“These guys are the best. Always great service and quality meats. Shopping here always reminds me of growing up in Brooklyn and visiting the neighborhood meat market in the 70s and 80s.”
“THE BEST OF THE BEST4th ave halal meat market is the place to go all year long. The quality is amazing. Always fresh, clean and very affordable. Family owned and operated business. Everyone is kind, polite and very professional. Huge selection of Mediterranean and African grocery & spices. Beef and lamb sausage made with Mediterranean spices is my favorite. I also tried the new store made smoked lamb bacon and is was super delicious. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks to HOUARI, RYAN, KARIM.”
“Wow! Just absolutely wow! I am a steak guy. Always have been. When the pandemic hit back in 2020, I got into cooking steaks at home out of necessity. If I can't go to NYC's finest steak houses, I need to learn how to make the stuff at home. DeBragga, Pat LaFrieda, Snake River Farms, all have good delivery options and I tried them all. F.A. DeRosa smokes every one of those larger fine purveyors. The dry aged porterhouse from F.A. has become a staple in my grill routine. It is hands down the best porterhouse I have ever had. I have had probably 30 of them and have no desire to slow down. Stack it up next to Wolfgangs or the master of them all Peter Luger, F.A. DeRosa could supply those guys AND if you know your way around a grill you can easily surpass their quality in terms of cook and taste. If you live in NYC, love steak and are considering a move to the suburbs strongly consider Westfield just based on proximity to these guys. If you love steak and live within 150 miles of here make the pilgrimage. It is totally worth it. I have traveled with this stuff to friends houses in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Long Island City and they always demand more claiming its the best they have ever had. The owners are unbelievably friendly and quick with a tour of their shop and the meat locker. Come check this place out. If you love steak you will love F.A. DeRosa.”
“Just love this hometown staple. I’ve been going there since I was a kid w mom. We still love their delicious food and, their service. Nice to see a family business grow and prosper with their next generation.
If you happen to visit, check out the custom artwork recently hand painted on the side & back of the building and the garage! Lastly, if you don’t feel like cooking they’ve got you covered. They even cook roasts and birds for holiday dinners plus all the fixings. Every town should have a Perrotti’s! Don’t miss it or their chocolate pudding.”
“Since Kochers in Ridgefield Park closed I've been looking for a "real" German butcher and finally found it here. Their Weisswurst and Leberkase are awesome, everything is top notch.”
“Without question the best butcher on Staten Island. You definitely can taste the difference of pasture fed, organic meat. You can get any of your purchases prepared according to your needs. The staff always works to make sure their customers are satisfied and happy. For anyone who remembers “the local butcher shop”, this is your place. They also provide something you can’t buy and is so hard to find these days. Integrity in their business practices.”
“I was greeted upon entry there were other people that appeared to be regulars. I was asked if I needed help but it was first time so I said I had no decided on everything yet. They gave me time and a gentleman helped I told him I didn't quite need the plans posted but wanted to come up with my own. He said that was fine and I told him what I needed and he went and got everything and rang me up. Bottom line this where I'm getting my meat from now on.?? ?? ?? ??”
“The best chicken ever!!! I love getting meat from here it is always tender and delicious..Shaquille and his wife are always patient to explain and recommend the Best quality of food. Stop by!”

“I recently visited Caldwell Market Place and it exceeded all my expectations. This butcher shop has an amazing selection of meats and products that cater to every need. Whether you're looking for premium cuts of beef, fresh poultry, or gourmet sausages, they have it all.
The quality is outstanding—each product is impeccably fresh and sourced from top-notch suppliers. You can really taste the difference in every bite.
What truly sets Caldwell Market Place apart, though, is their exceptional customer service. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to offer cooking tips, recipe ideas, or help you choose the perfect cut for your meal. Their friendly and attentive service makes every visit a pleasant experience.
If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Caldwell Market Place. It's a gem that will undoubtedly become your go-to for all your meat and specialty food needs!”
“We ordered a filet mignon roast for the holidays and it was fantastic. It was trimmed beautifully and Mike wrapped it in bacon for us. We actually wound up with 2 roasts. All of our guests said it was the best steak they ever had. Will definitely be ordering again and the price was so reasonable. Can‘t wait to try their other meats.”
“Placed an order to be delivered to Illinois to a You Tube guy I follow.. My expectations were exceeded. Thank you for the quick ship and the courteous interactions. A++ service”
“If you're polish you will find everything you may need here - just like back home. Including some cosmetics, magazines and medicines. Selection is huge for a pretty small place. Meats, cheeses and cold cuts are top quality. They also have hot food which is way better than in most Polish restaurants in the area. Selection includes soups and desserts. Perfect place to get your polish supplies or to experience Polish homemade food.”
“10/10 hot pastrami sandwich. I used to only get the roast beef and homemade turkey because both always hit. But this pastrami was awesome. Kudos to the guy who made this.”
“The staff here are so friendly and helpful and the food is excellent very professional. Nice atmosphere even though I was in and out quickly because I only have a 45 minute lunch break. But it's only 5 minutes from my job and I called ahead of time. They have my food ready everytime.”
“When I think of an Italian deli, this is the standard I hold all other Italian deli’s to. My comfort foods are the rice balls, number 17 with balsamic, and the chicken parm sub. They have homemade classics in the freezer I love the eggplant rollatini.”
“Came here for the first time today. The owner is so so so nice and hooked me up with some filet mignon and sirloin. We just grilled up the filet mignon for dinner and I might go as far to say it’s the best we’ve ever had. Will be coming here from now on!”

This place has everything you would need for a BBQ they offer a variety of spices and different types of meat. This place is my to go place for affordable high quality cuts of meat.

“This is a great place, very clean and efficient in their work. They have most everything you may need. I think a lot of the negative comments is probably people not used to dealing with efficient people. They like their emotions pandered to.”
“We bought very delicious sausages and various types of meat. They have excellent, flavorful Italian extra virgin olive oils. The staff is both friendly and they sell high-quality products. I highly recommend it.”

They are meticulous about meeting your needs. If you order butcher or deli products questions are asked surrounding what type of meal you are looking to prepare...as they want to ensure you are using the right cut or product!I highly recommend Simoes and Almeida as your first time experience will convert you to a loyal customer!”

“They used to carry lamb and fish but today I didn't see any. Seems like one of their fridge is not working. Other than that, price for goat meat and hard fowl is great.”
