Staff PicksOctober 17, 2014This spot serves up delicious halal pastrami, it has a signature mix of sweet & spice, and with a sizable “small” selling for only $8, it’s a crazy-good deal. Order the killer Reuben sandwich. Read more
Umair ZiaFebruary 9, 2018So damn good. A great alternative to Katz or 2nd Ave Deli if you are (or live) in Brooklyn. No crowds, delicious bountiful Jewish deli style sandwiches, for half the price of the big names
Food NetworkApril 3, 2013Food Network Star Justin Warner recommends that you challenge your appetite to Three the Hard Way, a towering triumph of brisket, corned beef and pastrami between two slices of rye. Via CityEats.com Read more
Daveed BuzagloJune 27, 2019Some of the best deli I’ve had in the city, no gimmicks or shtick, just straight up great deli!
Deb WunderMay 19, 2017The corned beef/brisket combo is amazing. Also, the fries were perfectly done - crispy on the outside, NOT mushy on the inside. And the fellow at the counter was as niceas could be.
- First We FeastAugust 3, 2014This exemplary Jewish deli is run by Yemeni Muslims with Brooklyn accents, and we'd go so far as to say it's Bed-Stuy’s greatest hidden gem. Read more
- David WSeptember 5, 2018Pastrami is lean, on the dryer side, but really nicely spiced. A solid pastrami sandwich! Pickles are great too.
EthanFebruary 20, 2018Non-negotiable: you have gravy with your brisket sandwich. Also the pastrami is insanely juicy and delicious. I’ll never go back to Katz’s.
Kim BootheMay 15, 2018Brisket droll is a thing and it happens both before and after you eat some of the best brisket. They provided the brisket, me the droll! Worth it!!!!
I went here one time a year and a half ago and I wasn't that impressed. Walking in today has totally changed my mind, they fixed the place up a bit. The pastrami was amazing!
Mike FriedmanDecember 7, 2014David's Brisket House in Bed-Stuy is one of those hole-in-the-wall-but-really-good-at-one-thing type of NYC restaurants. Delish.
Cole KennedyApril 19, 2015The prices have jumped up ($12 for a regular), and there's no longer a small option. The pastrami is still killer, though.
Serious EatsMarch 20, 2013A Jewish deli institution now operated by Muslims. Great brisket and pastrami: tender, full bodied, and resoundingly rich.
David SolimanoJanuary 31, 2021Excellent cured meats and everything that goes with it. The ruben is superb.
M MJune 30, 2015Only in NY. A Muslim-run Jewish deli. GOOD pastrami and their Brooklyn Cheesesteak is made with brisket. A Bed-Stuy gem.- First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Ask for your sandwich with a side of brisket-drippings gravy, just to gild the sandwich lily. Read more
The Pastrami on Rye is da bomb. Try also the brisket and or the corned beef on rye with mustard. They also never ever disappoint.
Sam GilAugust 20, 2018Brisket is really good. Better than Katz overall, but they only charge more for the history. Nicer to get takeaway.
The Corcoran GroupApril 11, 2011You come here for the awesome sandwiches, not the atmosphere. Mouthwatering Pastrami and Brisket Beef. If you have room…have a dessert.
- Christian ChenNovember 17, 2014The prices seem unreasonable for its venue atmosphere and location but I must say, the brisket I had was amazing.
Real Cheap EatsNovember 14, 2011"These sandwiches rival any in town. Order up the pastrami and no one will bat an eye if you have it on white bread with mayo. Even the “small” ($6) will ensure a full stomach." Read more
DevontaDecember 24, 2015I've had better corn beef in Michigan. I respect the heritage but I would go back.
Tobias KDecember 22, 2016Pastrami was excellent, and for the price unbelievable. Very friendly guys too.
Tom BeaulieuJuly 9, 2015We LOVE this place and go there regularly! David's turned me into a Rueben lover.
Will DonovanAugust 12, 2014Brisket is amazing. Greasy spoon but friendly staff and never more than five minute wait for your sandwich.- Rachel W.April 15, 2012Delicious pastrami (and brisket!) for a 1/3 of the price of Katz's. The small is more than enough food.
Joe JaffeFebruary 24, 2013Things always seem to be a little hectic or f*cked up for one reason or another at this location, but the food is always great.
Dana FOctober 17, 2012DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. the pastrami is amazing & they sell their meats by the pound if you ask!
Michelle MurrayMay 8, 2016The Pastrami is as good, if not better than Katz for half the price right here in brooklyn!
BruceFebruary 1, 2013I been here before the pastrami and brisket is so damn good I didn't know how to act when I ate it's intense whoa baby
Justin KalifowitzJanuary 5, 2013Worth the trek. Regular size is same size as Katz. Comparable quality, half the price.
