    SUPERB!!! Delightful hoagies. Full of flavour and they're HUGE (skip breakfast if you're coming here for lunch!). Staff are friendly and prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes. 10/10 recommend.

    First visit in a good few years, and since they moved. Location may be different, food is - as always - up to it's incredible standards! We got there at half 2, and there weren't many sandwiches left, but OH had a Vegan option (lactose intolerant) and I had a Philadelphia. Both were amazing. And we were really pleased to see the Deli Bench still outside ☺️

    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!

    Amazing sandwiches! If you haven't tried here yet, do so, quickly! The only place I've ever ordered from where what I got was exactly like the picture. Sandwiches had plenty of filling, lots of meat, cheese and veggies.

    Amazing little place in Cardiff! The Ruebens (both NYD and Real) are amazing! Definitely go for a great, well-priced lunch. If you are from the states, make sure you mark where you come from on his map in the back!!

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

    Me and my partner visited The New York Deli a few days ago and it didn't disappoint even one bit. Hidden in one of Cardiff's famous arcades, the establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating whilst providing a combination of American classics (with some local twists). A true gem in Cardiff City Centre that will definitely be visited again!

    Really REALLY generous portions. Went there to get my work lunch and was still eating hoagie for tea. Super fresh ingredients, the coleslaw, pickles and other veg is always crunchy and tasty. I'd recommend coming here, even if you're not that hungry. Incredible value. See you all soon! <3

    I had the best sandwich of my life here, it was huge, meaty and packed full of flavour! It is definitely worth a visit here if you're in Cardiff, you won't regret it.

    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 2020 Was 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.

    We have been to New York Deli many times over the years for their vegan range and have never been disappointed. Everything is very decently priced, huge sandwiches filled to the brim with delicious, fresh ingredients. Would definitely recommend and look forward to going back :)

    Fantastic little family run restaurant. It was busy but still managed to find a place to sit and got served pretty quickly. Meatball grinder and pastrami hoagie were delicious and very filling as were the chips. If I am ever on the area again I will definitely return.

    Omg this place is insane! I was a bit apprehensive when we ended up here on a work trip in Cardiff, but wow! The sandwich was probably the best sandwich I've ever had from any shop... ever! It was fully loaded, triple decker, the flavour and sauce was just perfect, and it was how a sandwich should be, big - and I mean literally bigger than your hand big, fully loaded, and delicious in every bite. I feel like driving down to Cardiff just to get it once again, can't recommend enough!

    Have been meaning to try this place for some long! It was everything and more 😍 friendly staff, delicious food. The entire menu is also available in veggie / Vegan.

  • 5/5 Matt S. 1 year ago on Google • 47 reviews
    Probably the best place to have lunch in Cardiff, especially if you have a big appetite. Meaty, veggie and vegan options available, all delicious.

    Lovely service, staff are super friendly! And the bagel was the best bagel I've ever consumed in my entire life

  • 5/5 Jasmine S. 7 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    brilliant. Was amazed at how well balanced in terms of seasoning and flavour the cheeseburger bagel was! Our last meal of our trip to Cardiff and we loved it, also loved the feel of the place, had some locals come in who staff recognised and that was lovely.

    Philly cheese steak was out of this world good. In my hubbies words, "glorious hoagies for everyone, outstanding grubbing."

  • 3/5 Jess S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good but they suddenly closed the kitchen at 1.30pm, in the middle of lunchtime while we were queuing with no warning. It meant our 2 friends could order hot food in front of us, but we couldn’t. There wasn’t even a long queue so it wouldn’t have been hard to just serve us. Very disappointed and just generally found it quite strange.

  • 5/5 Billy S. 1 year ago on Google
    The best sub I've ever had! Such a good selection of vegetarian/vegan options and huge portion, would recommend 10/10

  • 5/5 Charlotte A. 1 year ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Epic Hoagies! Go hungry as the portions are very generous. Everything on the menu (bagels, hoagies, sandwiches, hot stuff) sounded great. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

  • 5/5 Marilyn L. 2 years ago on Google
    Veggie Rueben. What a treat to have a veggie deli sandwich. The portions are large and delicious, I recommend sharing with a friend, and leave room for their equally yummy desserts. 😋. The only thing that would take it over the top would be to have it toasted.

  • 5/5 Jarrod H. 2 years ago on Google
    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

    Bagels, hoagies and sandwiches. Epic quality. Great portions. Classic flavour combinations that are well executed. The reviews say it all, if you're visiting, you got to try it. The guys are super friendly too and happy to make recommendations.

    I've been visiting this sandwich shop for over 20 years. Excellent food, great service. Highly recommended.
