“ I always wanted to try datz deli but their lines were too long at smorgasburg. Luckily I bumped into it on my way from getting bubble tea. I figure I get the original viral meal; beef patty mac and cheese coco bread. It was about $18 the service was ok the staff is fairly polite etc. besides patties datz deli sells a small selection of sea moss, drinks and snacks. Anyhow I liked the decor very artsy well out and bright . Ok so the party tasted slightly sweet I think I tasted tamarind. I asked for light Mac and cheese because I didn't want to be too full. The meal is actually good to share . It was tasty. It was super savory I might come back for the jerk chicken . ”

“ Delicious Delicious Delicious! A bus ride away from mid town. I think the owner took my order, very nice and friendly, i must say. I got the Kendra. Delicious! I already get my patties done like this , but to add mac n cheese is bussin' !! He gave me extra gravy.. and I was happy! The portions are big! I'll be back! ”

“ I had 24 hours in NYC and I had to visit Datz deli! Datz Deli stay popping up on Instagram! I visited the one on Clinton street. This one is very small. There is no seating area. I ordered the Hindu (jerk chicken) Mac patty. It is so good!! Flavorful! Easier to eat than I thought! Originally I said this will be something I will try 1X because it's over hyped. I was wrong!!! I will definitely visit again! Also the lady that assisted me was friendly, answered all my questions , and then thanked me for visiting. ”

“ The sandwich was pretty good albeit smaller than one would expect. A lil pricey for the size. The patty was of superior quality than than handful I got to try in my short NY trip. Very flakey just wish there was more of it in the sandwich. The oxtail sauce on the top didn't really add much to the flavor of the sandwich and kinda just made it more difficult to eat but I see the vision and a tweak to how it's served or consistency would go a long way. Also there was some hard bits of what we thought were bone shards in our sandwich. Service was fast and apathetic. ”

“ We got to try their famous oxtail sandwich. The sandwich I had braised oxtail with Mac and cheese within a beef patty and wrapped in coconut bread. This was a big sandwich and SO DELISH! The owners were also super nice, we got to speak to them for a bit and they recommend that we try the jerk chicken next time. The sandwich also came with a fried plantain. Overall it's a pricier sandwich but very unique and very flavorful. I would def come back to try the other sandwiches! ”

“ On a recent visit I got to try the very popular Mac Patty. ( Beef Pattie on coco bread w/ Mac & cheese and your choice of topping) A friend had been raving about them for months, so I knew we needed to pay them a visit. My 1st thought was this is going to be a lot but, I can confirm it is in the best way! I watched the owner while she made it and I think I drooled a bit. lol! I had the oxtail Mac Patty on this visit. Omg! It's so good. Forewarning you, this is not a clean eat! You're going to get messy or make a mess! It hit every note, Sweet, savory, and crunchy. For 17.00 it was worth every penny. While here I also got to meet the innovator and learned this is their second location. On my next visit I'm going to have to try a few more flavors! Check them out! ”

“ Black owned business that is thriving and pushing out this amazing concept of Macpatty Sando's. Slightly confusing upon arriving you cannot see the door but it's the left. Once walking in you feel all the Caribbean vibes. They have bevs and snacks available in addition to the main characters! Now to the food... I got the Curry Goat Macpatty. When ordering the lady did warn me of the small bones that may still be present in the curry. I suggest taking the sandwich off the menu. While curry goat is a staple, searching for small bones in a sandwich takes away from the experience. The sandwich overall was solid. The patty was flaky and flavorful. The curry was seasoned to perfection but the Mac was bland and lacked that ooey gooey cheese component. ”

“ This place was literally the highlight of my trip! After seeing a fellow foodies IG video about this place I just knew I had to go try it for myself and it did not disappoint. I had the jerk chicken mac patty and WOW. Tbh you have to give this place a try for yourself. The flavors and textures in the Mac patty are delicious and I've honestly never had anything like this; kudos to Josh for such a delicious masterpiece. Would have loved to try other ones, but this sandwich is pretty thick lol! There was quite a few options like oxtail, shrimp, jerk chicken, bbq chicken and more to add onto your Jamaican patty, mac and cheese, and coco bread delicacy! I'd suggest keeping an eye on their social media like IG because I swear I saw a nice pepperpot they were cooking up near the holidays too! Their new location in the city is so cute and small; literally order and go. Momma Datz is a sweetheart and was so kind. I definitely won't hesitate to comeback whenever I'm in the city! ”

“ Oh man where do I begin ! We have been waiting to try this spot the moment they opened ! Especially knowing about their new location , we made sure to include this in our plans to New York. And we dedicated a whole hour just for this spot to try their amazing macaroni beef patties. And just as we anticipated , great taste, presentation , and overall amazing! Jamaican patty stuffed with macaroni and jerk chicken cooked to perfection with cheesy greatness. Interior is a great presentation , smaller, but worth the wait and time. As soon as you walk in the door you get rushed with amazing carribean spices and vibes. Definitely have to make my way out there again when I visit New York! ”
