Sunday, January 1, 2012 by Tracy Fiddler
Happy New Year to everyone!  2012 has arrived and we are looking forward to serving you the best deli fare in the coming year.  We are serving Corned Beef and Cabbage today, along with black eyed peas to get your new year off to a "lucky" start.  Shapiro's is open until 7 p.m. today.  It is just a few short weeks to the most unique experience to ever visit our city - the Super Bowl!  You will NOT have properly visited Indianapolis unless you stop by Shapiro's Deli for the best corned beef, pastrami, bakery goods, Jewish deli delights, and kosher-style goodness.  Stay tuned for our event schedule.  We are likely to have very extended hours so everyone has a chance to experience just why Shapiro's Deli has been family owned and operated for over 100 years!   

KOSHER STYLE JEWISH FOOD IN INDIANAPOLIS

Saturday, December 10, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
Shapiro's Deli is proud to be one of the TOP TEN DELIS IN THE COUNTRY according to USA TODAY.  This is the place to go if you are looking for well known Jewish style food.  Start with our one-of-a-kind corned beef, cooked early every morning in a huge kettle until it is just right.  Servers hand trim the meat and it is sliced for you as you order.  Pair this with our warm Shapiro rye bread, hand sliced.  Potato pancakes (latkes) make a perfect side dish.  Some people like them with applesauce, some with sour cream, and some with nothing at all.  You might also want to try our cabbage borscht or matzo ball soup.  The mazto balls are made from scratch and are everything you would ever want in a matzo ball!  How about a chopped liver sandwich?  It is quite popular on rye bread with a slice of onion.  Step over to the bakery counter and sample the Rugulach.  This hand-made pastry is available in apricot, raspberry, chocolate and cinnamon.  Most folks order a variety because they are all so delicious!  If you are looking for the best place to nosh, look no further than Shapiro's Deli in Indianapolis and Carmel, Indiana.



KOSHER CATERING IN INDIANAPOLIS

Sunday, October 17, 2010 by Tracy Fiddler
Shapiro's Deli is highlighted in The Indiana Jewish Post & Opinion, October 13, 2010 edition.  The following is the article in its' entirety:

Shapiro's Deli Catering Division has initiated a new concept at the Park Regency Senior Living Facility in Indianapolis.  Jay Slavin, Catering Manager at Shapiro's Deli, reached out to the facility administrators, who were excited to add Shapiro's Night to their monthly social calendar.

On the first Tuesday of every month, residents choose some of their favorite items from the Shapiro's Deli menu.  They can invite family members or friends to join them for a great meal from the well-known deli.  Shapiro's brings in their popular sandwiches, hot comforting entrees, and mouth-watering desserts for a dinner that brings back fond memories.  Many residents have spent their lives in Indianapolis, where Shapiro's is a kosher-style dining landmark.

This concept is really catching on and growing in popularity.  Every month the participation is growing and Shapiro's plans to add other independent living facilities to the calendar as well.  Shapiro's Catering Division is focused on bringing their unique dining experience to the community.  Visit their website at www.shapiros.com.


LOOKING FOR JEWISH FOOD IN INDIANAPOLIS?

Saturday, February 27, 2010 by Tracy Fiddler
We currently have Mandel Brot, which means "almond bread" and is actually a twice-baked cookie loved by Askenazi (Eastern European) Jews.  Similar to Italian biscotti, this is a delicious treat, but it is made with flour so it is not suitable during Passover. 

We are also offering Hamentashen, which is traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Purim.  Hamentashen is a three sided pastry, which we have filled with either apricot filling or poppyseed filling.  These are absolutely delicious. 

Passover items have arrived!  The shelves are stocked with your Passover needs, both at the Indianapolis deli and the Carmel, Indiana deli.  Stop by and shop in our carryout department while we have everything you need.  Everything is on the shelves, so when it's gone, it's gone! 

Stop by and see us downtown from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily, or in Carmel until 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. 

HIGH HOLIDAYS

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Tracy Fiddler
If you are celebrating the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Shapiro's Deli is ready with kosher style favorites for your family gatherings.  Call us to place your order as soon as possible.  The Carmel Indiana Deli and the Indianapolis Deli are both prepared to help you with your needs. 

More than deli sandwiches

Monday, September 7, 2009 by Brandy Ison
Yes, we serve the best deli meats in Indianapolis but we also have a lot of other items to offer.  How about a Jewish comfort meal like corned beef and cabbage, brisket, or stuffed cabbage? 


We also have meatloaf, baked chicken, and stuffed peppers.  Don't forget our freshly prepared sides: macaroni and cheese, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, potato pancake, and lots more.


The weather is starting to cool down so maybe you'd like to try one of our soups: matzo ball, chicken noodle, cabbage borscht, chili, or one of our soups of the day.


No matter what you're in the mood for, Shapiro's has it all.  Come in and enjoy one of our delicious and hearty meals.

"BRISKET"

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Tracy Fiddler
There are probably not too many restaurants in downtown Indianapolis that even use the word "brisket" on their menu.  You can learn a lot about Kosher Style Food and the history of Jewish Food at this Indianapolis deli.  "Brisket" is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest.  While all meat animals have a brisket, the term is most often used to describe beef or veal.  The brisket is made up of two separate muscles which are sometimes separated for retail cutting:  the lean "first cut" and the fattier "second cut". 

When you order brisket at Shapiro's you could be ordering corned beef brisket or roast beef brisket.  So don't be surprised if you order brisket and we ask you which kind....corned beef or roast beef?  Remember, it is just the cut.
