Had the pastrami and corn beef side by side sandwiches on rye . So good ! The pickles and cole slaw are great . The design inside is modern and funky compared to most older Jewish delis. It's expensive but delicious . Good to treat yourself to every once in a while for sure .
It's been a while since I treated myself to a meal without bothering to check the price, but with my birthday coming up, and having had only an okay visit to another Jewish Deli in the county recently, as well as bad experiences in midtown Manhattan over the summer, I decided, after looking at the reviews and menu, to try Liebman's. Even tohugh it was a saturday, with the resulting ****** bus service I should have expected on my trip home. Thankfully, this visit was not a disappointment at all. Upon arriving, I was seated within a minute, and presented with a menu (though I'd known in advance what I wanted to order), and having seen the hot chicken soup behind the counter as I came in, just threw caution to the wind, and ordered without regad to price. So I started my meal with their chicken noodle soup and a cup of tea. The soup was execellent - a very nice broth, not overly salty, but definitely the right amount so it tasted like what you want from a chicken soup broth. Big chucks of chicken, big chucks of vegies, and long, very thin noodles. Anyone who's used to someyhing like Campbell's or Progresso canned soups will immediately try this and be amazed at how much better fresh soup is. It's not cheap, but the result is not even close. It's so much better than canned it's not funny. And if you're cooking for sevral people, or if you're not feeling well, it's actually something you can come pretty close to if you just asseemble similar ingredients at home. Your homemade soup might be different than this, but if you like a really good soup, this is one you can eat out and be confident it'll measure up to a good homemade soup. My main course was brisket and latkes. Finding a good version of this has been a minor quest, as findin good latkes that are close enough to my mom's homemade latkes has also been a minor quest, and finding this place, I don't have to look anymore. This brisket is tender, sliced very thin, and served with a ot gracy that it does need if you want the bisket hot. (That's my only knock on the brisket - it wasn't temp hot without the gravy. But with the gravy, it was hot, and yummy.) The latkes were very much an equal partner to the brisket on this plate for me, and they were excellent. I became aware of how much better my mom's latkes were compared to many others at a Hebrew school Hanukkah dinner once, when the parents were asked to bring latkes, and many did, but my mom's latkes were gone - utterly demolished - by the attendees in the first go around. Plenty of other latkes were still there for people wanting seconds, but non my mom's. They were GONE. With good reason. Pan fried on both sides, moist and flavor filled insde, my mom made amazing latkes. Liebman's are not my mom's but they're close enough that I'm not going to complain. There's a lot of mediocre latkes out there. These are great latkes. Are they the best ever? No. Those are stil my mom's. But these rank up there as a good contender. So, not including tip, my meal cost almost $50. But as a treat for myself - totally worth it.
Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The restaurant itself is bright and welcoming. The service is top notch. Everyone is friendly, helpful and " device with a smile". The highlight of the place is the food. Who wouldn't love kosher deli food! The sandwiches are pleasantly overstuffed. The corn beef is spot on. The chopped liver is heavenly. The coleslaw is crunchy and has the right amount of mayo. I haven't had a better piece of stuffed Deena in a long time. I advise you to stop in any time when you are in the mood for yummy Kosher deli food!
Oyyyy! So good! Dare I say that this Liebman's is superior to the Riverdale location? Did my usual, matzo ball soup, hotdog, and potato latkes. Serving sizes were much more than expected! Service is terrific, and this place has one of the cleanest dining areas I've ever seen!
So happy to have this restaurant not too far from me. You can order at the counter for takeout but they also have a small dine in area on the other side of the restaurant. My sister - we decided to dine in instead of doing takeout. ordered sandwiches (pastrami, brisket) and fries to share. They come with pickles and Cole slaw and everything was absolutely delicious. The pastrami was lean, the brisket was delightful - I had it on a roll which was so soft, the steak fries were also good. You get a good amount of meat on the sandwiches and of course they have the deli mustard as well. I even took home an order of chopped chicken liver which was good as well. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other items.
After my sons visit with his doctor, we headed to the newly opened long anticipated Liebman's Deli in Ardsley. As we walked in we were told to seat ourselves. We found an empty table by the window. This was mid afternoon. so there were a few empty tables The setup is unusual, the deli counter & service are in the main entrance space while the dinning area is in completely separate space. They are connected in the back with a passage, it's basically U shaped. Both spaces are bright, clean & inviting. The dinning area has some interesting artwork. After a long review of the menu we ordered pastrami/roast beef combo sandwich and pastrami/tongue combo sandwich. After a few minutes out came the slaw & pickles followed shortly with the sandwiches - huge. Oh we woofed them down, actually I only finished half of mine. The slaw & the pickles were awesome (and I make my own half sour pickles) The price is up there $$$ but it's worth. Can't compare them to either Katz's, Sarge's or Mothers unless they are side by side. Yes, go, the best in Westchester
Such an incredible Pastrami Reuben sandwich - oozing with flavor and dressing and freshness. Pickles great. Their rye bread is so fluffy and not too rye-tasting. The matzoh ball soup was the only three-star thing we had, as the matzoh balls didn't have a ton of flavor. But otherwise, totally coming back and grabbing another sandwich, their challah bread, and baked goods. 5 stars!!!
I am so glad Liebman's is open here. I loved my food, the service was friendly and fast, and the restaurant section is great, a wonderful reminder of simpler times. Matzo ball soup was delicious, not very salty, which is a problem at a lot of places. Enough sodium to kill a pony. Not here. Flavorful but not loaded with salt. I loved my corned beef and pastrami combo. Fries were thick and crispy. Pickles fresh. Folks, it's kosher. The food is going to cost more because of that. This is not your corner deli. This is a kosher deli and your meat is going to be of a higher quality. Think Pastrami Queen or 2nd Ave Deli. Support these delis, not many of them left. I'm happy Liebman's has expanded. I will be back!
The long-standing Liebman's in The BX has expanded to none other than Westchester. I could've gone to a kosher deli about 2 mins. away from me- but when my friend Cam E. visited Liebman's on Ashford Ave in Addyman Sq. in Ardsley, I wanted in too. Whatever this place was before Liebman's, the folks here must've given this space a significant facelift. You could just tell. In true city-'industrial' style though, Liebman's is hooked up with white subway tiles and a stainless steel ceiling pipe with a W.235th St sign reminding you of their iconic Bronx spot. This makes for a nice ménage à trois. To soften the industrial feel, mini white hexagon floor tiles have been used. Right off the bat, I ordered a Smoked Salmon sandwich ($19) with a sliver of cream cheese the way I always take it, a pastrami sandwich($22) for hubs since he was working from home, a chocolate egg cream($7) (would've loved a vanilla egg cr. instead), a pack of black and white cookies($7) and 2 chocolate rugelach pieces ($2.24) sold by the pound. The smoked salmon is nice and the bagel is something these folks aren't gonna play around with: it was pillowy- with a wonderful bite and was toasted for me- without me even letting them know I wanted it that way. Thank you. Hubs noticed at home that his pastrami sandwich had an open-face feel to it and he wondered if this is how they do. But then again, the pastrami sandwich photos on Yelp all have TWO slices of bread.¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Liebman's has a shining selection of veggies, knishes and a plethora of other kosher staples. This is already a destination spot in itself as a traditional Jewish deli still keeping to its roots- in Westchester.
