This New NYC Deli Spot, Deli Boyz, Just Opened in the Bronx

Deli Boyz just opened in the Bronx, offering the first 10 bowls free today and serving bold West African flavors like lamb suya, jollof rice, and jibi in a neighborhood deli setting.

After a successful run in Harlem, Deli Boyz decided it was time to bring the flavor to the Bronx, landing on 288 E Burnside Ave, Bronx, NY 10457. OnCrave Food stopped by to try the lamb chops CUTTING-BOARD-CARNITAS-CHOP— and they did not disappoint. The aroma alone pulls you in, and the flavor is something people have traveled all the way to Harlem for.

Kapa told OnCrave Food that they specialize in halal meat, and that commitment shows in every dish.
