Ben K.July 19, 2017Yes, one of the best Jewish delis in the U.S. is in Houston. Everything is amazing here but must try the matzah ball soup, pastrami sandwich, and blintzes.
Kingsley YoungerSeptember 10, 2014The've Beef Monument (Great Wall of Beef) sandwich made out of roast beef, turkey, tongue, salami , hot pastrami and corned beef besides 8 slices of bread. You should starve yourself for 3 days first!
Houston PressAugust 4, 2014Noo Yawkers make lunch at Kenny & Ziggy's a standing-room-only affair, scarfing down the delicious matzo balls & the three-inch-thick pastrami deli sandwiches (with Hebrew National mustard from NY). Read more
Rodger DodgerFebruary 11, 2019Fabulous!! Great-very quick service-Ruben was excellent-huge-two meals-I wish it came with french fries - they have great fries. Will go back when I am not so rushed - want to try desert!!
Mike KarleskyJuly 1, 2018If you want legit New York style bagels, this is your place in Houston. Not a huge selection but near to perfection.
Donna BrownFebruary 12, 2019The Rubin was delicious and three of us shared it. And there was still a little piece left. The food is as big as the menu is.
RandySeptember 1, 2012The chicken Schnitzel Cutlet with mashed potatoes & Kasha Varnishkas. The chicken has a great taste, but is alittle dry, and the Kasha Varnishkas is absolutely amazing!!!!!
Local Houston MagazineMarch 2, 2014The Hungarian goulash is a hit. And the chicken soup. And the sinfully sumptuous slab of cheesecake. For four. The menu is huge! Read more
Daniel EggertDecember 22, 2013The Monte Cristo could feed three. An ENORMOUS pile of French toast, turkey, ham and cheese with cranberry and syrup!! Bring a friend or plan on taking a box home!- Love their 'mishmash' (one huge matzo ball plus one large dumpling) on the base of chicken soup, with pieces of chicken. The best medicine for cold. And their cheese blintzes are sinful and heavenly!
A TristenFebruary 4, 2023Nobody leaves this restaurant hungry! The food portions were enormous, just like the menu😋. Shared a 2 meat platter with my spouse and took a doggie bag.
EaterOctober 5, 2011Reubens the size of your head. Amazing pickles. Lots of comforting Jewish favorites like matzo ball soup and corned beef and cabbage. [Eater 38 Member]
Can't decide? Get the Mishmosh and have everything in there. You don't have to "just" get the matzoh ball.
Eric CNovember 11, 2014I'm impressed. A real ny Jewish deli in Texas. Great pickles. Chopped liver was excellent. And they have REAL rainbow cake with marzipan!
World class NY deli deep in the heart of Texas, Houston anyway. Every dish is truly authentic. Save up your calories the day you eat here.- Houston PressOctober 17, 20122012 Best of Houston Winner: Best Deli.Check out more Houston Press Winners here:
SusanaSeptember 28, 2012Breakfast is great anytime! The Lox to die for! Luck be a latke sandwich, lean corn beef sandwiches. Excellent salads. Oh, the desserts! The coconut cream pie. Oh my!
Andres NovoaNovember 1, 2015I love their Ruben! It can definitely feed two though. Their pickle snacks you get with each meal are tasty as well!
Dan DawesMay 1, 2013A great stab at a true NY deli -- in Houston! I had the "Swiss & Shout" which is a Rachel elsewhere. Turkey pastrami to die for. Try it!- Jewish food in New-York style and environment. Great 'mishmash' soup (matzo ball with a huge dumpling). Love their cheese blintzes. Large portions, come hungry.
JennSeptember 27, 2012Birthday Special: When dining in their restaurant on your birthday, you will receive a free slice of their famous NY cheesecake.
Henry's Hungry HoustonAugust 16, 2010Real deal NY style/kosher eatery in Houston. Get Don't Knock it till You Try It and scrumptious Kanish. Salmon flown in from NY daily. Grab a Helva for dessert at register on your way out. Mazeltov!
Sheila ScarboroughJanuary 27, 2016HUGE portions, but they are also generous with takeout boxes. I had the lox & garlic bagel plate. Could barely finish it.
Diana MarielJanuary 2, 2019The best waffles and frenchstoast I ever taste on Houston. Super huge portions most on sandwiches
Vania N.August 24, 2017Everything is good here, from the breakfast food to the sandwiches to the pickles. Great service!
Rachi Ya Partners Patna MayesSeptember 19, 2015You have to be a true foodie or New York Deli fan to try this place! All authentic....all gooood!- Travis HouserJune 15, 2017The prices seem high, but the portions are enormous!!! You'll have leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day :)
- The BLT has so much bacon your jaw will hurt trying to finish it.
Barry McClungAugust 22, 2016The Reuben is worth crawling on broken glass to get to eat one, and the Matzoh Ball Soup is incredible!
Don NoApril 21, 2012Don't forget to order the He'brew Lenny's Rye IPA beer with the rye and pastrami. It's a big beer to go with a big sandwich! L'Chaim!
William WalkerFebruary 26, 2023Great place with lots of good food in great portions. My niece & nephew enjoy finding all the signed pictures.
Paulina GuerraApril 4, 2016Great food! The service wasn't that good! Maybe the waitresses aren't being paid well, that's what our told us, also that nobody wants to serve the latinos, because they don't tip well, she is latina
Brandi Chambers-BaldwinApril 24, 2015The Boston cream pie! Everything is amazing. Even the menu design is entertaining. Well done!
Tony LopezAugust 12, 2012Had the Grilled Monte Cristo. A great mix of breakfast and lunch served on French toast. Definitely too big for one person.
Mallorie BraunzAugust 13, 2015I ordered a salad, it was huge and delicious. It was also fun watching the monster sandwiches come out.

EdMarch 15, 2014The corned beef and cabbage is excellent. For side dish, try the insanely good mashed potatoes.- In addition to authentic kosher, also try the BLT and onion rings plate. Over 10oz of bacon cooked to perfect crisp and chewiness with rings that'll make your mama proud.
Leslie KoerdtOctober 11, 2014I have no idea what the layered sandwich I had was called, but I ate it for three days. It was amazing!- Ryan WallingFebruary 15, 2011Really great pastrami sandwich. Get the Russian dressing on the side. I wish we had this place in ATX. And I wish I had tried the pie!! Ugh!
Love their chicken noodle soup with a bagel. They also have big as your face cookies.
Augustine VNovember 25, 2015Don't get me wrong... Everything here is awesome, but damn it's expensive. Plates are big enough to split..
Kimberly RandleSeptember 24, 2011My new favorite place for French Dips sooooo good!! Also chicken and rice soup perfect is you need some when ur sick !!
