25 Stanhope Deli & Smoked Shop

Awesome deli! Definitely my go-​to choice for quick hot food in the area. They’re open super late, the place is always clean, and the guys are always friendly. We’ve eaten food here lots of times and the food is of reliably high quality (they’ve certainly dropped the ball a few times, but not enough to mar my appreciation for this fine business). Their meat is always fresh, seasoned and of superior quality to what one can usually expect from a deli. And of course the price is always right!
I would especially recommend the classic halal lamb or chicken, served over rice or in a gyro (super tasty — marinated better than any food cart, with more generous servings of meat); the burgers (big and juicy, cooked fresh to order); and the pancakes (huge and fluffy, sometimes made with fresh fruit inside). I would not especially recommend the «paninis» — they aren’t actually made with pressed slices of toast, but wrapped in some kind of flatbread that tends to get a little soggy with grease. They actually aren’t bad, I just could see how somebody who was expecting a conventional panini might not be pleased.
All in all, Stanhope Deli is a pretty awesome place. They’ve kept me full with lots of tasty food at reasonable prices –they were literally a life saver the week that our plumbing was messed up and we couldn’t cook. They have a decent selection of fancy snacks and beverages that caters to the tastes of the neighborhoods new young settlers, not to mention an excellent selection of rolling papers and tobacco. They used to deliver and be on grubhub, but aren’t anymore. I hope they can get another delivery guy soon. Thank you Stanhope Deli! Keep being great!

Sooooo good and really really great prices. $ 5.00 chicken over rice is amazingly delicious, prepared fresh, and huge. Open very late, really nice people working here, clean, bright, and accepts credit cards. Highly recommended.
