Delis near Oakland Gardens

“After a long awaited trip to the store, it did NOT disappoint! I ordered The Casa, fresh mozzarella and burrata. Life may never be the same and I’ll be making more trips to the Bronx for the best cheese I’ve ever had!“

“Awesome italian deli with great bread and sandwhiches. They also have a small hot table w prepared foods and a small section of imported Italian goods and mets memorabilia. They own the bakery next door and I saw someone who ordered some amazing looking french toast and bacon egg n cheese on foccacia. They have a garden patio with seating and a fountain that you can sit at and enjoy. The garden area reminds me of my grandparents and elderly relatives. Love how the painted mural has the Bari mentioned.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, 24 years to be exact now, place gets better and better. Very home feel to the shop. A real staple in the community. Lovely family. If you want quality Italian food in Queens/NYC this is where you come to.“

“Awesome service and delicious food. definitely 5 star Deli“

“This is an amazing Family Owned Deli. The food here is beyond compare and prepared fresh. Ask for the Off Menu Items! They are hidden Gems!“

“Forget bout everywhere else. Joe’s is the place to go. Mozzarella is the best - light airy milky and when you ask for unsalted you get unsalted. Only problem is that they run out of items if it’s later in the day. So go early.“

“10 stars!! I ordered full trays of meatballs, penne with red sauce, chicken francese, garden salad and half tray of eggplant for my baby shower. My family and friends loved the food and everyone asked where the food was catered from. Thank you so much for the delicious food, We’ll be ordering again !“

“I’ve visited Gorkha Deli & Cafe multiple times, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with care. My favorite is the chopped chicken sandwich, and the fries are amazing too. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a great experience. Definitely one of my favorite local spots!“

“The food here is very good and reasonably priced. It’s clean, bright, and has lots of menu options to choose from with new specials ask the time. The workers are very friendly and make the trip there enjoyable. Highly recommend this deli!“

“Not too long ago I switched to this deli because my other deli was letting me down. Ever since I’ve been coming to here it never disappoints the food is always good. The service is very good very understanding, fast, nice. The store is very clean and you can find what you’re looking for very easily.“

“The staff is always welcoming and eager to please. their sandwiches are awesome and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended. PS: They also cater to please!“

“I've been coming from Orange County every week for the last 2 years to watch my grandsons a few days each week. We make it part of our day to take a walk and always stop in for a snack or a sandwhich. Sam and his wife are lovely, friendly people and always make a fuss over the babies. The store is immaculate and the Korean food is not to be missed. The Bulgogi hero is my favorite go to sandwhich....Highly recommend !“

“The food is excellent and their customers are important to them. They always go that extra mile to please them. The food is always fresh & “delish” (from their wonderful breakfasts to their homemade salads, chef’s salads, sandwiches…especially their Tambi’s Special…to their hearty home cooked meals). I don’t know anyone who doesn’t speak highly of Tamburino’s.“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“Great food. Friendly staff. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.“

“Fresh food … always delicious. We ordered chicken parmesan for dinner. Everyone loved it. Chicken was moist and flavorful! Side of eggplant rollatini was perfect! Crowd favorite! Highly recommend!“

“I love this place, I've been going here ever since I was a kid and everything about it is perfect! The ambience, the employees, the locals, this is a New York Bagel place at heart. Not to mention, the bagels, pastries and cream cheeses are incredible. I've moved away and yet make an effort to come here every single time I come back!“

“Excellent tuna! Service was really friendly.“

“After numerous attempts with different places, I finally found a place that satisfied my wife's craving for a GOOD, FRESH-TASTING chicken cutlet sandwich. Chicken was freshly breaded & grilled upon my order, great portion, no complaints. Service was great too, the ladies working there were very friendly & welcoming. I'd definitely go back.“

“I’ve lived in the community since 2007 and this deli is hands down the best in the neighborhood. The selection is always on point, from snacks and drinks to those random household items you suddenly need at the worst time. Now at 30, I can honestly say there’s no other deli I trust or go to for food. Consistently reliable, well-stocked, and a staple in the community.“

“Great deli! Great variety, fast, and always clean! Highly recommend their French vanilla ice coffee and peanut butter Overnight Oats, salad bar, and rice pudding. Sandwiches are also quality. Update: Ordered a nice custom Italian style sandwich, and Tommy did it right!“

“My wife wanted to have my 50th birthday party catered, she was looking on City Island where we reside but the prices were out of control. I reminded her of Tinos, where we have in the past got 3 foot heroes and antipasto platters. We called and that was all she wrote! Delivery on time and the food was out of this world!! Anna hooked us up. We will be going with Tinos deli from now on. Thank you so much!!!! Everything was Amazing!!!!!!“

“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.

“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.“

“Came to New York from Florida and was on the hunt for an authentic deli for the famous BECSPK and came across brothers deli.
Upon walking in, the young man at the register was dealing with a customer fighting over 5 cents trying to scam the store. I watched it all unfold. The worker kept his cool, stayed firm on his response and professional.
Even after the customer left he didn’t complain about the interaction! I like that!
We joked and talked about visiting home ( NY) after being away for many years and the nostalgic candies we saw waiting.
Needless to say, we came back almost daily for their breakfast. Absolutely perfect, they accommodated our allergy request and was greeted with a smile and nice conversation each time. There is something special about knowing your value in a store and they definitely made us feel welcome, for a little corner deli, They are making a nice footprint in the community!
We would love to comeback and say hi during our next visit!
PS! Thanks for the KitKats!!! You guys are great!!“

“Places like this are why I say Long Island NY has the best food in the world. The staff looks and acts like they're focused on quality food and service. The deli itself is clean and organized. Get one of their sandwiches (I recommend corned beef) and for about 12 bucks you have a fine lunch or dinner.“

“I love Sal’s. I have not been here in a while and I stopped in today and got the Sal’s special and an iced tea and it was fantastic. The food is always excellent here. Breakfast or lunch, you will always get a great meal. Andrew is such a nice guy. You are always greeted with respect here. If you want a great meal with really great service, do yourself a favor and check this place out.“

“very good food The best service“

“One of the best delis I’ve been to. So many options to pick from…The sandwich was made super fast and tasted fresh and flavorful, and just how I wanted it. The smoothie was not too sweet, just right. Great service and quality. Definitely recommend stopping by!“

“Best of the Best 12 /20/25 Lg stew Chicken rice Bk Beans..Yuca and PotatoeSalad..Delicious
Plus got a Lg Chicken soup smelt so good it didnt make it out of parking lot..It was loaded Chayote.carrot corn plantain chicken.
Wow.Pix of Food. Sorry no pix of soup it went fast on a cold day or im greedy😂😂“

“Wish I could post a pic of the sandwich I bought, it was stacked and received great customer service. Surprised at the review with the 1 star, bcus I had a great experience
I even jokingly told the guy he needs to bring his EBT machine back. Very nice people.“

“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.“

“I was working locally and decided to grab lunch from Wheeler Deli after reading the reviews. The deli is smaller and quaint but has a large case of Boars Head meats, salads, and desserts. I ordered an American Hero, sides of macaroni salad, and potato salad, and a piece of the banana bread. They got right to making my order and the wait time was less than 5 minutes. My sandwich was fresh, crisp, and delicious. The salads were creamy and had great flavor. The banana bread was outstanding; dense and sweet and flavorful. The total for food and a drink was less than $25 which was a great value. I’ll be back.“

“Great sandwiches! friendly staff! We wish you the best!“

“The food I bought was so good!! Cannot wait to go back for more. The people were extremely nice and very helpful.“

“nice people ,,good service“

“They say never judge a book by its cover ..
If it wasn’t for my friend who took me I would never have tasted a super tasty delicious toasted bagel with running eggs, melted cheese and extra grilled bacon topped with black peppers …

Just yummy yummy for my fat, well fatter tummy as I ended up asking for another one …

Super great and friendly staff made the whole experience even better.

Thanks for taking me there Jay …
Let’s go again :))

And so we did go again as I had to have that tasty bagel again. Yes I ended up having two more …

And I went one last time as I was leaving Kew Gardens and this time I had two more bagels added with fresh tomorrows and avocado …

So yummy …“

“Everything on this menu is great. Best dominican delicacies you can try. The staff is always welcoming & they have no problem pointing out what plate suits best for you and your taste buds.

Everything is delicious here, no one should have any issues.“

“Great sandwiches. Good staff. Great hot food. But the prices are unaffordable and at this point as much as I love the food, I won't return ever. Ordered 2 heros. Philly cheese steak and a chicken cutlet hero fresh mutz. 1 order of lasagna about 5 inch square and a tiny rice pudding.
Total price 55 dollars.
Sigh. Smh.
Great store. Great food.
But like I said , absolutely unaffordable
Good things never last.
I won't return.“

“Everything this at seven street gourmet deli is amazing and the food is delicious the staff is so friendly and welcoming“

“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. Highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood looking for tasty, affordable deli classics with excellent service! 🍔🥪🥤“

“We had a special request with our catering order and they handled everything perfectly. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Thank you!“

“Delicious heroes made with care. Great service. Nice owners“

“I stopped by this place by chance because I was hungry, and I’m really glad I did. The food was very good. While I can’t say for sure that everything on the menu is amazing, based on the appearance and the flavor of what I ordered, I’m confident that the rest of the food is delicious as well. The staff is very kind and attentive, and the portion size is generous and satisfying. I would definitely come back. 🙂🤝🏻“

“The soup , sandwich’s,the brownies and cheese omelets“

“Who is the best deli in Elmont and will continue to be the best deli“

“You guys did it again! I needed a lot of food for a welcome back teachers event and with only two days notice you guys delivered!!! Literally…food was delicious and delivered on time. The salads (macaroni, potato, Cole slaw) that came along with the order were on point! For reference we had the Marco Polo, siciliano, pork sliders, and the mini sandwiches ( one full tray of vegetarian) EVERYONE came over to us to say how delicious everything was. Thank you Moe and Mike and the Barino’s team!“
