The Wagyu pastrami sandwich steals the show, earning near-universal praise for its rich, indulgent flavor. Reviewers describe the overall vibe as a no-frills, carnivore’s paradise that delivers bold, satisfying comfort.
“The Wagyu pastrami sandwich is on another planet. I've had pastrami from Katz's Deli and Langer's in LA—world-renowned places—and this is not far off. The quality of the meat is sensational, the flavor, all the trimmings, everything is brilliant.”
“I may have achieved something here with this sandwich. The only other times I've tasted a sandwich that made me salivate this much were Katz's Deli in New York and Langer's Deli in Los Angeles — both considered the best of the best for pastrami. There are three layers of pickles: pickled gherkin, sauerkraut, and pickled red cabbage. The sharpness and acidity cut through. The bread is caramelized on the outside, buttered to within an inch of its life and pressed with a gorgeous cast iron sandwich press. It's absolutely incredible.”

Lamb Chops
I love my chops. They have a beautiful marinade on them, not overpowering, just enough to let the meat show off. They're perfectly done, so tender.
Kebab
The kebab is a bit different from my chutney, but it's unreal.
Wagyu Ribeye Steak
That's great, Adam. Delicate, a bit of butter and salt. Melts in your mouth. The marbling is unbelievable.
Shredded Lamb Rice Box
It's good. I had it with the chutney, which is so good.
