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 !“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I was making sauce with my tomato harvest and wanted some quality suasages to pair with it so stopped in. The homemade sausages were fantastic! The standard grocery store will always have a place, but honestly its places like this that add character to a neighborhood and make cooking a meal an exciting adventure! Highly recommend!“

“Good is always freshly made and in a timely manner. Place is very clean and the owners and other staff are very friendly. If you are ever in the area I would highly suggest stopping by for a bite to eat!!!“

“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’m new to the Neighbourhood, but I just found my new spot. Tommy’s deli Is a nice convenient and well Established. The owner Angela was very nice very respectful and the way she ran her business and the entire presentation is a five out of five. It’s A+. She’s a great individual.
More so I had a dilemma and I just casually run it up with her, A stranger that just met while she was making me a sandwich
She gave me amazing advice and she made me feel a whole lot better About myself
The drinks and the food that I ordered from the place were delicious and I will find myself going there again.“

“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!“

“Got on a GrubHub delivery. food arrived on time fresh and well wrapped. sandwich was delicious.
My recommendations would be semolina bread in exchange for Italian bread.
the prosciutto berata is what I ordered I would have added red peppers to it to give it that extra taste other than that it was delicious“

“Had a job nearby and was going here damm near every day. Their food is really good and fairly priced. It's a lot of things I had never tried before and they were all great. Owner and the staff are really chill too. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area!“

“Excellent tuna! Service was really friendly.“

“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!“

“very good food The best service“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“yum yum....nom nom.... two tries. two salads. both awesome. i'll be back again and again :)))“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This family owned deli has been upgrading their services, their quality of food every year for the past 6 yrs. I totally recommend anyone to visit the store. Two brother work hard and represent the community to their very best. They are good friendly very understanding people who helps the community in any way they can. The school right across the street can vouch for who they are along with the construction workers. 5 star“

“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.“

“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.

“I love stopping by Mocha Deli for breakfast—it’s one of my go-to spots. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the staff are genuinely friendly, which makes a big difference when you’re starting your day.

Flaco is my favorite—he really stands out. He knows me so well that some days I don’t even have to order. I just let him decide what I’m having for breakfast or lunch, and he always gets it right. That kind of personal touch keeps me coming back.

If you’re looking for good food and great service, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Oh Habibi, I need my Garden Salsa Sun Chips!“

“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“

“It’s a deli so atmosphere is deli, the cashier are really nice . Definitely call in advance bec the wait for food is about 15-20 min. The Oreo waffles are my favorite. It is soft fluffy and so tasty. The fruity pebble French toast is also a good bite. Only negative is the fried chicken tasted like the oil it was fried in. May need to cleaning out there oil trap other than that . I would rate this place a solid 9.“

“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 …“

“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.“

“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! 🍔🥪🥤“

“Love this bodega! Living around the corner, I’ve been coming since they opened, and I’m so grateful to have a bodega on the block, especially one that’s open 24/7. I don’t love all the changes since the new ownership, but it’s not that huge of a deal. Would love it if they started selling some fresh produce like avocados, and pre-cut fruit cups, and ESPECIALLY more vegetarian+vegetarian protein options in the deli and bring back the selection of lactose-free canned coffees. I just need some healthy options that align with my dietary needs 😩 there’s not even dairy-free ice cream.

The food is decent—it’s a bodega so keep your expectations in check. Very generous with the portions! Could do a better job listening, as frequently enough there’s at least one incorrect aspect to my order.

Someone posted a review a month ago and mentioned being judged for using EBT, but they haven’t accepted EBT as payment in several months now, so I’m not sure if they’re straight up lying or if this was something that happened a long time ago. I’ve never had anything but super friendly service and never once felt judged for using EBT, in fact there was one time I didn’t know I could use my EBT on a specific product and they did me a major solid and let me know. Plus, the person working the counter is usually watching shoppers pretty closely. Not to say the reviewer definitely is lying, it’s just the details don’t add up.“

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