"Catering to Brooklynites with a big taste for lots of meat, these delis turn out piled-high sandwiches stuffed with phenomenal pastrami, brisket and other classics; they’re nothing special to look at, but are one of the musts in the neighborhood."

Robert Sietsema

"Mmmmm! The pastrami and corned beef are also quite good, too, as are the cheese-dressed fries."

Kristen Oliveri

"Best Jewish delis across the USA: David's Brisket House - A line can be seen stretching out the front door in the morning for their specialty items including a non-kosher breakfast sandwich stuffed with eggs, pastrami and American cheese."

Adam Platt

"This famous Muslim-run deli in Bed-Stuy is supposedly known for its brisket, but go for the pastrami, which is brined then steamed several hours before serving. To taste the fatty, aromatic pleasures of this classic deckle cut, we suggest the regular-size sandwich on rye, although many of the regulars prefer the more commodious club roll — slathered with plenty of mustard, of course, and washed down with a can of Dr. Brown’s Black Cherry on the side."

Christina Izzo

"The best pastrami sandwiches in NYC: David's Brisket House - The menu features just three items: pastrami, brisket and corned beef. Get yours piled high on a roll or rye with a side of brisket-drippings gravy."

James Boo

"While still getting into a groove as far as service is concerned, the local favorite is already drawing lines, and for good reason: David's serves some of the best pastrami in Brooklyn. The meat— full-flavored, fall-apart tender, and resoundingly rich—goes toe to toe with any of its Manhattan counterparts."

Rob Cramer

"This brisket is so soft and moist that you won’t even have to worry about adding mustard."

Erin Mosbaugh

"The brisket, pastrami, and corned beef sandwiches feature moist, tender slices of meat, piled high on a roll or rye bread slicked with mustard and mayo."

Julie Besonen

"Despite its name, David's Brisket House is stronger in the pastrami department, the marbled, juicy meat sliced up similar to bacon strips and generously piled on your choice of bread. It's equally good on rye or a club roll stained yellow with pungent mustard."

Ben Jay

"David’s in Bed-Stuy was founded by Jews, serves all the essential Jewish deli meats, and is now run by observant Muslims, who serve up a unique and delicious halal pastrami. The restaurant is open every day (with a two-hour break for Friday prayers), and the pastrami has that signature mix of sweet and spice."
