Finally, a decent place in Auckland to get a pastrami on rye thats chock full of meat, not the usual Kiwi way of a few thin shavings - these guys dont scrimp on the fillings. And the
We've been back twice now and since had the Rueben which is an upgrade to the pastrami on rye with the inclusion of saurkraut, a pickle and swiss. PLus you get a side of either slaw or crisps.
The owner has experience working in proper NY deli's and has pulled off an awesome version right here in Kiwiland. . Next time we go it will be for a Cuban and a Lobster Roll. The time after that it will be for their Roto chooks which get rotisserie batch cooked daily and when theyre gone theyre gone so it pays to order ahead.
The service is fast and knowledgable and you can sit in the window or outside of it and watch the rest of the world go by drooling at your lovely food.
Im a Chef by trade and I give it 5 stars for the fact that what they do, they do it exceptionally well. My wife is from the US and she gives it 5 because it is at least as good - or better - than what she has had in the US, the home of pastrami and rye. So I reckon our combined rating is pretty legit, but you gotta try it for yo'self.
The staff were very friendly and helpful! The guy when cooking was joking and talking which was great service but the best part was the food! It was so tasty!! I had the chicken and gravy hot sandwich! It was delicious! We also brought a ready made sandwich which was good too! My only thing was it was the music was a little loud- but that's just for while we were talking to the chef.
Can't wait to come back and try more!
After ordering dinner on Friday night for a family event (chicken, pork, sliders and a range of salads) .. we have had this also for lunch both days of weekend with the amount of food that was provided.., fantastic food and always a warming welcome. Our guests were well impressed! I went for Sunday morning coffee and couldn't resist the smell of the breakfast so ordered bagels all round. Awesome that even our 3 year old got special treatment with a honey bagel and he got to watch it being made. Well done team pastrami and rye.. we will be back �
