Reviews New York Deli

This place rocks! Delicious and authentic food, huge portions at good prices. Amazing options for veggie/vegan.

SUPERB!!! Delightful hoagies. Full of flavour and they're HUGE (skip breakfast if you're coming here for lunch!). Staff are friendly and prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes. 10/10 recommend.

Fab Reuben hot dogs loaded with pickles, sauerkraut and cheese, really good value, nice simple dogs for kids - always love a trip to NYD!

Omg this place is insane! I was a bit apprehensive when we ended up here on a work trip in Cardiff, but wow! The sandwich was probably the best sandwich I've ever had from any shop... ever! It was fully loaded, triple decker, the flavour and sauce was just perfect, and it was how a sandwich should be, big - and I mean literally bigger than your hand big, fully loaded, and delicious in every bite. I feel like driving down to Cardiff just to get it once again, can't recommend enough!

Have been meaning to try this place for some long! It was everything and more 😍 friendly staff, delicious food. The entire menu is also available in veggie / Vegan.

I wanted a hunk of a slice of cake for a sweet craving, and you only get slithers in coffee shops, but I'd passed the NY Deli the previous week and stopped at their window because of the lovely looking cakes so I knew this was the place to go! I ordered ahead online for click and collect as I didn't have time to really stop. Online ordering was easy and they offer 10% off for pickup which is great. You can collect from about 25 minutes after ordering. I had no idea the prices were so low for their desserts, I was really surprised. For the size you get, it's fab value. I hoofed it to town to pickup my order, which was ready. One of the guys there told me that he'd put a fork in the bag for me in case I wanted to dig in straight away, which was nice of him. As I was walking away I got distracted by the menu in the window, so I went to take a picture of it for later, seeing me doing this, another guy inside waved a paper menu at me from behind the window, so I went to get that from him from the counter. It was easier and made more sense than having a photo on my phone. So two lovely guys serving and just went that little bit extra to make my experience better. I bought the vegan chocolate cake slice. I'm not vegan, but it just looked sooo good and moist so I thought I'd take my first venture into vegan baking and boy was I was no disappointed. You'd never know it was vegan. It was moist and sweet and rich and chocolatey, exactly what I needed and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Really good cake, I'll be back for sure. Maybe on my next visit I'll have time to try their famous sandwiches and hogies! Update - October 2020 Was planning on visiting the NY Deli anyway, when they posted on Instagram that they actually had an agreement with the local bar, Bubs to order Deli food to there so that you could actually sit and eat in comfort and get a drink from them. This was absolutely perfect given a lack of seating now in town due to covid restrictions and some bad weather! Made my way to Bubs on a Tuesday afternoon, perfectly tucked away in Church Street and feels good to support a local too, ignoring the chains next to it. Covid restrictions in place, sanitiser available at the door and you're informed with a sign to wait to be seated. Was greeted by a lovely lady from the bar and I asked for a nice warm seat as it quite nippy and she showed me to a table towards the back of the bar. She asked if I was eating and I said I'd like to order from the Deli. This was fine and they had deli menus on all their tables ready. She explained what I needed to do, to order online and gave me the address to order too with the table number, then explained that to order Bubs drinks that there was a QR code on the table to scan and order table service. All very easy, ordered a non alcoholic IPA and ordered deli food, thinking it would take a good half hour to arrive. To my surprise, the guy from the deli arrived with the hogies within 10 minutes which was great. Hogies were well wrapped up, and was provided with paper plates, cutlery and napkins. The food from the deli was outstanding, known for their huge sandwiches and hogies so I had a 'dinky' hogie and my associate had a regular one. Both NY hogies, and I asked for mine to be made with turkey instead of beef, which was obliged. So tasty, really enjoyed the coleslaw, the turkey was lovely and soft and plenty of it. Overall a great experience, I'll definitely head back, especially in the winter for somewhere nice, cosy and quiet to sit, drink, eat and read a book if you wanted. This review goes hand in hand for both Bubs and NY Deli, both 5 stars for service and food/drinks. Definitely recommend, and you're supporting two wonderful local businesses.

Epic Hoagies! Go hungry as the portions are very generous. Everything on the menu (bagels, hoagies, sandwiches, hot stuff) sounded great. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Been going to New York Deli since it open 30 years ago. The bagels are gorgeous! The new venue in Duke St arcade is not quite finished yet but hopefully will as good as ever. A little bit pricey. Coffees are much improved!

Amazing little place in Cardiff! The Ruebens (both NYD and Real) are amazing! Definitely go for a great, well-priced lunch. If you are from the states, make sure you mark where you come from on his map in the back!!
