I've never tried Ben's Best, but have wanted too.  I've driven past it a number of times.  I've tried Ben's deli though.  Great matzo ball soup.  Also used to go to Katz's in the city every once in a while when I had a few friends that went to NYU.

Speaking of Australia, did you ever see the horror movie Wolf Creek?

My Wife hates that movie she can not watch it alone  :::D

It's one of my favorite horror films, albeit one of the few horror films I have seen in the last 5 or so years.  I liked Hostel too, but still haven't seen the second one.

As far as here in Detroit, I would probably say Jerusalem Pizza (and yes, every kosher pizza place today is called "Jerusalem Pizza," I don't know why).

Italian - Carmine's of Midtown
Greek - Nikita

Do you go to the Boulder Creek in College Point?
Beware the kitchen - I heard, awhile back, it wasn't so clean.  ;)
They have worked on their issues though.

Ben's Best in Rego Park, Queens.  The best kosher deli in New York!!
The place looks filthy though.
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!
Post by: Ari on January 16, 2008, 06:01:01 AM
Ben's Best is filthy?  I've never been inside.  My favorite foods are BBQ chicken or a good steak, over a good salad, so not very ethnic.  I also really like pretty spicy foods.  I try to eat kosher now, but growing up before I was trying I used to like Chinese and Italian best, probably chicken with cashews and chicken parmigana from what I remember.
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!
Post by: Joe Gutfeld on January 16, 2008, 05:39:41 PM
Ben's is one of the cleanest places to eat in.  It recieved many awards for it.
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!
Post by: Ari on January 16, 2008, 06:07:26 PM
Good, I'll still have to try it one of these days.  Is Ben's Best better than regular Ben's?
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!
Post by: Joe Gutfeld on January 17, 2008, 06:12:46 PM
Ben's Best is the best kosher deli in all of Queens.
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!
Post by: Tzvi Ben Roshel1 on January 17, 2008, 07:06:06 PM
I dont know if it counts but probably eating at home (the food that both my parents make) . But if that doesn't count then probably Hapisga (allthought I wasnt their for a while, or the Glatt Kosher Chinese on 108 street. Besides that the Shwarma on main street is good- Grill point - baby chicken Shish Kabob in a lafa.
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!

Hey, I know Hapisga.  Went there once with my Dad a long while back. O0

Are their any Glatt Kosher delis in Queens? I don't think Bens best is glatt.

There's got to be a bunch of them.  I don't see how on Earth Detroit could have two Glatt Kosher delis, but Queens could have fewer than that...

Tzvi, I know their are tons of Glatt Kosher places on Main Street but I don't know of any Glatt Kosher Deli there. Do you know any in particular?

Sorry for my ignorance - but what defines and qualifies as a deli? (a place where they sell sandwitches?)

Not really. A deli is sort of a old fashioned Restaraunt that sells traditional items like corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. I don't think I gave you a good deffinition but a Deli would be something like Essex on Coney in Flatbush or King David in the Five towns.
Title: Re: Favorite Restaurant!
Post by: DownwithIslam on January 17, 2008, 10:56:51 PM
Also deli's almost always have the word "Deli" as part of their name. Sort of like "Bens Deli." Hope this helps.
