They are off 38st going towards the west side. Sitting on the corner, you can't miss it. I've had the NY Deli out east and it's good but something about it is heavy on my stomach at both locations. I ordered the chipotle grilled chicken wrap but they were out of grilled chicken. It must be a popular item because they had a phone order who wanted the exact same thing lol Gotta keep the grilled chicken in stock NYGD! Instead, I got the crispy chicken wrap which came w/ lettuce, tomato, Mayo and Muenster cheese. I added onion. It was good but not was I had a taste for. I only could finish half due to the heaviness and my stomach gurgling through. I got potato wedges as my side, so good. With a 7up tropical, which I never had or seen but was delish. The service was great. While waiting, a phone order came in before I made it to the counter, as I was waiting to out in my order, the other gentlemen swooped in and took my order. Quick service. The staff prepped as they went along. The inside is a bodega, which is what they are going for. Boxes always out for stocking purposes and only standing room cause you won't be there long. I don't think I would go again because of ingredients used don't work for me but PLEASE go try them for yourself!

A taste of the bodega comes to the Nap! The best chopped cheese you're gonna find in town! Get the seasoned waffle fries and one of the unique selection of beverages! Don't sleep on that cherry limeade slice!

The food is 10/10. They make it fresh, so it's hot when you get it and not sitting in a warmer. This is going to be my new favorite breakfast sandwich spot! I've actually been wanting to try this place for so long but was hesitant because of the Boar's Head recall last year. Definitely don't let that stop you from trying this place!!! The food is safe to eat, the place is clean, and they have signage posted addressing the recall and their commitment to food safety. The employees were very patient, nice, and helpful. I can see why this place has great reviews! definitely will be back!

Ordered lunch here today with my colleagues for the first time. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak wrap combo. My meal was made cook to order. My meal was delicious. It was busy, but meals were prepared timely. I will definitely return and recommend to others.

Cashiers was taking orders. He was super friendly, helpful and patient. Food was great. I had a lemon chicken wrap and husband had a pastrami. They both were very good and were served warm.

Greeted when I walked in which was awesome. Gave me time to look at the menu and didn't rush me. Very good customer service. Very clean inside and all the food areas near and everything covered. Looks terrific! Perfect anytime but platters o only during breakfast hours. there is a ramp for access and marked handicap spots in front. The door opens out with no automation, so I'm not sure if that's accessible. There is definitely no eat in. This is definitely take away inside. You can also find chips some specialty water ice cream to purchase and some candy so it's kind of a little bit like a convenience store. I ordered the New Yorker, which is hot pastrami with Swiss cheese and mustard. I upgraded to the tots and you get a can of soda as well. The sandwich was hot and delicious. It was on a roll and it had melted cheese and the meat was slightly spicy. Yum reminds me when I lived in New Jersey. I will definitely be back.

I live a couple of blocks from New York deli and was so glad to see it open. I've gotten Carrie out sandwiches several times and have had consistently good experiences each time. A family favorite is the chopped cheese. Each time we've gone, there have been at least a couple of other customers at the deli. Our weight has never been longer than 10 minutes, even on busy days. My kids love, but there is a wide selection of beverages and chips more so than any other deli they've been to in Indy. They get a thrill out of trying something new each time. Personally, I'm glad to see that there are increasingly more options with slightly less sugar (example: flavored core water). That said, this is not necessarily a place to go if you're looking for a highly nutritious meal. Though, the veggies on the sandwiches I've always been fresh and there is a lot of variety regarding meat and cheeses. The gentlemen working the register as always kind and very efficient when taking our order.

First time stopping in and have to say I'm a fan and will be back!!! It's a carry out only joint, but who cares. We ordered the chopped cheese and Philly. Both were prepared fresh and in front of us. I like going to a place where I can see not only the food storage but also into the kitchen. The place was clean and the two people working were friendly. I got the chopped cheese with mustard instead of ketchup and it was delicious! My mom got the Philly cheese and loved it! She was finished before me! My new go to sandwich shop! Can't wait to come back and try the bagel egg n cheese and more sandwiches but gotta say, going to be hard to not get the chopped cheese again!

I've been seeing this spot pop up on Yelp and I knew I needed to try it! So glad I finally did!! I got the Chopped Cheese and my husband got the Tavern Fire. Both were !! The sandwiches are large and we are saving the other half for a snack later or lunch tomorrow. I don't imagine they'll last until tomorrow because we are already craving more. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other sandwiches. Tons of chips and sodas to pick from as well as a lot of snacks. Good amount of parking in their lot. Can't wait to go back!
