This 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

So 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 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

This 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

Can’t go wrong with the Brisket or Patrami sandwhich
Deb WunderMay 19, 2017
The 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.
Daveed BuzagloJune 27, 2019
Some of the best deli I’ve had in the city, no gimmicks or shtick, just straight up great deli!
EthanFebruary 20, 2018
Non-negotiable: you have gravy with your brisket sandwich. Also the pastrami is insanely juicy and delicious. I’ll never go back to Katz’s.
David WSeptember 5, 2018
Pastrami is lean, on the dryer side, but really nicely spiced. A solid pastrami sandwich! Pickles are great too.
Mike FriedmanDecember 7, 2014
David'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.
Kim BootheMay 15, 2018
Brisket 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!!!!

Only in NY. A Muslim-run Jewish deli. GOOD pastrami and their Brooklyn Cheesesteak is made with brisket. A Bed-Stuy gem.
Cole KennedyApril 19, 2015
The prices have jumped up ($12 for a regular), and there's no longer a small option. The pastrami is still killer, though.
David SolimanoJanuary 31, 2021
Excellent cured meats and everything that goes with it. The ruben is superb.
Serious EatsMarch 20, 2013
A Jewish deli institution now operated by Muslims. Great brisket and pastrami: tender, full bodied, and resoundingly rich.

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!

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.
Kimmie OhhNovember 17, 2019
Get the pastrami & corned beef combo sandwich!
Sam GilAugust 20, 2018
Brisket is really good. Better than Katz overall, but they only charge more for the history. Nicer to get takeaway.

Ask for your sandwich with a side of brisket-drippings gravy, just to gild the sandwich lily. Read more

You come here for the awesome sandwiches, not the atmosphere. Mouthwatering Pastrami and Brisket Beef. If you have room…have a dessert.

Pastrami was excellent, and for the price unbelievable. Very friendly guys too.
Christian ChenNovember 17, 2014
The prices seem unreasonable for its venue atmosphere and location but I must say, the brisket I had was amazing.

Brisket is amazing. Greasy spoon but friendly staff and never more than five minute wait for your sandwich.
Rachel W.April 15, 2012
Delicious pastrami (and brisket!) for a 1/3 of the price of Katz's. The small is more than enough food.
Zina AlamJune 21, 2016
Best place for pastrami/ deli meats - i think its better than Katz's.
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

I've had better corn beef in Michigan. I respect the heritage but I would go back.
Joe JaffeFebruary 24, 2013
Things 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.
Alex StillNovember 27, 2017
