Cute little restaurant in Great Neck. We had an aberrant experience- the restaurant was totally…read moreoverwhelmed for Mother's Day. The kitchen was really backed up, they served us at different times and then mixed up part of our order. It took them a while, but they did the right thing by giving us some spreads and comping us for the screwed up entree. Having said that, the staff were lovely and the food was amazing. The dips were great. The entrees were awesome. I had possibly the best shawarma ever. The shakshuka and falafel were excellent. If not for the miscues, this is a five star restaurant. Would happily give them another chance.

It is a little pricey for sure, but that said , the food was excellent ! My shawarma over arugula and cabbage was amazing! Was disappointed that during Passover they wouldn't put some matzah on the table. They would only give you matzah if you got an appetizer , which we really didn't want. Kinda thought that was cheap. Parking is on the street, with meters 25 cents for 1/2 an hour, not bad. After 6 you don't need to pay a meter.

The food is so great, especially since ladle and loaf has lots on their menu that you would really only find treif, like buffalo chicken for example. 18/10 establishment!

"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.

We enjoyed of a pastrami sandwich, a square knish, an egg sandwich, a side of potato salad and close our feast chocolate babka, simply the best babka.

Just don't. Horrible customer service…read more They also have no idea what's going on. Called to ask for any specials and was told they don't have any. But the website says they have happy hour. Went in but one of us had a baby and they denied us service! They refused to seat us at the bar which is part of the happy hour. I mean, what baby is drinking at the bar?!!! Incredibly silly and unprofessional. Fine they don't want to seat the group at the bar because of a baby, at least offer the happy hour at the table that we were forced to sit at. No they didn't. We left. This isn't how you treat customers. People go out to eat to relax and have a good time. There are plenty of restaurants nearby with warm ambiance and great food options. This place was not it. I bet the food is probably horrible, hence the happy hour to get people in the door. Bad staff. Bad place. Go somewhere that cares for their customers.

The brisket was very salty, so much so that it ruined the meal. The turkey was cold cut quality; im used to fresh off the bone turkey breast. I can get a better sandwich at a sandwich shop unfortunately, and at a more modest price. The latkes were overly fried, to the extent that they were hard to cut, although they were tasty. On a positive note, the service was exceptional. There must be a great kosher deli on Long Island. Where is it?
