The lamb was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor, complementing the fragrant rice beautifully. The dish was served with fresh vegetables and a drizzle of creamy sauce that added a richness. It's a satisfying and comforting meal that I highly recommend to anyone craving something hearty and delicious. Overall, a standout dish that deserves five stars!

I saw that NYC Famous Deli is rated as #2 favorite restaurant in El Paso so we decided to order some food for pickup from this place. We ordered the Turkey Club Wrap, Chicken Shawarma, and Lamb Over Rice. The Wrap was super delicious and full of flavor. The Shawarma had plenty of chicken and even fries on the inside. I wish the fries were on the side and the sandwich contained more garlic sauce as well as some veggies like cabbage, tomato or pickle. I think that would really hit the spot! Last but not least, the plate of the Lamb Over Rice was absolute bomb! The sauces were amazing and the rice was so tasty. Veggies were great too, as something to know beforehand - the lamb meat is grounded but that does not take away from the flavor! It's definitely a go to dish. Highly recommended spot, great prices for the quality of the food!

First time try and I don't regret it one bit. Lamb is so flavorful and tender, rice is cooked on point. The small serving portion got me full as well. The chopped cheese was soo warm and yummy. Would definitely order again.

Fantastic. My favorite place to eat every single time I struggle with my appetite. Lamb Gyro is my go to. Chili is super spicy if you're sensitive to that. Good portions and fresh food always. Great service. 10/10

I always get the Lamb Over Rice and it's so good everytime. This time was different. The meat wasn't cubed and as generous as usual. It was chopped which gave it a weird texture; it even tasted different. On top of that, there was way more rice and very little meat. This is not the usual or norm for this dish. I was a little disappointed by these changes. Hopefully it was just an off night.
