it Cooks good the service is good that's why I give it a 5-star the Dominican good job I have no problem with them so I can I recommend it that you go there“

“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.“

“They serve very fresh & piping hot coffee!!“

“Delicious cream cheese bagel & good cup of tea here after going to the local museum before heading back to London. The bagels are really fresh and made on the spot and very reasonable. Really friendly staff who were very polite and attentive. 🙏🏼“

“Great Food awesome atmosphere, everyone is treated like family!!!“

“179 Deli is a fantastic neighborhood staple for picking up quick snacks, daily essentials, or a custom-made sandwich on the run. The deli counter turns out loaded rolls and heroes that are prepared fresh right in front of you with quality ingredients. The staff is energetic and quick, helping keep the morning and lunch lines moving at a steady pace. It is an incredibly convenient, reliable shop to have around for a quick meal or a fast grocery stop.“

“fries are bussin.“

“This is my go to spot to get any type of sandwich I am craving! From breakfast, lunch and dinner everything they make here is 100% fresh and made with love. The employees are amazing, so welcoming, and understanding. I sometimes order on the phone and if you order often they remember your order! Now to me— that’s an excellent way to keep and maintain rapport with customers. The buffet is amazing as well, they have a variety of proteins and carbs to choose from which is great.“

“Bright inviting newly opened corner deli at Farmers/Linden. Featuring hot/cold sandwiches, smoothies, health drinks, salads and popular grab and go items.
Suggestive staff assists with selections.
Finishing touches still underway as deli is open for business. My chicken sandwich and steak sandwich neatly prepared and taste as I expected
*****“

“Loved the soup. Potatoes 🥔 were great and soda is plenty.“

“Friendly neighborhood deli which has good sandwiches, chicken wings , fries , shrimps and many more to offer. Their staff are always very welcoming. They'll smile at you and ask you if you need any help. The coffee is good too! They'll always go overboard in to get you a better service. That's why I keep going back.“

“Ahmed and the boys make phenomenal food. This an automatic purchase whenever I’m around. Not the healthiest option but definitely the tastiest option. 10/10 spot and awesome banter. Place has been around since I was a kid, love the food love the prices!!!“

“Truck driver waiting on my load to get ready and thank goodness I found and discovered this Cafe JJ , deli . The food is truly amazing ? I believe this is the best tasting food I have had in a long time . They offer a wide variety of items you will have many choices to make of which sounds best for you . Me and my teammate have now ate food here 10 times now it’s never a disappointment. Thank you to the cooks and workers here truck drivers appreciate this business so much“

“They make amazing ? heroes. I like the Philly cheesesteak, especially and the price extremely reasonable. You can call ahead and just pick it up, no wait.

Parking: Parking you will find it on the street but it is free, if you park on the other side of the taxi service. I definitely would not go at 3 pm. When the elementary school is letting out.“

“They make the best sandwiches with loads of meat onions peppers however u like it, and their Halal food is the best. I go there to get my chicken over rice all the time, they make it with care and take their time. 24hr service and they sell beer.“

“My son had a project for international day at school and he represented Ireland. We needed to take a famous Irish dish and corn beef was requested. This was the only deli that had corn beef and believe me I checked atleast 15 delis. I was able to order pick up and had zero wait time.“

“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.“

“Love the place, a bit more cost than other stores but pretty worth it, they clean the grill everyday from what I hear and sometimes they tell you to wait after they clean the grill which I know takes time when you are in a rush, but a bit better to know they don't want to contaminate your food. Products inside are good, wide selection of drinks and they make smoothies too“

“Fantastic local deli. Offering hot sandwiches and homemade pasta and potato salad plus a variety of cold sandwiches, too. Didn't get dessert but they had a variety to choose from. Visited while traveling, just a short walk from the Fairfield. We would definitively return for another meal!!“

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

“This deli make fresh Salads and smoothies daily. You can order breakfast sandwiches and there is also daily specials. There no place to dine in, only take out ! If you are on the go this is a good place to get the New York deli experience. It is also very clean .“

“Ordered from Wonder Ridgewood 3 times now. Like any kitchen, some dishes are better than others. Worth a try if you want something that's hard to get. They have decent southern style BBQ, which isn't available anywhere else near me. Service, pickup, and delivery have all been great

First 2: Tejas BBQ, 5*
Both times equally good. 3 perfect pencil thick pieces of smokey brisket that include point and flat. Tender and not too fatty. Decent bark with solid flavor and smoke ring throughout. Sweet salty cornbread that's perfectly cooked.

Tejas from Wonder definitely exceeded my expectations. Best available BBQ option in my area for now.

3rd Order: Thai food by SriPraPhai, 3*
- Chicken Pad Thai: Something may have been wrong with my order. I did not enjoy it. Food tasted ok, but I needed to fry the meal in a pan to get it cooked enough. If you're craving Pad Thai, order from one of the many authentic Thai restaurants nearby. The Wonder app prompted me for a review, and once I selected a poor rating for this dish I was quickly connected with Wonder customer service who offered a speedy hassle free resolution.
- Tofu Panang Curry: Pretty good! Better than some of the others I've had in the area. Thicker curry with nice sized chunks of well cooked tofu and veggies. Mild spicy you can feel. Good rice. Wouldn't rush back for it, but if you're ordering from Wonder and craving curry it's worth a try!“
