Sam's Deli has the best omelettes, classic NYC' chopt cheese, and sandwiches in the West Village. It is THE best take-out deli in my West Village neighborhood ... the go-to place from r everyone in our neighborhood... such nice people!

Roast Beef Sandwich

Don't waste your time or money. Cons: Cash only. Multiple insects flying around. Doesn't taste good. Pros: People were kind. Food was inexpensive. Ordered a roast beef sandwich. No bueno. Go somewhere else.

Roasted turkey sandwich
Jonathan N.

Went in here for the first time tonight 10 minutes before closing. Young gentleman at the front was very polite and nice! For the roasted turkey sandwich with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes-- was very good and a good price! They use Boar Heads meat which is the best! Other items are overpriced, but that's what you get for a local convenient store in West Village. Very pleased with the sandwiches and employees!

It's not a sit down place, it's a mini deli. You get your sandwich and leave. The workers are nice and will make small talk. For groceries such as milk, they are more expensive than the grocery store, but their sandwiches are delicious! Although I can no longer eat them, I wish I could. The roast beef with munster cheese, tomato, and lettuce was the best! The bread is delicious and the meat, cheese and add ons are fresh. They are also speedy with your order. As for tea (I have not had their coffee), it's just Lipton so it's common. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick lunch to eat in a park, at home, or at work.

THE BIG: Located in the Theater district of Manhattan. Pretty unassuming and then you find the door…read moreand get transported to and Italian deli. Small space inside but you don't need much space to make bussin sandwiches. Walking or public transportation is preferred. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here after a long day doing booth duty at a summit and was starving from not eating the entire day. Fortunatley the place was pretty quiet since it was 2pm and I got my orders in. For sandwiches, I ended up getting the Favolosa and the Italiana. The favolosa had a delicious artichoke cream and salami that was a banger. The italiana had all your great italian cured meats as well as a truffle cream sauce that made the umami bomb even more umami. So good! THE FINAL BAMBOO: The two sandwiches were around $45, a little pricier on the sandwich side but man are they delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in NYC.

Okay, so this is the sandwich shop that is famous in Italy, and I waited over 20 minutes in line in…read moreRome for it. It is still one of my favorite sandwiches to this day. The La Paradiso sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachios...God's creation!!So when I heard they were coming to NYC, I was SO excited. Okay... it was good, but it was not Italy good. My focaccia didn't taste as fresh, and my sandwich felt rushed;like it wasn't made with love. It still tasted good, but it was definitely not the same magical experience as that first bite I had in Rome. The lemon drink definitely get it. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I had the original in Italy, but I wanted to love it more!

I'm so glad Broad Nosh Bagels & Deli popped up in my search, as it was exactly what I was looking to enjoy. A couple of us trekked the few blocks to find the storefront. Inside it was PACKED, and several groups and lines snaked around the dividers. But the line moved quickly between customers picking up to-go meals and placing orders at the counters. The display cases are beautiful and feature so many different kinds of cream cheese. (Who knew you could make a whole vat of Biscoff?) They also had many types of smoked fish and toppings for customers filing through. Once you order food, you take your ticket to the register where you can add any drinks. This also went fairly quickly. Food and drink order numbers were called out and checked with the receipts, although they called out a set of orders for several minutes and no one came to pick them up. There are a few tables there, but since customers wait to grab drinks and food near the front, the couple tables at the front were basically for crowd control. I definitely wouldn't try to eat there unless I happened to be going at a quieter time. I got the bagel with smoked salmon, and it was exactly what I had been craving. Their bagels are a quarter pound each, so you might even get two meals out of it if you have a fridge for storage. But even as good as the bagel was, the hot chai latte with oat milk was the star for me. It was so incredibly layered for flavor and fragrant, just lightly sweet. I would go out of my way on a trip to NYC just to get one of these for breakfast! We all really enjoyed our food, and I will definitely return.

Last day in New York back the end of March, found us looking for a place to get warm and grab some…read morefood while doing our last exploring dash through Times Square. We ducked here to grab some nourishment before I became to hangry. Ordering takes place at the counter then grab a table. I had a 1/2 bowl of their "famous chicken soup" and 1/2 pastrami sandwich. Had good flavor and was enough to warm me up on this brisk morning. My niece did a bagel, and after trying all week she finally got one exactly how she wanted it made. We ate and chilled for a bit, no plans for the day other than making it to the airport to go home. Was able to people watch and catch up without feeling rushed to leave. Saw locals come through, so you know it is a place worth stopping. The staff were nice and even apologized for not being able to give me the soup I wanted in a half order. Though things can often get overlooked and passed by in the hustle and bustle of the city...stop in and relax while you grab a bite to eat.

Date of visit: April 14, 2026…read more Our friend wanted to go to a real New York deli during her first trip to the city and this is the one in the vicinity of Times Square and our evening show that was the highest rated according to my fellow Yelpers, but I am not quite sure why based on our experience. Things did start out great, with Boudjema being very friendly and helpful as we placed our order. And once we got seated, we were able to fully appreciate the vibe, both in the primarily 70s playlist, but also the mirror and brass touches across the restaurant. Food-wise, however, there were some definite opportunities. My Roasted Turkey sandwich did come on quite possibly the best rye bread I have ever had, warm and flavorful. But while the gravy was also good, the turkey was cold. This odd temperature mismatch made it hard to appreciate the generous portion of meat on the sandwich. We also ordered some tater tots and those were quite good. While it definitely could have been worse--and I've had worse in New York City--this also could have been so much better.
