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

Was so happy to hear that this beautiful family owned and run business was expanding to one of my favorite neighborhoods in the boroughs. After having stood at least an hour on line in the sweltering heat in the summer time at their queens location I was so delighted there was basically no wait time to snag myself one of these. I came by around noon on a Sunday and got myself a veggie patty stuffed with Mac on coco bread. Their signature is of course the beef patty but I learned today that while the rest of the menu is halal the beef patties are not! But loved and appreciated all can enjoy the famous viral Mac/patty/coco bread combo because they make veggie patties as well. Even in their little lower east side deli, the family is there and running the show. The reason this is not a five star is because I found the entire thing lacking in flavor. I wish there was a little more seasoning and some kick to the veggies or even the Mac and cheese. I imagine that having oxtail or their other meats added is what does tend to give the flavor but as someone who wanted only the base/basic choice, the added flavor would've gone a long way. Still enjoyable though! My tip is that anyone interested in trying this viral item come to the LES for it instead of waiting on long lines in queens. There's also no seating so go to Essex market to sit at one of their tables. read more

Ok so I've been craving this beef patty with Mac n cheese and ox tail combo for a while now. So I ended up at this location on Clinton street. Once you order the lady that puts this goodness together is really nice. You're getting this put together with a bit of love. Really though she was cool takes her time and makes sure your patty is packed with goodness. The place itself is small so it can get crowded quick. Now I wanted to try this so bad I went right in inside the location at their counter top lol. When I tell you that first bite was everything. I couldn't stop eating. You really taste all parts of this patty. The Mac n cheese was on point and also the ox tail. I had to buy another one just on how good that one was. I can't wait to try the jerk chicken one next time. Definitely try this out you will not regret it. read more

We got to try their famous oxtail sandwich. The sandwich I had braised oxtail with Mac and cheese within a beef patty and wrapped in coconut bread. This was a big sandwich and SO DELISH! The owners were also super nice, we got to speak to them for a bit and they recommend that we try the jerk chicken next time. The sandwich also came with a fried plantain. Overall it's a pricier sandwich but very unique and very flavorful. I would def come back to try the other sandwiches! read more

I have wanted to try this place, I might've come too late in the day. The bread was stale and crusty, the guy that served me was less than willing to help me because he didn't want to get off his phone. I chose the jerk chicken and mac & cheese, there's not a lot of mac & cheese in the sandwich, honestly the bread is really ruining it for me, and the dry chicken. I paid $19 for the sandwich and I did expect more. read more

Happy to have Guyanese cuisine so well represented in NY. Definitely recommend a visit. The service is always nice and the ambiance is typical Ny. read more

I was so excited to try this after seeing the reviews and IG videos. I'm in NY for only 4 days and I decided this was one of my must tries. Had it door dashed to my hotel, I ordered jerk chicken rice no bread, goat with rice no bread, oxtail sandwich, 3 sodas and 1 water. The dasher arrived on time with 2 boxes of, 1 oxtail and 1 jerk rice. I told the dasher it was missing the goat, 3 sodas and 1 water. The dasher said I call the restaurant, I showed him the details of my order in the app and he saw what were missing - I told him I even tipped him big not knowing my order got messed up. the dasher went back to DATZ and called me to talk to whoever got the order there - OMG, she had the audacity to tell me, if I did not like the bread on the Jerk chicken, I can just take off the bread there should not be a problem with that, she said she did not see the water on my order, that they only have coke no diet soda. I told her I did not want to argue with her but she needs to send me what is missing because those were paid for, she kept saying she did not see water on my order, they don't have rice plate, etc. I told her I can text her what I ordered from DoorDash as evidence. I mean why should I even have to argue about sodas and water, I don't know why her tone of voice was rude and made me feel I should not complain- she said she is the one who made the order, she knows what they have. I did not back down, I said just send me what is missing, in the end she gave a half ass apology but the whole Katz Deli experience was ruined. read more

Food is good but whoever the mom is sitting in a lawn chair in the middle of the kitchen is beyond rude. Learn how to talk to customers . She over charged me and made a nasty comment. The son was very kind. Xoxo Boo read more

Datz Deli - Oxtail mac - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered an oxtail patty. It was savory and rich, but kind of one-note, and at $18 I felt it was overpriced for what I got. I think it could have used more acidity to balance out the richness. The service was friendly though. read more

I would have pictures to show but I ate the patty too fast. Anyway, the oxtail mac patty I pure ridiculousness. Packing meat, flavor, and whimsicalness the patty was something to keep you coming back again and again. The gentlemen at the counter were cool and the location is pretty decent as well. This will either be my first or last stop upon my next visit to NY. read more

The mac patty had great flavor, curry was perfect, patty crust was flaky, shrimp were good, slightly over, coco bread was alright. Everything combined into one sandwich is slightly wild, really have to be in the right mood for it. Service was great. Out of some other things, so if you're looking for something outside the mac patty, you probably want to visit by around lunchtime. read more

Hands down the food is simply delicious! Everyone is polite. You really can't ask for anything better. I'll definitely be back.

Amazing!! I Live in Bk and have made it at least once a week with my son to get the Oxtail Mac and cheese, it is delicious and filling and well worth the trip and money. read more

Sunny is the best , makes you feel like your family. The oxtail patties are . Definitely got to check this spot out

They have a huge sign that says no refund and I can tell why. Here's a list of things I found in my sandwich. All I said was the jerk chicken with mac and cheese and wasn't rude so it couldn't have been on purpose: Hair (literally a long hair just laid ON TOP of the sandwich) Hair (in the sandwich this time) An entire 4 inch long sprig of thyme Multiple other sticks of thyme Also I had the worst stomach ache I've had in NYC. Not worth the stomach ache even without the hairs and sticks in the sandwich. read more

The food is actually incredible flavors. Great oxtail, jerk chicken and curry. I just wish they all came spicier. The Mac and cheese has great cheese taste and it's a good experience. No sweating so just take your food to go and eat it elsewhere so no atmosphere and service but if you came for good food you got it. read more

The oxtail beef patties with Mac and cheese. A great new way for a patty. I find the is really no oxtail meet in there more like oxtail gravy only and was a tad bit salty read more

I just left Datz Deli on the Lowe East side. Since I am in NY I had planned to get some authentic Guyanese food. I was initially going to check out their main location in Queens but then saw that they recently opened a location in the lower East side. They opened this second location within a year of their first location. I had the macpatty with chicken curry and also got a bottle of sorrel. The macpatty was like 2 meals in one. Come with an appetite to eat. It was nice combination of the beef patty, curry and Mac and cheese. Though this location is small, you can eat at the counter. The owners are very nice and helpful. For the Guyanese that may be in Manhattan on a short trip and are craving that taste of home but don't have time to go to Queens or Brooklyn then check out Datz Deli in the lower East side! read more

Food: For the price point was not impressed. The individual ingredients did not taste well seasoned and the balance of the mac patties were unfortunate. For context I ordered the ox tail mac patty and the jerk chicken mac patty. The jerk chicken was loaded with protein and mad it difficult to enjoy the layers of each ingredient. The texture of the protein itself was soggy and unflavoured. Meanwhile, the oxtail lacked oxtail tremendously! To the point I forgot i was eating oxtail. The patty was assembled sloppily with concentrated areas of mac and cheese, sauces, beef patty meat, etc. Each bite was as though you were eating one ingredient a time. Not a full robust of flavour and profiles working together to make a memorable bite. Considering the price point, unacceptable! A huge contention for me was NOTHING was freshly made. Everything was pulled from a subway style line and assembled on a rather messy and unkept line. HIGHLY unacceptable as I could only imagine how long those ingredients have been there. For the price point, nothing is made to order and prices should reflect this. The ingredients did not taste fresh and the beef patty was most likely freezer bought, the meat was also unflavoured and was extremely concentrated in one area of the patty which made it extremely mush. Service: When walking into this establishment you're greeted with a sign that highlights the viral-ness of the business. For the amount of traffic it's extremely unacceptable the lack of staffing there. It was one woman behind the counter taking orders and assembling sandwiches which made the wait time longer than necessary if appropriate staffing was employed for their "viral" location. Atmosphere: Adding to the wait time guest are crammed into this tight area with no seating provided nor central air. There is a sliding door style entrance which remained closed on a rather hot day. 90 F to be exact. The space provided to enter was a the fraction of the size of a normal sized door. WHY?!?! This absolutely cut off the circulation of the space making for a code violating and dangerous space if a necessary evacuation occurred. I felt extremely unsafe in the rather sketchy urban environment with little room for escape routes due to the tiny entrance. The CO2 built up from the guest made me dread waiting in this space. As customers waited in this sauna for the cashier/line cook in dead silence, you can notice the steam building on the surfaces and beads of sweat on customers forming, visible with a naked eye. Each minute felt like you were standing on the MTA, shoulder to shoulder, during rush hour minus the central air. Again unacceptable considering the price point!! Overall this restaurant exudes how sensationalism and media presence takes the place of quality food and service. I would not recommend and more than ever will be wary of viral food. UPDATE. After reading the replies of the owner on other complaint I can assume this establishment is benefiting from being viral and will probably degrade in the little quality they have over time. Moreover, will do little to improve their operations. It reflects greed, money grabbing, and poor customer service. Know who you're supporting! read more

I expected Mac and oxtail between two Jamaican patties, I received a under filled patty in between the worst hamburger bun ever

Loved Staff! Myself and my friends decided to stop here on our way to Philly, and the food was very good!

These Mac Patties are a national treasure. I stumbled in on a whim. The crew of stoned fellas sating their munchies were kind and social. They were losing their minds over the BBQ Chx Mac Patties. My friend and I got Oxtail and Goat Curry Mac Patties. We started chatting with the guy behind the counter -- I'm pretty sure this is his business. He mentioned his Ma works it during the days, so maybe it's a mother-son duo. Super cute. I did not anticipate how deeply delicious this would be. Do it! Get the Mac Patty! read more

Amazing food! Food just tastes so good. Owner was very nice and humble. You wouldn't even know they owned the spot. 10/10!
