Saba Deli & Grocery — Local services in New York

Not upfront with pricing and not responsive to customer feedback.

I ordered a sandwich on a wrap which I assumed was the same price as on roll (as it is with almost every other bodega in my area), was informed it was $3.00 when he went to ring it up.

Honestly, a big reason that I don't go in here is simply because I am a vegetarian, and the deli has poor ventilation so it is always permeated with the smells of cooking meat, which I don't like. Not that there is anything inherently...

Everyone is nice the food is good. The hispanic cook adds a good amount of meat in the sandwiches. The guy that's older and wears a hat adds very little meat to the sandwhiches. I bought a pastrami he made went home opened it up it had alot of salad and maybe a quarter of an inch of meat. The roast beef is popular i never see it. The pastrami is good but...
