Then old Scrimshaw Sal, the crusty old Eskimo Gal tells me if I give her a ride down to the Muckluck-R-Us specialty store in Newark she'd spot for lunch. I thought about it for awhile, and was just about to say no...then she popped out...At The Ultimate Deli Café...Man-O-Man I couldn't say yes fast enough! The sandwiches were so Amazing I had two!

First time experience. We wanted a quick meal. We were surprised why it was not very busy. The posted menu is busy and some pricing is confusing. The online version is more clear regarding pricing. The food was good. Very homey and well executed. Service was welcoming and pleasant. I will return to try other menu items. A nice family run business and worth checking out.

My sister and I wanted to try a new cafe and this place looked delicious and had high reviews, great atmosphere, they were friendly. They have a great variety and taste was great. We had the ultimate philly cheese steak sandwich, #P1 ultimate "panini," mango sunrise smoothie, strawberry ice tea, jalapeno poppers, and 2 bags of chips Cons: 1. Their self order screens needs some changing, as ordering the #C1 general meal and ordering the panini through that it asked if toasted and they CHARGE $0.50 if you want your sandwich toasted and if I wanted the bread for the panini($1), which I didn't add so the worker had to clarify, as the panini sandwich shouldn't have needed all those requests 2.Their "paninis" are not paninis they are just sandwiches, they don't use a press and they said they just toast it in the oven(which it still wasn't since it was cold and I just let it go) 3. it's hard to figure out prices until you order for most of the menu, for two we spent over $50 which is a lot for a cafe(we each got a sandwich, chips, drink) and we were definitely surprised about how expensive. I do understand halal costs more but they need prices next to each item to be clear. as if I wanted a sandwich I would have gotten one with everything in it and not the "panini"

Best Crispy Chicken Sandwich EVER! Okay, so I just had to share my experience at this place. It was SO good! I got the #23 Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and it was, like, the best crispy chicken sandwich I've ever had. So crunchy and flavorful! And the Philly Cheesesteak? To die for! Cheesy, beefy goodness. The staff was super cool too. They were so nice and made sure we were happy. Plus, the place itself is really chill and has a great vibe. If you're looking for a place to grab some awesome food and just hang out, this is it! Trust me, you gotta try it!

This place was the spot!! Delicious halal sandwiches, and great service. We tried the corn beef on rye, and pastrami on wheat. Also very clean!! Will definitely be visiting again when I’m in the area:)

If you're looking for a spot that combines quality halal meats, delicious sandwiches, top-notch coffee, and genuinely great service — this deli is a must-visit. Every sandwich is made fresh to order, with generous portions and flavorful ingredients that really stand out. The halal meats are perfectly seasoned and cooked, making each bite both satisfying and guilt-free. Whether you're grabbing a classic roast beef, a spicy chicken melt, or a veggie option, there’s something for everyone. The coffee is just as impressive — smooth, rich, and expertly brewed. It's clear they put real care into both their beans and their brewing. On top of the great food and drinks, the service is consistently friendly and efficient. The staff are welcoming, quick to offer recommendations, and go out of their way to make sure you’re happy with your order. This place has become a regular stop for me, and I can’t recommend it enough. Fresh, flavorful, and 100% halal — it’s everything you want in a neighborhood deli.

We've had the turkey pesto panini. It was great. Crispy chicken with ultimate sauce was good. My wife likes the smashed cheese steak. Fries had masala on them so I didn't love them. I actually enjoyed the food a lot. The staff is excellent, though. Hardworking and considerate. I hope they maintain that.
