Wow! Have to say Datz's Deli was an absolutely fantastic experience. Curious what was behind the covered doors, decided to walk in. Hungry, decided to select one of their selection of Jamaican themed concoctions. So glad I did! To be clear, this is not a traditional deli, but that doesn't matter. Their "Datmac"s are Jamaican patties filled with a slice of cheese plus Mac & Cheese. They offer a range of additional toppings. Of all the Datmac options offered in this colorful basic hole-in-the-wall, I opted for the Chicken Curry. The friendly staff behind the counter readied it quickly. I was able to enjoy it at the one small cocktail adjacent to the kitchen. What flavor! So satisfying!!! Noted they have a couple other locations, including near Times Square. Anticipate at one point trying their other varieties, as well! Datz's Deli is a definite reco!!!! read more

Datz is different, no question. I've had most of the menu, but the oxtail and jerk chicken are the ones I keep going back to. The oxtail is the crowd favorite for a reason super rich, deep flavor that just sits right. Comfort food but dialed all the way up. my personal favorite is the jerk chicken. That smoky heat, the spice, the way it hits in that mac patty... it's unreal. Every bite is loud in the best way. Datz deli knows what they doing. Mad respect. read more

This isn't so much a "deli" as it is a "specialty sandwich" shop. But it does NOT disappoint. They are known for their Caribbean offerings, most famous of which is their different beef patty sandwich creations, which come with mac & cheese and your desired meat selection. I tried the jerk chicken mac patty, which was as delicious as it was messy. It all comes wrapped within a coco bread, perfect for soaking up those late night alcoholic drinks. The service is pretty helpful and which depending on how busy it is, and if you can't wait to eat there is a table that may or may not be occupied inside. I only wish there were other "regular deli" options here, but that's not what you come here for. I will certainly be coming back anytime I'm in the area because it'll be hard to pass up even if I've already eaten! read more

Datz Deli - Datmacpatty Sandwich - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Datz came across my timeline several times, but I just needed a minute because I didn't have a taste for oxtails. Well TA-day I did! So I headed down to the Lower East Side to see what it was hittin' for. The place is small, and a bit tight. You place your order and step out onto the sidewalk to wait for your order. I got the daddy of the mac patties, the oxtail. I thought it would be heavy, but it actually wasn't. The oxtail was tender and spicy, but I'm not sure if the actual spice was coming from the oxtail or the beef patty. Surprisingly, the Mac & cheese blended well with the beef patty and the oxtail. I liked the flavor and the freshness of the coco bread. It was a good sandwich. I'd recommend you give it a try. 4/5 Til we eat again... read more

We came here on a Friday night around 7pm looking for a quick dinner. We arrived and it's a small store. There is a counter to order and one table with seating (there is an outlet also) and 3 metal bar stools. There is not a lot of room here for alot of people. We wanted to order a jerk chicken sandwich with a chicken patty with Mac and cheese on the side. Despite what is written, adding Mac and cheese to their meal deals cost extra. They actually ran out of chicken and beef patties when we arrived and therefore could not give us a sandwich that we were hoping to order. In return the lady at the counter said we can get a little bit of Mac and cheese without paying extra (she gave very little not a full sides worth) which was nice but also somewhat disappointing. As for the jerk chicken over rice itself. The rice and the collard greens were quite unflattering to be honest. Not much flavor. The rice with beans was not bad just felt a bit bland to me. The jerk chicken itself was some of the better jerk chicken I have tried. They did not hold back on the spices and it was quite spicy which I do appreciate. They have quite a lot of quantity, I could not finish my whole meal. Although I didn't think this meal was spectacular, for 18 dollars it's quite alot of food. The Mac and cheese was great and would recommend paying extra for it, as it a major upgrade over the rice. Overall, solid meal, great jerk chicken but sides can use more flavoring. read more

Late-night burger magic! After a full day of brewery hopping, my crew and I stumbled in here and I'm so glad we did. I've hit up Rosenberg's plenty over the years, but didn't realize they had this burger joint now. The vibe inside totally took me back; that classic New York-style Jewish deli feel I grew up with and love. Service? On point. Staff? Friendly and fast. I ordered 3 burgers and fries, and everything slapped. Fries were thin, crispy, perfectly seasoned. Burgers were juicy, cheesy, and packed with flavor; those caramelized onions were next level. Even the ketchup hit. Real talk: if I knew they were this good, I'd have ordered a few more... and that's after demolishing 3 slices of pizza from 715 Club next door 10 minutes earlier . If you're in Five Points, partying or just chilling, do yourself a favor -- grab a burger, fries, and tell 'em Flip sent ya! read more

I always wanted to try datz deli but their lines were too long at smorgasburg. Luckily I bumped into it on my way from getting bubble tea. I figure I get the original viral meal; beef patty mac and cheese coco bread. It was about $18 the service was ok the staff is fairly polite etc. besides patties datz deli sells a small selection of sea moss, drinks and snacks. Anyhow I liked the decor very artsy well out and bright . Ok so the party tasted slightly sweet I think I tasted tamarind. I asked for light Mac and cheese because I didn't want to be too full. The meal is actually good to share . It was tasty. It was super savory I might come back for the jerk chicken . read more

Datz Deli - Me outside of the spot - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Note to self - no more viral overpriced food. The idea of oxtail, mac and cheese, and extra gravy on a patty sounds mouthwatering, but as they say "everyone's so creative these days!". $32 for two patties, one oxtail mac & one curry chicken, made my heart hurt. The taste just didn't measure up to the hype built up by the viral videos. For the price I'd rather get 10 delicious patties at my local hole in the wall spot. I just can't recommend Datz. read more

The sandwich was pretty good albeit smaller than one would expect. A lil pricey for the size. The patty was of superior quality than than handful I got to try in my short NY trip. Very flakey just wish there was more of it in the sandwich. The oxtail sauce on the top didn't really add much to the flavor of the sandwich and kinda just made it more difficult to eat but I see the vision and a tweak to how it's served or consistency would go a long way. Also there was some hard bits of what we thought were bone shards in our sandwich. Service was fast and apathetic. read more

EDITING AS I RECEIVED A REPLY FROM THE PAGE when I tagged them on my IG story, see picture below./ NEVER again trusting any habibis, with my money & my food! I came from Texas & mannnn the Dissapointment!! I ordered the oxtails meat pie that comes as a sandwich. As someone who loves oxtails.. these were NOT IT! They were old.. tons of burnt & tough pieces. Tried to finish the sandwich but just couldn't. The oxtails were hard and cold.. idk if maybe they were burnt at some point but a lot of burnt and hard pieces for a sandwich that was given cold. I'm truly upset at myself for spending $25.11 on a sandwich that I had high expectations for. I wouldn't return and wouldn't recommend. Only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because there was a guy who was very friendly when I walked in.. think he was moving a speaker lol didn't see him after he moved it. read more

On a recent visit I got to try the very popular Mac Patty. ( Beef Pattie on coco bread w/ Mac & cheese and your choice of topping) A friend had been raving about them for months, so I knew we needed to pay them a visit. My 1st thought was this is going to be a lot but, I can confirm it is in the best way! I watched the owner while she made it and I think I drooled a bit. lol! I had the oxtail Mac Patty on this visit. Omg! It's so good. Forewarning you, this is not a clean eat! You're going to get messy or make a mess! It hit every note, Sweet, savory, and crunchy. For 17.00 it was worth every penny. While here I also got to meet the innovator and learned this is their second location. On my next visit I'm going to have to try a few more flavors! Check them out! read more

I had 24 hours in NYC and I had to visit Datz deli! Datz Deli stay popping up on Instagram! I visited the one on Clinton street. This one is very small. There is no seating area. I ordered the Hindu (jerk chicken) Mac patty. It is so good!! Flavorful! Easier to eat than I thought! Originally I said this will be something I will try 1X because it's over hyped. I was wrong!!! I will definitely visit again! Also the lady that assisted me was friendly, answered all my questions , and then thanked me for visiting. read more

Was walking down the street and came across this place to behold it was on my list of food places to visit while I was visiting New York. I was already full from the big lunch. I ate, but I couldn't pass up on this place so I went in and looked at the menu I didn't know what to order so the friendly lady at the counter deciding for me I think it was a jerk chicken. I don't know, but it was amazing and even though I was stuffed from everything else, I ate before that believe I finished every bite. read more

Black owned business that is thriving and pushing out this amazing concept of Macpatty Sando's. Slightly confusing upon arriving you cannot see the door but it's the left. Once walking in you feel all the Caribbean vibes. They have bevs and snacks available in addition to the main characters! Now to the food... I got the Curry Goat Macpatty. When ordering the lady did warn me of the small bones that may still be present in the curry. I suggest taking the sandwich off the menu. While curry goat is a staple, searching for small bones in a sandwich takes away from the experience. The sandwich overall was solid. The patty was flaky and flavorful. The curry was seasoned to perfection but the Mac was bland and lacked that ooey gooey cheese component. read more

This place was literally the highlight of my trip! After seeing a fellow foodies IG video about this place I just knew I had to go try it for myself and it did not disappoint. I had the jerk chicken mac patty and WOW. Tbh you have to give this place a try for yourself. The flavors and textures in the Mac patty are delicious and I've honestly never had anything like this; kudos to Josh for such a delicious masterpiece. Would have loved to try other ones, but this sandwich is pretty thick lol! There was quite a few options like oxtail, shrimp, jerk chicken, bbq chicken and more to add onto your Jamaican patty, mac and cheese, and coco bread delicacy! I'd suggest keeping an eye on their social media like IG because I swear I saw a nice pepperpot they were cooking up near the holidays too! Their new location in the city is so cute and small; literally order and go. Momma Datz is a sweetheart and was so kind. I definitely won't hesitate to comeback whenever I'm in the city! read more

Jamaican patty stuffed with macaroni and jerk chicken cooked to perfection with cheesy greatness. Interior is a great presentation , smaller, but worth the wait and time. As soon as you walk in the door you get rushed with amazing carribean spices and vibes. Definitely have to make my way out there again when I visit New York! read more

Fucking delicioussss open late night always chop it up with the people working there that oxtail mac and cheese sandwich is to die for

Imma keep this brief. It could be late night, it could be midday, it could be evening, it could be any time of day and I'm getting this beef patty sandwich. After a long week of doing fashion week and really starving myself, this was the first thing I had to buy as soon as it was over. The cheese, the Mac, the oxtail, the patty, the crust, was ALL sensational. The workers were also very nice and attentive as they gave us immediate service. The ambiance of the establishment was short and sweet, just enough space for one couple to sit with a bit of seating outside. Very cute area to be in and I enjoyed every second of the food I bit into read more

Terrible! The man who took my order was mumbling, uninterested, and overweight. He simply took the patty out of the fridge and handed it to me, meaning the patty was cold. It cost me about $17 for the cold, dry, flavorless patty, which is egregious. Extremely disappointing experience read more

It's Worth the price and the hype! Ganesh and his staff were mad cool. Love a place with great customer service. He told us his family's story of why this food shop was created.
