Welcome to Schmaltz Delicatessen, where tradition meets flavor.

INNOVATING JEWISH DELI FOR EVERYONE.

Schmaltz Delicatessen and Schmaltz Deli Express are working to evolve the idea of Jewish deli fare. Although we still embrace our roots of classic Jewish delis of NYC’s Lower East Side. Our FAMOUS PASTRAMI and CORNED BEEF are cut to order and served up warm, juicy and delicious. We cook most of our meats in house, including our incredible BEEF BRISKET and ROAST BEEF. You would be hard pressed to find better deli meats anywhere. In fact we’ve received accolades and recognition for our overall food taste, quality and service. If you are a lover of lox, we offer the finest buttery & lightly smoked lox served with our own house made cream cheeses on a fresh made bagel. Our bagels are traditional New York City style and are boiled & baked fresh daily in a variety of flavors.

GET THE RIGHT STUFF!

It’s how we think about serving you everyday. We don’t want to do anything small. So, What is OVERSTUFFED you ask? It’s our regular sandwich. Yup. It’s kinda like our standard of awesomeness. If you want less meat, gotta ask for half stuffed. Although, Bubbe would never dream of sending you on your way just half stuffed.

What our customers are saying

Check out our most recent reviews!

We had an entirely great experience at Schmaltz Deli! The clean, bright and warm ambiance, coupled with friendly and helpful employees provided a comfortable and relaxing meal. A wide variety of bagels and assorted cream cheeses were top notch. Don't forget your bialy that's prepared on the weekends only. Assorted smoked fish sandwiches and salads, soups, egg omelets and scrambled, vegetarian offerings, yogurts, cereals, fruit bowls, oatmeal, French toast, deli hash, candied pastrami slices and a huge selection of baked goods all provide something for everybody. The outdoor seating is available for those great weather days. I highly recommend frequenting Schmaltz Deli! Well done to the ownership and staff at Schmaltz Deli! KUDOS!

Visited during the lunch rush, and our server was very quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Brisket Chili was excellent, and the bowl is meal sized. The Latkes were hot and crisp with a tender center, and they tasted great sweet or savory with apple sauce or with sour cream. We split an overstuffed Turkey Pretzel sandwich, and there was so much turkey I had to open the sandwich and eat a bit of it before I could take a bite. 10/10 will be returning!
