Finally tried this place and wish I became a customer sooner. The pastrami was unbelievably delicious and perfect in every way you can think of. Favor, temperature, texture, color, juices…I’m salivating from thinking about it. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a hearty sample while they made my order. The portions are generous and worth the $23 price. I will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Wowowow!!!!! Plentiful Pastrami – so tender, flavorful and not fatty on rockland bakery rye bread, real sauerkraut, n delicious dressing for the reuben ( 19). Soooo delicious. Huge. Onion rings to die for. French fries delicious. Chef cutting pastrami so nice gave me some tender, delicious pastrami to try even before ordering. Sweet, clean place. Will visit often.

Oh my sweet heaven on earth this place is 100% worth the drive from where ever you are located. The pastrami was incredibly juicy, tender and flavorful. They give you meat samples while you wait and the wait was not long at all, maybe 5 minutes from walking in to getting served. We got two pastrami Rueben’s with a side of pickles (half sour, YUM) and onion rings. The sandwich was bigger than my mouth and was a bit messy but the messier the sandwich, the tastier. Prices were great at $17.95 per sandwich (small) plus $1 for the side of pickles. I cannot wait to return to this excellent food joint. Thank you for existing.
Update: Just came for the 2nd time and got a large pastrami Rueben ($37.95 before tax) and would recommend doing 2 smalls since that was way easier to eat. I took half the pastrami off the large and brought it home!

This was our first time visiting Pastrami Bistro in Garfield, and we were absolutely blown away by both the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. The process is really unique: you walk in and place your order directly with the person preparing it, and while you wait, they slice a few pieces of pastrami or brisket (depending on what you order) for you to taste. Once your order is ready, everything is packed neatly in a bag, and you head over to the register to pay.
We ordered Philly cheesesteak, Reuben pastrami, brisket, pastrami, and two French fries, all for takeout. Every single item was delicious, flavorful, and prepared with care. You can really tell they put passion into their work.
There’s also a dine-in option, but for us, the takeout process was quick, easy, and very enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Wishing the team lots of success—just keep up the smiles, the great service, and the amazing food!

One of the best pastrami joints in NJ. The pastrami itself is GREAT. I wish the rye had a bit more structural integrity because it will begin to fall apart midway through. But great sandwich regardless.

Fam found this place off a YouTube video and it was a definitely a great call. We got the pastrami sandwich and a brisket sandwich and they give a bit of each for you to try as they make it. The sandwiches also come with pickles.
The pastrami is incredibly good, very juicy and fatty. The brisket was also good but drier by comparison, and I found myself wanting a bbq sauce for it (which I don’t think they have but I didn’t ask). I’m glad I tried it but next time I’m just going for the pastrami. The sandwiches are large – with my older appetite I probably would’ve killed one on my own but we all eat a bit less now and are saving the other halves to eat later, which is perfect.
They take their time making the sandwiches so not ideal if you’re in a rush but the service was great. Already highlighted this place to friends and they’re excited to try it.

Great Pastrami sandwich. If definitely rivals and can go toe to toe with the Big place on Houston Street in NYC for almost half the price. The French fries can use a little salt, but I will definitely return.

Come with your appetites strong and your mouths watering.
My husband and I were lucky enough to drop in while there was a lull in service, which meant we got time to pore over the menu before stepping up to the ordering counter. The sight that greets you at said counter is enough to whet your appetite. Behind a plexiglass window, there are hot pans filled with fresh, uncut pastrami and knife-wielding men expertly slicing up those meat heaps into portions. They have a lovely custom of serving up some sample portions on a plate for you to taste as they prepare your order.
My husband ordered the pastrami burger thinking it would just be a pastrami sandwich with added lettuce and tomatoes. We didn’t realize this was a behemoth of a meal, complete with a burger patty, caramelized onions, and healthy schmears of house-made Russian dressing and whole grain mustard. Oh, and freshly fried steak fries on the side. It was truly a meal to behold, as every single pair of eyes in the restaurant were glued to that plate as we passed by them to find a seat. The burger patty itself was just fine (and perhaps a little dry), but when topped with pastrami and toppings, this burger felt like the pinnacle of pastrami decadence. It seems trifling to compliment the side of fries, but these, too, were exactly the way I like my fries – perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and potatoey on the inside.
My corned beef sandwich was also a hit. I’m forever trying to learn the difference between corned beef and pastrami, and the guy at the front was nice enough to give us samples of each. While both were remarkable for their tenderness, I found the corned beef slightly less salty and mellow-flavored than the pastrami. They piled an almost comical amount of slices onto my bread (a la Katz, if you’ve ever been), so much that I felt well sated before I even consumed a quarter of my sandwich.
If anything fell slightly short for us, the cole slaw felt a little too slick and thick with mayonnaise. But that’s hardly a dig when they’re serving up sky-high cured meat sandwiches that are this hot, tender, and satisfying.
The workers here are SO hardworking. The guys behind the counter know what they’re doing and just a few minutes at the counter made it clear how efficient things are in the kitchen. The space inside the restaurant is tight, especially when there’s a line. During our meal, we watched the line grow until it was out the door, which left little room to navigate if we ended up needing a takeout box or extra sauce. There are tables on one side and larger booths on the other, and even a few tables outside if things get too crazy inside.

The best place of pastrami and brisket I have tried in my life. Multiples combinations of brisket, corned beef, pastrami, cheeses and bread to chose for o to create. Great attention and you can try every kind of meat before make your selection. Excellent choice for meat lovers in New Jersey.

First time customer here and I must say, I am a fan now! Fresh and great tasting slices of meat! I ordered a pastrami sandwich and sloppy joe. Great value for money, huge servings. I got free taste of the meats while they prepare my sandwiches! I will definitely come back for more! Highly recommended pastrami spot to fulfill your cravings!
