Kenny & Ziggys New York Delicatessen

Yes, 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.

The'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!

Noo 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

Fabulous!! 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 !!

If you want legit New York style bagels , this is your place in Houston. Not a huge selection but near to perfection.

The 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.

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!

The Hungarian goulash is a hit. And the chicken soup . And the sinfully sumptuous slab of cheesecake . For four. The menu is huge! Read more

The 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!!!!!

I'm impressed. A real ny Jewish deli in Texas. Great pickles . Chopped liver was excellent. And they have REAL rainbow cake with marzipan !

The 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!

Breakfast 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!

Nobody 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.

Great place with lots of good food in great portions. My niece & nephew enjoy finding all the signed pictures.

Reubens the size of your head. Amazing pickles . Lots of comforting Jewish favorites like matzo ball soup and corned beef and cabbage . [Eater 38 Member]

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.

Can't decide? Get the Mishmosh and have everything in there.  You don't have to "just" get the matzoh ball .

I love their Ruben ! It can definitely feed two though. Their pickle snacks you get with each meal are tasty as well !

The best waffles and frenchstoast I ever taste on Houston. Super huge portions most on sandwiches

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.

Birthday Special: When dining in their restaurant on your birthday, you will receive a free slice of their famous NY cheesecake .

HUGE portions , but they are also generous with takeout boxes. I had the lox & garlic bagel plate. Could barely finish it.

great resturant! I got the 1/2 lb burger with onion strings and avacado

A 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!

Everything is good here, from the breakfast food to the sandwiches to the pickles . Great service!

Real 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!

Don'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!

You have to be a true foodie or New York Deli fan to try this place! All authentic....all gooood!

The Boston cream pie ! Everything is amazing. Even the menu design is entertaining. Well done!

Had the Grilled Monte Cristo . A great mix of breakfast and lunch served on French toast . Definitely too big for one person.

The BLT has so much bacon your jaw will hurt trying to finish it.

The prices seem high, but the portions are enormous!!! You'll have leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day :)

This place was awesome! A big variety on the menu and huge portions !

Order the famous Zellagabetsky ($85) with hungry friends

The Reuben is worth crawling on broken glass to get to eat one, and the Matzoh Ball Soup is incredible!

Great NY Deli !!! Wonderful sandwiches !!!

I ordered a salad , it was huge and delicious. It was also fun watching the monster sandwiches come out.

I have no idea what the layered sandwich I had was called, but I ate it for three days. It was amazing!

Love their chicken noodle soup with a bagel . They also have big as your face cookies .

The corned beef and cabbage is excellent. For side dish, try the insanely good mashed potatoes .

Great 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

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.

Everything! Get some chopped liver and some cheesecake even.

The must: The Reuben and the Cheesecake .

The corned beef is out of this world! The best I've ever had.

Their egg salad is amazing and this is my go-to place for schnitzel .

The most authentic NY style eatery in town . Don't be overwhelmed by the menu. Try the Braised Short Ribs . Back of menu has deli lingo.

Don't get me wrong... Everything here is awesome, but damn it's expensive . Plates are big enough to split..
