If you’re looking for a morning fix to start your day, this is the place to be. Starting with their bottomless coffee hot or iced is a great way to start everything. Also their sandwiches are superb and large serving. Their staff are very accomodating.
We love eating here. The atmosphere, the great service, the reasonable cost, the lovely dishes. We always manage to get a seat. 10/10
Wow! Like stepping back into a 50's New York hash house. And that's what I had. Mish mash with a fried egg on top. Nothing special but there was plenty of it. Crazy dining experience and the place was packed out
Thoroughly enjoyable..
I love Fed Deli when I'm craving solid diner food and friendly service.
The milk fed veal schnitzel is an unexpected favourite, crispy and lightly crumbed outside and juicy inside with sage crisps and the acidity of lemon cutting through.
The fennel and Apple salad was fun and different, with coriander and almonds blending together beautifully with the fennel to create a refreshing and crisp combo in the mouth.
You can also never go wrong with the hearty sandwiches here.
The dish nobody leaves without having though is the poutine, which has some of the best gravy in Auckland. I wouldn't mind more curds, but for those who don't like curds then this is perfect.
Last but not least, leave some room in your stomach for the sweets. The New York cheesecake is classic light heaven, the banana and toffee pie perfectly accompanied by caramel popcorn and the lemon meringue is just like it's home made. If you can't choose, get a slice of them all.
Came here for dinner. Chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly. Lemon meringue pie was amazing.

Nice hearty diner food with a bit of sophistication! Loved the poutine (fries with cheese and gravy). Eat it while it’s still hot so the fries don’t get soggy and the cheese remains stringy. The toasted Rueben with sauerkraut was interesting, nice thick amount of pastrami that tasted well when added with the coleslaw. The dog was nice, didn’t really like the spiciness of the mustard, put a bit too much on but it paired well with the caramelised onion. The 3 way was good value ($20 for 3 slices), absolutely loved the cheesecake, really dense and melt in your mouth. The banana and toffee pie was alright, toffee jelly coated around slices of banana with whipped cream and caramel popcorn on the top, wasn’t a big fan of the wobbly texture of the pie, would’ve been better with sponge, but interesting gingerbread biscuit base. Really disliked the choc cherry pie, far too rich and bitter (topped with powdered cacao) really a cringe tasting pie. Got the sweetened ice tea which was alright but loved the idea of it being bottomless! All in all, everything costed $71 so not too bad. We were very full by the third pie! Definitely would love to come back to try the dinner selections.
Come to dinner with my friend . There is still half of the space available at 5:30. When I finished eating, there was already a line outside.
Milk-fed veal schnitzel is very simple with two cutlets. The taste is ok but it's really too simple. 3/5
Iceberg wedge is a refreshing salad dish. I like it . 5/5. Toasted Reuben a lot of beef , with sauerkraut. It tastes so-so. 3.5/5
Fries w cheese curd & gravey This is delicious. The sauce is slightly salty. 4.5/5
The 3- ways. A combination of three cakes. We choice NY cheesecake & Banana & Toffee pie & Lemon Meringue pie. All fresh and delicious! recommend! 5/5
We were only going to order the 3-way combo but the poutine seems really delicious and it did not disappoint us. The Poutine was covered in thick gravy and the melted cheese and the fries was just the perfect combo. the lemon meringue was amazing, also the NY cheesecake was not over sweetened at all. a really creamy and dense texture and the strawberries which comes with the NY cheesecake was surprisingly good.
cant go wrong here, abit loud but food is amazing with great atmosphere
Rating 3.5 Casual 50’s American diner set up. The menu read pretty much was one would expect too. Pastrami, bagel, reuben, hot dogs. I got the Cloudy Bay Clams steamed & a side of Montreal Poutine. The clams were quite tasty, and so was the very generously spreaded baguette. The poutine was somewhat weird, lumps of random cheese curd. The gravy wasn’t rich nor generous enough, chips themselves were not the best either. The service was friendly & it great to hang out with friends here.
Have been there twice for lunch. Pickled pork tastes fantastic and special! With a crispy crust and tender texture of pork. Hot dog is very delicious! And very sizable, can shared with two if eat other dishes. Tuna Melt is good! Very dishes are good! The staff are warm and hospitable to guests. The cheese cake was sold out and he saw my disappointment. And several minutes later came back to tell me that chef is making a new one. Very sweet! They have brunch menu and dinner menu. Will come back to try dinner. Love the place. ❤️
Service & the atmosphere is great. The food is nice enough but they are tiny and a bit overpriced. The NY strip steak is nicely cooked (medium rare) but chewy. Matzo ball soup was quite salty but with an interesting taste (recommended), chicken salad sandwich was quite tasty.
This restaurant was very enjoyable. The servers were friendly, the food was delicious and the vibe was very eclectic. We had a tuna melt, a bagel with lox and a large fries. There was a short line waiting to be seated but it cleared fairly quickly.
Fed Deli is my go-to for poutine in Auckland. I always order a small plate and a sandwich (either the reuben or the chicken salad sandwich). The chicken sandwich is delicious with cheese and toasted - it has crispy chicken skin and the crunch is sooo good. Tried the tuna melt for the first time today and it was so yum!! I literally had to close my eyes to savor the flavours 🤭 The NY cheesecake is a must try, and if you like desserts, get The 3-way and taste 3 of the pies!
Great menu options here. We're a fan of the fish option, when will Al bring a seafood restaurant to Tamaki diners? The quality of produce is excellent, what you expect from a smack bang central Kiwi food experience.
I noticed a great attitude and mana from the kitchen team. The wait staff, like most local institutions, need to understand service with a smile. At least Mccas gets that right every now and then.
We will eat here again , it's passion on a plate!
Auckland's Katz Deli. Nearly the same ambient as in NY's famous deli. Well, the Pastrami sandwich is way smaller but a bit more delicious. I had to visits here for a small dinner and a breakfast and both were delicious. Full recommendation.
Perfectly located next to our hotel, Federal provided a perfect stop for quick bite before exploring the city. An open kitchen gives a great view of the delicious deli food being prepared. I went for the fish sandwich and was very happy with the choice. Perfectly toasted buns!
Best cheesecake in town unmatched by any other place! Ordered two full cakes for an event and everyone agreed that the cakes were the highlight of the night. So dense and creamy, and great value for $85 per cake as they went a long way (one cake served a party of 25 so we had one whole cake left over).
American diner vibes with a nice selection of food. Food portions are slightly smaller compared to elsewhere, but otherwise normal sized for Asian appetites. Prices are at AKL CBD restaurant rates going at mid twenties to thirties for mains. The open kitchen concept is great to just gaze at if you’re seated at the counter. Wait staff are really professional and friendly.
Visiting Singaporeans, be sure to spot my $2 note at one of the booths :>
Love this place would defs go back. Different food then what you would usually find in Auckland. An American vibe and staff are great. We loved the veal schnitzel! The wine and chips with gravey were yum and traditional. You can’t make a booking they only take walk ins!
