About This Spot
Stepping into Ark Gourmet Deli is like pausing in the midst of Newark’s busy rhythm to enjoy a brief but genuine sense of calm. Nestled on Raymond Boulevard, this deli welcomes you with a modest, cozy vibe where the hum of daily life slows just enough to savor a moment of genuine connection and good food. The pace here is unhurried yet lively, striking a balance that suits both those seeking a quick bite and those wanting to linger over something thoughtfully prepared.
The atmosphere quietly reflects its loyal neighborhood following—friendly faces behind the counter greet you warmly, and there’s an easy, approachable energy that invites you to come back again, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Formula stayed the same I hadn't visited the Ark since they were on Broad Street. The wraps were just as I remembered. GREAT

We were in the mood for a salad, at first I was skeptical, but wow!!! The shrimp and lobster salad was great!!! They have a pretty interesting menu. I think what ever it is you’re in the mood for, you will definitely find it in this little cozy spot! Friendly and affordable. If you’re on the run a Smoothie is always great!! I tried the Power Green Smoothie, the ginger had a nice zing!!! Will definitely visit again and try other foods!!

This deli has the BEST chicken Caesar wrap. So juicy and tender, and plenty of Caesar dressing! Veggies on the side were so fresh and crunchy. Staff are so sweet and welcoming! Best chips too!
