Shapiro's Delicatessen & Cafeteria Restaurant Review: Yes, it is true. There is an authentic, New York-style deli in downtown Indianapolis. Politicians, executives in suits, hourly workers and everyday Joes meet in the snaking cafeteria line, choosing from chicken and noodles, spaghetti and meatballs, roast chicken and old-fashioned pot roast. They're all dished up alongside good noodle kugel (pudding) and chicken soup with matzo balls as large as the bowl. The hot corned beef stacked high on rye bread is legendary. Breakfast is a happening affair, whether the order is a toasted bagel and smear of cream cheese or scrambled eggs with lox or diced salami. Desserts, cleverly situated at the head of the cafeteria line, are tempting enough to try two, but if the choice is one, make it the cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Or the lemon cake. Or the carrot cake. Not sure what to order? Ask anyone standing in line, which most likely will be a regular or visitor from a nearby state returning for a Shapiro’s fix. |
