Ali's has Guatemalan food prepared to order or from the steam table. Kitchen was busy, so I chose from the steam table. Chicken stew, rice, beans, and some veggies. First time I've had lunch served by the pound from a Spanish place! Food was fresh & tasty but it cost more than expected at $7.99/lb. Got two house made tortillas as well. Would stop in again.

We took the train to Brewster and looked for a place to get quick lunch at. Walked around near the…read moretrain station and this place (now called Ali's Bakery & Deli) looked nice. The food turned out to be utterly delicious - we got the Guatemalan chicken stew kind of dish (pollo guisado), rice, 2 kinds of black beans, and plantains. The chicken dish was so fresh, and surprisingly light and very flavorful. The black bean paste was tasty too. The lady running the place asked if we wanted tortillas. So glad we said yes. They were thicker than Mexican tortillas, but light and slightly spongey and not dry. They were making them fresh inside, I watched them make these. I haven't had tortillas this tasty since we vacationed in Guatemala some years ago. The horchata was good too, not too sweet. Families were coming in, it was a very authentic kind of place and the food had a home-cooked taste. Theres's pre-made food, but you can also order from the menu. We were there on Saturday, around 11:30am, so the food was just being prepared for the day, but I think they cook throughout the day. Must say also a very friendly and gracious kind of place. A really fantastic surprise! Wish this place would open a location in Manhattan.

They even pop into the grocery store next door to them frequently to buy fresh ingredients as they prepare food, nothing frozen or sub-quality. Almost unheard of in the dining experience today. The chef who prepares the food is always making the most mouth watering, addicting meals and appetizers. The food looks equally delicious. It smells amazing. All made to order and the portions are generous. They are so friendly. We have literally never had a bad experience with them in over 4 years. Even if a mistake was made on an order, they have always been courteous and apologetic, they immediately remedy the problem in which everyone is happy. I just love the owners...I think Brewster is very lucky to have them in their town. We have several favorites on their menu but honesty, we haven't found a dud yet. Their hollandaise sauce is scrumptious and addictive!! I could eat it on an apple. The salads are fresh and creative. The specials are always a treat. For the prices, which seem a little high....i don't think they are. They provide fresh food, prepared by a legit professional who has common sense and a great knowledge of flavors and flavor combos. They give generous potions and you never feel like you were ripped off when devouring their creations. I would eat here daily if we could. I love supporting small local business and I love supporting good people just as much. They are the best. I'm getting hungry thinking about the waffles, chili and hollandaise sauce.

Tip number 2) Water should be brought to the table as soon as possible, especially if a coughing customer requests it. Don't snap at the customer because she made a simple request.

I git a sammie: chicken cutlet, Cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch, and hot sauce on a sub. $12 and change which it on par for the area. The sandwich was good, not great. The cutlets were very thin and a bit dry (too long in the fryer). I really would have preferred more hot sauce and ranch - it was a little dry. Over all the sandwich tasted good and if I went back I would make a request for more sauce. My bud got some fries with his - I tasted one and they were...sub par. Overall it was a good experience for me and I plan on going back for a 2nd visit. I'll let ya know how it went! * Note - although I had a good vibe from all the staff, the male cashier had the personality of a mushroom. When I say thank you, I expect a you're welcome or have a good day. Took a star for that.

It was suppose to be a fun girls night and we all opted for pizzas, appetizers, bread knots, ect. 1. The wait was extended about 30 minutes longer than predicted. But that's ok, things happen and if they are making sure we get fresh good, hot foods...we will wait. But they weren't! 2. The order was wrong. We got over charged and wrong food was delivered or made. Both were not in our favor in the slightest. There was no sense in ruining more of our evening by sending the kid back with the messed items so, he got a big tip and we sent him in his way. 3. This one is major and the reason we won't eat there again...all 3 pizza were raw dough, soggy crust that was undercooked and a pale whiteish tan color on the crust. It was flavorless, badly made, just ugly. That's petty sounding but pizza generally looks delicious but this looked like it had been dropped. Not to mention all 3 boxes were stacked on each other in the delivery drivers car and the stream of pizzas softened the cardboard boxes so they collapsed in on each other. How this kid couldn't see or resolve the issue before he brought us squished pizzas is beyond me. 4. But the taste, right? That's what makes or breaks a place. Broken, it's just broken. The dough, which is specifically the pizza and the garlic knots, was not even good enough to be used in the marinara sauce. The pizzas were doughy, gooey, flavorless, unsalted, not yeasty, no chew to the dough and it was not a good vessel to carry toppings. The cheeses were greasy, rubbery and waxy. That fake cheap bulk bought cheese that only the cheapest places buy...the cheap restaurants really seem to like buying a using cheap cheeses that the customers don't enjoy and that make any effort to prepare good food automatically hit below the mark consistently. It isn't that difficult to make fresh mozzarella cheese to use on your dishes. It's lazy. How lazy is it to be a real Italian pizza joint and everything tastes bland and like the place is doomed. The cook would seem soulless and depressed by what he or she is putting out for public consumption. So they got a ton of money for a bunch of garbage that was delivered in squashed boxes and we were overcharged for food we ended by throwing away. Everyone tried everything and no one enjoyed any of it. I don't recommend wasting money here unless you looking for expensive badly made garbage. We are all getting squeezed to death financially but I refuse to support a local small business that doesn't care about it customers anymore.
