Albaz / Deli & Convenience

Been going here since high school when we called it hungry habib’s (i dont think that was ever really the name in retrospect smh). Although now I use it more for a late night clutch meal after a long night of partying instead of for a school lunch hero it’s just as good. Especially those warm hero’s where they cook the meat as you order. Soooo delicious.

I had a cheeseburger. I enjoyed it. Yummy runny cheese, meaty meat, soft bread. Not bad. The sweet potato fries were soft though, not crunchy.

If you’re not familiar with this particular deli great food may pass you by! Great greasy food that is. Before dialysis tues., thur, & sat. About 5am I run in & order eggs on whole wheat & occasionally eggs & beef bacon on whole wheat toast. I’ve seen a wide variety of dishes over the past year & they look tasty! They don’t sell pork & I happen to love that because I don’t eat pork!
Initially it appears like a simple grocery store but when you take a walk to the back you see a counter with a few stools & hopefully you’ll see Patrick, a South American man, He’s the cook. If Patrick is not behind the counter run for your life! I mean it! Because That arab looking guy cannot make a simple egg sandwich & forget about preparing a cup of coffee! Wow!
Cash only! But if I recall correctly there is a ATM in the store. It won’t make the Top 10 healthiest places to eat list but it’s extremely affordable! So if your ever around & in the mood for Low-​cost greasy food this is the place!

3AM, BAM!!! You’re drunk off your ass and need grease because it’s a Tuesday and you got to wake up for work in 4 hours! And for some reason friends, strangers and the bartender bought you shot after shot of jaeger and hennessy … STAGGER TO ALBAZ! Also jaeger, seriously? That’s gross.
In the back of the Deli right outside the 7^th Ave B/​Q stop on Flatbush is a grill, a deep fryer, and Sonny. Grab a seat at the counter and ask for a cheeseburger with FRIED onions (very important) on top, and a side of fired onion rings. Or maybe a philly cheesesteak, or sausage, or whatever pile o’ grease you want.
If all the grease is too much, grab a beer out of the cooler behind you and pretend you don’t see the No Drinking sign.
