Lunch in Carmel

We are cooking a whole turkey every day for lunch through the end of the year!  You can also order a side dish of stuffing.  This is being offered on our serving line inside the deli downtown and in Carmel.  Just grab a tray and ask for a turkey dinner!  This is a great way to sample the turkeys that are available in our Complete Turkey Dinners.  Just a reminder that we are offering this complete dinner from now until the end of the year for $75.  The dinner feeds 6 to 8 and includes a whole turkey, stuffing, gravy, rye bread or egg buns and three additional side dishes.  Don't forget to order dessert!  We will be CLOSED on Thanksgiving Day so we can all enjoy a day with our families.  Let us cook for you so you can do the same.  Enjoy the holiday season!

Shapiro's Deli in Carmel, Indiana will be serving Rare Roast Beef as their Sandwich of the Month in September 2011 for only $6.00!  This is a superior product, sliced to order and served on your choice of bread.  The Carmel deli is a great spot to stop for lunch (or dinner of course) while you are out shopping, walking or biking on the Monon, or just hurrying through your errands.  You can also get one of our premium half sandwiches and a cup of soup for only $8.50.  Hope to see you soon! 

We had the good fortune to be one of several local restaurants serving food at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week.  In the photo is Kelly, Tracy (myself), Allison, and Jennifer, a portion of the catering staff of Shapiro's Deli in Indianapolis and Carmel.  The event was the BRICKYARD BASH.  Thanks to all who stopped by and enjoyed a corned beef sandwich, delicious garlic pickle, and a gourmet cookie!  We had fun and hope we will get to meet more of the local corporate movers and shakers by bringing lunch or dinner to your next meeting or function.  Have a great Brickyard weekend and don't forget we are here to make boxed lunches, party trays, or whatever else you need for a fun racing weekend. 

Back by popular demand - the grill on the patio at Shapiro's in Carmel!  Beginning Monday, June 20th, we will be firing up the grill for lunch at the Carmel deli.  Try a beef burger, beef frank, chicken or steak sandwich with a bag of chips.  There will be lots of cold beverages on hand and you can add a side of our famous potato salad or cole slaw for $1.75.   Stop by from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. any day of the week and we will cook your food to order just the way you want it (weather permitting - you just never know here in Indiana).  If it is raining come inside and get that Reuben you've been thinking about anyway.  Looks like I will be needing to head to Carmel for a meeting around lunch time one day next week. I absolutely love the steak sandwiches.  

Do you have any events planned this coming week?  It seems the entire city is involved with the Indy 500 racing season, as well as the many, many graduations taking place!  Look to Shapiro's Deli to help you with your catering needs.  Whether you need food for the masses or just a scrumptious boxed lunch to take to the race, give us a call.  But hurry!  The calendar is filling up quickly but we still have openings for your catering orders.  Call Kelly at 317-690-3036 to place your catering orders or call the downtown deli at 317-631-4041, the Carmel location at 317-573-3354.  We promise to take care of you!  Click on the "We Cater" link on our website homepage to see what catering options are available.  We are happy to help you customize your order.

Beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 9th, Shapiro's Deli in Indianapolis and Carmel will be serving fried perch every day during lunch.  Order a sandwich on your choice of fresh baked bread or order a dinner with two vegetables and a side of bread.  The perch is breaded and fried to a golden brown.  It has a great flavor we think you will enjoy.  We have tartar sauce and for the more adventurous we have hot sauce!  Stop by and give it a try!
