Dana ParkerApril 20, 2017This is the best Jewish Deli in the state. Their Rueben is amazing, and if you go during Passover they will make it on matzah. They also have the nicest staff! Worth many repeat visits.
Ken GrossDecember 17, 2015A must when in town. Always great food. Have to walk there so you can walk off the huge portions. A pleasure every time.
Erik RowleyJanuary 14, 2017A wonderful kosher deli, grab a tray and slide through a variety of delicious comfort foods. Fresh baked bread and recommend the chicken noodle casserole.
I've been eating here for over 50 years. Corned beef on rye, potato pancakes and the best cheesecake in the city!
Chris RMay 24, 2017It's expensive but there's a reason. Darn good eats. Fresh baked breads to go with your sandwich. You have to try the reuben if you've never been here.
John KMarch 17, 2016Love the New York Reuben! Pastrami on rye w/Swiss,Cole Slaw and Thousand Island dressing! Sandwich perfection!
Carrie Savage-ZimmermanApril 4, 2016Corned beef, pastrami, Mac'n cheese. Incredible desserts, esp. Lemon cake. Pricey. Worthwhile every so often.
David WhittingtonJuly 1, 2013Words cannot explain how outstanding the food is here. Mac-N-Cheese, Rueben, Potato Salad, Deviled Eggs. Heck yeah!
sara mae pickleJuly 14, 2016an Indy staple. amazing prices for the amount of food you get. go with a group for lunch.- John KJanuary 11, 2018Freshest bagels I have had in a long time! Great quick breakfast on my way to the airport!
Love the peppered beef and Swiss on rye! Their chili is great as well...
Zach SteinerFebruary 7, 2016Best deli outside New York. Pastrami, Reubens, Matzo ball soup, Cel ray soda.
Gregory GoodinJanuary 10, 2011Pastromi is amazing along with pretty much everything else. This is a must stop if you are in Indy. They don't make places like this anymore.
DanielJames SedamMarch 5, 2016I'd say the corned beef sandwiches would be a good place to start if you've never been there before
Mitch SmithJanuary 27, 2023I ordered a 1/2 pastrami and side of green beans and it was $16…are we in NYC?? And the sandwich wasn’t even hot and the cheese wasn’t melted … but the pastrami was good (not great)- Maria AlvizJuly 6, 2018This place is 110 years old! Try the Reuben sandwich, it's huge and delicious.
You cannot go wrong with peppered beef on rye with brown mustard. If you're sitting and eating, make sure to grab a potato pancake too.
Corned beef, Shapiro's rye, mustard, and a pickle spear. This is a must.
Julie Braun-StewartJanuary 11, 2012Super expensive but you get enough for breakfast lunch and dinner!
T Neverdinner JacketJune 16, 2012Usually has a special with the Tuesday farmers market across the street.
Lisa HudsonSeptember 23, 2012The Ruben is delicious. But 13 dollars for a sandwich is not delicious.
Dave ReyburnNovember 22, 2011Might want to bring your own salt and pepper shakers; the grease on theirs makes them hard to grip. Bring Clorox wipes too- restrooms are not Kosher clean.
Get a pastrami/corned beef reuben! Best thing ever!
Jam-packed before Colts' home games! This is the place to be for inclement weather tailgating!
