New York Deli in Cardiff

Great food, freshly made and quickly served up. Plenty of choice for vegans and veggies along with a helping of meatballs and pastrami!

Always the best sandwiches and bagels here. Can get very busy at lunchtimes but we have been lucky of late. Love the grab and go options too. Looking forward to my next lunch break here already.

Been going to New York Deli since it open 30 years ago. The bagels are gorgeous! The new venue in Duke St arcade is not quite finished yet but hopefully will as good as ever. A little bit pricey. Coffees are much improved!

This was our first visit to the New York Deli. Will definitely be back. Excellent value for money. Friendly staff. Food was amazing.

Was advised to come here by a mate and was not disappointed. Friendly staff, massive delicious sandwiches, reasonable prices. We had the Reuben, vegan Reuben and hot dog and all were delicious! Can't recommend enough

I wanted a hunk of a slice of cake for a sweet craving, and you only get slithers in coffee shops, but I'd passed the NY Deli the previous week and stopped at their window because of the lovely looking cakes so I knew this was the place to go!I ordered ahead online for click and collect as I didn't have time to really stop. Online ordering was easy and they offer 10% off for pickup which is great. You can collect from about 25 minutes after ordering. I had no idea the prices were so low for their desserts, I was really surprised. For the size you get, it's fab value.I hoofed it to town to pickup my order, which was ready. One of the guys there told me that he'd put a fork in the bag for me in case I wanted to dig in straight away, which was nice of him. As I was walking away I got distracted by the menu in the window, so I went to take a picture of it for later, seeing me doing this, another guy inside waved a paper menu at me from behind the window, so I went to get that from him from the counter. It was easier and made more sense than having a photo on my phone. So two lovely guys serving and just went that little bit extra to make my experience better.I bought the vegan chocolate cake slice. I'm not vegan, but it just looked sooo good and moist so I thought I'd take my first venture into vegan baking and boy was I was no disappointed. You'd never know it was vegan. It was moist and sweet and rich and chocolatey, exactly what I needed and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Really good cake, I'll be back for sure. Maybe on my next visit I'll have time to try their famous sandwiches and hogies!Update - October 2020Was planning on visiting the NY Deli anyway, when they posted on Instagram that they actually had an agreement with the local bar, Bubs to order Deli food to there so that you could actually sit and eat in comfort and get a drink from them.This was absolutely perfect given a lack of seating now in town due to covid restrictions and some bad weather! Made my way to Bubs on a Tuesday afternoon, perfectly tucked away in Church Street and feels good to support a local too, ignoring the chains next to it. Covid restrictions in place, sanitiser available at the door and you're informed with a sign to wait to be seated. Was greeted by a lovely lady from the bar and I asked for a nice warm seat as it quite nippy and she showed me to a table towards the back of the bar. She asked if I was eating and I said I'd like to order from the Deli.This was fine and they had deli menus on all their tables ready. She explained what I needed to do, to order online and gave me the address to order too with the table number, then explained that to order Bubs drinks that there was a QR code on the table to scan and order table service. All very easy, ordered a non alcoholic IPA and ordered deli food, thinking it would take a good half hour to arrive. To my surprise, the guy from the deli arrived with the hogies within 10 minutes which was great. Hogies were well wrapped up, and was provided with paper plates, cutlery and napkins.The food from the deli was outstanding, known for their huge sandwiches and hogies so I had a 'dinky' hogie and my associate had a regular one. Both NY hogies, and I asked for mine to be made with turkey instead of beef, which was obliged. So tasty, really enjoyed the coleslaw, the turkey was lovely and soft and plenty of it.Overall a great experience, I'll definitely head back, especially in the winter for somewhere nice, cosy and quiet to sit, drink, eat and read a book if you wanted. This review goes hand in hand for both Bubs and NY Deli, both 5 stars for service and food/drinks. Definitely recommend, and you're supporting two wonderful local businesses.

Excellent sandwich. While it's a little pricey you definitely get a lot of food. If this was slightly toasted it would've been perfect. Would definitely go back again.

Who drives a 100miles for a Sandwich...This was an Off Menu.. the Original "White House Special". They still make it. Not for the faint hearted, and you might take some of it home...Great atmosphere, as always

Great Hoagies. Great Staff. Huge portions. We ate half and had to take rest away. Highly recommended. We ate the Vegan/Veggie and The New Yorker. Lovely.

Crazy big sandwiches. Had a reuben this time. Not sure if I like salt beef though, because of the texture. They also have a great selection of drinks, friendly staff and pretty cool decor. They'll even wrap your sandwich if you can't finish it.
