My partner and I loved this place when we lived in Christchurch, no sandwich place in Auckland has come close. When we were last in Christchurch it was worth a 30 minute walk to obtain delicious sandwiches. Everything about this place was just as good as we remembered it. Keep making delicious sandwiches!
Yes yes, very yes. The multigrain bread is some of the best I've ever tasted, and really makes some of their sandwiches. I've been through the whole menu now, and can safely say that everything is top notch. Prices are reasonable too for the quality you get.
Finally a great sandwhich joint in Christchurch! We went on a Saturday around lunch time and the line was out the door (this may have been due to a plethora of athletic events as most patrons were on a high school athletic team). The smells emanating from the restaurant were strong enough to keep you firmly planted in line though. I'd like to say the line moves fast, but, alas. Though this place is called "New York Deli" it's definitely a take on some American staple sandwiches. As a former New Yorker, the pastrimi ingredients weren't quite correct, but as a new local Kiwi, I thought it sounded great anyway (I never liked American pastrami sandwiches anyhow). The names all have a fun New York theme like Brooklyn Short Rib, Bronx Beef and Salmon on Broadway (except the Obama BLT, that was a random outlier). I opted for the NYD Cheesecake (last minute switch because they ran out of the Chicken SoHo) which is a seasoned flank stank (cooked more medium rare than dry and chewy) with chipotle BBQ (more bbq than chipotle) and cheese on top. I opted to add some veggies at the end of the line, too, as the service works much like a Subway store. I had my sandwhich on turkish bread, but there are two other options which both looked fantastic and fresh as well. I'm excited to go back and try some of the other options, but also, to arrive before 10:30 am and try some of their bagel creations. If there bagels are as good as their bread options, you won't be disappointed.
