About Us

Our Story

Born from a love of New York’s rich deli history and the power of imagination, Fantasy Deli was created with one simple goal: to elevate the deli experience to something extraordinary. Here, we believe that food should transport you to a new world—one filled with flavor, fun, and a touch of fantasy.

Our founders, longtime NYC residents and food enthusiasts, wanted to reimagine the beloved New York deli, keeping the best of the classics but adding unique twists and inventive flavors. With a nod to the city’s diverse culinary influences, Fantasy Deli is a place where anything is possible—so come hungry and let us take you on a flavor adventure!

Our Menu

Signature Sandwiches

At Fantasy Deli, every sandwich is a masterpiece. Whether you’re craving the time-honored classics or looking for something a little more adventurous, we’ve got something for everyone. All of our sandwiches are made with premium, locally-sourced ingredients and served on freshly baked bread.

The Big Apple Brisket
A tender, slow-cooked brisket piled high with caramelized onions, melted Swiss, and tangy mustard on a toasted rye. It’s as classic as it gets, with a Fantasy twist!

The Fantasy Reuben
An upgrade on the classic Reuben, featuring house-cured corned beef, crunchy sauerkraut, melted Gruyère, and our homemade Russian dressing on marble rye. You won’t believe how good this is.

The Gotham Veggie Deluxe
For our plant-based friends, we’ve created a sandwich that’s almost too good to be true. Grilled portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on a toasted baguette. It’s the taste of New York… without the meat.

The Magic Matzo Ball Soup
A must-try, especially on a cold NYC day. Our matzo ball soup is rich, flavorful, and comforting, with plump matzo balls that practically melt in your mouth.

Sides & Sweets

No deli experience is complete without the sides. We offer a variety of mouth-watering sides to pair with your meal, including:

• Homemade Pickles
  Crunchy, tangy, and packed with flavor. Our house-made dill pickles are the perfect complement to any sandwich.

• Latkes
  Crispy, golden, and served with sour cream and apple sauce. These potato pancakes are the stuff of legend.

• Sweet Potato Fries
  A delicious twist on the classic fries, crisped to perfection and served with a honey mustard dipping sauce.

And don’t forget to save room for dessert! We serve classic New York cheesecake, rich and velvety, or try our indulgent chocolate babka for something extra sweet.
