The lady who took our order was nice; however she forgot the mustard on my sandwich. My sandwich was the perfect temp, bread wasn't tough, very soft. The turkey was delicious. I ordered a small should have gotten a medium. The corn beef egg-roll was delicious. I loved it with the Russian dressing! He wanted pastrami and corn beef mix and they were out of pastrami. Overall delicious. Ambiance was that of a take out place. Clean though and warm.

Where is the food truck location. I'm looking for truck? I was there this past weekend and said you all are close for construction? How long are you going to be closed?

If you find yourself cruising down Gratiot Ave and your stomach starts growling, hit up D Motown Deli! I just had a small Dinty Moore sandwich that was seriously tasty--like a warm hug for your taste buds. The crab salad? So flavorful it could have its own fan club! And let's not forget the cake--it was the perfect sweet ending to my meal. The staff here are super friendly and fast, making you feel right at home. Plus, the place is clean and has a chill vibe that makes you want to hang out. So if you're looking for some delicious comfort food in a laid-back spot, D Motown Deli is where it's at! Your belly will thank you!

I live in the land of Jewish Delis (West Bloomfield) and only heard about the Motown Deli on TikTok. The food looked so good, I had to try it. It is a bit of a fortress -- bullet proof glass between the workers and the patrons. However, ordering was very easy. I went specifically for the Pastrami and ordered an XL. It was the best Pastrami sandwich I've ever had. It was more shaved than sliced and incredibly tender and moist. It's too messy to eat in the car, but I ate 1/2 while I was driving anyway. I'd give the sandwich a 9 out of 10. They screwed up my dessert order but I was too full to eat It anyway. Brave the drive and get a pastrami sandwich. You will be very glad you did. Plus, it's good to support a downtown restaurant.

The corned beef and pastrami sandwiches are simply amazing. I drive from Southfield just to get their sandwiches.

I've seen so many IG posts for this place that I had to try it when I was in Detroit! My review is based on their corned beef version as they ran out of pastrami. My heart broke. No pastrami left?!? I came from California for a visit! It's their most popular meat obviously so I just have to come earlier if there is a next time. The employee was super nice and did apologize. They said they would have more in the morning. Unfortunately, I was flying home before they opened. Service was an A I ordered an XL Humdinger and a corned beef eggroll. The eggroll was exactly what it was named. I wish there was cheese in it for a good factor. The sauce I was given did help enhance the flavor. B- The Humdinger comes with Cole Slaw inside the sandwich, Russian dressing, and Swiss cheese. The XL portion is the biggest one listed on the menu, but after I had already ordered, one of the employees mentioned to another customer of a 2XL and 3XL version! The 3XL runs about $30. The meat was super tender. A- I opted for the onion roll as it is the most popular way. The bread was soft as a pillow and complimented the sandwich well. A+ Overall, I'd love to come back for a 3XL pastrami! I don't know if it lived up to its hype, but it was definitely my favorite place that I ate while in Detroit. Thank you D Motown Deli for making my experience a great one!

This is great! This is better than Bread Basket, Lou's Mr Corned Beef and all the coneys! The corned beef is flavorful, tender and doesn't have that little piece of fat you always get from other places. I ALWAYS get the XL on onion roll. The service is okay. The girl that takes your order is nice. Now we know the man/owner can be a bit much on social Media sometimes. A bit confusing for me lol but that's not "our fight". Unfortunately they close super early, so if you work days you'll probably never get to experience this. They close at 6. Of course lunch time is super busy. It's very small inside, so be mindful of that! It's takeout only! I've had a piece of pie from here and it was good too, nice big piece. The koolaid could be a little sweeter imo. Try it. You'll like it!

Made a video review on this place, but decided to do a Yelp after my second visit. This place is my new go to for corned beef! They have the best! No fat, flavorful, fresh and HUGE as you can see in the pic. Can't wait to go back

Stopped by D Motown Deli after work yesterday. I hadn't been there in at least ten years. I went by because I saw a post of their IG page. The IG posts look amazing with giant juicy sandwiches. I'll get to what I thought of the food in a sec. What's exemplary is the staff, particularly the one at the counter how served me. I hate that I didn't ask his name, but it was clear that he obviously serves in a managerial capacity. He handled a major flow of customers and did not skimp on the integrity of the service he gave. He was friendly and super efficient. There is a good amount of food choices on the menu, all seemed to be priced reasonably. They offer a variety of sandwiches, egg rolls, desserts and side dishes. I ordered the humdinger, with corned beef, swiss and coleslaw. It was just ok to me. Mind you, I am a bit of a connoisseur of corned beef. I grew up on it and have eaten sandwiches at delis all of my life. I also ordered deviled eggs and potato salad. The eggs were good, but the potato salad - not so much. I didn't care for the flavor and the potatoes were hard. It was inedible. Nevertheless, I will return if I am in the area. The steady flow of customers and their many years of being in business lets me know that this was just an "off day".
