Ben's Kosher Delicatessen Scarsdale

I love this place, the food is excellent, the people who work here are the best. Unfortunately, it looks like this place is another victim of COVID. So sad. I really hope they return when things improve. I'm gonna miss Oscar, he's really a nice guy.

I usually do not write reviews but I was so taken back by the the Ben’s deli on Central Avenue in Scarsdale. I have been to numerous Bens deli being the pastrami fan that I am. The pastrami was the freshest most delicious mouth melting pastrami I’ve ever had in my entire life. I asked the waiter if he could bring over the manager so I can tell the manager how happy I was with the quality of his food. he brought over the manager Oscar and the head chef Attilio and they were so appreciative by my comments that I felt their sincerity. My wife had other food which she said was also very good.

Old school sit down deli. Tried the potato pancakes- excellent. Home made. Cole slaw and pickles were just right. Have to try the pastrami next time . Service was great.

The true kosher deli is a dying breed. There are kosher style deli's out there like Katz. However the food is not kosher. You can taste the difference in kosher meat. The flavors are better the quality is better. If you like old school Ben's has a dish called beef in the pot. It literally is the kitchen sink. Short ribs, Matzo ball, kreplach, noodles, peas carrots in real chicken broth. Better not eat two meals before having this. The short rib meat literally falls of the bone. Very flavored. Try it with a little horse radish. There sandwich selections also great. This is a kosher gastronomy delight.

The food was excellent. it was a very simple delicacies with better than average food. I had the top string that was delicious and slim.
