“ Honestly one of the best nova orders Ive ever had. The whitefish salad and chopped liver equally as delicious. Great staff and service. Will definitely be a regular. ”
“ Updated Review I returned to Murrays Sturgeon Shop recently and purchased the Nova with cream cheese and capers on a bagelit was absolutely delicious! The Nova and cream cheese were perfectly balanced. I must highlight their exceptional customer service the staff creates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, even when its busy. Ill definitely be returning and highly recommend it! Initial Review I recently explored Murrays Sturgeon Shop, enticed by positive reviews, and my overall encounter proved satisfactory. Opting for the Lox, and Lox and Sable combo sandwiches, complemented by a mix of pickles and rugelach I believe thats what it is called I entered with elevated expectations. Noteworthy was the commendable customer service, where the friendly and warm staff contributed to an enjoyable experience. The Lox sandwich was delightful. The pickles were enjoyable, and the rugelach introduced a delightful variety to the meal. Regrettably, the disappointment unfolded with the Lox and Sable combination. Despite the premium price exceeding 20, the sable and Lox struggled to shine through an overpowering layer of cream cheese. This dominance detracted from fully savoring the subtleties of the fish, falling short of the anticipated balance for a dish in this price range. While the overall experience was positive, the cream cheese issue with the Lox and Sable was a setback. A return to Murrays Sturgeon Shop is on my radar, considering exploring the fish on its own. If opting for a sandwich, I would request a lighter hand with the cream cheese to enhance the dining experience. In summary, Murrays Sturgeon Shop was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it to others. ”
“ A classic for a reason. I got a delicious bagel, lox smoked salmon, and cream cheese. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. With such a great location, I was able to get my bagel and eat while walking in Central Park. Highly recommend! ”
“ I ordered the Pastrami sandwich, and a bagel with cream cheese sturgeon. The pastrami and rye were fantastic, and the balance of mustard was top notch. However, the sturgeon was the star of the show. It literally melts in your mouth with how light and delicious it is. Highly, highly, recommend. ”
“ First time ordering from Murrays in NY , being in Texas doesnt make it easy to get appetizing other then the lox in the supermarket . Fed ex overnight delivery was smooth and easy !

Cant wait to try there other delicious items . Thank you Ira for the personal attention to our order ! ”
“ Top line place for Jewish appetizers, smoked salmon thinly and surgically sliced by experts. Bagels, pickled fish products, deli salads, chopped liver, desserts....all one would want in this delicious ethnic cuisine. Great service. Their style retains all the charm of a bygone deli counter that is very welcoming to me. Plus...OH THE FOOD! DELICIOUS!! ”
“ Best Sable, Smoked Trout, Coleslaw and Pickles available in NY. Preserved time warp ambiance is unmatched along with excellent service. ”
“ The Sturgeon was truly amazing. They have a midweek deal right now where it is four bagels and a tub of cream cheese if you purchase 44 worth of fish. This was a great deal also. Will definitely be back! ”
