I have been going to this deli for a few months ever since I started working in the area and it is my main go-​to place for the variety, tastiness and pricing of dishes, as well as the helpfulness and friendly nature of the owner (Jimmy) and staff (Ali, Saif, Mujahadith (sic) and one other person whose name I don’t know) .
This area can be a dead zone when it comes to getting a choice of lunch items fast and economically. I accidentally discovered this place because it had a good store front presence. Once I went inside I was very pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and well organized nature of this establishment. This was a good sign for me. It is clear the owner Jimmy takes pride in his establishment and respects his customers. I am a very finicky eater when it comes to food establishments and this place fits the bill for me in this category.
There are a few items that are my favorites 1) the Grilled Chicken Cutlet, 2) Halal Chicken/​Lamb/​Rice, 3) Homemade New England Clam Chowder w/​Shrimp and 4) Cream of Tomato Soup. Of note, the Chicken Cutlet is seasoned at the deli which accounts for its outstanding flavor and taste compared to the freeze dried variety you will find at other places. I’m not a big tomato soup fan, but I quickly became a fan of Jimmy’s homemade Cream of Tomato Soup. He gave me a sample to taste and I quickly added it to my recurring items to get. Same goes for the NE Clam Chowder with a twist of potatoes, corn and succulent tiny shrimps. Both soups warmed me to my bones for the past few cold weeks we have had here. The Halal food is tasty and plentiful. I only usually only eat half of it. These items are inexpensive and are all under $ 6 and include a bottle of water or can of soda. At other Manhattan places these items would clearly cost you closer to $ 10.
The owner Jimmy is a very friendly guy and definitely aims to please his customers. He appears be constantly experimenting and creating fresh new menu items. If there is one thing I can think of that makes LoHo Deli’s food tasty, it’s clear that keeping things fresh and simple is Jimmy’s recipe for success.
Highly recommended…

Not a dine in deli. A convenient way to get delicious and affordable hot breakfast and lunches on the go. I love their gyro’s, as well as their flexibility with catering to their customers preferences. They have a great selection of healthy snacks! The owner is super friendly, courteous and caters to what his customers enjoy.

Great job Jimmy and staff! Everything is great… the food is tasty, the restaurant is clean, and the fresh soup they make daily is a great thing especially now… stop by and try some! They will even let you sample it!

The best deli in the neighborhood. Great people and great food. Always clean, prompt and delicious. A wide variety of choices including salads, sandwiches and soup. I stop in almost every day for tea or lunch and always leave smiling.

The food is good and the staff is really friendly.
This is my go to deli — no complaints at all!

The man behind the deli counter was super friendly and made sure that «I had the best omelette ever.» I have to say he did not disappoint. The people who work here are always super nice and they had good deli options. The chicken over rice is very yummy and they are always happy to customize your order.
It is not a sit down deli, more for food on the go or pick up.

Every New Yorker has their go-​to bodega, and well, this is the one I frequent because of the proximity of it to my work and home.
They carry a wide selection of everything. So, if at 6am, you need a bottle of iced coffee, you can find it here. Or it is 3am, and you need drunk food, they will happily make you a sandwich to sop up the alcohol. Wide selection of snacks, including Pita Chips, seaweed snacks, lentil chips, popcorn, and all your favorite gourmet snacks!
This deli is a bit high end as compared to the bodega right across the street, so be prepared to drop a pretty penny for the convenience and high end items they carry here.
The daytime cashier is always friendly to me, he is originally from Yemen and studied in China, so he’s always practicing Chinese with me and well I am always trying to practice my Arabic with him. I love how New York brings us all together to interact.
So glad to have a little slice of convenience here!
