I went to the original Cindi's NY Deli location in Dallas for brunch and pastries after a friend recommended it to me. I was also interested in the history behind the business and how the owner came to America and started the restaurant decades ago. The brunch was very classic American style, comforting and satisfying. The pastries, though, were heavenly. If I hadn't been traveling, I definitely would have bought more to take home. Overall, it was a great stop with good food, delicious pastries, and a meaningful local story behind it. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by Cindi's for breakfast after an early flight into Dallas, and enjoyed every bite. I had a breakfast special with two eggs, two pieces of bacon, hash browns, and an everything bagel - which I put all on top of each other to make a breakfast sandwich on the bagel. It was fabulous. The bagels are delicious. My boyfriend had an omelette and pancakes which also looked amazing. Our server was pretty quick and super attentive to our wants. The breakfast join inside was pretty casual, with an old timey feel, but very homey. This was the perfect meal to greet us in Texas! read more

Cindi's NY Deli & Restaurant - Breakfast special: 2 eggs, 2 bacon, hasbrowns, and everything bagel - Delis Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is the ONLY NY style deli here in Dallas! The food is fresh and they do a bustling business! There are several locations and the best one is on 75 North (I think). They also have the most authentic half sour pickles I have had since Leaving NYC. Servers are always polite and the place is a fun visit. read more

I stopped by Cindi's Deli in Dallas (off 75) around late morning--about 11:30am--for a mid-day bite, and it was such a great experience. I ordered the sausage omelet with hash browns, and everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The omelet was cooked perfectly and the hash browns were just how I like them--crispy and seasoned well. The service? 10/10. My waiter was a kind young gentleman who was attentive without being overbearing. I shared that it was my birthday and that I was stopping in to honor my dad, who used to love coming to Cindi's. That small detail clearly meant something, because before I left he offered me a slice of cake to celebrate. I chose the carrot cake to go -- and let me tell you, it was divine. I'm not big on sweets, but carrot cake (and strawberry shortcake or white cake with white frosting) are my exceptions. This one was moist, flavorful, and worth every bite. Cindi's has multiple locations, and while I've frequented the Campbell/Richardson location in the past, this Dallas location off 75 was just as welcoming and consistent. If you're looking for good comfort food, warm service, and a nostalgic deli vibe -- go check out Cindi's. It's always a solid choice. read more

My wife and I were in Dallas and she was craving a good deli. I knew right where to go and drive straight to Cindi's on central expressway. I've been here before but it was her first time. She loved the interior and plenty of open seats on a Sunday afternoon. The service was a little slow on a day where it wasn't busy. We had to ask for drink refills multiple times after trying to get our waiters attention. We split a bowl of the matzo ball soup combo. Awesome I loved my #4 combo which is pastrami and corned beef. Also right on point with taste and the load the meat on there. Love that potato salad too! Can't go wrong stopping by here for authentic NY Deli. read more

Came here for breakfast, and unfortunately didn't really enjoy it. Pancakes were dry and flavorless, even though I got blueberry pancakes. To me it tasted like bisquik mix with nothing added to it. Bacon and eggs were good. Service was fine, they lost our ticket in the kitchen so they had to retake our order, but they got our food out within minutes of that. Not a big deal, stuff happens. Place is nice inside, I mean it's an old deli. There's an area with pastries and meats on the left end of the place. read more

We all love Cindi's Deli! It is so good. Service is always great. I love their matzo ball soup and their sandwiches.

Great food, good service. It's always busy because the food is good and priced well. Parking can be a challenge , due to limited availability and popularity. I like that the staff did not rush us to leave as we enjoyed our time together. Bring your appetite, portions are Texas sized read more

This is my goto deli in the dallas area. I knew the original owners and food quality has not changed even after they sold many years ago. Sandwiches are good size and quality meats. Servers are friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Restaurant is well lit with plenty of natural light. On this trip we ordered a pastrami reuben with sweet potato fries and a cheeseburger club with fries. Good size portions very yummy. read more

How often do you see the owner in the shop on a Sunday afternoon? The answer is probably at least on a regular basis if you want to maintain quality food,service and good prices these days . She was in the house today! Another great lunch from this location. Plus,I took a little something home for later . If you haven't visited one of the Cindy's locations.... Go! read more

I come here pretty often since it's very close to me. The food is amazing and as someone who's lived in New York for awhile, the food does take me back to the city. Everything tastes fresh. There's multiple bagels, spreads, breads, meats you can buy just like at a deli. The interior has a classic diner feel. The servers are always attentive too. All the portions of the food has been really generous for the price. My last visit I had a taco omelette which was huge and tasty, and the home fries were crispy. I always get the pancakes on the side because it's so fluffy yet slightly crisp on the outside. The biscuits are also really soft. I tried my friends deli omelette as well, which is more of a flatter "egg pancake" style. The omelette had a huge amount of deli meats inside, they didn't skimp. The melted cheese on top was a great addition to balance out the saltiness from the meats. Lastly the French toast was great. We added strawberries as a topping and the toast was thick and bouncy, not like some other places where it's soggy. This is a restaurant I always come back to, and seeing how busy they are on the daily without relying on pretty aesthetics is a testament on how great their food is. Tip: You pay at the register when the server hands you the check. read more

I have eaten at another location of Cindi's NY Deli & Restaurant several years ago and I enjoyed the food there. Unfortunately this was not the case at this location. The other location's atmosphere was much brighter and inviting. Here it was much darker inside and seemed to me to need updating. Service was just okay. She was "just doing her job" with no greeting. My egg white omelette was not cooked thoroughly. Seeing the uncooked parts oozing out when I cut into it made me loose my appetite. I left still hungry and not happy. read more

We stopped at Cindy's Central after another location had a 45 minute wait. We were seated immediately. It's an old school dining room with a bakery counter attached. I had a bacon cheddar avocado omelette, which was very good. I had a side of Biscuits and gravy, which were not very good. I would not order those again. And the grits, but grits are grits. Although these were firmer than usual, which was nice. my wife had a Reuben sandwich and was pleased. Service was good and attentive. read more

finally, after several attempts, i found a place aside from txmx where i'd return to eat again. i'm sure there's any number of white table cloth dinner spots where you and a friend can drop a few hundred and walk out feeling only moderately underwhelmed, if not in fact ripped off. but the real challenge here seems to me for the lesser meals of the day like breakfast, lunch or a light evening dinner. the problem is lack of, mexican aside, ethnic diversity, or maybe it's more like "ethnic diversity proficiency". this a new term in foodie jargon, surely, and probably not one that travels far from here. meaning?: it's one thing to try for greek taverna, but quite another to actually bring it off. and if your "taverna" is in a town where maybe 25 people know or care, then who's to say there should have been bell peppers in that village salad. so i was fully prepared to find this "NY Deli" to be as completely off the mark as was ziziki's taverna the day before. In certain ways Cindi was, too, but she compensated by the addition, in an eccentric and typically Texan way of mixing in items that don't belong, atypical non sequiturs that somehow despite things being what they are actually work, at least in that odd way that leaves you thinking... huh. Cindi's NY (jewish as surely, judging by her clientele, that is what it for the most part is) Deli, looks like no manhattan deli i was ever in. These usually are about a small storefront wide, with a glass enclosed cooler displaying the usual chopped liver, tuna salad, herring in various formats, fermented cucumbers and cabbage, with various meats and charcuterie available for making sandwiches, on rye usually and, katz of course aside, nowhere to sit. Cindi's is not really much like a NY deli and much more like a NJ diner, where you can eat pancake or biscuit/gravy breakfast anytime, enjoy soggy spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, and encourage your appetite with pierogis and kosher dills. i simply had to have the Cindi special soup, a major crowd in the bowl combining matzo, rice, spaghetti and kreplach. i also had to check the chopped liver on rye, and finished it all off with a traditional texas country style banana pudding for dessert. so it turns out Cindi is neither texan, new yorker, much less jew, and instead arrived a few decades ago from Viet Nam. As i drove away this last caused me to think that explains why her kreplach look a lot like won ton.... huh. read more

Great classic breakfast! Ordered the 2 egg breakfast with egg whites and extra crispy bacon and it was delicious! They bacon was the perfect crisp and thick cut! The bagel was fresh and their homemade lite Vegtable cream cheese is a must!! The only downfall was the fruit up charge of $3 for 5 cut up pieces of fruit where the cantaloupe was hard and inedible. Other than that the service was great! Will definitely return! read more

Waffle is great and crunchy, side of home fries and bacon (4 strips), and apple juice. The food arrives is 8 minutes or less. $20 and change. read more

I have gone to other locations and saw this one close to a meeting I was going to so stopped by. Plenty of free parking. Great service from Vivian as she was pleasant and attentive. The restroom was super clean. I had the two eggs scrambled, hash browns, salt bagel, and coffee. It came pretty quickly. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold which surprised me. You really have to like salt if you order the salt bagel as it is loaded with salt! Because of the food temp I have to give only 4 stars. Everything else was great read more

Did they change the recipe because I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and coleslaw and a tea coleslaw was overly runny had too much dressing on it and it was hard to even eat. The sandwich was good but it could have been a little bit better I'm sure other people would say to take like food in New York but I have been to New York and this is not what it tastes like. The restaurant is very overpriced also if they come down on price and still serve good food I will be back. read more

Food was delicious and there was a nice assortment of choices on the menu. Don't skip dessert - apple strudel was incredible!

Had a late lunch on Saturday afternoon. Service was good and table/restrooms were clean. Food was just, mid though. Sourdough bread was more like plain white bread and was untoasted. Stuffed cabbage had a large amount of cooked cabbage in the bowl with the stuffed cabbage rolls. Stuffed and cooked cabbages had a different color and flavor. read more

I went to Cindi's diner for brunch on Saturday after reading great reviews on Yelp. The location and outside appearance might not scream "cool restaurant," but I'm finding that that's a common occurrence in Dallas. Parking was adequate and we were able to find a spot not far from the entrance. Stepping inside, the atmosphere immediately shifted. Upon entering we were greeted by the host at the host stand and given a buzzing pager as we joined the lively Saturday brunch crowd. It was a 20 minute wait, maybe less but the place was definitely crowded. While waiting, I soaked in the authenticity of the "NY deli" vibe. They had glass refrigerators brimming with bagel cream cheeses along with a tempting array of pastries. The space is a little dim from the wood planked walls but the crowd was lively and mixed, adding to the bustling energy. Right by the entrance, it was inspiring to see plaques won for their food and hospitality and some press clippings that proudly shared the immigrant story behind the owners' success. It's clear this isn't just a diner; it's a testament to hard work and delicious food. I ordered Cindi's omelette with a side of cottage cheese and toast. My husband ordered the classic Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. Both were delicious and a decent portion. The coffee was also good-- smooth, not burnt or bitter! Overall we had a good experience and would definitely return for breakfast again. Cindi's feels like a true neighborhood gem, and I can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

I'm genuinely impressed with how enjoyable my recent visit turned out to be. From the moment I walked in, everything felt wellcoordinated and welcoming. The team worked efficiently, and even with a steady flow of guests, the seating process moved along smoothly. The food was the highlight. The sandwich I ordered was prepared with care, nicely balanced and satisfying without feeling heavy The soup that accompanied it had a comforting, homestyle quality that made the whole meal even better. Its clear the kitchen puts thought into keeping things consistent and flavorful. What really stood out, though, was the overall rhythm of the place. There's an easygoing atmosphere that makes it simple to settle in and enjoy the momentno stress, no rush, just a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. I left feeling fully content and happy I chose to stop by. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. Definitely a spot worth recommending. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning, and the restaurant was packed. We ended up ordering to go, and the service was quick at the counter. They have a selection of bagels to choose from and it looked like a few ran out even though it was all early in the morning. Ordered an everything bagel with regular cream cheese. The bagel was yummy but there was way too much cream cheese in between. Restaurant seemed a little bit older, but clean. The staff was friendly, attentive and helped with suggestions when you didn't know what to order so that was nice! Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu read more

Food: Breakfast all day. Already a huge win. It's good! The owners apparently haven't heard about the jacking up of all prices for food service everywhere, so I hope they don't see this review - omelette with two sides is $18. This is incredibly good value today. Service: friendly and surprisingly fast on a weekday at 12:45p. Place was packed. Ambience: If you have been to a yankee working class deli (Brooklyn, Boston, Pittsburgh, etc), this will feel like home, from the furnishings to the floor tiles. Except the service is friendly (see above). Found by accident on my way home out of Dallas. I will come here every exit trip forever now. read more

Typical Northeast diner food. Nothing great here but nothing bad either. My corned beef and pastrami sandwich with cole slaw and Russian dressing was middle of the road. Had to ask for extra dressing and slaw since it came out with maybe a little dollop of dressing. Picture is post me pouring it all over. Was very dry in the beginning. $18 for the sandwich with potato salad. #4 This is not your Kenny & Ziggy's New York Delicatessen in Houston. Don't think that going in. read more

It had been 10 years since we last ate at Cindi's because of a bad experience on our last visit. But time (eventually) heals all, so off we went for a Saturday night dinner. The dinner experience is completely different from breakfast. Breakfast time is super busy with a long wait and crowded parking. Dinner time has ample parking and no wait, so we were seated promptly after entering. The menu has not changed and remains intimidating due to the extensiveness of offerings. I focused on my fave--something with corned beef and ordered the Reuben. I asked for lean and it came with lean meat. The sandwich had a very generous portion of corned beef and was served hot. You put your own sauce on, which is fine. It was a good sandwich but not better than mine at home. The wife went for something homey and ordered the beef stew. She loved it. Meat was not just tender but also juicy. She loved the broth and the corn muffins. That was a home run. The kid had pancakes which were fluffy and she loved the hot chocolate. Our server Gabriela was efficient and could answer all my question about the menu. The ambience is still is NY diner style, which is fine. We all enjoyed our food so it will not be 10 years before we return! read more

My wife and I had lunch at the downtown location today. I started with a bowl of chili which was served cold. I asked the waiter if they could warm it up, and he took it back to the kitchen. When he brought it back it was still cold. I had about 2 bites and gave up. Then he brought out my Philly steak sandwich. After a couple of bites, I noticed a very off taste. It tasted like some kind of cleaner. I immediately started feeling sick. I told the waiter and he just didn't care. He took off the price of my wife's sandwich, which was cheaper, and still charged for the horrible, disgusting food. I'm still very sick, several hours later. They poisoned me and billed me for it. I will NEVER go there again. They should be shut down. I left a 1 star review only because I couldn't leave a 0. read more

I love Cindi's breakfast food, especially their breakfast special. I often visit during the week before work. The breakfast special includes eggs, potatoes or grits, sausage or bacon, and toast, bagel or pancakes for less than $15. It's a good deal for good food. I've never sat in there to eat but it's always packed with people when I walk in. The food must be good because the parking lot stays full. Other than their breakfast, their desserts are tasty. I have tried some of their cookies. Yummy! On top of being crowded, the restaurant is always clean. I will continue to patronize this restaurant. read more
