I ordered a hot pastrami on rye with sauerkraut and mustard, a spinach potato knish, and matzo ball soup. My total came to $31 for those three items. The sandwich alone cost $17. The reviews on google are inaccurate, this deli doesn't deserve an overall 4.6 star rating at the time of this review. The reviews on Yelp are much more accurate at 3.5 star at the time of this review. I would even say Yelp's overall review is much too generous. It is better for you not to join me on this disappointing experience. I won't go into much detail about the soup and knish. I can't really comment on the matzo ball soup because this was my first time having it but I can comment on is the broth. The broth was bland with a very mild chicken flavor. Tasted like Campbells chicken broth out of a can diluted with water. I will abstain from commenting on the matzo ball, and the included noodles were nothing special. Is this what its suppose to taste like? The Knish was tasty. I chose the spinach potato knish because it came right out of the oven as I ordered so it was fresh. It had a flaky exterior and a nice mix of spinach and potato flavors in its center. It's the only reason this review is not 1 star. Now for the pastrami, which I'm sure you've all been anxious to know about. As you will see from the attached photos, the sandwich is deceptively full. They stack most of the meat in the center with very thin amounts around the perimeter. The pastrami itself was tasty, wasn't overly fatty or salty. The sauerkraut topping was scarce and so was the mustard. Plainly, the sandwich is not worth $17 for the amount of meat provided. Alas, I could be totally off point, but I think normal delis make pastrami sandwiches better than this "revered" top Jewish deli in NYC. Listen to the negative reviews, this sandwich is not worth your money. I didn't and here I am writing my disappointment.

Serious glatt kosher restaurant. For some reason I never ate here when I lived close by in 1990 so I rectified by visiting close to closing time. I wasn't sure if there was table service or you ordered at the counter but the counterman set me straight and I sat down and was overwhelmed by the menu. Should I get traditional deli or some of the Hungarian specialties? I overheard the charming waiter speaking in Engbrew to a customer that the gefilte fish was fresh so when I got my chance to order that was the first dish. I expressed my happy problem of having too many choices and he said 'start with the gefilte fish and go from there'. After a minute he brought over bread and what I thought was beet salad (that was one of the healthy dishes I was considering ) and he said "a little something while you wait' so I spooned a glob of the purple into my glob and like proust getting a bucket of water dumped on my head I then remembered my childhood, which may have been the most recent interaction with the non-white horseradish. Whoop! When the fish came I smothered it with that. Then I asked the waiter, Yitz (Isaac?) About the cherry soup. He said it's just me but I like hot soup on a cold night. I asked whether I should get the savory Kugel or the dumplings and he said the Kugel was just made so I ordered that. And the Hungarian chicken and the stuffed cabbage. I got a Dr Brown's wild cherry soda to cure the cherry craving and a seltzer after to settle the fresser stomach. The Kugel wasn't to my liking but everything else was tasty, the chix in partic. All and all a small cozy and pleasurable event.

I was a little apprehensive on how the experience was going to go at Gottlieb’s after reading some of the reviews. I was only going to be in Brooklyn for a short period of time and didn’t want to miss the opportunity. I am sure glad that I didn’t skip it
. First off, the food was incredible. We got a bunch of side dishes and a few sandwiches. The waiter was super nice, efficient and got the order perfect and was always ready to help us if we needed anything. The prices seemed very fair. It cost about $100 for the three of us.. I can’t wait to get back there as soon as I can. Thank you guys for a very memorable experience

Review (written by a Jewish customer):

As a member of the Jewish community, finding a kosher establishment that serves authentic and delicious food is truly a treasure. I can confidently say that Gottlieb's Restaurant and Deli at 352 Roebling Street in Brooklyn, NY is an exceptional choice.

Managed by Menashe Gottlieb, a dedicated owner who continues the family legacy, this restaurant offers a wide array of traditional deli dishes that are simply outstanding. From their mouthwatering pastrami sandwiches to the rich and delectable kugel, and the comforting matzo ball soup, Gottlieb's delivers an authentic and satisfying dining experience.

Walking into Gottlieb's, I immediately felt welcomed by the warm and inviting ambiance. The staff, who were attentive and friendly, made me feel right at home. The decor and atmosphere reflect the traditional deli setting, transporting you back in time to the heart of Jewish culinary heritage.

But let's talk about those sandwiches! The pastrami at Gottlieb's is a true standout. The meat is tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. Nestled between slices of freshly baked and perfectly toasted rye bread, it creates a harmonious combination that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight. It's undoubtedly one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had in the city.

While the sandwiches are a true highlight, Gottlieb's menu extends beyond them. Their kugel is a delight, with its perfectly balanced flavors and comforting texture. And who can resist their matzo ball soup? It's like a warm hug in a bowl, providing both nourishment and a sense of nostalgia.

What sets Gottlieb's apart is the dedication to preserving family traditions and offering authentic kosher cuisine. As a Jewish customer, I appreciate the attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the highest standards of kosher dining.

If you're on the lookout for a kosher restaurant with an incredible deli experience, Gottlieb's Restaurant and Deli is undoubtedly the place to go. It's a true gem, where you can enjoy classic Jewish delicacies in a setting that celebrates our...
