The standout aspect of Shapiro’s is undoubtedly the dedication to preserving the essence of Kosher-style deli cuisine. The attention to detail in crafting traditional flavors is commendable; each bite feels like a nod to the roots of deli culture. While the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, it’s important to note that quality and authenticity take precedence over presentation.

My husband is obsessed with the corned beef sandwich and is never disappointed. I’ve tried various things with mixed results. The last 2 times, I had chicken salad on one visit and tuna salad on the other. Neither had enough flavor to lure me back anytime soon. I suspect if I tried one of their tempting desserts, I’d have something to rave about.

Four and a half stars! Wonderful place for a great sandwich! Only reason it’s four and a half is it’s a little on the pricey side if you’re looking for a bargain. Friendly service! Cafeteria style service. An amazing pastrami on rye! Really wanted to try the Reuben but they only serve full size sandwiches .

Pretty much every local I’ve met told me to hit this shop. I took the brisket sandwich and potato salad.

We were staying across the street and saw this place a block away. This place had plenty of dishes and choices. You could get a full hot meal with 2 sides or a great sandwich including Rare Roast Beef, GREAT Pastrami on Rye or other selections like Corned Beef.

We have to stopped by this iconic Indianapolis place. It seemed to be local favorites. The place was packed, but the line moved quickly. Their food was fresh. You should look at the menu before getting in the line. There are two sections of the dine in and take out.

Excellent Ruben! Potato salad is mustard based very good though! The potato cakes are more like a bread than potato cakes in my opinion. The place is school style line with trays to grab all you can eat! Definitely an experience and I will be back!

AMAZING! You do not want to miss this place. Oldest running kosher-style deli still owned and operated by the original family (started in 1905) and almost everything has stayed the same for decades. If you want to go back in time, visit Shapiro’s in Indy, just check out the pictures of the “cafeteria”. As an important data point, I grew up in New Jersey eating at delis like this this was so incredibly nostalgic I was just smiling the whole time I was there and did not want to leave. I had so much fun from the moment I walked into Shapiro’s. You come upon the bakery first and the smells were amazing. Fresh baked rugelach, challah, the best rye bread I have ever head as the crust was crunchy, black & whites and I might say the best Chocolate Chip Cookie I have had in awhile. I had a pastrami sandwich on rye with a Dr. Browns Cream Soda and was in heaven. Of course it was HUGE and I could not eat it all but it made an amazing breakfast chopped up and pan seared with an egg the following morning for breakfast – Total YUM! It is amazing how they have been able to hold onto this incredible history. Notice the Pie Cases – wowee if you love pies and so hard to choose. Picked up a pound of corned beef and half a loaf of rye to bring back to St. Louis with me thank goodness I had a cooler. My only wish was that I had purchased more baked goods. I cannot wait to go back.

I can’t be on the south side of Indianapolis and not stop at Shapiro’s for corned beef or pastrami. Both are out of this world amazing! Their cakes and potato pancakes with applesauce are also super tasty. One of the best kosher delis you’ll ever visit!
