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.

This is just one of many beautiful party trays we make throughout the year.  This is our "Deal Maker Nosh Tray", which is commonly known as our Meat and Cheese Tray.  We also offer Fruit Trays, Vegetable Trays, Dessert Trays, Pastry Trays, and Lox and Bagel Trays.  Trays serve a minimum of 10 people and we send everything you will need.  This Deal Maker Nosh Tray comes with Shapiro Rye Bread or Egg Buns, and one or two sides of our freshly made potato salad, cole slaw, or baked beans.  We send all of the paper goods, utensils and condiments!  Everyone can serve themselves and enjoy a relaxing meal.  Call us 24 hours in advance and we will have the tray of your choice ready when you arrive.  This is kosher-style goodness!

It is Women's NCAA Final Four weekend in Indianapolis!  Playing in their home state will be the NOTRE DAME IRISH taking on the Connecticut Huskies.  Games will be played at Conseco Fieldhouse, which is just minutes from Shapiro's Deli Downtown.  There are MANY, MANY other activities going on throughout the weekend before the championship game on Tuesday evening.  

The  BUTLER BULLDOGS will be playing in Houston on Saturday and I'm sure there will be a hush in the city of Indianapolis as everyone watches this game.  My daughter happens to attend Butler and will be working at Shapiro's on Saturday - keeping one eye on the game.  We will definitely have the restaurant television tuned in to the Butler game!  

Whether you are in Indy enjoying the Women's Final Four or relaxing at home to watch the Bulldogs, put Shapiro's Deli in your plans.  We are open and cooking lots of kosher style comfort food for you to nosh on.  Order a party tray and have a basketball party.  You just need to provide the big screen TV!  We will do the rest.

Looking for a place with a great Children's Menu in Indianapolis?  Shapiro's Deli has always enjoyed the fact that generations of families come to nosh together on special occasions.  Children 12 years and younger are invited to order from our Children's Menu.  We offer great kosher style sandwiches in a child's portion along with one side dish for $3.95 plus tax.  If they aren't ready for a full meal you can get just the entree for only $2.95 plus tax.  They can also choose a hot dog, corn dog, spaghetti, chilled cheese sandwich or chicken.  There are plenty of sides to choose from too - macaroni and cheese, jello, applesauce, potato salad, fruit cup, green beans and many others.  People tell us every day how they used to come to Shapiro's when they were kids and it remains a part of their fondest memories of family and good food.  So bring the kids next time!  We also have high chairs and booster seats for the little bitty ones.  Hope to see you soon!

As a new member of Weight Watchers, I just want to tell everyone that you CAN enjoy good food even when you are watching your weight.  If you are looking for a place to nosh in Indianapolis, stop by Shapiro's Deli.  There are plenty of options for those who are following the new Points Plus Weight Watcher program.  We have lots of fresh fruit - which are now ZERO points!  I have often enjoyed a 6 ounce chopped steak dinner with green beans, onions, and a side of fruit.  This is a 10 point meal, which leaves plenty of room for the rest of your day if you are on the 29 minimum daily points.  Our sandwiches are approximately 6 1/2 ounces of meat.  Look up the points value in your Pocket Guide for the meat you choose.  Feel free to order a sandwich with no bread if that works for you.  Another favorite of mine is the made-from-scratch vegetable soup.  One bowl is approximately 6 points.  With two packets of Saltine crackers you only spend 8 points total on this filling and healthy meal.  There are plenty of salads to choose from with fat-free dressing options.  It costs me a few extra points, but I frequently have the Caesar salad with chicken for lunch.  There is about 4 ounces of chicken, about 1/4 cup of swiss cheese, and a small amount of croutons.  These all have point values in your Pocket Guide.  If you are having breakfast we offer Egg Beaters or Egg Whites, which are a healthy alternative to whole eggs.  It is a challenge to work at one of the best delis in Indianapolis, but thanks to the kosher style food choices I just have to make wise choices.  I will leave the dessert choice up to you!  You'll have to figure out whether or not you can fit this into your program.  Good luck to everyone!

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.
