A counter-service deli carving up Jewish-style cured meats piled high on rye bread or rolls, known for its slow-roasted beef brisket dipped in gravy. Originally opened by a Russian Jewish owner in the 1960s, the shop has been run by Yemeni Muslim partners since the 1980s who preserve the original recipes while serving the entire menu strictly halal. Ask the counter staff to slice your meat extra fatty if you prefer maximum tenderness.
★ The Legend
Brisket Beef Sandwich
The beef breast is slow-braised in a humid, closed oven for hours until it collapses into tender, fatty ribbons that yield to the touch. Regulars always order it on a soft club roll rather than rye, making sure to ask the counterman to douse the meat in a ladle of hot, savory pan-dripping gravy.
◆ Fan Favorite
Pastrami Sandwich
This deckle-cut beef is sourced from a halal slaughterhouse, heavily rubbed with coriander and black pepper, brined, and then steamed for several hours before slicing. Order it on rye bread with a generous swipe of spicy brown mustard and pair it with a cold can of black cherry soda.
● Chef's Pick
Brooklyn Cheesesteak Sandwich
This house creation swaps traditional shaved ribeye for their signature slow-cooked smoked brisket, which is griddled with sweet peppers and onions. Co-owner Riyadh Gazali champions this cross-cultural mashup, finishing it with a ladle of rich brisket gravy and melted American cheese on a toasted sub roll.
◇ Hidden Gem
Corned Beef Egg
Most tables miss this breakfast specialty because they only associate the deli with towering lunch sandwiches. Regulars know to order these eggs scrambled on a griddle with salty, house-cured corned beef and served on buttered toast with a side of home fries.
✦ Off the Menu
3 The Hard Way
This off-menu monster sandwich piles high layers of all three of the deli's signature meats—brisket, pastrami, and corned beef—onto a single roll. If you manage to finish the entire triple-decker at a booth, the staff will take your photo and add it to their wall of fame.
Insider Tip
When ordering any of the classic sliced meat sandwiches, you will be asked to choose between small, medium, or large sizes. Skip the small and go straight for the medium on a club roll; it offers the perfect structural ratio of soft bread to warm, juicy meat without spilling completely into your lap.
