"Oy, would it maybe kill them to put out a nice brisket?"…read more (The Big Bang Theory, "The Vegas Renormalization") Yes, they can! That, along with some great pastrami and corned beef also! I've been to the Ben's Deli in Bay Terrace, Queens and the one that was on 38th St in Manhattan (now rebranded as Mr. Broadway) and there used to be a counter in the Roosevelt Field Mall food court across the street. Whichever one you go to, you can always count on a delicious, fresh sliced deli sandwich and a hearty soup accompanied at your table by stainless steel trays of crisp dill pickles and a heaping pile of cole slaw (aka Jewish salad). Another thing they all shared is the throwback 70's pastel Formica® décor. The menu is a HUGE tabloid sized card with a tiny font to cram in as many choices as possible. Imagine a NY Times full page in color, x2. Meeting up with our godson at Ben's, he had arrived early and ordered some appetizers to share, a Mixed Starter Platter (Chicken Tenders, Mini Franks, Potato Pancakes & Mini Meatballs) and an extra plate of Mini Meatballs in Gravy. Those were tasty and I saved the gravy for later. Some of us also got the Matzoh Ball soup and the Mushroom Barley soup in big bowls. I totally forgot to ask about the rotating Soup of the Day, because I was hoping for Split Pea. Next time! If you're at Ben's, you really have to get the pastrami and around the table, everybody got it in some shape or form. My wife & son got the Deli Duos, which is 2 sandwiches (pastrami & corned beef) on mini Challah rolls. My son likes those with Russian dressing. Our godson got the Ben's Deli Dog, a grilled butterflied Hebrew National frank topped with Pastrami & Sauerkraut on a Club Roll & thick Crinkle Cut Fries. My BIL & I got straight Pastrami on Rye. I wanted to try my stuffed pastrami sandwich with different dressings, first the meatball gravy and then Russian dressing, but the Ben's course deli mustard is always the best. As for the brisket, I always love to have it as a hot open sandwich with plenty of gravy and mashed potatoes, which I will keep in mind for next time. Hot Tip: Don't be shy to ask for a refill of pickles and slaw. We always do.

What dissapointing way to herald in the non-Jewish new year. You would think a restaurant's main…read moregoal is to please and accommodate the customer with great food and service. Well undeniably Ben's is and will always be my favorite Jewish Deli in NY. I have been frequenting the Carle Place location for years and I have never been so disgusted with the attitude and lack of courtesy and respect by the hostess Gilah and two servers lauren and a man whose name alludes me. When a restaurant makes you feel they are doing you a favor or that you should feel privileged for them serving you, something has gone wrong! On New Year's day to make you leave a restaurant because the server demands you order because doesn't like the fact you sat in a table for 4 when you are just one means , his POV is more important than mine as a customer, and another server (Lauren) intentionally makes you wait because she wants to side with the other server instead of coming to serve me they all left me waiting ten minutes passing me by to attend people that arrived later than I. Sure their food is great and most of their servers ARE AWESOME like Jeannete and others but sadly they made my 1st day of the New Year memorable for the wrong and negative reasons. Thank you Ben's for making my New Year's day one unfortunately and sadly i have to remember with disdain and staunch dissapointment!

This is the second time we've been here where we were the only ones in the restaurant. The ambiance is very pretty, while simple. Lots of tables. As soon as you walk in, you're handed iPad as menus that I enjoyed. The food was really good. Each couple ordered 2 appetizers and a salad. Why do restaurant salads always taste better than ones made at home? Maybe is was the perfectly fresh avocado with lemon vinaigrette. We had the kebeh which are crispy fried pockets filled with mushrooms and the meatballs filled with rice in a delectable tomato sauce, along with the Colbeh Special Salad loaded with avocado, cilantro, and other. Perfect for a linner (lunch/dinner) meal. Relatives had falafel with tahini, an eggplant with tomatoes, and a salad. We didn't try theirs, but they enjoyed it. Another "like" for Colbeh is the dishware. All white in interesting shapes. While it's not cheap, it's a nice place to go when you're limited on dining options. Again, didn't have my camera. Oops.

The baba ghanoush was excellent, it had a rich texture and a slightly sweet aftertaste that was very unique. I ate it with the veggies served alongside, as well as some rice later on in the meal, but honestly could have wolfed it down on its own. And then for mains, I had the fesenjun, a sweet stew with chunks of marinated chicken, served with a plate of rice. It was out of this world, with a thick consistency and lots of meat throughout. If you're up for a classic Persian dish and feel adventurous to try a sweet stew, I strongly recommend the fesenjun. And then throughout the meal, they kept bringing complimentary dishes that were outstanding. From the tahdig with ghormeh sabzeh on top, to the plate of hummus, to the fruit that came with our teas for dessert, all such a nice touch! Colbeh is excellent, come hungry and you'll be very pleased.
