Description
Reubens is a kosher restaurant and deli at 79 Baker Street in Marylebone, serving traditional Ashkenazi Jewish food under rabbinical supervision. People come for the dishes you associate with the old Jewish delis: salt beef sandwiches, chicken soup with kneidlach, latkes, and a good spread of hot and cold plates. There are two parts to it, a ground-floor deli-diner for quick counter food and a restaurant downstairs with a fuller menu, so it works for a fast lunch or a sit-down meal alike.
The food is fully kosher, and the kitchen keeps meat and dairy apart in line with Jewish dietary law, which matters to observant diners and to anyone after a certified kosher meal near Baker Street, where the options are thin. Reubens calls itself the longest-running kosher restaurant in the United Kingdom. It has traded since 1973 and has long been part of the Jewish dining scene in central London. Two fires hit the Baker Street premises during 2024 and forced it to close; after a substantial restoration, it reopened in August 2025 at the same address. The menu sticks to what the restaurant is known for, with salt beef still the signature, alongside soups, fried fish and grilled meats, and the deli counter handles takeaway.
Reubens sits on the eastern side of street, a short walk from Baker Street Underground station, which is served by several lines and easy to reach from across London. Hours run Sunday to Thursday, with an early Friday close ahead of Shabbat and full closure on Saturday, so it is worth checking times before you travel, especially toward the end of the week. You can compare it with other places to eat in the area through the restaurants category, which lists further dining options nearby.
