Listen bubbeleh, we're slinging the same pastrami that made the Lower East Side famous. Hand-rolled bagels at dawn, brisket that'll make you plotz, and enough pickles to make your bubbe proud.
Best Deli in Dallas
D Magazine • 5 Years Running
Est. 1985
Nu, so here's the deal. Back in '85, we schlepped our family recipes from Brooklyn to Dallas. Why? Because even cowboys deserve a proper nosh.
Every morning, we're up before the roosters, rolling bagels by hand like our zayde taught us. The lox? Cured in-house. The pastrami? Fourteen days of love, spices, and a little bit of chutzpah.
Look, we're not trying to be fancy. We're just doing what we've always done — making food that tastes like home, even if home is 1,500 miles away.
"Oy, such portions!"
- Every customer, ever

"Walking into Deli News is like walking into your grandmother's kitchen — if your grandmother happened to run the best deli in Brooklyn."

What the critics and community are saying
Richardson/Lake Highlands • Sunday, June 17, 2007
For 20 years, Deli News has been more than a restaurant — it's a cultural bridge connecting Dallas to the authentic flavors and warmth of New York's legendary delis.
"The article opens by highlighting the authentic New York deli atmosphere: patrons are greeted as soon as they walk in, orders are called out over the bustle, and staff quickly recognize and welcome regulars by name."
As featured in Dallas News, our deli serves as a social hub for transplants from the Northeast and locals alike. Owner Michael Adamovsky, a Russian immigrant, has created a space where both customers and employees are treated like family — establishing a community that spans generations.
A cultural anchor for Jewish and Russian communities in Dallas for over 35 years
From knishes to kreplach, every dish tells a story of tradition
Staff from NY and Eastern Europe bring genuine flavor and atmosphere
Many customers dine several times a week — some even daily
"More than a restaurant — it's a slice of home"
— Dallas News
Three generations. One vision. From the old country to the new world, we've been slicing, schmearing, and serving with the same dedication our grandparents had.
Every morning, our butchers arrive before dawn to prepare the day's cuts. The same hands that learned from their fathers, who learned from theirs. It's not just about technique — it's about respect for the craft.
"If you want it done right..."
Do it the way zayde did it
Every photo on our walls tells a story. Every regular has a usual. Every celebration starts and ends here.
Their recipes live on in every dish we serve
Bar mitzvahs, birthdays, first dates, business deals — if it happened in Dallas's Jewish community, chances are it happened here.
Because details matter when you're making memories
Local artists leave their mark, just like our food leaves its impression
