After more shopping at Macquarie Centre I was determined to give this place a go. I was sold on the fact it had bagels... and they had a decent amount of diners inside. My wife did warn me that her last dining experience here was enough to conclude that I would not be impressed.... but knowing me I had to make that decision mistake for myself.
So I ordered their Pastrami Bagel - NY Deli Pastrami, Pickled Cucumber, Fresh Tomato, Lettuce and Mustard. When the bagel came out my wife just snickered as I stared at it with disappointment. The size was awfully smaller than a burger. The other let downs was that bagel just didn't have that chewy bite to it, the pastrami was dry and the mustard was no where near enough. Overall I felt just ripped by this bad experience.
As a side I ordered some Curly Fries with Moroccan Salt... and some French Aioli dipping sauce. This was the highlight of the meal. The fries were a tad oily but tasted fantastic... and it only made it better with the aioli... oh aioli... is there anything you can't enhance...
Price wise, you're paying a lot more for a lot less. I understand bagels do cost more but what made it a rip off was the fact the bagels were no where as great as places like Brooklyn Bagel Boys or Brooklyn Hide.
I think Macquarie Centre has a lot to offer regarding food... and for me this place just doesn't cut it. I'd only recommend the curly fries if you really must visit...
