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!
Hands down the best reuben sandwich I’ve tried in Auckland 😍 - I ordered both reuben and cuban sandwich and fell in love with both. Price is reasonable for what you get and will def be coming back 😋
First time here, enjoyed it. Meaty and delicious
Super delish - no pun intended. Ordered the bacon buttie with fried egg and the reuben NY style. Bacon butties greasy goodness combines with the crispy bottom fried egg and bacon will make you want to order a 2nd. But before you do, try out the reuben to get your pastrami fix because it's definitely comparable with overseas NY deli standards. Only thing I wished for is that my cheese was melted as advertised! Would've scored full marks otherwise. Good stuff
Had the Cuban. Delicious. Prices are up there.! Lots of filling. Lovely staff.
I love the vibe of this place- it’s super cute, although it doesn’t have that much seating. The food is amazing (particularly the bagels), albeit a little pricey. One of the better cafes in Ellerslie.
Sandwiches to die for ...delicious. And they were ok with my request of no cheese.
Not a lot of sitting space so be ready to be eating in front of the grill
Crunchy deliciousness!!!
I had the patty melt and my oh my it was a delectable experience for my tastebuds 🤤
Gotta get yourself one if you haven't try them
Ordered a Cuban sandwich and my friend got the Reuben and we had a half each. While we both enjoyed the Reuben very much, the Cuban was spectacular. Lovely pork flavour with the melty cheese and the pickle to balance everything on lovely soft bread that was grilled to perfection. The supreme coffee was really good too and the service was friendly and attentive despite being busy with takeaways.
We also tried the chocolate caramel slice which was luscious and light and not too sugary which i personally like about desserts.
Would love to see more seating there as it is a lovely atmosphere to be in and will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in the area.
Great place with friendly service, nice to find genuine specialist sandwich deli shop tucked away in Ellerslie. Recommend the Cuban, but pick anything and you can’t go wrong. And for those with the sweet tooth I did resist the Jelly Donut but it was tempting.
Great sandwiches, fast and clear service, fabulous xmas decor with running train circuit on tracks above you. Not.much space to eat and dine in, mostly takeaway but compromise the integrity of the sandwich. But still good. Would come back from French dip and more gravy
Wish I should have tried Pastrami as their shop name! We went there for a breakfast so i ordered some of bf menu which was bacon and caramelized onion with brioche buns something.. So heavenly buttery. and picked cinnamon donut for takeaway. Highly recommend to visit here again for another time.
Best local New Yorker sandwich. Try the 500g works if you have a hanger going on. This is a sure fix! Great selection of fresh juices beetroot ginger turmeric is my winner. Beautiful pastries, almond, chocolate and other very yummy specialities. These guys have won lots of awards and do amazing preserves drop in and see for yourself, try the daily specials like Elvis is back.
This place never disappoints!!! Been here a few times, and the food is superb 👌 The staff is very friendly and they serve quite quickly. We have tried a couple of sandwiches, and all are delicious.
Came here on a rainy Saturday. The staff were lovely and by 1.30pm they had sold out most of the cabinet sweets.
I got the Roast beef French dip sandwich and the Cuban Hot sandwich with an iced latte and the caramel donut for dessert.
Meat and bread ratio was perfect. The Cuban reminded me of the sandwiches I had in New York. I think that has to be my favorite closely followed by the Roast beef. I wanted that gravy to be slightly thicker and lots more of the gravy deliciousness.
The coffee was beautiful and the donut was scrumptious. Definitely coming back here again for that Cuban sandwich
Quite a busy place with lots of people ordering take out.
Sandwiches were tasty and the bread was crispy yet it didn’t hurt the mouth. Recommend the cubano.
An absolute favourite if you are looking for an American Hot Deli experience! Staff are fantastic, food is made with love! Their pastrami is the best! We'd love to see them expand to have better seating for dine in experience Atmosphere is fun, they love holiday decorations! A must - visit!
Whoever made my sandwich. You are a legend . A team of professionals in motion making the greatest food right in front of you. Recommend eat in while it's hot.
We ordered the Reuben as a combo with chocolate chip cookie and soda with a Caesar salad.
Caesar Salad - AMAZING! Good anchovy strips throughout, amazing poached eggs, yum dressing and everything was just crisp and fresh tasting. 10/10
Reuben - Flavour so yum but I had so many fatty pieces in mine it let it down a bit. My partner would love those bits but I'm not so keen, especially right now while pregnant. Also can't stand smell or taste if butter so was super grateful that they made me one without butter 🥰. 8/10.
Cookie - A great texture with a nice crunch around the edges but also a chew. I would've wolfed down the whole thing but the flavour was really eggy so personally didn't enjoy the taste (might be another 🤰 aversion though). 6/10
Customer Service - The staff and owner here are honestly so lovely and would come back just because of that! 10/10
Great little sandwich shop tuckaway in the Elleslie village centre. Probably the best sandwich I had in Auckland. Refresh, tasty and full with flavour...
Their coffee is really good and I'm a very picky coffee drinker.
Recommended!!
