Kasha Varnishkas
(Customer Reviews)Kenny & Ziggy’s Delicatessen ships its famous Jewish deli specialties nationwide on Goldbelly! Kasha varnishkas are an incredibly flavorful mixture of steamed buckwheat and bowtie pasta, caramelized onions and mushrooms, fresh garlic, salt, and pepper. An absolutely delicious Jewish specialty, and you won’t find any varnishkas that taste better than Kenny & Ziggy’s.
From a third-generation New York Deli owner, Kenny & Ziggy’s is not only the top deli in Texas but also one of the best delis in America. In the early 1900s, Max Gruber (Ziggy’s grandfather) left Budapest, Hungary, on a bicycle. He pedaled his way across Europe to the Atlantic coast and eventually sailed for the United States, ending up on New York’s Lower East Side. In 1927, he and his brothers-in-law Morris and Izzy Rappaport opened the first Jewish deli on Broadway! Generations later, Houston businessman Lenny Friedman convinced Ziggy Gruber, who ran successful Jewish delis in New York and Los Angeles, that Houston needed an authentic deli of its own. The rest is delicious history.

Everything was great! I reminisced over flavors I remember from my East Coast childhood. My adult family got to know the flavors as they had never had any of the delicacies before. It was a great experience. Items arrived on time, packaged extremely well and warmed up as easily as the directions instructed.

Everything I ordered was fabulous. I wish I lived closer to you. But then again, I would weigh 600lbs. I am a former New Yorker so I know good deli. Yours was just as good as New York, maybe even better. Thanks ya’all. And Shalom

This Passover dinner was the best that I have had anywhere. The soup was seasoned perfectly. The matzoh balls were a work of art. The gefilte fish excellent. The horse radish, tsimitz, wow. Brisket moist and excellent. I ate the charosis for desert.
I would order dinner from you every night if I could. Thanks for making everyone’s mouth happy.
