59 Deli And Mart - NYACK

The owner is incredibly friendly, and everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the Chicken California and the chicken and rice—I'm genuinely impressed by the way he marinates his chicken. The portion sizes are generous as well, and the prices are very reasonable.

The new management has taken over, and unfortunately, the food is nearly inedible. The sandwiches don’t match what’s listed on the menu. The chicken is rubbery and tastes like it’s been frozen. My falafel had an odd brown liquid oozing from it. The deli meat might be the only option that feels safe to eat.

What Amir does is truly exceptional; his food embodies a level of passion that is unparalleled. You can genuinely taste the care he puts into his cooking, as he strives to ensure you experience nothing less than the best. His Halal dishes deserve special recognition—every time I indulge in his chicken over rice, it feels as though I’m in his home, enjoying a meal as a welcomed guest at lunch.

I visited this restaurant for lunch after a recommendation from a colleague. I decided to try the lamb over rice dish. To be honest, I've had better experiences elsewhere. While it wasn't bad, the rice was lacking in flavor, and I found myself having to cover the entire meal in their red and white sauces to enhance the taste. On the bright side, the portion sizes are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. Perhaps it was just an off day when I went, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

I've only tried this sandwich a few times, but it's absolutely delicious! They offer a fantastic menu with a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks. They stay open late, which is a huge bonus, and they also deliver!
