This is a deli that nickels and dimes their customers. Unless every other deli or restaurant is closed and something happens to the 7-Eleven down the street, don't go to this deli!
If you are a Muslim and you see halal options, don't order it! The cook does not care about your dietary restrictions! Your 'halal' lamb over rice will be cross contaminated with non-halal deli meat either because the cook uses the same gloves, or the same fryer and oil, or because the meats are cut with the same knives. Cross contamination invalidates the halal-ness of your lamb over rice. Not to mention that you won't be getting your money's worth here.
If you're not a Muslim, be prepared to pay the highest price of any deli in the area as far as sandwiches are concerned. If you really need a deli for your hot and cold sandwiches, walk a few blocks down the Q65 line to College Point and there's an Indian deli that isn't cheap.
The only thing the cook gets right is that they are wearing a mask.
Now, when you bring your overpriced meal to the register for the cashier, and likely the store owner, to ring, be prepared to pay 25 cents a bag. 25 cents? I thought it was 5 cents! You heard correctly. 25 cents for one ordinary paper bag. The city only asks retailers to charge 5 cents.
Oh and if you forgot your cash at home, be prepared to pay another 4% on top for credit card fees! The deli isn't paying 4% to process credit cards, so they're trying to make a quick bucks here as well.
Your $8.99 pastrami hero that you could get for $6.49 elsewhere and has less meat than the competitor all said and done is going to cost you $10.43 after tax, credit card fee, and paper bag fee. The heroes they use might be the same length as competitors but they sure feel thinner!
Nickel and dime establishment. Don't go here unless there's two feet of snow, it's 3am, and literally everything else is closed! I've had to do that. Though with delivery apps gaining traction, you may not even have to do that anymore!
