Love this place. Whenever we want a good Jewish deli, we always hit Foster Village. The wife and I shared a corned beef sandwich, chicken soup (I had a sore throat). The next day, for Mother's Day, I picked up a tongue sandwich for her. She loves their tongue. Everything is good here; pastrami, hot dogs, read more

Such great sandwiches at this place. They serve you with a smile and quickly. The place has space to sit and eat but I usually just take out whenever I come here. Thin sliced and delicious. read more

There's nothing wrong with fresh turkey on sliced rye with Cole slaw and Russian dressing. Or... Pastrami on rye. Along with a kasha knish and some whitefish salad? Heaven. This is the best Jewish deli you'll find in this part of Bergen County. read more

Nice Jewish deli in Foster Village. Pastrami good but the Hebrew National franks were also good but they had no casing and wonderful crunch/pop!;( read more

Tal was great and worked w/ us to help make our dad's shiva top notch. The food was terrific. Pastrami, corned beef, whitefish, lox, etc, all were terrific. He also threw in a few extras such as herring, etc., no charge. Would definitely recommend them for any occasion. read more

Excellent deli/restaurant - went with the classic: pastrami on rye, cole slaw and pickle. Washed it down with a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. Staff were super friendly and while busy my lunch came out quickly. I brought home some latkes and matzah ball soup. Ate half of latke when I got home and it was legit. Foster is hands down Best in Bergen without question. read more

I enjoy a good kosher deli from time to time. It is expensive which is pretty standard. The pastrami on rye wasn't bad but didn't jump out as anything special. The baked spinach knish was bland. Wouldn't reorder. They had all sorts of things and looks like they make a lot of it fresh. Not sure I will be back. 3 stars. read more

Best pastrami on rye we've had in Bergen County in a long, long while. Add some of their delicious Cole slaw, a little mustard and Dr Browns cream soda and you've got a great lunch. Reminds me of Lieberman in Riverdale, Bronx. We drove from Woodcliff Lake and it was definitely worth the 25 minute trek. read more

We are so fortunate to have Foster Village Kosher Deli near our home and really a part of our lives. First, every holiday is celebrated with their delicious, fresh, and wholesome foods. There are no shortcuts. The Kasha varnishkas are the best I've had (excepting for my mothers) The brisket is so tender and tasty and never salty. All of the salads are exceptional; super fresh. Try their chicken soup throw in the matzos balls and you are in heaven. Don't have anything for dinner? Try their meatballs, stuffed cabbage or roast chicken. I love their tender beef goulash or Israeli stew. You just can't go wrong. read more

I wish I took photos before devouring these sandwiches!! Got the Hot Pastrami with sauerkraut, mustard, and pickles on the side along with the Hot Brisket sandwich with mustard, Mayo, and pickles on the side. My recommendation is to eat the Hot Brisket sandwich first (of course, I did the opposite, and my chef of a husband ate things in the right order bc I didn't appreciate the flavor of the brisket as much after eating the pastrami). But my goodness what a pastrami sandwich!!! I've been looking for a good pastrami sandwich since moving to NJ 2-years ago and I think I've found it! Can't recommend this place enough. I also can't comment on the service or ambiance as I haven't dined in-house but hope to make it there in the future! Overall, love this place and will definitely be ordering again! P.S. - The Pickles we're PERFECT! Absolutely Loved everything! read more

This deli always satisfies. From sandwiches, soups and knishes, they're all good. Never a bad choice coming here, whether it's for pickup or delivery. read more

As someone else pointed out, if you're looking for NYC-level deli quality here, you're not going to be particularly impressed. However, if you're hankering for some Jewish deli food in the area, it will do. Personally I thought the matzo ball was decent. Not the best I ever had but it was just fine. Same goes for some of the other stuff we got including the potato salad and Cole slaw. It was just fine but not mind blowing. The pastrami was also somewhat disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high based on what I read here but I didn't find it particularly tasty or flavorful. Conversely, it was good that the meat wasn't that salty. Again, compared to what I had in the city I didn't find the food here to be as good as what I enjoyed there but generally speaking it was ok. A solid 3 stars in my book. read more

This is my go to place for catered trays of the type of epic sandwiches than one can only order in Northern New Jersey. Back in the 1930's, the mayor of Maplewood visited an establishment in Havana called Sloppy Joes. They served him a cocktail sandwich so memorable, he had it recreated at a kosher deli on his return home. This transplanted triple decker sandwich, is not the bunned tomato saucy ground meat of the same name, but of sliced deli delights. Deli Sloppy Joe's are made of Pastrami, Roast Beef, Turkey Breast on three layers of thinly sliced Rye bread with coleslaw and Russian dressing. The fraternal twin fish course is the Smokey Joe made of Sliced Nova Scotia Lox and Whitefish Salad and Egg Salad on three layers of thinly sliced Rye Bread. I order a 1.5 serving tray of each so that there are a few left for a snack after the main event. Do get more than you think you need. You'll thank me later. Break your anti sugar clause and wash it all down with some Dr. Brown's soda. read more

The sandwiches are fantastic. Pastrami is especially good. If you like tongue you can get it here and very good. Great for holiday dishes.

Although the food was ok , my hot pastrami sandwich was cold and so was my matzah ball soup! The only item that was hot was potato knish!! Soup only had one matzah ball w noodles no carrots I was definitely spoiled by Harold's in Paramus, unfortunately is closed read more

Good, authentic deli food but you'll be disappointed if expecting NYC caliber pastrami. Good but not to die for. All else we had was very good including stuffed cabbage and square knish. Particularly nice to know that the old style Jewish deli remains alive and well, albeit far more rare than years ago. read more

When at Foster Village Kosher Deli, all the prepared food in the display showcases looked great. After taking my food home and tasting the first item, it was a huge disappointment. When there is so much sugar in the prepared bean salad that the sweetness lingers in your mouth, you remain hopeful that the next item you sample will be an improvement. Unfortunately, that was not the case. It appears that the same yellow oil used to soak the roasted vegetables side dish is used to thoroughly soak the chicken and vegetable entree. Both times, the plentiful yellow grease oozes through my heavy paper plate and permeates the kitchen table. I'm belching after a few swallows of the roasted vegetables. Wow! Never again. read more

My wife likes to come into Northern New Jersey for Filipino Supplies and we usually hit up Monsey for Kosher supplies for n the way home, but today while I was waiting I found this place on Yelp. First of all I really like to thank the owners for keeping it strictly kosher instead of going kosher style. Yes the store seemed really narrow and crowded with extra stuff.but it's the week before Pesach (Passover) and I realized this place the extra stuff was for catering for Passover. The food is really good, almost like my mother and bubba's use to make. I had a corned beef sandwich to go which was really good, wish I would have stayed to eat it there as it needed more mustard. The Tzimmiss was a bit watery and had to much cinnamon but that's just my taste it could have used prunes. The potato kugel needed to be warmed up a bit more as it tasted a little under cooked, but otherwise everything was very delicious. I read more

Pastrami is always consistently melt in your mouth delish,,,,& the pickles . The best around and the portion size(s) in todays world are still what I remember getting when I first stumbled across this gem over 15 years ago read more

We ordered Passover dinner from here as a package - the best we ever ate !! Everything is home made good !! There were things that I normally don't like but when I tasted theirs it was delicious. I also have to say that they not only gave big portion's, but it was all packaged really well. I sent our guest home with a big bag for tomorrow and I have plenty left - which is just fine with us. I have also gone in to find that they just had fresh out of the oven items such as stuffed chicken breast or meatballs - nothing was bad. The owner and staff were very helpful - lovely to deal with. We will be back often. read more

Wow. The best hot pastrami sandwich I've ever had. Meat was tender, moist, and perfectly seasoned. It went perfectly with their cole slaw which again was perfectly seasoned--crisp and refreshing! Looking forward to trying their corned beef next time! read more

Foster Village Kosher Deli - Hot Pastrami Sandwich--AMAZING - Delis Near Me - Bergenfield, New Jersey

Good, authentic Kosher deli, I was not disappointed at all. I usually go to Katz's deli in NYC. After eating my pastrami sandwich, I am bloat sodium mess. The pastrami here was delicious and lean not salty. I did not have to drink a gallon of water through the day.. All the good Kosher Deli's are gone in NYC and NJ now but Foster Village is a hidden gem. The potato pancake was light and fluffy.. read more

Grew up in NJ but living in Honolulu for 20+ years, I need a regular fix of Jersey Jew food and this is my go-to place. Got off the airplane and headed straight to Foster Village. Absolutely to die for. My wife and I consumed a pastrami sandwich, spinach knish, square potato knish, veggie latke, matzo ball soup, Dr Browns soda and a coffee for lunch. Exceeded expectations. Everything perfect and half the price of the touristy Katz, Harolds, Noah, etc. places. Super friendly staff are friendly, ultra accommodating and service was lightning fast. I enjoyed just sitting listening to the customer interactions. I felt like I was home again. I then ordered a whitefish salad sandwich, a bag of rugelach, a pint of pickles and some more Dr Browns for our drive to upstate. Thank you Foster Village Deli for my perfect day in paradise! read more

Best deli sandwiches, this side of the Hudson. You don't even have to go to NY and I'm from Brooklyn, originally. Great food. You can even get a good knish here! read more

Love this deli! People are really nice and food is awesome! Recommend chicken and matzoh ball soup, Kasha, knish, Turkey, pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. Latkes were delicious. This is my go to kosher deli! read more

Foster village supplied the food for a recent party, COVID style. Each sandwich was individually wrapped, overflowing and delicious. The individual containers of salads and condiments were much more than needed. The food received rave reviews from guests and added to a perfect day. read more

I haven't been to FVKD for years and was so looking forward to revisiting. Major disappointment. First, the narrow-cluttered aisles made it difficult to accommodate my walker. The Yelp photos from July 2021 and February 2022 did not reflect the condition of the aisle spaces when I was just there. Before I was going to order meats by the pound in the future, I ordered a "sampling" of their meats. I ordered three slices each of corned beef, pastrami, and brisket. Also, got a kasha knish, and a friend got one pound each of three salads and a quart of chicken soup and matzoh balls. The pastrami consisted of very small strands of the meat. The corned beef also consisted of varying smaller sized pieces of meat. The brisket consisted of about normal sized slices, but the color appeared a bit off, it appeared dry, and the taste seemed off. All three meats were cold. I weighed the salads at home and all three were under a pound. Don't know where their scale is, and I don't know what I was charged as there wasn't an itemized bill provided. The 3-bean salad had so much liquid I asked for the liquid to be removed before I paid. When was the salad weighed for pricing before or after the drain, I wonder. The 3-bean salad was overly sweet, too. The kasha knish also tasted "sweet" and the taste seemed off. The chicken soup and matzah balls were average tasting. Would not get it again, though. I grew up in the Bx and Queens and know my kasha Knishes and my Kosher Delis. I was eagerly awaiting this revisit, but this was a major disappointment! Perhaps, I'll try again and will have to be more aware of what I'm getting, the quality of the products, the weights, and the cost. My concern remains the maneuvering of my walker in the store. read more

It's ok, nothing special. Pastrami sandwich is nothing like the NY greats. In fact they were bland, even for someone who doesn't like too much salt. I had to put extra mustard on it. Knishes are very good though. read more

This is probably my 3rd or 4th time ordering from FV through Uber Eats and I've finally decided to give a review. I ordered the pastrami on rye with mustard and what can I say? It isn't particularly bad but it also isn't particularly good either...it just is! If you're craving a pastrami sandwich and you're expecting a certain level of flavor and salty goodness, you're not going to get that here. This isn't Katz. Go in knowing that and it'll do! read more

I went in to order 2 soups. All I wanted was a motzah ball and chicken noodle. Little did I know this would be the hardest thing possible. After an exhausting back and forth with the counter person who first tried to push cold pre package soup on me because they were too lazy to heat up any I thought we had made some progress. I was wrong. He brings me out 2 large containers (Chinese soup size) of broth with a few noodles in each. I was confused as I wanted one motzah. He said oh the motzah balls are extra, how many do you want? I said ok but what about the chicken noodle. He said oh this is it it's called chicken noodle but there's no actual chicken in it. Ok Long story short they wanted to charge me $8 for each container of chicken broth & then in addition $1.50 for each motzah ball. So $22 for 2 broths and 3 motzah balls & zero chicken. Give me a break. The best part is the menu lists all the soups for $5. I asked and he said oh that's for a small and it comes w a motzah ball. Ok so if I buy a large for $8 it doesn't come with any? All I wanted was a freaking bowl of soup instead I got migrane. believe me I didn't even know where to start when writing this review. No one would believe this nonsense. I wound up going across the street to Matthews diner and had soup in 10 seconds Oye Ve....out! read more
