Lalu Deli Grocery

This has been a corner store in our neighborhood and we have been coming here for years. They have a great selection of beer and always have very friendly and helpful staff.

The deli is a bit gritty but its a working class joint. Lorenzo has been there for years. He is the best deli man great sandwiches.
Sunny Danny the boss and Mr B are all nice Indian chaps! They have a excellent selection of beers and they deliver from 10 30 to 1030 a night. Lastly shout our to Luis the flower man.

Got only what we needed, so not able to review this store's many options. Seemed reasonably priced for the area and with selection of items available.

There was this cat above the freezer area that kept crouching down like was going to jump down, but the staff said it never does during business hours... (Hmmmm, couldn't help but wonder where it uses the bathroom during the day??)

Food is really amazing and reasonable prices. They make really good sandwiches.
Deli is clean. They also have a salad bar where you can get yummy salads with your choice of toppings and dressings.

Fully stocked with beers. They have lots of variety of beers and seltzer. This is worth stopping deli in that area .

In the age of Covid, I think most of us can agree that CUSTOMER SERVICE and HOSPITALITY are pinnacle for any small business to survive in NYC right now. They endure constraints and regulation changes, and they are constantly pivoting to meet the needs of their consumers as well as local and state governments. LALU DELI has been my go-to through the pandemic when I want a craft beer delivery.
A while back, I received a delivery with beer that was out-of-code… and tasted like it. I left them 4 stars instead of 5 that day, explaining about the product- THE OWNER CALLED ME! and told me that he would tack on two of my favorite beers that I order regularly to my next order, and thanked me for my patronage, the kind review, and constructive feedback.
I told him this wasn’t necessary, and then I just appreciated his amazing CS of calling. Next delivery that I ordered was dropped without any extra beer …UNTIL 1 HOUR LATER! I received a delivery of 2 of my favorite local Northeast Craft Beers and a “thank you” from their delivery agent.

I will never stop telling me this story, or order from anywhere else - even though I’m in Harlem.
