Matzo ball and mushroom barley soup, as well as hot and pastrami on rye are a few of the staples you’ll find here. Of course, salads, cold cut and specialty sandwiches are also abundant to pick and choose from.
Some of the quick bites or “noshes” as they are referred to on the menu, are homemade potato chips, fruit filled noodle pudding or kugel, and a variety of knishes. One selection not to be missed is Deli King’s famous homemade French fries which have just received notable accolade.
“We recently won an award for best French fries on Long Island from Newsday,” said Newman.
Entrees you can enjoy in the casual setting of the Deli King dining room include stuffed cabbage, tender brisket, roast chicken and broiled Romanian tenderloin steak served with fried onions. Specials also run frequently.
