David's Brisket House Brooklyn Reviews
Meat quality, taste and texture is grade A! Not many halal spots serve these old school deli sandwiches. I would ask for less mustard if you’re eating with pickles so it’s not too over-bearing :)
Visited on a Friday night in the winter, was not very busy. The food however was amazing. Had the pastrami sandwich, Reuben and brisket cheesesteak. Really happy tried in that order but have to say for me the Reuben stole the show with the condiments and cheese as well as toasted bread. The cheesesteak was a little spicier but also a bit salty , still very good but had we started with that could not have finished it all. Will be back!
I don't usually comment on food, but this time I made an exception. The pastrami, corned beef, and brisket are delicious. The tender texture is perfect. I bought a three-meat sandwich and it was the best decision I've ever made. I hope they continue like this, and I'll be back very soon. Thank you, thank you very much. I feel great having tried such a delicious sandwich. The price is reasonable, better than Katz's
100% HALAL, and absolutely worth trying! I ordered both the corned beef and the pastrami sandwich. The corned beef was tasty, but the pastrami was truly AMAZING. It was bursting with flavor, had the perfect amount of fat, and was so tender. Fries were solid, too! I’ll definitely be back soon.
David’s Brisket House in Brooklyn is one of those timeless New York gems where tradition, flavor, and community meet over a single perfect bite. From the outside, it looks like the kind of old-school spot you could easily walk past until the smell of smoked meat pulls you in. Inside, the atmosphere is simple and unpretentious, but what comes out of that kitchen is pure craftsmanship. The brisket is tender, smoky, and rich, with just the right amount of fat melting into each slice. Piled high on rye bread and served with a side of nostalgia, every sandwich feels like a piece of New York history. What sets David’s Brisket House apart is the legacy behind it a Muslim-owned Jewish deli that has been perfecting this art for decades. It’s a story of cultures blending beautifully through food, and you can taste that harmony in every bite. Whether you go for the classic pastrami, corned beef, or the signature brisket, the flavors are deep, balanced, and completely addictive. Each sandwich comes stacked to perfection, juicy and smoky, with that old-school deli charm you can’t fake. There’s something special about how the team treats you too no rush, no gimmicks, just genuine hospitality. It’s the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name and newcomers are made to feel like family. Every visit feels familiar, comforting, and real. In a city overflowing with trendy new restaurants, David’s Brisket House remains a true New York institution humble, soulful, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for the best brisket sandwich in NYC, this is it. A taste of Brooklyn’s history, served warm between two slices of rye.
Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. David’s Brisket House in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is a real piece of NYC food history. The shop has been around for more than 50 years and still serves some of the best sandwiches in the city. We ordered the famous “3 The Hard Way” to try all three classics: pastrami, brisket, and corned beef. Each one was stacked high on rye, and the flavors were incredible. The brisket had that perfect smoky edge, and the pastrami was full of spice and tenderness. You can feel the legacy in every bite. It’s casual, local, and full of character. If you want an authentic deli experience in Brooklyn, this is the spot to visit.
David’s Brisket House is a Brooklyn gem known for their old school stacked deli sandwiches that are as hearty as they are satisfying. Their must order classics, pastrami, reuben, and of course their brisket, are tender and flavorful while melting in your mouth with every bite. The pastrami delivers a perfect smoky savory punch while the Reuben balances tangy sauerkraut with melted cheese and that slow-cooked brisket is screaming juicy. Service is friendly and efficient which makes you feel right at home while keeping things moving smoothly. With their generous portions, fair prices, and a no-frills atmosphere, David’s Brisket House keeps the focus on what a true New York City deli has to offer.
Great quick delicious local lunch spot. Has been an institution in this neighborhood for over 60 years and is slinging out award-winning brisket, pastrami and corned beef sandwiches along with an array of other Jewish deli specialties Absolute must try Spot for lunch if you’re in this area. Quick and easy love the old-school deli feel I’m a huge fan of that.

Truly excellent sandwiches in a basic, utilitarian space that harks back to the neighborhood's pre-gentrification vibe. You need to decide for yourself whether it worth $23+ (including tax/ small tip and cc fees) for a sandwich that weighs in just a shade under 5 ounces including bread. It's a basic counter service place with a few chairs that produces a modest selection of truly amazing sandwiches. They prepare the brisket cut of beef in several ways, that they call Pastrami (smoked), Corned Beef (cured and poached), and Brisket that I think is simply roasted. The philosophy is find something that you do exceedingly well, and focus on that. They are worth a trip across town, it really is that good. Why not 5 stars? The service is friendly, and prompt, but there isn't much service, and the atmosphere is clean, but kind of "dumpy", all of which works for that stretch of Nostrand, but doesn't really reach 5-stars in my book.
Halal brisket spot in brooklyn. Prices are basically the same as Katz deli, so on the PRICEY side. Pastrami was good, fries & pickles were good too. Nice old school diner vibe and service was great. Lunch prices seem really good. They do have 3 sizes of pastrami sandwiches so you don't really have to spend almost $30 for a sandwich but an authentic pastrami sandwich would be the XL.
Very decent brisket sandwich, not too salty nor wet and plenty of meat flavor. Quick and efficient service. Could've had more meat considering the price.

Overpriced for the quality of food. The rye bread tasted like sourdough. Service was good. But the taste was mediocre

Came after seeing a tic tok video…… I gave a a 4 and my family gave a 2…. The Russian dressing was not good at all. The good thing is that they have a bathroom that was pretty clean ….. oh I was hoping that they had an area to establish the pray but nah, wishful thinking. I think I’ll stick with Katz over David’s going forward . Good thing we didn’t take the train because we would’ve been angry
