Native New Yorker and pastrami connoisseur looking for a taste of home away from home. NY Deli delivered. My family and I had the pastrami, brisket, and turkey Rueben and could not agree on a favorite. 10 out of 10!

If you are looking for an authentic New York deli experience in Amsterdam, this is it. We came specifically for the Pastrami and Brisket sandwiches, and they did not disappoint. The quality is incredible, honestly, it reminded me so much of Katz’s Deli in NYC. It is a bit on the pricier side, but for meat this good, it’s absolutely worth the visit. 10/10!

We ordered pastrami and Reuben. The meat in both was good, but a little greasy. The chips and coleslaw that came with it were nice, but the pickles were more like cucumbers than pickles. At 15 euros, I think that's a good price.

Right in the heart of Amsterdam. The food is very good. I highly recommend the pastrami sandwich. It's served with chips and a dollop of coleslaw. The 150g version (€15) is perfectly adequate as a snack for two people and comes as a shared sandwich. The restrooms are clean. Next time I'll try something else. All the sandwiches are freshly prepared, and the meat is freshly sliced, making it very juicy. 👍🏻

We were staying across the street at the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnopalsky and I saw this place had pastrami sandwiches. After reading the positive reviews I decided I had to give it a try.

Wow! This place did not disappoint. The pastrami sandwich was probably the best I've had outside of Katz' Delicatessen in NYC. If you're craving a good sandwich I would highly recommend.

Honestly, this place really surprised me in the best way. NY Deli is doing something special. The staff were super welcoming, the atmosphere was great, and the food was just next level.

We tried the pastrami, the Reuben, and the braised brisket, and all three were amazing. Perfectly cooked meat, very generous portions, and bread grilled just right. Everything tasted fresh and well thought out. You can really tell this food is made with care and skill.

Huge shoutout to the chef, clearly very talented. Every bite showed experience and passion. This is not your average sandwich spot.

For a new place, NY Deli is already one of the best sandwich spots I have tried in Amsterdam. Easily some of the best sandwiches I have had here. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back.

It is honestly overrated. The meat is decent, yet nothing memorable, and the flavors do not justify the price. For what you pay, the experience falls short, price/performance is disappointing.

It was quite cold inside because the front door was kept open(outside -5 degrees). We kindly asked several times if it could be closed, but unfortunately nothing changed. It made the experience uncomfortable.
