Delis near Rego Park

“**Stephen Cafe / Deli** offers one of the most delicious Tuna Melt sandwiches I've had in years! The flavor is elevated even more with their packets of Cholula Original hot sauce. The cafe has indoor seating/tables for about 10 people and sports playing on overhead TVs. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to offer great recommendations. I will definitely be coming back!“

“I love stopping by this neighborhood corner store for everyday necessities. The exceptional customer service and welcoming atmosphere reflect the heart of a true community space.

I was especially delighted to discover kabocha squash—an unexpected little treasure! The one I purchased was fresh and delicious. I appreciate how this store brings convenience, nourishment, and a touch of discovery to the neighborhood.“

“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!“

“Sandwich was so overstuffed it was almost impossible to eat without making a mess. fresh bread, tons of meat, and somehow everything still tasted balanced. little shop gets crowded around lunch and there’s usually people waiting near the counter. not really a place you hang out for long, more like grab your food and figure it out as you go.“

“Excellent food and bloody Mary’s - great staff and bright and airy decor. Perfect brunch and dinner spot!“

“I love there chop cheese and really every sanwich but I hate ordering at night because the young guy with curly hair always has the phone on so that no calls go through. It's pretty annoying especially when you see there's no orders at that time. Overall love the business.“

“The loaded fries are delicious. I know it looks crazy but this really hits the spot- they’re like hamburger fries. They are so generous with how much they make for you- I won’t have to worry about meals for a while. The good people here will make sure you eat well. SO GOOD!“

“I’ve always passed by this spot and today was the first time I walked in. Alex was very kind and hospitable and I will definitely be going back. If your ever looking for some halal breakfast and deli options these is the place to go. 100/10“

“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.“

“I absolutely adore this old school, multi-generational, Cantonese style bakery. Its pricing and offerings still cater to the old school Chinese crowd. It’s got a huge selection considering its size which translates to a lot of labor and my sense is that they probably rely on volume (fortunately they always seem busy!) for profit like many Chinatown businesses do.

We continue to lose traditional places like this in favor of bubble tea chains and shops that cater towards younger generations and tourists. Please cherish shops like these and keep the Chinatown that serves its own community alive.

Shoutout to the Gen Z daughter behind the counter being able to speak Cantonese AND Mandarin. It’s very rare to see these days with generations that are born here.“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“Great food, large portions and cheep“

“High quality food and top notch service. The online market and delivery offered this year have been fantastic and very convenient. Highly recommend.“

“Great food. Nice clean space and all the guys there are super friendly“

“Fillmore Deli and Backroom is a pretty solid neighborhood spot with a surprising mix of options. The Korean fried chicken is actually really good crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. They also have a large variety of sandwiches, so there’s something for whatever mood you’re in.

One thing that always throws me off though is they tend to run out of the tuna pretty often, which is strange for a deli. But besides that, everything else seems to be okay. It’s a reliable place to grab a quick bite and the food usually hits the spot.“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“The sandwich’s are priceless. The wait is worth it sometimes lol.“

“All 5's, because oh my god. It'll be best for the longevity of all of our lives to keep this place in business, because I have NEVER had such a great sandwich. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is amazing, coffee is bomb. The guys behind the counter are so kind and really quick. Got a breakfast sando, muffin, and parge coffee under $20 bucks in new york, and I don't think thats actually possible anywhere else, and it's better than everywhere else, so why wouldnt I. 100000000/10. Amazed. Go here!“

“The waiters in white coats are busy behind the counter, the menu has not changed for decades, and even the lighting seems to have remained in the last century - this is the old New York I want.“

“The best deli hands down! I’m a vegetarian and I LOVE how they have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Their veggie burgers are AMAZING and let me tell you about their Falafel burger!!!! DELICIOUS!!!!! The store owner and cook are so welcoming and nice! If anyone is around the neighborhood please pay a visit!“

“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.“

“I recently stopped by this deli, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles and quick, attentive service. The place is clean, well-organized, and has that classic deli charm that makes you feel right at home.

The food was the real highlight—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavors that stand out. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, fresh salad, or something warm and comforting, everything is prepared with care. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

Prices are reasonable, and the quality makes it even more worth it. If you’re in the area and want something delicious, satisfying, and made with attention to detail, this deli is definitely worth the stop. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“My Family and I were visiting up from PA for the weekend and decided to come here for breakfast. Not only was the food amazing but service was as well. Place was well kept and coffee was good. The staff were friendly and welcoming, what more could you want?!?“

“I recently visited Habib Deli and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, they have a wide variety of options that will satisfy any appetite.

The service was top-notch as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. I didn’t have to wait long for my order, and they were more than happy to provide recommendations.

The location is perfect—easy to find with plenty of parking, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors.

A special shoutout to Ali, the owner, who greeted me with a warm smile and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s clear that he takes pride in both the food and the atmosphere of his deli. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Habib Deli to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming experience!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My first time going, im around the area and wow the food is delicious and fresh. Wish I knew about this place before, but this is going to be my new to go spot for lunch. Also the cook was super nice and the service was amazing and a super clean spot.“

“Wow 😮 who knew such flavors come from 🌱 basic wonderful fresh and delicious 😋 A.T.M Is original with a zestful layering ,each bite has bring an awesomeness!“

“I go here every day, i pass 3 or 4 delis on my way there because the service is exceptional, the sandwiches are classic and made with care, the coffee is cheap and surprisingly good, but mainly i go because i see how they treat people in a genuine decent way, in a world where love and care is dwindling, these guys have become part of my daily routine and its a pleasure to spend my money there and to be greeted every day by name with a smile .“

“Amazing deli. Talked to Mohammed a for a few minutes while I was waiting for my food to get ready. Everyone was coming in and out quickly. I had the chicken quesadilla which Mohammed recommended, and it was probably the best I’ve ever had.“

“Check out my IG @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. David’s Brisket House in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is a real piece of NYC food history. The shop has been around for more than 50 years and still serves some of the best sandwiches in the city. We ordered the famous “3 The Hard Way” to try all three classics: pastrami, brisket, and corned beef. Each one was stacked high on rye, and the flavors were incredible. The brisket had that perfect smoky edge, and the pastrami was full of spice and tenderness. You can feel the legacy in every bite. It’s casual, local, and full of character. If you want an authentic deli experience in Brooklyn, this is the spot to visit.“

“Best deli sandwich of all time. Make sure J is on the grill he’s top 2 and not number 2. Prices are extreme reasonable especially for the area. Make sure to give it a visit. Bonus everything is halal and organic and locally sourced!!!“

“The sandwiches were delicious and what really impressed me was the customer service. I ordered the S3 Fireman and thought the chipotle chicken was shredded chicken mixed with chipotle sauce. I didn't realize it was actually a shredded chicken chipotle cold cut. I love cold cuts, but unfortunately I can't have them at the moment, so I asked if it would be possible to substitute grilled chicken instead. They were so nice and made me a whole new sandwich. I felt bad, but they were very understanding and took care of it without any attitude.

I come here from time to time whenever I'm in the neighborhood. I live in Downtown Brooklyn which isn't that far away, but it's also not close enough that I can just walk a few blocks to grab a sandwich. One thing I really love is their extensive menu. They have all kinds of sandwiches, wraps, breakfast items, and smoothies so there's always something new to try.“

“Delicious Breakfast Poutine!!!“

“Vegan food that makes love to your mouth! My first time having Jerked Seitan. OMG! Definitely worth getting with the avocado.“

“Always enjoy coming to this deli. Always being one of those late customers, coming in around 1-2am or close to when they closing. Always greeted, friendly guys working here, and the food. Even if I order the same thing as usual. Always the best! Will continue to come here and plus with more selection of snacks and treats. Don’t forget the cat. Yall should definitely give it a visit too!! ‼️💯“

“Friendly staff good food highly recommend this deli“

“The lunch specials are delicious! Quick delivery, large portions, food hot, need the meatloaf recipe!!!! lol!! Thank you!“

“Blue Star always comes through in the clutch. It pains me to have moved out of daily range of this place. Vic, Mo, and Rudolpho are truly the best- never failed to make me, my roommates, and friends feel welcome and always took care of us with excellent service.

Will be back soon my friends! ??“

“Federal Gourmet is a convenient neighborhood deli offering a wide range of sandwiches, snacks, and quick bites. The food is fresh, portions are generous, and everything is made efficiently. It’s a reliable spot when you need something fast, simple, and satisfying on the go.“

“Please don’t change what you do, just keep doing what you’re doing. The food is awesome no complaints from BEC to sandwiches or wraps, its great overall. The owners know me well, very nice folks and the cooks are awesome as well. I live in Coney Island and I go here to get my BEC because thats how good is it! God bless 🇺🇸“

“I stop here every chance I get when I’m in the neighborhood (so much so that they’ve
remembered my order). The gluten-free wrap is always delicious and prepared with so much care. I love this place! It’s hard to find delis with good gluten-free options, so I was really excited to discover this one.“

“So this store have everything you need from food and personal items from medicine, hand soap and toothpaste and much more things you will need in your household. And let’s not forget about the food, it’s amazing as well. The cook is friendly and accommodating.Leo is amazing and have good customer service and he make you smile and make you happy with his great personality. When you come to this store you would feel welcoming.“

“Kips Bay Deli is my go-to spot! The food is always fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly. Their sandwiches are generously packed, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Great selection of snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the neighborhood!“

“Sunny & Annie’s Deli in New York was a place where you could truly feel the authentic vibe of everyday local life blending with a wave of creative energy. I highly, highly recommend their signature menu, the Pho Sandwich—it is absolute perfection!“

“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.“

“Service was absolutely 💯
Walked past looking for a quick meal after a long day of walking around town as a couple of tourists. Saw the proprietor outside and he welcomed us in and took care of us like family 💗

We'll be back tomorrow morning for breakfast 🥚 🥓 🥑“
