    My husband and I just left and everything was phenomenal! Definitely try the matzo soup, sesame chicken and hot pastrami. They were delicious and not too salty. The pickles were so fresh too! It’s so clean and nice inside so I’m glad we stayed to dine in.. Our server and the lady at the front register were so nice and welcoming. We for sure will be back :)

    We love Essen!!!! Always impressed by their food! We had a sheva brachos here and they actually catered a few family events always with consistency, reliability, and beautifully executed. Everyone keeps telling us that they still dream about the crispy beef and brisket pinwheels from our party! Thank you Essen! You are decibels our family favorite

This establishment has become one of our favorites.Now, we will be back many times.

    Essen NY Deli is a winner! The pastrami sandwich was piled high, perfectly smoked, juicy, and flavorful — one of the best in the city. Corned beef and matzo ball soup were excellent too. Service was super friendly and fast, even during the lunch rush. The place is clean but pretty basic/no-frills vibe. Great kosher deli spot — definitely worth it for the food alone!

    Love the new location, sort of miss the old and nostalgic place on Coney where Essex was forever. This is a go to lunch spot for me for meetings. It’s a Deli. Order the deli and comfort food. Best coleslaw/pickle combo in the kosher world. And the potato salad is a must. They simply make the perfect deli sandwich. Table service can be improved. Love the cleanliness. Fantastic.

    The restaurant is located in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. They prepare kosher deli cuisine. Prices for food that is kosher are generally higher. I ordered two lunch specials. The hot corned beef option has an additional charge. The sandwich had a nice generous amount of tasty and not salty meat. I selected that both sandwiches be prepared with rye bread. Customers have an option of selecting a soup or french fries. The special also includes a beverage option. The roasted turkey was a nice sandwich. I ordered the matzo ball with noodles and mushroom barley soups. The kasha varnishkes was good but did not include any gravy. The restaurant was previously on Coney Island Avenue but moved to a new and improved location on Avenue J.
