Pastrami sandwich was excellent nice and tender not too fatty. The BBQ brisket was excellent I subbed out fries for some sweet crispy onion rings. Israeli salad was refreshing and the chicken soups was excellent don't forgot you need to add order matzo balls added to your soup. Lunch was served with kosher pickles and coleslaw. Try adding the coleslaw to your BBQ brisket sandwich. 😀

Absolutely delicious matzoh ball soup! The chicken cutlets and potato pancakes were great to. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

MY NEW FAVORITE DELI/RESTAURANT IN NYC!!! The food was EXCELLENT, this was the best turkey breast sandwich I've ever had! (and I eat A LOT of turkey sandwiches) The meat so tender it just fell apart in my mouth and was SO flavorful! (the bread, lettuce and tomato were also fresh and delicious) And the corned beef reuben was AMAZING!!! The service was top notch! All the waiters were very professional, attentive, and super friendly! The decor was really cool, kinda like modern-retro, lots of booths (which i love), and it's very bright and colorful. This is going to be my new spot whenever I'm NYC. 10 out of 10 - would definitely recommend!

Great Matza ball soup and pastrami sandwich. Don’t take the chocolate rugelach… They taste like the 16 shekel per box Supersal rugelach, if you know what I mean…

A true classic in New York City! Amazing pastrami and corn beef sandwiches, with huge fillings and the best pickles around! I also got a hotdog with sourkraut and that was fab too. Staff and team are super friendly and accommodating and able to answer all your questions. Old and new customers are treated the same and you want to come back for more. A must for anyone who’s in midtown!

Really, for real, fast service during the lunch rush. It helps if you know what you want before your server gets to the table. Tons of space, and super clean. The unlimited pickles and coleslaw really are a nice touch. Pictured is the corned beef, which is excellent. If you prefer your corned beef / pastrami on the lean side - just let them know. The menu has the option for 'extra lean', but it's quite dry - the 'regular lean' (not on the menu) version is great. Great deli mustard, and the sandwich on it's own is enough to keep you going for the second half of the work day - or if you're just strolling through NYC.

A great Jewish deli. Probably the largest in NYC. The restaurant is super clean and the service is excellent. The waiters make sure your experience is nothing but wonderful. The chopped liver was delicious. Of course they give you a huge portion. It was super freshly made and delicious. The matzo ball was a bit too big but the broth was definitely delicious and rich.

Had a really nice lunch at Ben's with my wife. The restaurant is very large for Manhattan with lots of space, and it's a very clean restaurant. There was Coleslaw & pickles delivered to our table before we even sat down! We then ordered Reubens, and they were excellent. My only critique (as a Reuben enthusiast) is that the bottom bread was a tad soggy, making eating the thick Reuben a little difficult. I prefer it when the bread is toasted and more stable. But overall, a good sandwich and a great experience!

Friendly staff from the minute we walked in. Our server was very efficient. It wasn't very busy when we stopped in at 1:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. Plenty of food, pickles, bottomless coleslaw. The pastrami on rye was a meal and a half, the Reuben ended up being enough for 2 meals.
