★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food was good but staff need to be more alert. Too many times that the staff are not as attentive as they should be. Orders are always wrong

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a completely American style meal, so I could have a good dinner because it was unique. I've been to many restaurants, but the interior of the store was impressive, and the atmosphere of the American style came out. The food was pretty good, too. The gravy fries were the best! you must eat gravy fries.. I can't say the service was very good. I didn't treat badly, but I didn't really feel the tone of voice and welcome. But if you want to have a special American meal, it's worth a visit ??

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came around 2pm for the famous Reuben. I was thinking the same style like Katz deli in NY. You know the stack of pastrami on rye bread...
When we came straight away were told they are out of rye bread but do bagels. Oh well not the same, but I came for pastrami.
Got just bagel with like 100g of pastrami, melted cheese and 1/4 of gherkin for almost $23? Poutine was OK, nothing special.
Same goes for the potato rosti (latkes) which were soggy. Friend had veal schnitzel and wasn't impressed either.
Unsure what the fuss is about. The staff was cleaning up and unless asked basically ignoring us.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came with a friend and my 11 yr old. Had the NY strip steak, poutine fries, toasted Reuben and the three way dessert (cheesecake and pecan pie). The steak was great. Loved the poutine fries!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What we ordered:
- Grittlecakes $9
- Poutine $10.50
- Latkes w apple sauce $12
- Three way $21
- Bottomless filtered coffee $5
This was really good, which is evident through the rather large waiting list at all times (I'd definitely recommend booking a table in advance). The latkes were my personal favourite. They were super crispy and were contrasted so well by the sweet apple sauce.
The poutine was also great, I wasn't sure what to think about the texture of the cheese curds but the gravy was rich and the fries soaked up the flavour really well. The grittlecake was fluffy and so magical with a crunchy cinnamon-y strudel topping and blueberry jam. I also really enjoyed the three pies. The cheesecake was simple but really great. The strawberries and cream were a great accompaniment to highlight the taste of a plain but good cheesecake. The banoffee pie wasn't really my thing, I'm not a huge fan of bananas, but I still can't deny how nice it was with the crunchy popcorn topping. The pecan pie however was my personal favourite. It was not overly sweet but still had a caramel taste and the crunchy texture was such a nice contrast to the otherwise cakey crust.
I'd definitely go again because I'm super interested in trying the toasted Reuben!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’m from New York, and The Federal claims to be an authentic New York-style Jewish delicatessen. So naturally, I had to try it out. Went here for breakfast, the griddle cakes and pastrami hash did not disappoint. Hash was tasty, but definitely not prepared in the traditional style that it would be in a Jewish deli back home. They also ran out of hot cocoa, which was a bit disappointing. Next time I go back I’ll have to try their matzoh ball soup — a staple of any worthwhile Jewish deli. Overall though, it was great, but not amazing. As someone who was born and raised around this food, I give it a solid 4/5.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love The Fed! The first time I stopped in here was for a quick breakfast. I had their filter coffee (excellent) and their pastrami poutine (so good!). Then the next time we came it was me and one of my kids, she is fussy. But there was a hot dog in the menu and she really enjoyed her meal. So that was a win! And last time was really recently for a family meal and to introduce our eldest to the magic of The Fed. It’s a bit of a road trip for us to get here but it’s one of my firm stops when we need to be in Auckland Central.
