For over $5 ($6.50 to be exact) for a breakfast sandwich, I expected more. The justification of the price was because there was cheese on the sandwich. The sandwich was very bland to be so overpriced. I saw reviews saying this deli was expensive but it was after the fact. The guy in the front was friendly but that doesn't make a sandwich being $7 okay. I was in a rush and should have waited to go down the block on 28th Street to the cart that was doing breakfast smh.

You can literally taste no love in his food. From the sandwiches to the breakfast omelettes even the damn beef patty, nothing has any flavor. Maybe the shakes are good, but I wouldn’t order any food from there ever again.

The brothers here are very nice mashaAllah. The two stars is for that. But their food unfortunately gave me poisoning and I was sick my entire 3 day stay at New York and wasn’t able to eat anything else. I’ve never felt like this before either. It was a deep and violent sickness even 3 days after.

We ordered cheesy fries and a fajita but when we got to our hotel everything was wrong. We had two cheese burgers, a burrito, and two fries with nothing on them. So we brought it back because I couldn’t eat anything due to an allergy. The cook screamed at us, said we were “lucky” for getting the food we didn’t order, said that it was our fault because we didn’t know what we ordered when we had to correct him 3 different times for the same items and even pointed to the items on the menu. He refused to give a refund and insists on trying to belittle you in front of the store. After several minutes of arguing and correcting him he finally somewhat understood and gave us only the cheese fries with bacon. The cheese was very clumpy and thick. I would have preferred something from a can. The cook is very aggressive and it is not the best first impression for an out of stater. I will never be coming back here even as a last resort. I’d rather eat something off the subway than be belittled for an allergy I have and couldn’t eat anything they provided as well as being overpriced. 40 dollars for a sandwich, two cheese fries and two drinks. Should have been 28 maximum and they charged us almost 40 dollars. ( yes I checked the menu prices)

Disappointed!
This deli used to be my go-to spot for delicious food and friendly service. But lately, it's gone downhill. The food quality has dropped significantly, the prices have gotten outrageous, and staff are very rude.

This is my first time and will be my last time to order food from this place. I was ordered a cheeseburger and philisteak . I found a bolt inside my philisteak sandwich, lucky I didn’t swallow it. Also one of the employee trying to making fun, cursing to the customers using a language that he thought the customer doesn’t understand it . Seriously disgusting behavior .
