Finally tried this place and wish I became a customer sooner. The pastrami was unbelievably delicious and perfect in every way you can think of. Favor, temperature, texture, color, juices…I’m salivating from thinking about it. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a hearty sample while they made my order. The portions are generous and worth the $23 price. I will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Oh my sweet heaven on earth 🤤 this place is 100% worth the drive from where ever you are located. The pastrami was incredibly juicy, tender and flavorful. They give you meat samples while you wait and the wait was not long at all, maybe 5 minutes from walking in to getting served. We got two pastrami Rueben’s with a side of pickles (half sour, YUM) and onion rings. The sandwich was bigger than my mouth and was a bit messy but the messier the sandwich, the tastier. Prices were great at $17.95 per sandwich (small) plus $1 for the side of pickles. I cannot wait to return to this excellent food joint. Thank you for existing. Update: Just came for the 2nd time and got a large pastrami Rueben ($37.95 before tax) and would recommend doing 2 smalls since that was way easier to eat. I took half th

This was our first time visiting Pastrami Bistro in Garfield, and we were absolutely blown away by both the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. The process is really unique: you walk in and place your order directly with the person preparing it, and while you wait, they slice a few pieces of pastrami or brisket (depending on what you order) for you to taste. Once your order is ready, everything is packed neatly in a bag, and you head over to the register to pay. We ordered Philly cheesesteak, Reuben pastrami, brisket, pastrami, and two French fries, all for takeout. Every single item was delicious, flavorful, and prepared with care. You can really tell they put passion into their work. There’s also a dine-in option, but for us, the takeout process was quick, easy, and

One of the best pastrami joints in NJ. The pastrami itself is GREAT. I wish the rye had a bit more structural integrity because it will begin to fall apart midway through. But great sandwich regardless.

Fam found this place off a YouTube video and it was a definitely a great call. We got the pastrami sandwich and a brisket sandwich and they give a bit of each for you to try as they make it. The sandwiches also come with pickles. The pastrami is incredibly good, very juicy and fatty. The brisket was also good but drier by comparison, and I found myself wanting a bbq sauce for it (which I don’t think they have but I didn’t ask). I’m glad I tried it but next time I’m just going for the pastrami. The sandwiches are large - with my older appetite I probably would’ve killed one on my own but we all eat a bit less now and are saving the other halves to eat later, which is perfect. They take their time making the sandwiches so not ideal if you’re in a rush but the service was great. Already hig
