I reached out to Ryanne Fadel at the 4th Ave Halal Meat Market who, within the hour, had delivered the most beautiful 10lb leg of lamb that one could wish for. Flavorful, tender, and as fresh as can be (the lamb had been slaughtered only the day before). Absolutely wonderful service, Ryanne's friendliness and responsiveness would have been reason alone to win my loyalty, but the piece of meat...my goodness, it was fabulous. Highly recommend the 4th Ave Meat Market for any needs for high quality butcher shop offerings. Thank you Mr Fadel and the team at the Market for really coming through when it really counted!!!

While the ambience of the shop was not so great...the butcher made the ground beef from a fresh piece of a cow..he trimmed the meat and then ground it. With the high price of beef today...he was almost $1.00 a pound less than the pre-packaged halal beef from ShopRite and the meat was superb and the Pastitso wonderful. He found another customer.

For Thanksgiving 2007, I bought my turkey from this live poultry market in the warehouse section of…read moreWoodside. There was a sizable group waiting outside for their orders and several folks walking out with small bags of fresh chicken. I asked one if the stuff is good. He replied with a big grin, "Yes. Good." This ain't the cleanest place in the hood, but what do you expect from what is essentially a chicken coop? I told the man I wanted a turkey that would be 12 pounds going into the oven. He said a live 15 pounder would fit the bill. He led around a head-high stack of plastic cages with white and brown chickens, which formed the enclosure for the rafter of turkeys. I was told to pick one out of the lot. I replied that I was inexperienced at sizing a live turkey. The man grabbed one by the leg and tied it to the scale, which spun around once: A 22 pounder which would be about 18 in the oven. Holy stuffing! I didn't want one that huge, but then the rest all looked bigger. I spared this one and waited a few minutes until the man picked another by the foot. Bingo! 16 pounds. I said yes, she got tagged and went off in a shopping cart, out of sight. I had fifteen minutes to kill while she was killed, scalded and plucked. I went to the gas station to pick up some ice. When I returned, the bird was ready in a bag, with its fat tail sticking out and warm to the touch. I paid $32.50 and put her in the cooler. At home, I first washed feathers and who-knows-what from my boots, then I took the bird out. My cat went nuts. Yowza! They'd left the head attached (as was the heart). I had visions of how cool it would be to present it at dinner with the head on (sadly, they had cut off the feet), then thought better of it. Perhaps next year, to more adventurous guests. I cut off the neck with shears, took out the organs and feet from the warm cavity and weighed the body: 12.5 pounds, perfect! I brined her for a few days and roasted at 425F. Pulled her out with the breast at 153F and thighs at 170F. She was the turkiest turkey I've ever had. The dark meat verged on being a little gamy, which was fine by me, but some may not appreciate it. The texture was chewier than other turkeys and very moist. Wow, a turkey with real flavor for once! The website lists eggs on sale. Three chickens for $9.99. Or buy 10 and get one free. But you better know if you want your chickens soft, medium or hard. Free delivery with $50 minimum.

((4.25 stars for the tacos))…read more it's been a minute since i have been to Ben's Deli. ownership changed; renovated, and have expanded their deli / grill offerings while reducing their taco offerings. if you didn't know Ben's just a few years ago was an old school deli / corner store where there would be different taco pop-ups serving up a limited menu of the Mexican street food. these days Ben's is a new modern looking deli / mini grocery that still serves tacos but just chicken or beef, now. the tacos are made from scratch, so you getting fresh food which takes a little bit more time than your typical fare. for some reason you can only order tacos in twos or threes, but you can't order three tacos without ordering a can of soda. ordered a trio of beef tacos which were well worth the wait. the tacos use thinly shaved flakes of seasoned beef; topped with chopped onions, a sprinkling of cilantro, & thin slices of avocado; and each taco is double tortilla'ed bc each taco is filled to the max. slices of limes are included. the beef is savory, moist, and flavored well. the double layer of corn tortillas taste like actual corn. the onions add texture and the avocados add smooth fattiness. the tacos are fresh hot food. the rest of Ben's outside of the tacos is pretty a standard deli/grocery; large menu of cold and hot foods; shelves filled with a variety of snack foods, refrigerated units filled with soft drinks and adult beverages plus some household goods. though i wish the taco menu had options like carnitas or al pastor and more from the past. i do find it strange that you can only order two tacos w/ no soda OR three tacos with a soda--no solos or a trio without soda. weird policy, but the taco guy made an exception for me and didn't force me to get a soda. there was a a back-n-forth with the cashier who wanted to charge me whether I got a soda or not. strange. but hey whatever...the tacos here are good and make for a satisfying dinner or lunch! not sure if the tacos are just a permanent part of the deli offerings or it's just a pop-up, but either way...it's a worthwhile stop for the tacos if you're hungry.

Wanted a Reuben type of special hero that was on their menu board, but the super friendly guy at the grill informed me they were out of Cole Slaw so opted for a Philadelphia Cheesesteak with Provolone, Mushrooms, Peppers and Onions - just the way I regularly like it. What's great about bodegas like this, you can put any of the add ons on your hero for no extra charge. The sandwich tasted good and, if I find myself nearby in the future, may stick my head into Ben's to see if they have Cole Slaw so I can grab that hero I originally wanted to try.
