Shapiro's Delicatessen

One word: PASTRAMI

Get it on their signature toasted light rye with flecks of caraway seeds. Swiss cheese a must (50 cent surcharge) with a smudge of dijon over yellow mustard. Dill pickle on the side (although not for me). The warm, juicy pastrami is thinly shaved with a deli slicer and generously piled on top of the bread of your choice. Making sure I don't dislocate my jaw, the sandwich itself is wider than I can open my mouth.

At almost $12 for a full pastrami sandwich, I'd opt for the $8.50 lunch special of 1/2 pastrami sandwich and cup of soup. This way, I can have variety and tack on a side of their delicious German potato salad (it's warm!). Also leaves me some spare change for one of their scrumptious desserts.

It's not a place I would frequent because of the price, hence the 4 stars, but for Jewish deli serving kosher food - I can understand the premium. You're getting a dang good ole' quality pastrami sandwich smack dab in Indy.

Last Jewish deli in Indianapolis! Must go, Indianapolis tradition! Have to get matzo ball soup and pastrami or corned beef on rye. One of the best delis in region, if not best(BETTER THAN ALL IN CHICAGO AREA!). MUST GO.

"Cook good. Serve generously. Price modestly. People will come."

A Kosher Joint serving the best. The Pastrami Sandwich is so big that you have to literally wear gloves to knock it out. Else it will knock you out with only one bite of tenderness wrapped in Toasted Rye with a slap of Mustard. The Pastrami just oozes the juices out and hands down it is the best Pastrami Sandwich State of Indiana has to offer,

In my list ... I can proudly put this Sandwich among the 100 meals you have to eat before you kick the bucket.
